The missing badge thing is probably not related to this. Up until recently my characters would show the badge when I left them on ground and not show it if I left them hanging in space, but suddenly most (but not all) of them had the badges in the selection screen, however, only one of them failed to load. These missing…

Same issue here. A single character of my "crew" does not load up and will, after selecting her, "load" forever. After I once clicked on her, most of the time also clicking on another character will not get them to load up, although there was an exception. All others are behaving as they should. It is always the same…

While I am pretty annoyed myself right now (respec bug, Q not appearing in first city, unstable general performance), your suggestion is nonsense. (a) not all bugs can or will be found, more importantly (b) now new content - less new money - STO closes down.
-
Already introduced characters (or other elements) can also be a Deus ex Machina if either them being there doesn't make sense or there is some previously unknown property they have not discussed before. And I do think that the story in game should work even if you don't read the story blog (although I appreciate it). If…

After a couple months of minimal playing time (probably being one of the few people who are not working in an essential position yet have way less time than at the beginning of the year) I came back to those two new missions. Gotta say I am not impressed. These missions would have been very fine in them early days, but the…

You already mentioned it, so it probably isn't the case, but the only instance I can think of which would give a "not meeting requirements" error would be trying to open a clothing item for females on a male toon. Especially "cropped" jackets.
-
(A) would be very sensible and helpful for playing the game, but since variations of the theme have been put forward quite often, at this point in time I doubt it will happen. Although many things have been changed recently or are being changed, so it's probably not completely off the table. (B) and (1) through (4) are…

Rest in peace indeed, and I hope you enjoyed your stay on this planet.

Thirding this. While fleet leaders are usually looking around what happened in their fleet, they may miss something, or think they already promoted you to the deserved level. Just ask nicely whether somebody could promote you. Always remember though, fleet leaders are players, too, and may be in a mission or TFO. If they…

While you are technically correct, as has been said by @davefenestrator there is zero evidence for it. (Actually there is zero evidence for the general assumption of the post I was referring to that players are leaving in droves as well), so it is sensible to assume that players of all kinds are equally likely to leave a…

This makes no sense from an economic point of view. The number of players has nothing to do with the level of prices at the exchange, because supply and demand will scale down at the same level. With less players it may have more volatility, but in general half the playerbase means half the supply and half the demand. With…

Thing is, the more endgamey your toon is, the more damage and quick kills he gets, increasing the speed of getting those endeavors. At the same time, your damage resistance and similar increase, reducing the damage you get and thus your healing opportunities in normal gameplay. Also, in space almost everybody has some kind…

Though it wouldn't have to be the same magnitude, it could be a three-tiered like all the others, or even a different size. Since we're not completed with our colony just yet, we can wait though ;)

Very sad to learn this. All the best to his wife, family, and friends.

Funnily I have the exact opposite experience and opinion. I like the mission a lot. Loads of cutscenes detailing the background but all skippable, absolutely fantastic graphics including the traverse from one space island to the next. Quite a lot of different mechanics used so you cannot just shoot and interact - and I…

Okay, I misstated, I meant "boffs gotten by doff missions". And while most are in the 10k range, females (of sufficiently human looks) often go beyond 100k, and a female Orion can easily fetch 500k, sometimes a million and more. But I completely forgot about Cardies who go beyond that still.
-
That would be the Benzite. At least female Orion boffs fetch by far the highest prices on the exchange. Followed - with respectful distance - by human and almost human (Bajoran, Trill, Betazoid) females. With Tellarites or Rigellians prices between males and females don't differ any more. So there's that.
-
Because preservers. Real alien species would be way more different in size (though still in the same order of magnitude for multiple reasons) and appearance, and certainly not sexually compatible if it weren't for the preservers. And tradition in made up folks. And 1960s production values.
-
To be fair, he will one-shot you there, too. Though you won't get injuries of course.
-
Well, the whole point of LTS is (or was, when subscriptions still were a thing) shortening down the wait time for subscription rewards and getting a discount in return for Cryptic having their money safely now and not possibly some time in two years, a frame in which players can always decide to cancel their subscription…
-
Can you define "actual players" please? Is it you and your buddies? Does it include the many players in this thread which do not agree with your assessment of what is needed? In which case the game (or rather the company) does care for its actual players. If they are not included, why aren't they? I am really not a fan of…
-
The lack of options is the main reason I didn't make some more Roms. I'd want to - unfortunately this has been thrown out IIRC.
-
Although to be fair, there's no canon character immunity in STO as a whole.
-
I was insulted by the tweet insinuating this is insulting to Star Trek fans. Being one myself, and not a Star Wars fan, the mere mention of that franchise doesn't hurt my feelings at all. Apart from that, I liked the aerobics workout.
-
This is what annoys me most: players who don't try to play the objectives. This is one thing where many "non DPS" players could shine - they still activate stuff or close portals just as fast and can contribute a lot. People fighting with decoy mobs for the entirety of the TFO though ... sometimes you even get complaints…
-
There is however a difference, not necessarily in morality but in how it feels, between the abstract fact on a map and individually doing, in the case of Renegade's Regret, unnecessary killings even within the context of the mission goal. Also the difference between being ruthless and actually evil. (As an aside, the term…
-
All true and it may well be that CBS will not allow playing "evil". But I think another major point, which warpangel indirectly mentioned, is that everybody needs to join up eventually. Having a full blown evil faction would mean the need for a different storyline for many parts of the game which needs to be created, and…
-
Thanks for the info guys'n'gals!
-
My toons themselves are somewhat normal, I have some boffs though that would be difficult to recreate with human actors. (In case you're interested: long legs short torso vs short legs long torso isn't even a comparison, legs win by a landslide). But yeah, diversity rules. However, I find extra small characters to be…

Nothing in the recruitment events is essential to playing and succeeding in the game IMO. I would be hurt by missing the Paradox Corrector for the name alone ("Me? Dying? Against the laws of this universe!") However, as has been said, all are account unlocks, and for altoholics (who don't just create them for farming…
