    It may be hated, but the design effort is amazing.

    CMV: you should be able to access tailor options onboard your ship.

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 07:26 AM PDT

    Uniform customization, obviously, not ship. But shouldn't you be able to go to your Ready Room or Quarters for a quick change of uniform when necessary?

    Why are Borg Cubes such pushovers?

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 04:54 AM PDT

    In Star Trek there are few foes more uniform-wettingly formidable than a Borg Cube. A gigantic space craft capable of destroying fleets, and laying waste to whole planets. The sighting of any ship with any more that five right angles sends Starfleet into a frenzy.

    Yet in STO they're just big square punching bags. If you're in a TFO, and a Cube shows up you need to fly full steam in it's direction if you're even going to get a shot in before it's destroyed. Even in the Federation tutorial mission you take out a Cube with a ship from a class that's almost 150 years old!

    Why are they so weak, and don't you think it'd be much better if they were presented as an enemy worth worrying about? I know TFOs devolve into weapon and ability spam, and there's always one Min/max player who blows everything up with their ultra mega beam, but I think STO does a disservice to the Borg.

    Something I'd like them to add

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 07:54 AM PDT

    Given that Criptic have released 22nd century weapons to the lobi store I'd really like for the NX bridge to complete my characters motif.

    Also Enterprise's finale uniforms with the starfleet patch on the right arm and epaulettes.

    Updated STODemoLauncher for House Shattered (and beyond!)

    Posted: 18 Oct 2020 10:25 PM PDT

    House Shattered changed how demos are formatted which broke STODemoLauncher. It had to be fixed, and thus it was done. If you downloaded the fixed version I put out last week, this fixes the problem where old demos don't show up - so no need to have two versions of it!

    The original creator of it, rachelgarrett, went MIA a few years back so I've more or less taken over the project, so I'll continue to make sure it works and all. Can't promise more than that because I have no idea what I'm doing but Working is good.

    Anyway, tl;dr on what it does:

    The PC version of STO has a feature called demorecord, which lets you create a recording of gameplay and play it back. The demo system is how most of the pretty screenshots/videos you see are made, so... pretty cool.

    The demolauncher makes it easier to, y'know, launch them. It also includes some tools for editing demos, like removing visual clutter and what not.

    ps. for more on taking pretty screenshots: This post by the STO dev Thomas Marrone has a bunch of good info. I'd also highly recommend the excellent guide rurinnfane put together, which might be the single most in-depth piece for taking good screenshots

    T6 Infinity Prices

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 01:36 AM PDT

    These are getting insanely high, game needs a really long good key sale or cryptic need to up the odds of the drops.

    850-900 MIL per ship is just too much, I will just end up leaving, would like to try out a few things, but I am not paying that price, especially when the majority of the time it is just for a trait or console, how long before promo prices?, and the dilex also stubbornly high, the game is becoming not worth the effort.

    Has anyone found a workaround for the BOFF customization bug?

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 06:30 AM PDT

    Right now, some of your bridge officer uniforms can't be saved when you change them - they will revert to whatever they had on before.

    I've attempted to swap out my away team boffs to get the characters I need to edit out and replace them to see if it had any effect, but there is none that I can tell.

    Has anyone had any luck with this? Thank you in advance.

    EDIT - Solved by /u/Randomgirl42's comment

    Terran Empire Hull Markings? (Red And Yellow)

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 04:48 AM PDT

    Why do some Terran Empire ships you encounter have red markings while others such as the ship on the Tholian planet and a lot of the player mirror ships have yellow markings? Are there factions within the Terran Empire?

    Ship Request: Promelian Battlecruiser

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 05:37 AM PDT

    Ship Request: Promelian Battlecruiser

    This ship was the centerpiece for the TNG Episode: Booby Trap, where picard found it trapped in a field of aceton assimilators. I would definitely open a few lockboxes for one. Or at least, can Cryptic make an episode where you discover one floating in space.

    What sector did the latest lower decks episode take place in?

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 06:04 AM PDT

    The people at cryptic said they added a new Easter egg. I'm wondering where the episode took place so it would be easier to find the Easter egg.

    Amazing LED displays very cool Starship.

    The time has come, I have 5 Fleet Ship modules, which Federation ship should I get?

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 04:54 AM PDT

    I am a max level Engy - pretty heavily investigated in the endgame and replaying the story missions (because I couldn't get enough of lower decks). I am also a self-confessed Federation fanboy, I usually use the Fleet Tier 6 Recon Destroyer and I have lots of great beams and torps to use on a new ship, anything good worth getting? please send suggestions!

    Copy and pasting STO chat log

    Since the last patch this appears to be slightly bugged. It is cutting off characters and spaces.

    Reputation deflector recommendations

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 02:50 AM PDT

    What reputation deflector would you recommend or any deflector while on the subject as the fleet I'm part of still has a way to go to level up for the colony deflector which have been told is the best one's

    Is there a way to counter-act those annoying wires the Borg fire at you that pin you to a certain spot on the ground and restrict your movement?

    Question about Caition's

    Posted: 18 Oct 2020 11:07 PM PDT

    Okay so I've seen a few players running around as either humans or aliens with a caition tail. I don't see a option for it on my human or alien character. Is it like a lobi item or etc?
