    Suggestion to Kael for improving STO community dynamics

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 07:22 AM PDT

    This really isn't more than an ideas bucket for Kael (and others to throw into) for what can be done to improve the state of community dynamics (beyond changes we've been asking for that would require big strategic shifts by the company). Without going into a long diatribe, I think we've lost a lot over the last two years and there isn't much happening with the game that would naturally favor constructive community building.

    The one item that comes most to mind:

    1. Monthly community update blogs

    This is pretty standard and Ten Forward fills the function now, but to a restricted audience because of the long video format. We also saw that some people in the community need to have some organization/summarization tool to help plan their game time (with how the calendar's removal went). A monthly "state of the game" blog would help, IMO, on both points. For a model, check out Halo's weekly community update. Those are pretty damn elaborate but the core point here is to provide a space to address issues, summarize recent content drops, link new lore blogs, tease future releases/events, and highlight community happenings (fan art, streamers, video clips, ect.) in a way that can be posted to the launcher (and the section linked to on the landing page) and left to impact a more sizable chunk of the population.

    I know that fitting something else into Kael's work cycle is difficult, but at a monthly cycle a one page "here's what's up, here's what some of you have been up to" would go a long way IMO to buffering other destructive cycles in the community (it provides something which feels absent from the company ATM beyond Ten Foward and what Kael and other devs personally put into that).

    With that I'll let others chime in about what (at a CM/dev level) might help to build a better company-player dynamic (keeping in mind that Kael can't fix overall policy, content priority, underlying economics, world hunger, ect. That's for other discussions.)

    It's mission, to spread the word.

    Is the Battle of Caleb 4 mission supposed to lower your character level, and keep the enemies at your actual level?

    STO twitter - This Tuesday! Don't forget about a full day of Star Trek content you won't find anywhere else. Details on STO's celebration tomorrow! - Anyone else thinking that their hype is real but what we will get will just be some mediocre stuff

    Why does my loadout always says Unsaved Changes after I switch ships or loadouts? Even switching to another and then back it says Unsaved Changes...

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 07:20 AM PDT

    Never gonna happen, but a thing I'd love to see: a "unify to pets" option for vanity shields.

    Forgotten how you obtain it, but I have one and I never see it on the exchange.

    Change the music?

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 06:45 AM PDT

    Is it possible to change the music that plays in sector space? Because the Delta Quadrant music is starting to wear a little thin.

    I could turn the music down and play Spotify, but some of the other game music I like and I'd rather play that if possible.

    An idea for more TMP era ships in the game ...

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 05:32 PM PDT

    Hi,

    aside from the obvious "T6 Oberth", is there any way, Cryptic could license some old Interplay stuff for the ships like from Starfleet Command and Klingon Academy?

    They had some pretty nice TMP models for Feds, Klingons and even Romulans. I personally loved the Yamato class and the Accuser/PumwI' class dreadnought. And in case they would come up with a TMP half faction, the Okinawa class from Starfleet Command would be an ideal starter ship. ;)

    I know the models would need to be entirely recreated for that because those games didn't age well.

    Faction Reputations

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 09:52 AM PDT

    I'm still getting the hang of things, so apologies if this is an often repeated question. I'm slowly working my way though the reputations, but realized if I do the shotgun effect and don't focus on just one I'm probably missing out on some good gear. I realized this yesterday when I got the dark matter quantum torpedoes, that there's probably some good stuff out there.

    Is there one faction that I should be focusing on? My primary ship is a promethius class, my focus is engineering, and I'm L65.

    Thanks!

    Can visual effects density be turned down?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 06:55 PM PDT

    The weather control vessel's new console. Throws ships everywhere and I can't see much. When someone in a team uses it, I move to a different area of the TFO if possible. They can clean up their own mess.

    Some of the risian kits have visual effects that are too dense and its difficult to see much. I like the kits, but I'd rather turn down the effects. I believe sandstorm generator is the one I'm thinking of. And hurricane turret. They are pretty, but I'd prefer to tone down the effects some if there's a setting that would work.

    So a question, CAN I turned down the effects? I know I can reduce the quality, but I'm not sure if that would reduce the effects, or make them easier to see through.

    "Visual Fx Quality" is the setting I'm referring to.
    I just tested it on ground and the FX are still hard to see through.
    None of the settings I've changed seem to help with that.

    And I'm still annoyed when people use Delayed Overload Cascade, but can't change that in my options unfortunately. I'm not chasing that mess you made.

    Hey better pic this time I think but anyway any comments will help not exactly sure what to put on here besides these. I'm pretty sure my engineering needs alot of work but not sure what to do. Thanks in advance.

    Question about hangar pet synergy

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 08:37 AM PDT

    Noob question, I am afraid and haven't been able to find the answer. Does the consoles on my ship synergise with pets ie so I am currently running ba'ul ap and have timeships so would my ap consoles be boosting them in any way? I am also planning to use the crystalline ap ba which can debuff for energy damage and is doubled for ap. Is that worth using alongside my pets to help tjem take out targets quicker when it procs.

    As I have the ba'ul set from the lobi store would that beam have the potential to chain proc?

    And finally how would the chain work alongside then ap dbb from the nukara rep which also chains? I currently have 5 ba'ul dbb fore

    Apologies for the questions, answers would be appreciated

    Amazing how it only takes 48 hours for a big controversy to completely disappear

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 07:45 PM PDT

    2 days ago the front page of the sub was in an uproar (fairly) about the Inquiry being put in a box despite being a completely normal fed ship. 2 days later, it's all gone! Kind of amazing, isn't it?

    RRS Virinat's Pride en route for refit, what weapons will the engineers be installing: Disruptors, Romulan Plasma, or something else? Currently assimilated plasma DBB, but I'm not married to it or beams.
