    Star Trek Online [Tested and Confirmed] Advanced Phasers NERFED.

    [Tested and Confirmed] Advanced Phasers NERFED.

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 06:28 AM PDT

    EDIT: So apparently it is a bug, not a intended nerf, sorry guys, and looking forward to a patch.

    Above link is the test results.

    So let me explain what this is all about:

    A few days ago, someone made a post about text change in Advanced Phaser descriptions:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/javdeq/advanced_phasersdisruptors_nerfed_again/

    And today I did some test to find out if this was a text error or silent nerf. Spoiler alert, it's a nerf.

    Backgrounds:

    The Adv. Phaser's Proc was 5% chance to increase critical severity of all Adv. Phasers, and the number scales with how many of them you equiped, from 10% when you have 1, up to 60% when you have 6 of them, meaning 5% chance to +60% CritD, making them one of the best phasers. (it was even OPer at initial launch, having Cat2 instead of CritD, but that was a relatively fair nerf.)

    What about now?

    Now, instead of up to 60% CritD, you get 20% max. The text is somewhat strange: The number doesn't scale with how many Adv. Phasers you equiped. Instead, when you only put them in fore/aft slots, it shows 10% even for 5 beams, and when you put them both fore and aft, even 2 beams will show 20%.

    How was the test conducted?

    I went to Tribble, removing everything, and thanks to the free respec from skill tree bug, every skill points and traits are also removed, giving me a clean environment. Then I just put different numbers of Adv. Phasers on my ship, but only fire one of them at the dummy, and manually record the numbers. Initially I wanted to take 10 samples but they take forever to proc, so I went down to 5 samples (pls don't judge :/). Also I only have 5 of them on me and am too lazy to reclaim the ship so 5 it is, not 6.

    Conclusion

    Nerfed, at 20% max CritD boost.

    The rest may have some deviation due to 20% and 10% are pretty close. But max 20% is the only thing you need to know.

    I do have certain words I want to address Cryptic, but I tend to be mutual and polite here.

    Any ideas/feelings/suggestions/flaws you found, is welcomed here.

    My flagship over Bajor. Simple but beautiful ship.

    STO used to be like this: "Thanks for participating, here's 60 free lobi and 100% more dl on all things this weekend"

    STO Devs, can you at least acknowledge you are aware of Kobali?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 05:10 AM PDT

    Specifically, the beginning of Kobali Crisis III where you can't progress the story because the capture point at the gates is broken?

    Cryptic, can you think about adding some passive bonuses to the various older ship consoles from sets, seeing as you keep expecting us to pay top dollar for the newer versions of the ships that share these sets?

    Posted: 16 Oct 2020 02:59 PM PDT

    Its all in the title really. I'm reluctant to buy the new Legendary Gal-X, even though i really like it because the console set is so dated.

    The cloaking device console alone is shared by multiple recently updated ships and has no passives. While passives aren't the be all and end all, if you want to update the ships themselves, why not update the consoles too?

    Especially when they are included with some legendary ships.

    Are there any Fed-sided hangar pets that do Disruptor damage? So I can put coalition beam to use on my Tzen-tar.

    New Thinkad Laptop - both mouse buttons don't work at same time (walking, flying, etc. in STO)

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 09:21 AM PDT

    I upgraded from a Thinkpad P50 to a Thinkpad P73, and am experiencing an issue where I can't click both mouse buttons on the trackpoint at the same time (i.e. for walking forward when it's not convenient to press the w key). This worked perfectly fine on my old laptop (the P50), so I'm hoping it's just a software setting rather than a hardware issue. Both left and right mouse clicks work fine on their own (both are moving the view)

    Has anyone else run into this problem (or something similar), and if so, how did you fix it?

    ​

    Before anyone says 'just get a USB mouse' - I don't have fingers on one hand, the trackpoint is the only way I can both press buttons with my left thumb, right hand, and still play the game. I'll be able to play with just the W key, but I had gotten into the habit of using the double-mouse click to move around when my left hand was pressing the attack buttons (my right hand otherwise would need to reach over to the w key)

    Went to edit my Valkorion today. That's a neat bug.

    Are there any cannons with beam-like visuals?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 08:59 AM PDT

    With the disco weapons, we have beams that fire bolts like cannons do. But when i think of star trek, i think of beams, not cannons, which is the primary reason i prefer beam builds over cannon builds.

    Are there any energy types or unique cannons that when fired, it looks like a beam weapon?

    Event Campaign 2 questions

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 08:53 AM PDT

    New to these Special Events and have some questions.

    1. It says Event Campaign has a total of 4 Events that will contribute to the final prize of a free T6 ship or 1,000 lobi crystals. The current Special Event, The Widening Gyre, is the one I just started. Will there be 3 other Events after the Gyre ends? Or is this the final 4th Event? If so, is there any point in my participating in the Event Campaign if I need all 4 to claim the prize?
    2. Widening Gyre only counts 1 daily task per account. I could have sworn someone on local chat was saying they had alts doing multiple tasks per day. That he already had 11/20 progress. Is this true? Do I basically just play 1 task per day till Nov 8 to finish the Gyre special event?

    Beautiful ship i think, unfortunaly a lock box ship. I think Cryptic should start to sell lock box T6 ships for limited time in Zstore for reasonable price, so people who don't have so much money to buy like 10000 keys, can still buy theyr favorite ship.

    Rank and Full Name

    Posted: 16 Oct 2020 08:46 PM PDT

    I have been playing for about 2 weeks now. I'm at level 32. My characters display name is Locke, while his full name is James William Locke. For some reason it does not show my full name or rank while i'm in space. It shows it on the ground or on Earth Spacedock. Is this normal or what? I find it somewhat infuriating. When i'm in space it just shows my display name and it says i'm a captain, but it only shows one yellow dash thing.

    Any help would be appreciated. If it's something simple, or if it's normal and i'm being a moron please let me know.

    PS4 - Trouble with “Temporal Ambassador”

    Posted: 17 Oct 2020 05:38 AM PDT

    Finally got back on the saddle with this game and made it all the way through the Iconian War arc before getting to Temporal Ambassador. Unfortunately I keep getting hit with the "Map Transfer Failed" error. I've seen others post about this problem, but has anyone solved it or at least been able to bypass the mission to carry on in other story arcs? I'd hate to be stuck here because of one lousy mission.
