Star Trek Online Lootboxes in FIFA now officially classified as online gambling, banned in The Netherlands. Does Perfect World have a stance on its lootboxes and EU law on gambling?

For a while there anytime I'd use the Winamp player the game would drop to single digits until I closed it out but Synth Wave's music made me decide to try it again and it's working great now. I've been playing Bear McCreary's stuff from Battlestar Galactica and Synth Wave is much better with Prelude to War! Thanks again Cryptic!

Cryptic is now allowed to add Kelpiens to the game

Posted: 28 Oct 2020 05:47 PM PDT

Kael confirmed on the weekly stream that Cryptic are now finally allowed to add Kelpiens but I'm sure it'll be years before they're actually playable, like DIS Andorians, Klingons, and Tellarites.

Ten Forward Weekly 29.19.2020: Q&A Stream

Posted: 28 Oct 2020 06:48 PM PDT

Link: Twitch, Facebook

Theme: Q&A Stream

Guests: none

Mike had {Distant Ferengi Screaming} shirt. Awesome.

All weapons are upscaled because of how big characters could be.
No "when", but we'll eventually get new house Mo'Kai uniforms.
For "various reasons" it's unlikely that we'd get Michael Dorn for year of klingon.
- Martok, J'ula and Aakar would remain the focus.
- There would be some guest actors.
No roadmaps lately because things are too unpredictable right now and schedules keep getting shuffled.
They are working on solving bug for mirror Engle (no T6-X upgrade).
Widening Gyre on console would happen after the winter event.
There are plans for LDS content.
Anniversary update will answer some questions, but would likely also rile some people up.
Ability to change race and gender of the character - likely. Class change - unlikely. Faction change - definitely not.
Mike plans to make interview with STO streamers.
Winter ship is already modelled to some extent.
Cryptic would like CBS to have references to STO in shows, and Mike thinks that this is possible, even if it probably won't be anything major.
Mike personally likes new federation ships from DIS S3, even if some don't look too Star Trek-ish.
More hangar pet squadrons in works.
So far Cryptic is happy with how T6-X went.
Jette gave up on attempting to stream from house.
Console version would receive some more stuff from "Legendary Mirror Galaxy Dread, Mirror Connie, X Upgrade tokens" list before winter update.
Mike made sure that team knows that people want Temporal recruit rerun.
Cryptic would love to have John de Lancie, but lack storyline they feel appropriate.
Mike would make sure that team knows that Steamrunner is not available on Xbox
Mike thinks that CBS keeps an eye on STO (and books too) so to keep it at least somewhat canon and not separate "Star Trek family" and keem as many things as possible at least quasi-canon and not just wipe things off the map.
Dancing elachi are a feature, not a bug. "Because of rifts."
Mike would love to see continuation of work with Spacedock YT channel.
Mike don't know about any plans or considerations for KDF legendary bundle, but imagines that it would be smaller than Starfleet one.
Romulan embassy officers were specifically forbidden to wear Starfleet uniform by CBS back then.
Mike would ask update about orion boffs for Federation, now that Lower Decks did the thing.
Mike isn't aware why Geordi holoboff can change uniform, as general idea is that "celebrity" boffs shouldn't be customizable.
All current T5 ships should receive T6 version, sooner or later.
LDS and PIC uniforms would be put in game eventually.
More "Lobi and Promo ships" would come to Mudd's Market.
Crossovers with non-ST space games are very unlikely, this time because of PW.
Cryptic thinks about making crafting more viable.
They're still trying to make more races for DIS Starfleet.
- They can do kelpans now. Schedule issue remains.
Burnham, Stamets and Tilly won't participate in year of klingon.
There is a chance that KDF would get subfactions.

New to STO - looking for build guidance - torpedo boat ?

Posted: 29 Oct 2020 08:50 AM PDT

I just started playing STO less than a week ago. I just hit level 30 last night through story missions and started TFOs. I'm starting to think about builds but it's a little overwhelming at the moment. I have no prior knowledge of STO but I spent several years playing World of Warcraft so I vaguely know how these things generally work. Right now I'm just throwing whatever blues and purples I get from mission rewards onto my ship with very little concern for synergy. From what I've read, I *think* I ultimately want to do some kind of torpedo-heavy build but I don't know if that's something I can start working on now as I'm leveling or if I should ignore my build until I hit max level.

I have two friends who started playing a week before I did and they're at or near max level so they started asking me what (energy?) type of drops they should be sending me for my build but I don't know what to tell them.

So, I guess what I'm asking is what should I be doing build-wise between level 30 and max level that will advance me toward the goal of having a torpedo build.

Thanks

Rhode Island skin

Posted: 29 Oct 2020 06:44 AM PDT

I have the T5U Nova class and today bought the T2 Science Vessel Refit to get access to the Rhode Island skin. But the skin doesn't show up in the customization of the T5U.

When I ready the T2 it has the Rhode Island skin equipped but the skin doesn't show up in customization menu.

Is there a workaround?

My STO Personal Wishlist

Posted: 28 Oct 2020 04:46 PM PDT

Been playing ST since the launch on PS4 all those years ago now. I will say a lot of the things added i.e. ships, gear, pets and toys are a great touch in many ways. For me however I would like a few other items to round out the whole experience.

I really want the Holo-ship from Enterprise. The ability to change the outer skin for longer than an hour is long overdue.
Can we get Deanna Troi hairstyle options? We have two of hers outfits already.
Is it possible to get The Cage uniforms (with jackets) at some point? This is where it started after all.
Could the Captains Corner be moved away from ESD or at the very least have a direct beam in from sector space so that the traffic would be lessened? As it stands now the load times have tripled.
Can a captain get a working holodeck mission or two? The possibilities of actually running a Kirk mission to the past, or solving a Sherlock Holmes mission needs to be added.
Unify all the color pallets and stop the 100 different shades of blues and reds. My Wells uniform only works on my BOFFs, my main toon I have to use different pants to get colors to blend properly. You do the math on how much real money is spent for lobi to not even be able to use whole thing.
I know no one else has EVER mentioned this, so I will... Picard vest from First Contact. Open and closed versions. I know... how this never ever having been asked for all these years of gameplay.

Well, this is just a personal wishlist. Things I think about when playing, I know I've missed a ton of others. These are just ones that I think would be fun.

All the little extra areas that used to be in Delta Volanis, the Arucanis Arm... The random exploration and encounters... where are they?

Posted: 28 Oct 2020 11:05 PM PDT

Since returning from my multiple year absense, I've quite enjoyed the game, though I'm missing that one aspect, flying around, collecting R&D materials, and finding random planets.

What ever happened to those? Are they gone, or just moved?

Updated the Mirror Universe Bundle description to list that it also includes the Mirror Hakeev Duty Officer in the Zen Store.
This is a text change only.

KDF Jem'hadar cannot use the fleet starbase transwarp option.

Posted: 28 Oct 2020 09:59 PM PDT

The option to transwarp to my fleet's KDF starbase is missing from the fleet transwarp options in the A button transwarp menu. The fleet has had the transwarp option unlocked for over a year. All of the other toons in the same fleet are not missing the option from thier menu.

It is not broken for FED Jembois- only poor KDF. Anyone else experience this with thier KDF Jembois?

Playing STO through Steam vs Epic Games Launcher?

Posted: 28 Oct 2020 06:40 PM PDT

I have STO installed on Steam and have been playing it for the last two weeks. Just found out Epic Games has a nice starter package that I want to buy but, of course, you need to buy it through them.

I installed their launcher and even linked my Steam account but Epic Games' Launcher could not detect the STO version already installed on my PC. Their player support team answered my email and said basically that a version of STO needs to be installed via their launcher because any Steam purchases and progress cannot be transferred to the Epic Games' version of STO.

I find this strange since my understanding was that STO has all their info stored in their servers, so it doesn't matter where you launch the game from. It all ties back to Cryptic studios or Arcworld's servers correct?

My question is, if I buy the starter pack through Epic Games' website, I should be able to claim it via the Zen store once I log in through Steam?

Thanks in advance.
