Most of the bans I'm aware of were for RMT or a compromised account (and one for something really bad), and the latter always gets resolved pretty quickly once they contact support. I just assume anyone banned "for no reason" is either a moron or a liar.

How do people even get banned for RMT unless they're retarded and talk about it ingame. I know multiple people who have been buying poo poo off playerauctions for years and havn't gotten owned.

For a while they decided to "fix" the spam mails for goldselling sites by scanning the chat and autobanning anyone who said the secret word. That got a bunch of people banned for complaining about junk mail in zone chat.

The glory days of jumping in ESD zone chat and saying you were writing a blog post about STO being overrun with gold sellers but you'd forgotten the name of them because you'd deleted the last spam, if only some helpful person remembered the name and could assist me.

My latest trip reports in cheap lockbox ships. Tholian Orb Weaver: Often overlooked even when it was new (mainly because it was introduced alongside the Recluse and Tarantula), the orb weaver is actually a very good science vessel. The boff layout is perhaps the platonic ideal of an old-school science vessel that doesn't support advanced specializations: comm sci, ens sci, ltcom eng, ltcom uni (read: tac), ens tac. If you're new to the game and have taken a liking to science vessels, an orb weaver is an excellent and affordable choice. Tholian Mesh Weaver: It's an escort with a ltcom sci seat, that's good. It's an escort with a ltcom tac seat on top of a comm tac seat, and then a lt eng seat. Not so good. It's not bad, but it fails to stand out from the escort crowd. APU Cruiser: As a rule I disdain any ship that doesn't have a ltcom uni or tac seat, and the APU Cruiser does not. What it does have is eng, way too much eng. There just isn't any reason for a ship to have both a comm eng and a ltcom eng. It's not terrible if you like its rather unique appearance, but it's not good. Nihydron Destroyer: I have no clue what on earth this thing wants to be. It half-heartedly tries to be an escort with a secondary focus on eng, but opts for a lt eng and ens eng seats, which are much less valuable than a single ltcom eng seat and rounds them out with a lt sci. It's an okay escort, but distinctly in the lower half of that crowded field. Undine Nicor Bio-Warship: Now here's a good escort. Comm tac, ltcom sci, ltcom uni, lt eng, all good. Quick, punchy, good boff layout (great for its time). If you want an escort on a budget, the Nicor is a fine, if dated, choice.

The Tholian Mesh Weaver is the best T5 (can be T5-U) consolation prize escort because it is the size of a shuttle.

How are goon fleet invites being handled? The OP directs you to the Wesley Wiki; I made an account there (Actionsdower) but need to be granted access. My IGN is Actionsdower, @scrander if you need that.

I also want to join. I am Satan and also @gilokius, and I tried to register for the Wesley Wiki as gilokius but apparently that didn't actually let me look at anything. I played this game, in SFD, years and years ago right after it came out. I don't remember a drat thing about it and I am going to ask so many stupid questions.

Took about 5 minutes to realize that it was a pubbie fleet with like 8 people in it, and all they did was add people and pester them for donations. Then half an hour later I got the channel invite, and all is well.

patch notes for today: Phoenix Prize Pack Event: Additions Include: Tier 1: Breen Chel Boalg Warship [T6] Lukari Ho'kuun Science Vessel [T6] Tier 3: Future Flyer Powerboard Crystal Radiation Projector Furiadon Fangs Console - Universal - Interphasic Instability Tier 4: Varel (Doff) Kobali Soldier Uniform Starship Mastery Unlock: Theta Radiation Infused Maneuverer Tier 5: Photonic Tribble This event will run from 7/18/18 – 7/25/18 The model for the Excelsior and the Excelsior Refit has been completely revamped! Advanced Heavy Cruisers can now use Type 8 and Type 8B materials, as well as Type 6 Windows. Model should update automatically for players who already have this ship but if it does not, placing the ship into the tailor will apply the update. Summer Event: Resolved an issue that caused the "Flying High" mission on Risa to not recognize that the player had already activated their floater. Baseball Hats can now be worn in the Off Duty uniform category. Deactivating floaters should be more responsive. Deactivating a floater while midair will now cause the player to fall slower than normal. Resolved an issue which was causing some players to not be able to remove a ship from Dry Dock. The Morphogenic Polaron Energy Weapon can now use both Beam and Cannon tech upgrades. "Renegade's Regret": Resolved an issue that prevented Jem'Hadar from being able to replay. Resolved an issue that was potentially causing the Karemma trader to spawn in the ground. Added the Jem’Hadar Neck tubes to all armor drop-downs in the tailor.

Add this to the patch notes: Onna on DS9 is non-functional. You can accept the 1st part of the get pack mission but 2nd part just . If they ever get this fixed, they put her just outside of Quarks, near the med bay & temple entrance. e2a: Also it's apparently Season 9 again MREBoy fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Jul 18, 2018 |

And finished out the other cheap exchange lockbox poo poo. Malon Battlecruiser: No. A ship with only two tac consoles has to do a lot to impress me, and the fartboat does not. Too much eng, two tac consoles, no ltcom tac or uni. Hirogen Hunter Heavy Escort: If you're okay with missing a ltcom sci seat, the Hunter is okay - it's a tac major, eng minor boat. Okay escort. Sphere Builder Arebhes Destroyer: Contrary to what you'd probably expect, no temporal seating here. An unremarkable escort. Kazon Heavy Raider: It's another okay escort, lots of uni seats if that interests you. Lukari N'Kaam Scout Ship: Science vessel with lots of uni seats, consoles and admiralty value correctly assume you're going to use those seats for tac. Not bad, but an orb weaver is better unless you just like flying a UFO around - I've kept this on my Jem'hadar for that reason. Mirror Universe Heavy Cruiser Retrofit: Fed only, it's an assault cruiser that also packs a ltcom sci seat. Not terrible for an entry level t5 cruiser, certainly better than the freebie assault and star cruisers, but unless you're one of the goofballs who like how this thing looks, grab yourself a d'kora instead for a cheap t5 cruiser. Mirror Universe Escort Retrofit: It's a patrol escort with a ltcom sci seat, and escorts like gravity wells, so this is actually a pretty decent t5 escort. I like it. Mirror Universe Science Vessel Retrofit: Get an orb weaver or a n'kaam instead. It's not terrible, I guess, if you really like the nova. Mirror Universe Ki'Tang Bird of Prey Retrofit: If you were going to get a hegh'ta, get one of these instead. Slightly less sci and hull, more tac. On a bop, that's a good trade. Mirror Universe Somraw Raptor Retrofit: Go read the MU escort retrofit. Mirror Universe Negh'Var Heavy Battle Cruiser: It's a negh'var with more science and less eng. Gets a ltcom sci seat out of the bargain, so it's a solid improvement over the basic model. Still not especially good (no ltcom tac), but not awful. Mirror Universe Vor'cha Battle Cruiser: It's a negh'var that's more maneuverable and more fragile. Yawn. Mirror Universe Vo'Quv Carrier: Trades the lt sci for a lt eng. Meh. Mirror Universe Ha'nom Guardian Warbird: Less tac, more eng. Not good. Mirror Universe Ha'feh Assault Warbird: Less sci, more eng. Who cares? Mirror Universe Mogai Heavy Warbird Retrofit: Surprisingly good. Ltcom sci is great on an escort, much more so than ltcom eng. If you like warbirds and like escort style, this is a fine choice. Mirror Universe Dhelan Warbird Retrofit: Less sci, more eng. Meh. Get the above escort warbird instead. Mirror Universe T'varo Light Warbird Retrofit: No, and significantly worse than the regular t'varo retrofit. Trading a ltcom uni for a ltcom tac on a ship that already has a comm tac is never a good idea. Mirror Universe Ha'apax Advanced Warbird: Loses the main universe's extra ens tac (a seat that's rarely a bad thing) in exchange for an ens sci. Bad trade on an already merely okay ship. So that rounds out about everything you can obtain for under 10 million ec on the exchange. My overall thoughts if you're looking for a cheap t5 ship: Cheap And Good Ferengi D'Kora Marauder Undine Nicor Bio-Warship Tholian Orb Weaver Mirror Universe Escort Retrofit Mirror Universe Somraw Raptor Retrofit Mirror Universe Ki'Tang Bird of Prey Retrofit Mirror Universe Mogai Heavy Warbird Retrofit Who Am I To Judge?

Before Borticus went on one of his regularly scheduled fun purges, the Nicor was actually one of the top ships in the DPS meta for all the burning sci console hijinks.

https://i.imgur.com/x6PHUTd.mp4 So if any of you haven't visited the dev server lately, the zero-G ground PvP the devs are testing out is actually rather entertaining. It's pretty buggy when it comes to sci spam and turrets, but the guns work just like you'd expect.

https://www.humblebundle.com/store/star-trek-online-humble-trekkie-pack Free stuff for about a month.  (highlight is obviously the "Humble" title) The confirmation page that's supposed to contain the key was bugged for me and was just blank, but you can grab it from https://www.humblebundle.com/home/keys once you've placed your "order". Redeem the code on the arc website (https://www.arcgames.com/en/redeem/), there's no reason to ever run the client. The item is under the Promotions tab, contrary to the instructions provided by Humble Bundle.
