    Who remembers the beginning?

    Dear Cryptic, please let us keep One Night in Bozeman.

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 12:28 AM PDT

    I know it's a First Contact Day special, but when was the last time we had a good ground patrol? With Seven of Nine, no less? Petition to keep One Night in Bozeman in the permanent rotation.

    Love, Lilira Val

    Can't claim XP booster from FCD box

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 09:27 AM PDT

    So, now the box says "Choose 3", I have one item to claim (the XP boost). It won't allow me to choose just that one.

    Does the Mirror Romulan uniform work on Romulan BOffs on my Fed toon?

    Is there a list of kit modules and ship abilities that CANNOT be set to auto on Console?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 04:30 AM PDT

    I've given up hope that more abilities will get auto-trigger options on console, but I am also fed up of buying something off the exchange, or even worse; completing a reputation project, only to find out I can't set it to auto and will therefore never use it.

    Does anyone know where I can check to find this information before I make more regrettable purchases?

    Thanks in advance.

    Ten Forward Weekly 23.04.2020: The Akira Remaster

    Posted: 22 Apr 2020 08:20 PM PDT

    Link: Twitch

    ​

    Theme: The Akira Remaster

    Guest: lead ship and UI artist Thomas Marrone

    ​

    This stream was more about technical description of process.

    ​

    • From the very start Thomas employed ruthless attention-grabbing technique: he got a cat. Again.
      • Mike wanted to show off his own 3 sleeping cats, but decided not to show them because of accompanying mess.
    • Thomas decided to update the Akira because he found spare time.
      • He was replacing 5 years old model that was also done by him when he updated the model. Starting push was applying "legendary" material to old Akira. He was now able to model it better as he had more polygon budget and better materials.
    • New model have about 2 times more triangles.
    • All texture sheets in STO are made to be universal, so, while there are better matches, every material (at least across the faction) should fit every ship shape.
    • Model ended up being different enough, so Thomas had to scrap old UV map.
      • UV mapping takes on average 3-4 days for STO ship.
    • Thomas is pretty sure that because of technical constraints at the time his model is better than one from the original show.
    • Big reason why "new" Defiant in DS9 had same registry as the old one was because at that point creating and using new model was expensive, while keeping old one allowed them to reuse the stock footage.
    • Some weapon hardpoints couldn't be set top/bottom mode (like DBB spot), so if placed far enough into the ship weapon fire can clip though the hull.
      • Kelvin was one of harder ships to distribute weapon hardpoints on.
      • Sometimes there are only "least bad" choices.
      • Canon designs are usually worse in that respect.
    • Mike wants to experiment with more "Artists of the STO" streams.
    • When asked what ships Thomas wants to work on, time permitting, he said that he wants to update other old STO ships.
      • He also said that he would love to add is NSEA Protector from Galaxy Quest.
    • Cryptic still have concept art from Perpetual Entertainment, but without context.

    Lucille Ball

    Posted: 22 Apr 2020 05:31 PM PDT

    I wonder why the devs didn't think of putting Lucille Ball along with the rest of the members on the memorials. She basically saved the franchise.

    Newb Fleet Admiral Questions

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 07:58 AM PDT

    Hopefully these don't qualify for the "Dumb Question" thread, and just in case I screw up the flair, I play on the XB1.

    I have been playing for about 2 weeks, which is about how long I give a F2P game, and have made it to level 65 with a Discovery Era Federation officer. I am currently hitting missions (although I have lost track of the "storyline" with all the choices that keep popping up) and I am still trying to get equipment to build up my ship so, I am probably one of those ships youtubers hate on with all the different colored beams during combat.

    I get how F2P games work, so I am not afraid to grind (or spend money if I am having fun) but I wanted to make sure I wasn't headed down a blind alley. I am still enjoying the missions, but I am not sure about being ready for the end game at this point.

    1. With the limited slots across the board, what should I be keeping? Kits for other classes? Lower level consoles? What should I do with the stuff I don't want to keep? I have been recycling them with the replicator for the EC, but I found a merchant freighter thing and realized I can pretty conveniently sell or place it on the exchange even in space.
    2. As a early game player, what should I be doing with my Dil and EC? I was randomly invited to a Fleet, and there are always projects that need Dil, but I have been saving mine, mostly because I don't appear to be able actually use fleet credit. As for EC, I have bought a couple of R&D Doffs to make progress over on that minigame.
    3. Admiralty questions: are the ship cards shared at the character level or account level? If I start a new character, do I get those ships on my main, or do I have to wait until they are 51? Why do the numbers change between what shows up in the list, and what is actually needed for the mission? I had one that showed 20/20/20 but ended up a lot higher between 75-130 in all categories when I selected it.

    Thanks in advance for any information or advice.

    Weird? Anyone else got this bug?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 10:46 AM PDT

    What's your favorite ship for each faction?

    Posted: 22 Apr 2020 07:07 PM PDT

    I've been playing for years now and have cycled through plenty of ships.

    When it comes to the Federation, the fleet Gagarin has been quite nice. Nice weapons layout, good module selection. I do wish the boffs were a bit different but nothing is perfect. I run type 8b hull material with blue Regula hull paint on the DSC Shepard skin- it's got a strong Excelsior family vibe to it. I wish the Shepard class nacelles were a bit chunkier though.

    On the Klingon side it has to be the fleet Mat'Ha Raptor. Damn near perfect ship. There are times I wish it had a battle cloak, but who doesn't want one? I alternate between a beam FAW build for mowing down crowds and a cannon alpha strike build for backstabbing single enemies.

    Honorable mentions: TOS Paladin/Ranger. If only the T6 fleet Paladin could use the TOS bridge!

    So is it too late to get a 10th Ann Legendary Ship?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 07:04 AM PDT

    I just started playing this game and I saw that the ships I want come in a bundle but it appears the 10th Anni Legendary Ship bundle isn't available anymore so I can't get the ships. I would like the opportunity to buy the bundle. Will the ships ever be available again? Either as a bundle or individually? Thanks.

    Getting a received spiked before LAG and then disconnect from STO

    Getting a received spiked before LAG and then disconnect from STO

    I thought I would provide a bit of constructive information on some of the server lag in the last few days. My ping times usually hover in the 100's and send and received packets are usually in the 30-100. however I noticed that right before the client timeout and/or disconnects, I am seeing a huge number of received packets. Attached is a screen shot of the even as it happened. It looks like this is a 1:1 event as over the past week or so, I have only been dropped when the received packets blow up.

    Can someone help me understand my traceroute and fix my connection?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2020 01:54 AM PDT

    I've been having terrible, game-literally-rendered-unplayable lag the last week or so. I thought it was some bullshit like Verizon throttling me or Cryptic's servers being made of fail, but I just now got around to performing a traceroute:

     > tracert patchserver.crypticstudios.com Tracing route to patchserver.crypticstudios.com [208.95.184.200] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.1.1 2 25 ms 25 ms 24 ms 10.5.99.1 3 26 ms 26 ms 27 ms G101-0-0-8.CMDNNJ-LCR-21.verizon-gni.net [100.41.16.226] 4 * * * Request timed out. 5 * * * Request timed out. 6 33 ms 31 ms 36 ms 0.ae13.GW14.NYC1.ALTER.NET [140.222.235.127] 7 30 ms 30 ms 30 ms vodafone-gw.customer.alter.net [204.148.1.254] 8 33 ms 32 ms 32 ms akamai-us-gw.nyk.cw.net [195.89.106.110] 9 32 ms 33 ms 31 ms po110.bs-b.sech-lga.netarch.akamai.com [23.57.97.245] 10 31 ms 31 ms 40 ms a72-52-1-147.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com [72.52.1.147] 11 32 ms 38 ms 41 ms ae121.access-a.sech-lga.netarch.akamai.com [23.57.97.251] 12 64 ms 47 ms 44 ms ae156-2224.access-a.sech-iad.netarch.akamai.com [23.211.114.23] 13 45 ms 44 ms 44 ms a72-52-27-212.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com [72.52.27.212] 14 54 ms 47 ms 47 ms 198.49.243.237 15 44 ms 43 ms 43 ms patchserver.crypticstudios.com [208.95.184.200] Trace complete.

    The pings to Cryptic's servers seem reasonable. It's those two time-outs that do not. Clearly there's some overloaded or broken nodes between me and Cryptic, and nearer to me than anyone else.

    Is there any way I can figure out which ones timed out, and configure my internet connection to route around them and never ever try to connect to them again?

    Or do I need to contact Verizon?
