Star Trek Online Monday Megathread - your weekly "dumb question" thread

so i'm trying to get emergency power to shields II, bought the training manual off the exchange but apparently my engineering officer specifically requires the 23c version which i can't find and the only place i can find that should have it is K-13 but k-13 is inactive or bugged or not accessible some how?

i just want emergency power to shields II or III to use, how do i do this?

Posted: 14 Dec 2020 07:08 AM PST

Hello I'm very new to this game (saw the ad for it on the back of my star trek adventures book) and i was wondering if DSC style klingons were available? I always liked their non-human looks.

Anyone any idea why the Screenshot function doesn't work?

Posted: 14 Dec 2020 12:03 AM PST

I had to reinstall STO, first time for years (reason, it wouldn't complete a file verification).

Everything is fine except it will not take screenshots. When I press the Screenshot button, printscreen, I see a slight pause as normal, but nothing is saved. If I do it from the /screenshot command again nothing. I've checked all possible locations and gone as far as setting to RS4 and taking 500 screenshots whilst monitoring all drive capacities to ensure it wasn't being saved somewhere else, none of the drives capacity dropped by a single byte. I don't normally need to ask for help but this has me stumped.

STO YouTube Videos Question

Posted: 13 Dec 2020 12:57 PM PST

I get criticized a lot for posting my YouTube content on Reddit. I also get a lot of feedback and compliments as well. My main question is, if STO content on YouTube is as bad as the detractors say, then what kind of STO content is good for YouTube? In other words, if you were to look up STO in the search, what videos would you want to see? Some examples are:

Lore, Guides, Space Barbie, Event Reward Guides, Ship Reviews, Lockbox Openings/Reward Guides, DPS Videos, Beginner Guides

I'm sure that list could go on and on, if the topic isn't listed, I'd love to hear what you want to see. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Playable Cardassians

Posted: 13 Dec 2020 02:41 PM PST

Who here thinks that there should be a playable Cardassian faction, we have admiralty cards for them (C.U.V. Tain for example). It would be fun to be able to see what kind of storylines could develop, what ships and character designs would be created.

Need advice regarding a possible pack purchase! :)

Posted: 13 Dec 2020 01:42 PM PST

Let me preface this by saying that while I've been playing the PC version for 7 years and a few months now, this inquiry is regarding the PS4 version of the game, which I only started playing back in August(the PS4 itself was a surprise early Birthday gift, but that's another story); with that in mind....

So far I've only one character on the PS4 version, a Fed-Sci Captain who's yet to have a T6 ship for himself(but I'm working on the holiday event), and a happy turn of events has put me within striking distance of either the Federation Elite Starter Pack OR the Discovery Expedition Pack!

While both offer quite a savings, which is very important to me, as I'm fortunate to be holding down a part-time job(so naturally, choices like this have to be very carefully considered), the former would seem to make more sense; the character and his BoFFs are relatively under-geared, while the ship I'm currently using is in somewhat better shape, and the gear that comes with the package would be fantastic after some Phoenix upgrades...plus, the T6 Reliant Class is a well-balanced ship.

The latter, meanwhile, has a rather nice ship and BoFF(can the BoFF be unlocked for all factions?), but otherwise doesn't have anything of note.

Now, it's not a sure thing I'm going to get either, I'm just trying to weigh my options...; thoughts and advice are welcomed, especially if anyone can think of any other options in that price range that I might not've considered, and thanks in advance! :)
