    Request To Devs - Dont let us down with weak stats on these carriers!

    As a carrier captain I really hope they dont let us down with weak stats on these 4 ships, they look amazing but i hope thats not all they will be! I hope the T6 Atrox will have full spec Intel seating considering that the escort has intel I would imagine it should follow along the same lines. They should add a 3rd hanger bay really to all original carriers in game or for science based ones add a secondary defelctor, also they should make the hull mods and shield mods good as the movement is so slow they should be able to tank extremley well. Have at least Lt Cmd tac station as really a Lt tac station is so weak nowadays or have some uni stations in there, also please dont just think of pve designed builds also pvp these ships should be battle stations that need alot to be taken down.

    Anyways this is my own personal opinion I am sure they will be great lol

    Sol System...an idea

    Posted: 13 Jul 2020 07:19 AM PDT

    I wish the Sol System in-game was much, much larger...an actual representation of our solar system. I love the imagining of space in the game, but our solar system is actually real, we have many detailed images of most of our planets IRL, and it's beautiful, humbling and inspiring. It would be awesome to be able tour our solar system in-game. The system itself would be accessible by all factions (just restrict docking permissions to non-aligned characters).

    I can't get the 20 yr anniversary pack anymore...

    Posted: 13 Jul 2020 03:42 AM PDT

    I got it on three characters but now, whenever I try to take it, it won't let me. Any ideas why or how to fix it? Was it somehow limited? I really wanted the Vanity shield for my Disco toon, and the description said it was available for the whole account.

    Big crowd on Risa!

    Posted: 12 Jul 2020 06:47 PM PDT

    So I've started in the habit of heading to Risa when I want to leave the game on, but have something else to work on. (Like reddit for instance)

    Anyway I'm there hanging out tonight. Folding laundry, cleaning, nothing major. But so far at least 6 other folks have come by. Some on their floaters, others walking, others on powerboards.

    I dunno. Guess I'm not the only one who likes to spend some quiet time here. Just thought I'd share. It's pretty chill, tbh.

    So I finally comissioned my Kobiyashi Maru and saw the default power settings... Very funny Cryptic.

    Can we get all the options for Fed Klingons? I mean, we paid zen for it.

    The Priors World console - Is it any good?

    Posted: 13 Jul 2020 05:27 AM PDT

    The passive is very neat, the active looks okay, but I don't know if there's better substitute with equal or lower price, since this one would be account unlock. Any suggestions?

    'Wrath of Khan' Outfit Claim for Console Solution FOUND?

    Posted: 13 Jul 2020 08:34 AM PDT

    So... I decided to put a ticket in for the Khan outfit that console players were meant to get for connecting their Arc accounts with the console version of the game. However, due to some weird bug majority of players were not able to claim the outfit at all. (I am talking about Khan's outfit from WOK and not the awesome Starfleet Uniform from the film which XBOX players don't have access to).

    Anyway! I received a speedy response from STO support who gave me this hopeful response:

    ' I apologize for the delayed response due to the high volume of tickets in our queue. I understand that you are unable to access the outfit rewards for linking your accounts. Upon further review, I see that we have received similar reports from other affected players. Our development team is aware of the issue and working on a fix. When we have more information about this issue we will be sure to let the community know through our official news page and forums.'

    So... in the near future, we may see a fix after all!

    In the e-mail, I also cheekily asked whether XBOX players could get there hands on the WoK Starfleet uniform too, to which I received this response.

    'We apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused. Any fixes that will be implemented in-game will be released in a future update and information will be available in the patch notes posted in both the official game page and forums.'

    Fingers crossed!

    Are there any TNG-era disruptor rifle models in the game which resemble Romulan weapons?

    My Thoughts on Carriers

    Posted: 12 Jul 2020 06:08 PM PDT

    As the title says, this is just my thoughts on carriers and feel free to share your own, but for a while now, I've felt that carriers have kind have been left behind, at least for me, with flight deck carriers boasting 2 hanger bays as well, and having 8 weapon slots compared to the carriers typical 6, I will admit, carriers have a more science orientation, but I still feel that carriers should also boast more of an appeal to those who want to be carriers. Once again, just my thoughts and would like to hear yours.

    Ba'ul Vanity vs. Section 31 Vanity - Which is Better?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2020 02:16 PM PDT

    Ba'ul Vanity vs. Section 31 Vanity - Which is Better?

    Hello! In this post I'll be sharing my opinion on the new vanity shield, the Ba'ul Vanity Shield! I'll be comparing it with the older vanity shield that looks a lot like it - the Section 31 Vanity Shield!

    Keep in mind, this is only my opinion and I know not everybody shares the same opinion as me.

    I'll go straight to the point; I personally prefer the Section 31 Vanity Shield over the Ba'ul Vanity Shield. Here's why:

    1. Darkness

    The Section 31 Vanity Shield is not that hard to see. It's dark, but not too dark. The Ba'ul Vanity Shield, on the other hand, honestly looks like a flying shadow of a ship. Won't lie. It's a little harder to see the detail in the ship and it easily blends in with the background if there's a lot behind it, unless the light is reflecting directly off of the hull.

    Section 31 Vanity Shield. Image taken by me. You can see how the Section 31 Vanity Shield looks a little greyer and stands out from the background a little more.

    1. Material

    The second reason why I still prefer the Section 31 Vanity Shield over the Ba'ul Vanity Shield is because of the way light reflects off the material. When the light reflects off of the Section 31 shield, it looks like a hard, reflective material. When the light reflects off of the Ba'ul material, to me it mostly makes it look like the ship is a 3D printed, plastic toy.

    1. Lights

    Now for this, I could be mistaken because the person might have had their bloom on low, but I personally find the lights on the Section 31 Vanity Shield more visually pleasing than on the Ba'ul Vanity Shield. The Section 31 blue is more vibrant and glowy. The Ba'ul blue is lighter and barely glows.

    That about sums up why I still prefer the Section 31 Vanity Shield over the Ba'ul Vanity Shield. The Section 31 Vanity Shield is my absolute favourite vanity shield. Overall, I still think both vanity shields are beautiful! Nice job, Cryptic!

    Can the railgun still be obtained from the legendary nx after the patch? If bought after.

    Fleet Help

    Posted: 13 Jul 2020 05:42 AM PDT

    So I was able to join a fleet. Now what?

    I go to the star base and do the little side missions there and contribute resources for fleet credits, but that doesn't seem like a lot. Am I supposed to be doing something else to advance in that system?

    What about a “model viewer”, in lieu of HUDless screengrabs?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2020 03:57 PM PDT

    The mechanics are there - we can zoom in & out and rotate the models (bug not feature…not that I'm complaining) at Lieutenant Get-A-Ship [right stick forward/backward/left/right then changing variants or ship].

    Previously, it would zoom while we scrolled through the text box, now it's the "hold and change".

    Since we can't do HUDless screenshots, and the mechanics are already present in the game, likely due to a weird coding thing, could us console folks get at least a zoom function in Customization, if not also a model viewer of the same nature in Lieutenant Get-A-Ship's menu?

    I know it's easier said than done, but it's just a little QOL thing that could be fun, and would allow for deeper admiration of the fine detail - greebles and all - that the modelers put into the ships.

    A question, if you will....

    Posted: 13 Jul 2020 06:21 AM PDT

    Does the concept art for that new Caitian Carrier remind anyone of a certain ship or franchise? It reminds me of something, I can't figure out what though. It doesn't give me Covenant like the Atrox. Closest thing I can think of would be a Vossk/Nivelian Ship from Galaxy on Fire, but even that's stretching it.

    Problem completing Federation Tutorial: Send Distress Signal

    Posted: 12 Jul 2020 10:38 PM PDT

    I'm playing through the Federation Tutorial on Xbox. I've Destroyed three Jamming Satellites, now I'm supposed to Send Distress Signal. I can't seem to figure out what button to press or what menu to access. Anyone mind to point me in the right direction?

    What's the least distracting, most unobtrusive experimental weapon?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2020 09:31 PM PDT

    I tend to lean towards canon builds for my ships, and nothing breaks immersion more than those loud, flashy lightning bolts shooting from my ship. Which experimental weapon is the least distracting, and if the answer is none of them, would I be gimping DPS too much by just leaving that slot empty?
