    For anyone who likes to use Augment Boarding Party to get easy admiralty ships, in the current event TFO, To Hell With Honor, the reactor shield generators count as battleships and the reactors them selves count as Dreadnoughts

    Just a helpful tip I found out while doing today's play-through, always helpful as there's plenty of both in case you miss one

    Can't wait!

    Posted: 04 Jun 2020 07:54 AM PDT

    I won't say I'm literally on the edge of my seat, but I can't wait for this event to get started! After experiencing the convenience of the D'Kora on my Klingon alt but wishing for a more Federation option for my Fed captain (and not able to find/afford the Tuffli), the Maru is out there waiting for me. Gimme gimme!

    First Contact Day Badge Issue

    Posted: 04 Jun 2020 07:23 AM PDT

    This is just a little frustrating. My Fed Liberated Borg Rom can wear most of the FCD badges on the new Alliance uniforms...but NOT the Liberated Borg one.
    EDIT: My other Fed characters have access to all the FCD badges with the new Alliance Uni. My Fed-Rom Liberated Borg is missing half of them.

    Ten Forward Weekly 27.05.2020: Kael Faces the Ultimate Test

    Posted: 03 Jun 2020 05:08 PM PDT

    Link: Twitch.

    Theme: Kael Faces the Ultimate Test

    Guests: none.

    Sorry for those who waited for it, as I wasn't able to watch the stream live and then I was unable to dedicate 2 hours to watching and editing. And they that thing happened that almost made me say "screw it all": when I wrote everything and tried to post it, reddit decided that spending 2 hours on it is too easy and irrecoverably deleted everything, including the draft. I am so filled with hatred, absolutely livid.

    Also, Mike's voice kept jumping between normal and echoing. Weird.

    • So, to mention: Mike was answering all those questions while playing Arena of Sompek.
    • It's impossible to pilot the ship from the bridge just because of how the game works, and that systems team is aware of the community ideas and considers them impossible or infeasible.
      • Idea of making travel via bridge to be effectively a transwarp, where you get interact with something or someone and when you exit the bridge and is at destination, is workable, but to Mike's knowledge would require going trough every bridge and adding the interact an thus would require a lot of work.
    • During one of recent talks when recruitment event was mentioned Mike said: "If you do something other than temporal they'll kill us."
      • That is not a promise that recruitment is coming soon, just that they talk about it.
    • They talked about Picard content, but they are concerned that most of recent content were unconnected to STO or player characters and are aware that players are concerned about it too, that's big reason why for near future, including "year of klingon", game will feature original STO 2411 content.
    • Changes to admiralty were made because there were too many ways to get too easy dilithium and that broke the exchange.
    • There are often discussions about "what can we do to make latinum suck less", but is always gets derailed by a more high priority conversations.
      • That was nice moment on stream because while he was talking he saw orbital chasing beam on the edge of the screen and we got this: "What can we do to make latinum suck less is a conversation that happens a lot round these parts. Unfortunately it's one of those conversations that keeps getting derailed by other conversations that are a higher priority because SOMETHING'S ON FIRE OH MY GOD! ah, I'll keep pushing it as we go."
    • It depends on final data, but events that reward lobi may become regular now.
      • One thing that'll depend on is how many people would get lobi compared to T6 C-Store ship.
    • No current plans to add more shuttlecraft content.
    • Locking the skill retrain behind the token is a legacy thing. Mike would like to see that changed and isn't aware why they didn't yet.
    • Seven of Nine from Delta quadrant ark wouldn't be updated.
      • On meta level it's because STO is a theme park and Delta is Voyager experience.
      • They aren't sure how much Picard's writer changed the Seven's character.
      • Joke that devs liked is that temporal manipulation during the iconian war is the reason for all discrepancies.
    • They are going to return all missions that they removed from Starfleet story. When they'll finish the rework. Sometime.
    • Because of how things are made it's probably impossible to do such things as changing the character's race after creation.
    • They may eventually do the A.C.S. Khitomer and its crew.
    • Picard series were generally light on canon change.
      • They're not sure what to do with series setting Mars on fire.
    • Content that would take us on 20th century is like holodeck content in that it'll require a lot of new content and that'll be heavy time and resource investment, which pushes is down in priorities list.
      • They can't just port assets from Champions online because it looks even older than STO and while latter received some graphical updated, the former didn't, so any porting would require a huge rework.
        • Champions is Mike's "little game that could".
    • They have definite plans on Legendary bundle content that Mike can't voice ("no selling ever again" is in range of possible decisions).
      • Apparently there was a misspeak during the stream. Mike from comments: "The one thing that's NOT on the table is never selling the bundle again."
    • They did not discount the idea of making character-locked ships account-locked, even of with the requirement of some token.
    • They're not planning to do anything with Fleet Starbases right now, but Mike will ask for exchange access.
      • History of Captain's table (lack of) improvements don't fill Mike with optimism for Starbase improvement.
    • No update on kelpiens.
      • They thought about "edible kelpiens" joke, but unanimously considered it to be way too much.
    • They actually planned to add playable changelings for Victory is Life, but ran out of time.
      • That may yet happen.
    • Cryptic updated engine for Magic: Legends and some of them are useful for STO.
    • Cryptic is aware that some players want to fly some ships, while looking like different ships. No decision, neither yes nor no.
    • Cryptic agrees that there are too many ships in T6 box, hence some started appearing in alternate locations like Mudd's market.
    • No plans on Riker right now.
    • Chat joke: "Salt Vampires are only killable via forum moderation."
    • They're unlikely to have a ship that changes a weapon layout (more radically than sci destroyers, like Dyson).
    • Borg ships are unlikely to get an ability to adapt to weapon fire.
    • Mirror invasion in its current form is unlikely to return.
    • Mounts or vehicles are unlikely to happen, because they are hard to impliment and they have Champions online as a clunky example.
    • They're unwilling to separate ground and space random TFOs as that would defeat the purpose.
    • Separate reputation and specialisation loadouts for space and ground are likely to happen.
    • Final Sompek result: Wave 76, Mike is "the Worthy".
      • I think he did fine, especially for someone who was also reading and answering the questions.

    I think I missed something after the loss of 1st version (but got other things).

    And now I'm off to today's one.

    New freighter owner's questions

    Posted: 04 Jun 2020 08:53 AM PDT

    I've got a few questions about the new freighter that are probably gonna be asked a lot in the coming days

    This Freighter has access to a secure subspace channel to call in a Security Transport ship.

    How do you call the Security Transport ship?

    it also comes with a Transwarp Drive that will allow you to access the furthest corners of the quadrant.

    How do you access the Transwarp Drive?

    Note: You can switch to your Freighter from any ship interior. Once you're done using it, switch back to any ship from the Freighter interior.

    How do you access the freighter from any ship interior?

     

    Thanks!

    Ten Forward Weekly 03.06.2020: To Hell with Honor and La Sirena on PS4

    Theme: To Hell with Honor and La Sirena on PS4

    Guests: none

    A rather uninformative, especially compared to precious one. Mostly because mike was buisy fighting with console controls, weird character build (not his char, but rather QA's one that they use to test things) and just giving good, but uninformative small talk.

    • There's no turrets in console version of To Hell with Honor because of performance issues.
      • There are other changes as well.
    • Mike would like to see borg dreadnought with alliance shield.
    • Mike is working on acquiring canon colours for alliance uniform.
    • Kael in PvP: "YOU ARE DEFEATED". Enemies were spawn camping.
      • "Our game is not balanced for PvP. At all." They are aware that it's a problem, and would love to do anything about it, but don't see good solutions.
      • They're considering instead of allowing players to fly their own ships instead giving us premade ones, so that there are some balance.
    • Kael in PvE: "YOU ARE DEFEATED". Bugs were everywhere.
    • There are no plans about making full levelling experience for Jem'Hadar, they're meant to be "elite".
    • Work on Picard uniform is at "photo reference" stage right now, with no hurry.
      • Alliance uniform took precedence.
    • There's some surprise for us in immediate future.
    • That was the first time Mike had to fight in Bug Hunt, as opposed to enemies dying from slightest push and Queen melting in ten seconds.

    Visual clutter petition

    Posted: 04 Jun 2020 09:59 AM PDT

    Hi guys so I know the devs are aware of the amount of visual clutter during space battles in particular but applying to ground battles too. I was wondering if we could start a petition to make some suggestions on how to fix this and to get the devs to notice it more and hopefully take action. I think a great idea would be for the devs to introduce a toggle in the options menu that allows thing like ( boff abilities, captain abilities etc) to be displayed in a small corner of the screen. Instead of having loads of icons hovering over your ship and turning it loads of different colours. Much like the pc players to when the icons for the abilities overlap and hover below a players reticle. Instead of being placed on the actual ship model itself. Also not sure if it's just me but seeing all these crazy symbols flashing all over my ship and my screen really damages the believability of the fact your actually fighting a space battle. Especially now the devs are putting out much higher content e.g better ship visuals, better cutscenes etc. I love the idea of just seeing your ship firing it's full Payload of weapons without all these colour and symbols ruining it. Would make it so much more realistic. Let's see if we can get the devs attention and get this to work🖖🏼 u/ambassadorkael

    To Hell With Honor is RIGHT!!!!

    Posted: 03 Jun 2020 04:00 PM PDT

    Let me start this off by saying, I ran this yesterday with my Beam boat cruiser and escort at lvl 65 with no trouble. Pacing was good, didnt get disabled, enjoyed the change up, thought there was one too many sites to go to, but over all, I enjoyed it.

    But TODAY.....

    Got queued into a lvl 65 run with my escort and 4 others....oh HELL...it was not pretty. I stopped keeping track of how many times I got blown up after the 5th or so. I dont know what happened, but we were just throwing ourselves at them and getting blown up LEFT and RIGHT! At one point all the action was on the edge of the map RIGHT WHERE I WAS SPAWNING! The I.K.S. Lukara had us for breakfest, lunch, AND dinner! It must have taken us 30 or 40 mins before we FINALLY finished the stupid thing!

    Daily event progress was WELL earned today! Lol

    Epic win

    Posted: 03 Jun 2020 07:41 PM PDT

    After nine years of playing the game, I finally got an Epic Phoenix token. No clue what to do with it!

    I've got a TOS Fed that's set for ships. A Klingon that already has a D'Kora, a DPRM, and the Secondary Shield Projector. A new 2409 Fed that's an Intel/science combo rocking a Somerville.

    I already have the Bajoran Interceptor from the event itself, so I've got my Domino console. Is there some must-have ship for shipbuilding purposes, or should I just bank the token?

    Edit: I may use the token to get the Vorgon Ryn'Kodan for my TOS Fed, as he's a Vulcan and I always thought the Rny'Kodan looked like a Vulcan ship. Either that, or I'll give my science captain the Lukari ship.
