    FYI - C-Store Targ pet's price was altered

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 10:19 PM PST

    It's not a huge change, but I just thought that their ninja-edits deserved to be noticed.

    A week ago, the announcement page said this:

    Beginning on November 12th, 2020, captains on PC will have the opportunity to purchase this hot new Combat Pet from the Zen Store for the price of 400 Zen. And if you act quickly you can purchase this 20% off (total price of 320 Zen) during its special introductory period, for the first 5 days it is available.

    Today, it says this:

    Beginning on November 12th, 2020, captains on PC will have the opportunity to purchase this hot new Combat Pet from the Zen Store for the price of 800 Zen. And if you act quickly you can purchase this 50% off (total price of 400 Zen) during its special introductory period, from 11/12-12/3.

    tl;dr: Introductory price raised by a bit. Introductory period extended by a lot. Non-sale price doubled (granted, "doubled" is only $4 different).

    Ten Forward Weekly 11.11.2020: Legendary Walker

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 07:11 PM PST

    Links: Twitch, Facebook

    ​

    Theme: Legendary Walker Texas Ranger (sic!)

    Guests: Lead Ship and UI Artist Thomas Marrone and Systems Designer Jeremy Randall

    ​

    Thomas and Jeremy were featuring nice quarantine peards.

    Also, Thomas was wearing Homeworld shirt! *Squeal of happiness*

    ​

    • Romulan bundle was a success as many people used it, so Cryptic decided to do it for DIS.
      • To specify: they talked about people using the romulan captain boost.
      • They also wanted to make the 2411 Shenzou, which was kinda of hero ship, even is for short time, and old T4 weren't fitting for it.
    • Due to some internal miscommunication ship's lore backstory was thrown together by Mike relatively last second.
    • Thomas learned his basics while modding the Homeworld and Jeremy while modding the Neverwinter Nights.
    • From design standpoint Shenzou and Sheppard is basically same design upside-down.
      • Thomas argued that kitbashing is actually pretty realistic way to design things, even though he don't like the word itself.
      • Because of that he deliberately decided to reuse some details from Gagarin.
    • They don't plan to change the bundle, but upon seeing unexpected (for them) interest in holoboffs it's likely they will make some alternative way of distributing those boffs.
    • Ground loadouts are technically troubling for now and aren't in foreseeable future.
    • Original Walker's console is emergency escape ability.
    • Klingon legendary bundle would likely come when Year of Klingon is close to end so that player who starts new KDF character can experience whole KDF content reworked.
    • Warp-out and beaming animations were initially hard-wired to be one per faction and warps had to have same sounds, so while they want to make them dependent on ship or even fully customizable, they weren't able to for now.
    • Cryptic team wishes they could do hilarious useless items, particular Lower Decks ones, but they can't do things just for the art.

    A random idea: a one day, any ship sale

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 02:57 PM PST

    The ultimate Black Friday deal. 5000 zen buys you an item redeemable for one promo choice box, one infinity choice box, or one epic token, one legendary ship (ship only), or even two T6 tokens. Limit one per account. Let every captain realize their dream, in one day only.

    That idea is free Cryptic, all yours.

    Can we get Octopus Head as a boff?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 11:09 PM PST

    This must be the dumbest reason to get multiple AFK penalties. So of course, it's mine.

    Can't download STO

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 05:40 AM PST

    I'm trying to download Star Trek online for the first time. However, when I try to play the game I'm required to download a patch and when I try to download it, it says I don't have enough space to download the patch, even though I have more than enough space to download STO. Is there any solutions to this? I'm on PC btw.

    Feature Request with Uniforms

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 12:35 PM PST

    I would like to request a minor feature with uniforms, that all editable bridge officers have access to the faction specific uniforms of whatever faction the character they are a boff of is.

    Recently, Romulan and Dominion toons have been given access to the uniforms of their allied factions as well as their own unique faction specific uniforms, so it's possible to do it. I would like to see this as a feature for all editable boffs, why can't my Gorn, Orion or Romulan boff put on a starfleet uniform when serving on a starfleet vessel, why can't I have Trill or Ferengi in Klingon uniforms or a Vulcan and Alien serving in the Romulan Republic?

    Request: Weapon sets with versions for alternate visuals.

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 04:49 PM PST

    This post is heavily edited to hopefully eliminate confusion and will continue to be edited as necessary:

    I believe it was an STO dev who said that "Itemization is the lifeblood of MMO's."

    I am requesting NEW weapons.

    Not "weapon skins" or "vanity weapon slots."

    These would be versions of existing set weapons that are still the same energy type they have always been, but with different visuals available for that energy type. For example:

    Terran Task Force Phaser Array: Discovery Type

    Terran Task Force Phaser Array: Pulsed Phaser Type

    Terran Task Force Phaser Array: 23c. Type.

    Terran Task Force Phaser Array: Kelvin Timeline Type

    Etc.

    They would still count toward set bonuses.

    You can still equip only one, no 5 Terran phaser arrays with different visuals.

    I am not requesting visual skins that can be applied to existing weapons we already own.

    I am not requesting visual skins to make one energy type look like another. For example: I do NOT wish to make antiproton weapons look like discovery phasers or vice versa.

    We would need to purchase these new items from rep projects or earn them from the episodes that give them and upgrade and reengineer them in addition to the ones we already have because they would be new, separate items that just look different when firing.

    ​

    Purpose:

    This would allow us to better create the standardization of weapon visuals that many have requested in the form of "vanity weapon slots."

    I, like many others, find it visually jarring for most of my weapons to be discovery blue bolt phasers with a few orange "modern" phasers mixed in from the Terran phaser and Trilithium Enhanced omni.

    Or to have a TNG-Voyager era ship firing mostly orange beams but having discovery rep blue bolt wide dual beam banks.

    Or to have all my Klingon's disruptors be standard green only to have one red Terran disruptor array.

    Or for my Jem'hadar to have all polarons be purple except a few green piezo ones or chroniton ones, etc.

    The devs said that vanity weapon slots are too technically complex to implement in the near/foreseeable future.

    With itemization being the lifeblood of MMO's, it is my hope that the devs would see the value of adding these new weapons so players would re-run "Beyond the Nexus" over and over so they can get a Trilithium Enhanced version of all the flavors of phaser they use.

    The value of adding 5 different visual variants of the Terran phaser array from the rep projects.

    I am not a game designer or a programmer, so I can't properly know what all goes into it. But I would *hope* that this process would simply be a bunch of copy and paste of the exact same weapon code just with a copy paste of a different weapon firing visual and a rename of say "23c. Trilithium Enhanced Phaser." (TOS blue) "Discovery Trilithium Enhanced Phaser." "Pulse Trilithium Enhanced Phaser." etc.

    At the bare minimum, I would like to request that all set weapons come in two visual variants. The unique version they have been launched as/continue to be, and a "standardized" one that looks like standard weapons of that energy type.

    In this "minimum" version, there would be no other versions of the Trilithium Enhanced Omni-Phaser because it is already "standard" orange, but the discovery rep wide angle phaser would come in both discovery blue bolts and standard orange dual beam visual variants.

    The quantum-phase phaser would have the blue version it launched as and an orange standard version.

    The Terran disruptor would have the red launch version and a standard green. etc.

    Thanks so much for your time and consideration. Hopefully a dev will see this... and even more hopefully... make it so. ^^

    P.S. I would also very much appreciate, if a dev sees this, chiming in about how feasible this is. Sometimes we just can't have nice things and that's that, but I think it helps to know *why* we can't have nice things. Thank you. :)
