So if your bars/doffs are constantly resetting, after assembling a buncha the anecdotal 'worked for me' fixes and looking for commonalities, and asking a few other people who were doing the same, here's what I did that finally made it stop for me. Go to sector space (not in orbit somewhere) Get all your stuff the way you want it Make a loadout or save over one Change ships Change back Your stuff should still be as you'd saved it, if not, start over Zone into orbit or another sector zone I'd done parts of that set of BS and it hadn't happened for a couple of days, but since doing that entire chain it hasn't happened at all.

I haven't switched back though.

I have to say I'm kind of impressed with how good this game has gotten, relatively speaking. I played at release and quit right after S1, and I only lasted that long because I was hard-up for a Star Trek game. After hesitantly returning for LoR I've been continually surprised and impressed with the quality of the updates for both content and quality of life improvements (annoying bugs aside). Their F2P model is outstanding and I never feel coerced into subscribing or spending money to keep up, which stands in contrast to something like SWTOR's punitive extortion model. The balance feels spot on for obtaining stuff; you can either work towards it in a reasonable amount of time and/or buy some zen with dil/cash to speed things up. I'm the cheapest of the cheap when it comes to spending real money on video game pixels, but even I've spent $5-$10 on zen around each update due to the lack of a subscription and the stream of decent content. It saves me time and I like supporting the continued development of the game. Not sure what I'm getting at, it's just been neat watching this go from a terrible game with almost no appeal outside of its Star Trek IP to something I'd probably enjoy playing even if it wasn't Star Trek. If anyone's on the fence about trying it out, I'd say it's worth a shot.

Yeah. It gets a lot of (sometimes well-deserved) mockery, but the game is honestly basically unrecognizable from its lovely launch state. The F2P scheme is easily one of if not the best MMO payment schemes on the market, yes even with the lockbox gambling crap, and there's a whole lot of intelligent game design and quality of life features that Cryptic's done that you really, really miss in other games. A single unified server, non-unique character names, the complete lack of endgame raiding-style bullshit, the fact they've managed to work with an endgame itemization that's almost entirely sidegrades rather than a constant treadmill, actually having a unique combat type as a main focus (space shooting), and so on. It's a massively underrated game and almost everyone I know whose tried it continues to play it off and on.

Asimo posted:The F2P scheme is easily one of if not the best MMO payment schemes on the market. Yeah, I'm a big fan of that. I was a subscriber to this game early in its lifespan (I forget which season, but I played while ground combat was still the usual MMO-style slog) and even though I'm F2P now, I really don't notice any features missing. The only thing I miss is extra bridge officer slots, but those aren't expensive (or even really necessary, I don't think) to unlock, it's an honest-to-god complete game without a subscription, which is nice to see in an MMO. I feel like most of the stuff you'd spend extra money on or unlock by subbing is cosmetic for the most part. For QoL stuff, I love love love love love how all quests can be picked up/turned in just from a menu, no matter where you are in space. I play SWTOR too, and it's such a goddamn slog while leveling to hoof it around the map picking up quests and then returning to the questgiver to get your reward. I wish more games would copy STO in that regard.

The trait rework has also made ground combat a lot cooler to do since you no longer have to gimp yourself for space or ground.

I like the "sidegrade" aspect of max level. So sick of +1 mechanics in games, "just kill 100 more pigs so you can kill 1000 more hell pigs - they are red!". This way you have options and lets people who just hit max level to still perform decently in all the content or at least gear up incredibly quick if they have a few old items. Letting them focus on stuff they want to do. And the art design has been the biggest improvement IMHO. From level design to game mechanics it's all fitting together and looking great doing it.

Reinstalled this yet again to give it another shot. I want to try out the Romulus stuff but all my character slots are full. Would it take a long time to get enough PW bux to buy more slots by just doing ingame stuff?

Nah, if you've already got multiple characters you should be able to grind up a character slot increase pretty fast.

So I haven't played in like a year and a half (I think? The last time I played they just finished the Jem'Hadar fleet popping out of the wormhole storyline) and I have no clue what the hell everything does anymore.  Also if I could get an invite to the goon channel (Peaches@Dutch_Rave_Hangar) that'd be great thanks.

Forget contra turn ins on dil weekend (not really) the real money is in saving all your omega marks and bnp's between dil events and then unlimited omega mark/bnp to dil turn ins. 2500 every 4 hours is cool and all but 750 every 20 seconds or so is so much sweeter.

At least Dukat was condemned to an eternity of suffering at the end. Weyoun just keeps coming back.

People can claim it's poor writing if they want to, but they're pretty much just whiny assholes who happened to live next to a strategically important location and the show runs with that pretty hard. Also it sounds like we have a non-believer in the thread. I think some re-education is in order.

Psychosis? Dukat was a great man, demonized by the head writing staff because the people at the top thought that having a sympathetic antagonist was too complicated for the standard Trek viewer. Dukat did what he did for the betterment of the Cardassian and the Bajoran people. Do you not recall how he helped to foster an alliance between Bajor and the Dominion when they came through the wormhole, and yet, even as Kira and he were supposed to work together in their new alliance, she just couldn't let go of the anti-Cardassian propaganda put forth by the provisional Bajoran government. Propaganda that she should have realized was false after working with him. EDIT: Psycho brings up a good point, the Bajorans were the initial aggressors, invading Cardassian space with their sail boats. The Cardassian government simply sought to free the Bajoran people from their horribly oppressive caste system. Another thing you can thank Dukat for. Were it not for his work with the Bajoran resistance against the then Bajoran government, people like Kira would have been nothing more than an artist, or a musician instead of letting her true ability as a soldier shine.

The Bajorans in game are whiny, insufferable shitheels that scream and rage about the indignity of hosting Starfleet and the KDF temporarily while they keep their ingrate asses alive and their planet safe. Let's not forget that the Prophets themselves tell us in the 2800 that they unleashed the Dominion on Bajor because they were getting sick of their preachy, useless bullshit, and felt they needed to be taught a lesson. In the latest content, while trying to protect the Bajorans from infiltrators in their midst intending to wreak the same violence on them that the Bajorans unleashed on innocent Cardassian schoolchildren on a regular basis, the Bajorans grow agitated, like the children they are, and attack their would-be rescuers. Wait, what's that? Bajorans lashing out at better-educated, more civilized people endeavoring only to uplift them to a modern standard of decency and protect them, and the only sensible and moral thing is to put them down like the rabid dogs they are? Why, that sounds awfully like...  ...Dukat was right. If the implementation of Cardassian ideals and Cardassian order seems harsh, it is only because the savages of Bajor are so far from enlightenment, ensnared in the depths of superstition and radical religiosity. It is only after the, lamentably, violent suppression of the murderous Bajorans that their survivors can be reeducated into beings fit for entry into civilized galactic society.
