I hated this episode. It is completely unacceptable for a Game Master to hit the 'you lose' button. It's amateurish and frankly quite insulting to my Captain and crew to think they are suddenly all going to just turn their back on the Borg in the middle of enemy territory. I won't ever play this mission again voluntarily.…

Good news bad news. First off I am ecstatic that we finally have a way to upgrade customize or BOFF's. About time. BUT...Ground traits only?!?!? Look, the number one reason I need to train my BOFF's is to get that stupid Romulan off of my Bridge. What Star Trek Hero ship is actually crewed by Romulans, Pirates and…
-
This NEEDS to happen. Right now you have the same handfull of bridge officers manning the bridge of any ship that cares in the slightest bit about DPS. Cut it out. At what point was the Enterprise manned entirely by Romulans? Didn't Worf when he was your BOFF for one mission, have a special bridge officer ability? I will…

I get that Cryptic makes their money off the loot boxes. I also don't say that overall they've been unfair. It's actually a very fairly priced game That said I question the decision to put the Discoprise into the R&D lockbox. Why? The R&D lockbox already has the Temporal Light Cruiser in it. Why not put it in a different…

I've seen a lot of anger over the decision to make the Discovery Constitution class a R&D box only item. I'd like to make a constructive suggestion to alleviate the situation. Currently NONE of the updated TOS era T6 Enterprises are available from the C-store. Couldn't we TOS fans have SOMETHING we can buy with Zen? Some…

Not bad, but I do wish ships that have obvious mission pods like the New Orleans and the Nebula class would come in Tac/Eng/Sci variants like the multi mission ships or Odyssey class. Isn't that the whole point of mission pods?
-
Quite apart from what I think of the Discovery TV series, it makes sense that STO would do their best to bring it into the game, and I salute CBS and STO for doing so. That said I do have reservations about this continual 'make a new character to interact with the new zone' theme. With all the time travel in the game…

Is this something a lot of you have been clamoring for? Sure I get it's new content, it's something different, some of the game mechanics stuff sound interesting. I'll play one myself for a bit just to see the new stuff. But really? A Jem'Hadar? Why? They're a slave race, I pity them more than admire them. Apart from pure…

Can we please get some sort of medical Jacket for the Federation like Dr. Crusher wore? You actually have one in the game...for the Romulans. If you would just make that available for the feds too, that would be great.

The Excelsior bridge has to be the biggest missing item in the game, at least Roll playing wise. A properly scaled excelsior bridge is vital to a number of ship designs including, remember the original hard luck Odyssey which was using a redress of the Excelsior bridge. And for heaven sake don't make it exclusive to the…

I know. Can't we just give Garak some assistants in his new tailor shop and get the bad puns over with? Wonder if they'd do some voice acting for us?
-
Sounds great but can we do something about the pathetic state of the vendors? Why does 'negotiate a deal' with the npc Ferengi traders mean "browse the most useless junk in the galaxy"? It's not as if you have no NPC vendor items as you can buy useful stuff from the fleet vendors. Maybe the Ferengi have some great deals…
-
I've never met any captain in STO that made as bad a decision as we saw tonight. You have a new experimental drive that is a war winner. HQ is desparate to copy it and pouring resources into that. It all depends on one critter you've found and yet when the science crew reports that the critter is seriously ill from use,…
-
No, it's expensive and pricey, but not utter insanity. Utter insanity is charging the equivalent of 6,000 Zen for one uniform on one character in the Di store. They've gone out of the business of giving us any ship interiors, so if charging us 2000 Zen for a quality in scale interior gets them back in the interior…
-
I missed the part where we learned that Martok owed the Jem'hedar a LOT of money. Seriously what was that all about?! They went to a lot of trouble to explain this Jem'hedar was a friend of Martok's. Then when the Jem'hedar charges a Tzenkethi with his bare hands Martok tells me "don't help him." Why not? What did I bring…
-
I've said I would pay for a quality interior and I'm going to buy this one. 2,000 Zen is a bit pricy, but I would MUCH rather see this than it be put in the Lobi store, the Zen store, etc. It's not completely insane like the M.A.C.O. uniforms which go for about 6,000 Zen equivalent for ONE character. Now do a good job with…
-
I agree Risa is a tourist trap, but the game doesn't allow for quality diffrences in commodities. I still say you are getting a better value for your EC on Risa. I also deeply appreciate the years of training in programing that are needed to fix this difficult problem. We'll no doubt need a team of PHD programing engineers…
-
Seriously? $50 for the MACO uniform?!? I might buy that as I am absolutely desperate for those but not a chance in the world I will get any of the other outfits. I cannot believe these are optimally priced. We've gone from 400 zen for uniforms that were account wide unlocks to 5000 zen per character?!? You are basically…
-
Thanks for the comments. All extremely helpful. Sounds like polish and piloting skills is really the next step for me. When you see THAT big a difference I wonder if I've completely missed the boat. But it sounds like I'm more or less on the right track. I'm really not trying to break the DPS record, but I try and stay…
-
Thanks. I think the closest to what we're hearing on Risa is the Bamboo Xylophone. Some tahitian drum stuff is close too. I wonder if any of the Dev's can comment on this. Actually I'd buy an alblum of music from Risa if they made one. Other games have done alblums, I actually own an alblum of tavern music from WOW.

Since the proposed mission has been delayed by gremlins, you ought to run the Friday the 13th mission. The Deltas could use it. :cool:
-
:eek: The T6 Fleet ships have only 4 levels?! Even if you already own the T6 version? So the T6 Fleet is really a T5U plus or is it really a T6 Minus? Or a T7 once removed? Umm if this Starship trait system is going to cause five different versions of each ship, maybe we need a new plan? What if we did something like make…
-
I see to lines of thinking here. One is we want a reward for doing really had missions, a challenge. Two is good players want access to the Omega gear with effort comparable to similar gear. The answer here is a third level. Rather than destroy the old lvl 50 Borg STF's you ought to leave those alone except that you are…
-
No, that's not doable. Not for a casual player. I'm lucky if I get to play an hour a day. with a .25% success rate, no matter how good a player I am, and a half hour cool down I could at best get one a week practically. That's just to get the ship geared up to where it's supposed to be do the elite missions. The old…
-
Having it where the only way you get BNP's out of Infected is the new nerfed Task forces is insane. You NEED to grind these out to get your gear and at the new difficulty level it's just unplayable. Unplayable at a grinding level. The new missions where you fail all the time would be a good idea if they had added them as a…
-
If I could change only one thing about the T5-U upgrade it's this business of the T5 ships only being upgradeable to not quite as good as T6 ships business has to be changed. No one who actually cares about their ships combat abilities will be happy with anything less than a true T6 upgrade for all our old T5 ships. If…
-
My biggest complaint so far, regarding the new crafting system, is that I still can't use it. I'm a casual player, but I've been fairly diligent about doing my research on crafting each day and I'm still only up to level 10. I won't be able to even try to craft anything till I'm lvl 15 in Crafting. By that time, the new…
-
So far so good on the news from Delta Rising, with one exception. Federation characters are going to get the title of "Fleet Admiral" at level 60. Nuts. In the very article where Al Captain Geko Rivera announces this he repeatedly calls us players "Captains." The game is about running a starship, i.e. being a Captain, so…

Those of us using mirror universe themed uniforms could use more cropped uniforms. What about cropped Academy and Odyssey Uniforms?

The Blog gives a lovely description of the Galaxy X and how impressive it was when we first saw her. Then you go on to talk about how you reproduced that ship. I have to wonder what you are thinking. You just saw the episode, did you see the Galaxy X do a saucer separation? Did it launch fighters? Did it fire a shotgun…
