Check out the mini-map in the screenshot. That's how far the map geometry goes outside of the ESD interior. Also found out that the starships floating in the core dock area are all fakes (no solid geometry).  Managed to get above one, leaped for a warp nacelle and well...  Good thing I had an environmental suit on  .

So the goon channel chat got talking about Plasmonic Leech a bit ago. On a whim I got 5 Tal Shiar boxes (had 5 keys stashed). Got 4 Doff packs... and a loving Plasmonic Leech box.   Now I'm torn on whether to keep it for an alt or cash it out to make up for the fact that Voth Bastion boxes have dropped 25M in the last week, as I'm trying to get a Recluse. Oh yeah FrostyJones, I have all the bits for a TR gun made up. Just need to get them to you at some point. Also, can you make any other Lv 15 items ? I'd love to get a Sci and Engy console at some point.

Is it possible to put in a support ticket for in-game email screwups ? I mailed a ship box to someone who accidentally hit the spam button on it, and POOF it went  . You'd think they would put in safeguards for poo poo like this but I'm guessing in-game mail isn't exactly high on their list of stuff to work on.

It was a Mirror Ha'feh, he is klankrom, I'm Fed, and for a few minutes I somehow totally forgot that Drozana exists. So I popped over to K-7 and threw it into a mail message  . Oh well, poo poo happens.E: I have to wonder exactly how much poo poo the mail system has eaten over the years. There's probably a pocket universe somewhere that's full of lock boxes and random stuff, just floating in space. And every so often, something else gets added to the pile. It could be called the Missing Left Sock Universe. MREBoy fucked around with this message at 07:47 on Sep 6, 2014 |

ComradeBigT posted:So how did they 'upgrade' the pve stuff? It sorta seems like they upped the difficulty and necessary gear level and dumped the rewards. This is based on what other people have said though, I have yet to try it. http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/7006643-queue-revamp There are now 3 tiers for STFs. Normal stayed the same. Advanced is now the old Elite, with the formerly optional tasks no longer optional, with new optionals thrown in on top. Elite is the top level, L60 characters only, and the now doubled up optionals are again not optional, plus all the enemies are super juiced on steroids, crack and meth, with the newest STFs having some annoying timing/mechanics stuff thrown in on top. Oh yeah, Hive Elite ? Better hope that not everyone is dead at the same time because that's an immediate auto-fail now. At least now the game is nice enough to let you know exactly how many multiple thousands of damage points the dongship lances one-shot you with.

I've been farming some missions recently for kit modules and I wanted to see about upping the survivability of the main ground BOffs I have. Right now all 4 have a random assortment of XI/XII blue/purple Polyweave armor and shields. I have sufficient fleet credits and Dil to buy all of them Elite Fleet armor and shields. For armor I'm thinking Polyalloy ResAll/RegSH/Nanite and the RegSH Shields.

3.45 AM EST Trip report: Server stability is still poo poo, even after the emergency maintenance they did tonight. I got disconnected 3 times in less than an hour then said gently caress it after the last one. Things I did or encountered tonight: Some goons have Mk 14 Gold secondary deflectors already Pubs will pay 100k on the exchange for a skill book the trainer NPCs sell for 2k Some of my BOffs have sprouted random skills I don't remember them having (Mine Dispersal Beta 3 on a Jem'Hadar ? WTF?) Market for some skills is already in full throttle SR-71 went into a nosedive cratering for some powers (saw EPtW 3 for anywhere from 300k to multiple millions) Got my Intel dude OSS 3 People already have Rank 3 Command skills up for sale, BOff training tokens for Command were 3M and up when I got my last disconnect. Didn't do any of the new missions or the daily hunt the omega mission though.

Official response, from the new head honcho guy no less, about them taking mark conversion projects out of the Dil weekend - http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=22133821&postcount=89 some Cryptic person posted:While the earn rates for Dilithium remained fairly constant for any type of content that provided it as a reward, the earn rate for Dilithium that was collected using the mark conversion projects during the event skyrocketed. When we allowed mark conversion projects to gain a bonus during the Dilithium event, the vast majority of people were only using mark conversion projects during the event. By not offering a bonus on these projects, we are making mark conversion projects valid and valuable all the time, not only during the few Dilithium Weekends we run every year. tl,dr: We suck at proofreading, and we did this to increase the value of mark turn-ins!  And as an attempted placate measure, they are making this a Dil Week (lasts until the 12th now), instead of just a Weekend.

Seconding the "get an Intel cruiser" thing over an Excelsior. They have very similar BOff layouts, except the Intel has an advantage in a Universal Ensign slot and a Lt. Commander Engineering slot. Also, you get a cloaking device and access to Intel skills, which means fun & useful things like Override System Safeties, Surgical Strikes and Ionic Turbulence. The advantages of the Excelsior are that sexy look  , a bunch of built in trans-warp destinations and one more Tactical console slot. And definitely stay away from the Command ships right now.

Level 3 had some sort of major WHOOPS moment on the 27th, an "unexpected issue with routine network configuration change" type whoops that broke poo poo at a USA wide level. I tried to connect earlier tonight but the launcher took forever to do anything so I said fuckit. One of the community mods in the Neverwinter section blamed this outage for everything wrong with trying to connect to Neverwinter. Doing traceroutes to patchserver.crypticstudios.com from my computer goes to poo poo somewhere in the Cogento network, on a hop that's named for something in Boston... which is where Cryptics servers apparently are.

Due to the fact that you will apparently be able to use ships that you have commissioned, and then dismissed, with the A-System has caused the price of Mirror (insert ship type here) boxes to skyrocket on the Exchange. Stuff that was 275k EC is now north of 3 million. If anyone is thinking of doing this too, just be aware that ship dismissals are not currently being tracked and will only be tracked once 11 is released.

Ok so, is this happening to anyone else ? tl;dr - what the game is displaying for DOFF and Admiralty job rewards is off by anywhere from 20% to 75% when compared to what the Reward channel shows. I had 4 Admiralty jobs finished, 3 of the 4 had exceedingly wrong Fed Campaign XP displayed. The only one that was right was the "Divert Attention of Hostile Spaceborne Entity". The others: Escort High-Security Prisoner Transport - Displayed Campaign XP is 3,179, got 579 Transport Political Prisoner Into Custody - Displayed Campaign XP is 2,940, got 340 Investigate Stable Astronomical Phenomenon - Displayed Campaign XP is 3,072, got 472 code: Here's the DOFF job screenshot:  Note how Skill Points, Expertise and Trade XP are all wrong compared to what the text log shows. E2A: All of the above is apparently a "Known Issue".  tl;dr All displayed results are a lie, go figure.some bug hunter at Cryptic posted:The doff issue has been reported and confirmed. It appears the Doff rarity bonus (+5%, +10%, +20% for uncommon, rare, very rare) is not applying to actual rewards but is applying to the display.

wdarkk posted:If I wanted to take my Vesta out for a spin, what's the best secondary deflector to use? That depends in part on what Sci powers you are using or plan to use. There are 3 types of Secondary Deflectors, and each buffs a particular set of Sci powers. 2 of them focus on the de-buff and hold powers and add Radiation DoT damage, while the 3rd is for heal/buff powers and just basically makes them better. You can buy Mk 12 Ultra Rare ones from the R&D station for something like 10k FC and 7k dil. They are also relatively cheap to upgrade if you feel like it. http://sto.gamepedia.com/Strategic_Secondary_Deflectors
