    At long last, the Tzenkethi Vanity Shield is finally mine...

    I just put out a bonus episode of Ship-Talking that has expanded clips with STO's Thomas Marrone, Nick Duguid, Donny Versiga and all the special guests we had since October (Rick Sternbach, Doug Drexler, etc.). Also includes a brand-new Trek-themed Christmas song xD

    On The Tailor Bug

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 07:38 AM PST

    The current issues with the tailor have been something I was largely ignorant of until today - principally because it's been months since I did any significant space Barbie. But, upon deciding to alter the composition of my main character's away team - thereby necessitating putting the new away team BOff in uniform - I finally encountered the issue.

    But I've also been a Tribblenaut for a long, long time - I tested Season 4 on Tribble, and every other season and expansion up to and including Victory is Life. And I do like me some space Barbie. So I set aside the dicking about I was going to do, and decided to try and do some science to this problem.

    After testing a failed theory as to what was causing the bug... I noticed something. Occasionally, the list of BOffs in the Tailor... would flicker. Instead of displaying the normal list of BOffs... it instead displayed a much shorter list. Once I noticed that - and managed to screenshot the shortened list - I tested for a trend... and found two.

    The core of the tailor bug seems to be, at least for me, that some BOffs cannot be edited. When hitting Purchase, the game spits out the error "You cannot change the species of the character". The first trend I found was that the list flickered in predictable, even intervals - somewhere between 10.5 and 11 seconds apart. The second trend I noticed... is that the BOffs on the shortened list were also the only BOffs that were not affected by the bug, and could be freely edited at any time. All attempts to alter which BOffs appeared on that list (renaming the costume, renaming the BOff, commissioning a new BOff, discharging a BOff, exiting to character select, actually switching characters, logging out, and completely closing and reopening the game) failed. But I also noticed that the full, original list didn't load instantly, and would instead wind up looking like this for a split second. I tried a Hail Mary... and it worked.

    If you manage to click Modify while having a BOff selected that would normally trigger the change species error just as the list reloads, when it looks like it does in that last screenshot... if you time it right, you can successfully purchase whatever changes you make to that BOff. It's tricky to get right, the timing is annoyingly precise... but once you get it to open, there doesn't seem to be a limit to the time you have to make changes.

    I haven't the faintest or the foggiest if this information is helpful, or even relevant, but it's what I've been able to observe. Here's hoping it helps.

    EDIT #1: After suggestions by u/Shadow_Pilot and u/DanielFerreiraJorge, I tested the hypothesis that the short list was related to ground away teams. And that does seem to at least partially be the case - in accordance with the know workaround for this issue, adding a BOff to the away team and then relogging did replace the BOff on the short list. However, it should be noted that the short list is more than four BOffs - and in the case of this character at least, one of the BOffs on it (Elisa Flores, a BOff that didn't exist when the character was created - this is my 10-year-old main, I claimed Flores after she was made retroactively available and haven't so much as promoted her) has never been on an away team on this character.

    Additionally, with the assistance of a friend and fellow idiot, I was able to determine that the BOff list flicker seems to coincide with a server tick, because it invariably occurs within a second margin of error of the ten-second marks on the Endeavor reset clocks. This leads me to believe that the error is being caused by a backside server check that isn't always being done as it should, and is actually only happening at the moment during those server ticks.

    Found this badass looking bird of prey inspired carrier hanging out on Qo'noS which carries birds of prey. I decided to join in with my own.

    What's the chances a Mudd's bundle could include a 'lockbox token' in 2021 for a choice of any infinity lockbox ship?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2020 08:39 AM PST

    Would love to get a Mirror Warship, but the trait is so good across loads of builds, so I want it more than once.

    So I've not bought it already, in the hope that some form of account wide option will become a possibility in 2021.

    Wishful thinking?

    As the title says, I love the Columbia skin and as space Barrie is all does the Muds NX unlock the Columbia skin? Thanks all

    Terran Task Force space weapons

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 05:54 PM PST

    Some people have commented that the Terran Task Force Phaser Beam Array is a fantastic weapon. Others have noted the Terran Task Force Phaser Dual Heavy Cannon is a great weapon, too. It seems BOTH can be equipped AT THE SAME TIME. Usually people say go with one weapon type and avoid mixing and matching. But since both of these weapons deal increasing damage as enemy hull's decrease, is it worth equipping both at the same time in this case?

    Cutscenes that involve your ship

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 06:59 PM PST

    I want to make a video of my ship in various scenarios, and I am trying to get a list of all the cutscenes where you see your ship.

    All I can think of offhand is: Azure Rescue; Time and Tide arc where you are chasing, and the Iconian arc where everyone warps together.

    Any other cutscenes that involve the player ship?

    mk XV epics

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 09:50 PM PST

    Apologies for the stupid question, but does anyone actually buy these on the exchange? They seem prohibitively expensive. I get that it's because they're prohibitively hard to make/get, but still. Have any of you ever bought one?

    so, this is the Dilithium sink we needed?

    It is not just another - help me choose a T6 Ship - post ;) (not really :) )

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 04:04 PM PST

    Our fleet held a raffle and unexpectedly for myself - I won a Free T6 Ship coupon. It will be my first real T6 (I know, I know - I have one -> Risa Weather Control Science Ship) but real real from Zen store!
    My "main" captain is an Engineer and I like her "oh $hit" button (miraculous repairs) but she lacks a bit (BIG bit) in a dmg department. She is awesome on the ground - drones, turrets and can easily punch through everything.
    My Tactical Captain seems to be straightforward "pew pew and pew again" type and it seems to be talking to me a bit more in Space than Engineer. Her ground skills are ... just more pew pew.
    I also have a Science captain but ... I just do not feel it - she is neither good in space nor on the ground. Nada. I do not feel "their space magicka"
    That said - I have no idea what ship should I pick :
    - should it be the new Titan as it can transform from Science to Tactical ship - but then - I do not think I need a Science ship at all currently. So where is my gain?
    - should I pursue Buran - seems to be allrounder with a pet hangar and some good traits and a good base for beam build (4/4 and very stiff)
    - should I pick Arbiter Battlecruiser - 5/3 so seems like a good pick for a gun boat? has an ablative console but its turn rate is set at 9 - so how to cope with narrowly aiming cannons?
    - should it be a swarm boat (carrier) - if so which one? I think those allow for a lot of errors as drones/fighters/whatever is being launched from their bays - eat enemies

    I still have circa about 80% of the game to discover (aka missions) - as I did 3 full first chains on my TOS main and a few here and there to get some sets - so I plan on playing solo mostly to complete everything. I will fly TFOS and do events along the way.
    But I need to have a sure foothold. Something that will carry me through most (if not all) scenarios.

    What is your opinion? What would you pick if you had to pick just one ship and rely on it to hook you up to the game?

    Away team Groups-A would be handy added feature

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 01:55 PM PST

    It would be nice if we could set up away team groups and just pick from that group of who we want on the away teams. Like...give me the antiborg guys, or the plasma guys when I need plasma damage, etc. It would be nice to only ever have to group them once and then stop remembering who has what weapon to do what thing with every time. Just a thought from a poor ol' Starfleet so and so whos down on his luck at the dabo table.

    Am I overlooking the "ready room" on the T6 Titan?

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 02:19 PM PST

    Trying to do the Tal Shiar files, and can't seem to locate the ready room. I found a "choose small ship", found "account bank", and found a non-functioning turbolift...but no ready room.
