Okay so I can have a whole team of Gorn in tuxedos and top hats and tommyguns?

I like to get back into this now and then and feel like starting from scratch but the wesley wiki seems to be down. Is there any good up to date build/money guides so I can be less of a scrub?

Hello,

So for a while now I have been almost constantly harassed and bullied in the game. The first thing I did was put the player in question on ignore, however the ignore function does not prevent them from seeing me when we are on the same map and instance.

While ignore does stop me from receiving private messages and mail, and also prevents me from seeing zone and local chat from the player. There are other problems.

The player continues to do various emotes against my character in an inappropriate fashion, constantly throw unmelting snowballs at me and using various party poopers. They also walk and bump into me on purpose, they often do this using a hologram disguise or some other gimmick in order to change their appearance to a Tholian or Undine. The larger hit-/collision box allows them to much more easily push my character around in order to trap me or push me of ledges etc.

I have made numerous reports to Perfect World Entertainment with screenshots, these have not helped.

I am not certain on what to do, I feel like I should be able to visit all public places in the game without the fear of this childish harassment. But now it’s come to the point where I will refrain from visiting certain places in the game.

The fact that Perfect World Entertainment have not helped me is disappointing, as they have helped me out a ton of times before with lost and accidently deleted items and characters so I always considered their customer support rather good.

I know making a public post about this on the forum is not a very good idea, but I’ve tried reaching out and making the appropriate reports and tickets but nothing has helped.

Having to restrict my gameplay to avoid the player in question is not enjoyable, and it’s making me lean towards no longer playing the game.

Any lurking pubbies take note: This is a very simple dilemma to solve becuse this is a Chinese MMO.

Spend more money than the other person you don't like and get your preferential treatment from the company that way.

No no, spend more than that. Way more. Like an order of magnitude more.

Also who is the troll fleet these days? Our own fleet activity is practically a ghost town tourism office.

I don't know, someone decided to point out in /say that 'Starfleet Mental is here' when I was idling in ESD today. We really did a number on the pubbies, if just standing there, not even looking obnoxious with a hosed up character, is enough to trigger someone.

Lmao, I know trolls really exist, but this whole snowwolf story sounds more like a gangstalking delusion manifested in an MMO. "The Andorians are trying to control my thoughts with microwave beams. And I left a 1/2 empty jar of peanut butter sitting on my command deck. Now it's only 1/4 full. Explain that!"

I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.
Well this is annoying. Outside the patrols included in the revamped list, does anyone know if there’s a way to access the other patrols that used to be around the Delta Quadrant? I wanted to include a couple in the LP, but the one that actually introduces the Borg Cooperative is missing. It’s supposed to be in the Jarleth system, near Argala.

The newest member of Starfleet Dental / NOP who doesn't have a SA Account was in the tailor making a skimpy catgirl outfit when I shoved her out. She cussed me out and called me a trole, then took to discord to whine about Rahhmi being annoying. Was p funny and the local erpists started laughing that someone in Dental was bitching about trolling.

I don't care where it's hosted or who is making it, just that someone who isn't as awful as me at the game looked at it and went "This isn't useless".

Then you're in luck! For only $24.99 (+ shipping) you can buy this 121 page comprehensive guide on the "intricacies of creating a character". You heard that right, for the meager sum of $24.99 (+ shipping) you'll be trekking though the character creator like a real star.

Watching Picard brought me back to this game, but my spacebar macro isn't working anymore. Did something change?

Here's what I was using, as suggested by our (former) wiki:
code:
Space "GenSendMessage HUD_Root Firephaserstorps $$ +Power_Exec Distribute_Shields $$ +TrayExecByTray 9 0 $$ +TrayExecByTray 9 1 $$ +TrayExecByTray 9 2 $$ +TrayExecByTray 9 3 $$ +TrayExecByTray 9 4 $$ +TrayExecByTray 9 5 $$ +TrayExecByTray 9 6 $$ +TrayExecByTray 9 7 $$ +TrayExecByTray 9 8 $$ +TrayExecByTray 9 9"

Reload your spacebar.txt but don't call it .txt when you load it, if that makes sense. So load spacebar without the .txt in your string but do call it that in the file system.

Welp. Cryptic account logins are dead. Now you need to make an all-new 'Arc' account and beg customer service to link your old Cryptic account to it in order to play the game.

Honestly, I'm tempted to not bother.

It never made me do this until last night. So, can't log into the game until customer service on their website links my Cryptic account with the brand new account I had to make on their site.

Do boff trait bonuses apply for all the boffs you have in your roster (max of 50 if you buy tons of slots) or just the ones slotted to use active abilities?

Only the ones assigned to stations on the ship, or away team for ground.

Well, got a workaround that's letting me play STO again. For the moment.

Since the Delta patrols got revamped (nerfed), what's the best way to grind out ship XP these days?

Your best bet would be to track down an online SFD in-game for that and channel invite. I posted twice to no avail before trying that with success.
