Yeah that was thankfully fixed a while back, in theory all you need to do is have the ship bought/unlocked and talk to the ship manager and the admiralty card will pop in. In practice you probably have to open the ship selection window and wait fifteen seconds for the server to actually register it but it's otherwise surprisingly flawless as cryptic code goes.FuturePastNow posted:That's really weird because I've always been under the impression that every shipyard vendor in the game is exactly the same, and it just checks your character's "permissions" (faction etc) to know what to show you. That's why you don't have to go to the fleet starbase to buy fleet ships, for example. But if they have to code each one individually that's both very stupid and very Cryptic.  You're probably vastly overestimating Cryptic's coding competence here, I wouldn't be surprised that not only are all the ship vendors separate but there's somehow different shop for each possible race/faction combination or something.

Man, the new mission Knowledge is Power is straight up bad. You have to run as a garbage NPC (so everything you've earned is locked away) on the ground with no autofire (what the actual gently caress), fighting hordes of enemies. It's time-gated, it's enemy-spam, it's just a pile of poo poo all around. My captain is still in orbit, so where are these literally hundreds of ground enemies beaming in from? And why are there feds on this otherwise Klank map? It feels like a mission out of 2012 or 2013. It's that bad.

MREBoy posted:So what sort of joke setup ships do people have ? This is one of mine: Corvette. All of the speed/turn/inertia modifiers you can pack on it. Pilot teams, epte, aux to damp, rcs consoles, that go-fast console from a mission reward, pilot spec, evasive maneuvers engine, etc. Cannon scatter volley. Turrets all around. Take it to Azure Nebula Rescue. Drift donuts around pubbies. You're so fast that you should just mash spacebar to get between astroids rather than changing your speed.

New legendary pack: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11483463 B'rel's the first announced part of it. From the silhouette it looks like the Fed ships are the Excelsior and Ambassador class ships, so we'll get the rest of the Enterprises. Also, lol at charging almost as much as the previous 10-pack for a 4-pack this time.

I just hope the next single ship bundles don't include any more level 65 boosts. Those things are super worthless, especially considering how much Cryptic seems to think they're worth. oh you just know it, TOS Era D7 bundled with a KDF 65 boost long after everyone got their recruit to max level

Honestly I would have been happier to see these as $60 legendary "bundles" rather than a big pack since at least I could just grab the B'rel and be done with it. But not throwing in a D7 variant or some other previous lockbox ship is insulting.

I truly can't understand how instant access to the all-ships all-factions thing is a selling point for that bundle for anyone but the laziest, wealthiest person. It takes a week playing casually a hour or two to get a KDF character to 65, much less if there's an XP event weekend on. It's literally nothing.

All I know offhand is 1) the risian kit frame is absurdly good, especially if you can slap 2-3 summer kitsch on it, but mostly if you reengineer it before you improve the quality so you can mqx out the amount of +kitperf, and 2) the ball lightning and... uh, gravimetric whatever modules are really good too. That's a lot of lolnauts though.

Sometimes the game tries to play two voice files at the same time. During the Klingon tutorial, upon entering sector space for the first time, it plays the tutorial computer voice and the Leonard Nimoy file for Klingon space at the same. When handing in a mission, sometimes it has the mission-giver talking and the "Level up" voice actor talking at the same time, and it's worse when it's a level which triggers a tutorial with a computer voice. It'd be useful if they could delay either of the sound files until a second after the other is done in that situation. In the NPC mission situation, I can click out of the window and start it from the beginning, at least.

Here's my team for the Klingon Recruitment Event, aside from K'Gan. Captain: Arketh Ulani Rejal Captain of the I.K.S. Dar'Kek. Against the wishes of her family, at the age of 18, Rejal joined the True Way terrorist faction of Cardassians attempting to restore a fascist government. In 2396, she helped sneak at least 75 warships off Cardassia Prime. As it became clear that the organization's efforts were fruitless to restore Cardassia to its former fascist "glory", Arketh sought refuge and purpose in building a new Empire as an ally to the Klingons. Seeking enrollment in the Klingon Defense Force, Rejal was initially denied on the grounds that the previous Cardassian government was without honor as a purveyor of concentration camps, and the True Way terrorist faction hides and sneaks in remote corners of the galaxy like cowards. Lingering on Qo'nos as a dishwasher in a bar and grill next to a back-alley slum, every once in a while Rejal would hear news concerning Cardassian and Bajoran relations. Later, she was hired as a cook on the I.K.S. Dar'Kek. As her curiosity continued to grow, she sought out holo-footage concerning Bajor from the Klingon point of view, trying to reconcile it with the Cardassian propaganda. Eventually, the dam broke and the realization of the magnitude of Cardassia's crimes broke through. Suddenly a tabula rasa without any other moral guidance, Rejal internalized that honor can only be found through the field of battle and committed to living the life of a warrior. She sought guidance on the teachings of Kahless from her crewmates and trained in the Holodeck to fight Starfleet officers. Again applying to the Klingon Defense Force with the recommendation of several crewmates, she was accepted into Klingon Academy. During this time, Rejal reached out to her family via subspace and reconciled. As Cardassia itself grew closer ties with the Federation, the alliance between the Federation and the Klingon Empire was threatened by a series of incidents involving Species 8472 infiltration of the Gorn government, Federation reluctance to join the Klingon Empire in what they believed was a border war, and a rogue Federation ship attempting to intervene on the Gorn's behalf. Renewed family ties became threatened by the dawn of war... I like playing the melee combat as 5'6". It makes the NPCs a little taller and more intimidating so it's more fun to punch them or slice them in the stomach in this "That's my purse! I don't know you!" kind of way.  Science Officer: Gesengrella "Grella" Ch'Rad She is the product of a Gorn experiment to make KDF Aenars, motivated by historical research into the 2150s Romulan kidnapping of Aenar for use as pilots. She was freed at the age of 11 by KDF forces at the end of the Gorn War. She became a scientist instead of a pilot, sparked by curiosity concerning her genetics and the homeworlds of her genetic contributors. (I tweaked the default KDF female alien by adding hair to hide the weird horror-vagina on the back of her skull and changed the make-up.)   Chief Engineer: Pavello The Lethean in the crew in the revamped tutorial had the kind of surprisingly regular-human voice that I imagined he'd have.   Chief Tactical Officer: Larzo Mebet The random Orion generator gave me a regular-sized version of a dwarf with a shrunken head, so I changed it so he kind of looks like Gimli. I was thinking of a tall, narrow Orion with hair and a goatee or soul patch, but the "epic beard" is the only facial hair option for Orions anyway. I'd probably add a Kentari female on there, as some "You wallow in your own filth like a targ, but you fight like a Klingon!" gimmick galenanorth fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Jan 31, 2021 |

 This is the Fek'Ihri console from the second anniversary episode after being fully upgraded. Is it my imagination or is this gonna make a lot of Sci powers even more stupidly overpowered ? I have 4 Temporal powers + a Radiation applying secondary deflector in use on my sort of main sciboat and all of the Temporals list Physical damage as their type.

Something that I noticed that made me lol while doing the new eps is the inconsistency on how the actors (and Cryptic) were pronouncing/spelling Fek'ihri. Sometimes it's Fek'Ihri (capital I after the k) and pronounced like FEK-LAHR or FEK-LAHR-E, and then its Fek'ihri (lower case i) and pronounced like FEK-ERIE. On the console screenshot above its got the lower case i, but I've seen several upper case examples floating about.

Unsurprisingly, it's better than the current T6 version. I'm not super excited about the seating, but it's workable. Also, either the announcement is wrong, or Cryptic realized that there weren't really enough previous excelsior's to make a legendary out of and they pulled the starship trait from the Earhart/Sech to add to it.

The new space trait you get from ambush kills is apparently bugged, it'll get you stuck in combat anytime your team is in combat, like say, during a TFO, making it impossible to catch up with anything. Which wouldn't be a problem if it didn't keep insist on automatically slotting itself.
