    Additional Experimental Weapons Testing Results

    Posted: 10 Jan 2021 07:20 PM PST

    After seeing another thread on this and realizing that I owned all the different Experimental Weapons, I decided to at least get a few data points to help others assess which ones are worth keeping and to highlight how far behind some of the worse options are.

    Testing was done with 2 different patrols on the Live server (Trouble Over Terrh, Argala) on Advanced difficulty, as well as approximately 5 minutes with each weapon slotted vs a group of 5 Test Dummies on the Tribble test map.

    The ship I used for testing was my Khaiell-class Pilot Warbird with Ba'ul beams and Aux2Batt to manage the cooldowns, basically the same weapon setup I use on my Vaadwaur Juggernaut for tanking. All experimental weapons were upgraded to MK XV Epic and Re-Engineered to have [CrtX] [CrtD/Dm] mods.

    All data will be formatted as "A/B, % of total, Max", where A is the DPS for the Experimental Weapon in question, B is the total DPS for the run, and Max is the single largest hit. Numbers will vary slightly due to some Duty Officer buffs expiring part way through testing, but I assumed that those small stat boosts are unlikely to affect the order of the numbers. The 21 different Experimental Weapons are organized high to low in terms of % contribution for each test environment.

    Trouble Over Terrh Advanced (vs. Elachi):

    Experimental Proton Charge: 13,796/89,263 (15.5%, 129,856 Max) (65.4% listed under "Pets")

    Soliton Wave Impeller: 7,761/68,071 (11.4%, 49,931 Max)

    Phlogiston Projector: 9,936/91,049 (10.9%, 104,533 Max)

    Experimental Protomatter-Laced Sheller: 9,061/89,007 (10.2%, 49,193 Max)

    Voice of the Prophets: 6,178/81,313 (7.6%, 121,743 Max)

    Subatomic Field Disruptor: 6,637/91,344 (7.3%, 8,208 Max)

    Field-Distortion Overcharge Pulse: 6,209/86,161 (7.2%, 58,330 Max)

    Hypercharged Field Projector: 5,043/70,797 (7.1%, 31,527 Max)

    Point Defense Matrix: 5,890/85,921 (6.9%, 25,777 Max)

    Experimental "Slamshot" Magnetic Artillery: 3,881/75,131 (5.1%, 95,997 Max)

    Rapid Pulse Ablating Mining Laser: 3,974/87,137 (4.6%, 12,705 Max)

    Experimental Railgun: 2,996/66,854 (4.5%, 64,981 Max)

    Experimental Flak Shot Artillery: 3,735/82,926 (4.5%, 38,169 Max)

    Graviton Implosion Projector: 3,508/81,815 (4.3%, 91,855 Max)

    Experimental Hyperexcited Ion Stream Projector: 2,348/67,737 (3.5%, 29,044 Max)

    Organize characters

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 09:23 AM PST

    It would be nice to be able to organize your characters (or have them organized by class, then alphabetically), rather than just "the last one used goes to the top". It would make it quicker and easier to swap characters if they're listed consistently instead of constantly changing place, especially if each faction (both major and minor) has its own tab.

    One other thing would be a "Favourites" tab, where you can tag characters as a favourite and they're all grouped together (in addition to being in their faction-specific tab).

    Just a little Quality of Life thing.

    Question about trait "Invasive Control Programming" in combination with "Scramble Sensors"

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 01:34 AM PST

    According to the wiki the trait does the following...

    "When you use certain Control powers, also cause a random Subsystem Disable for 4 sec"

    It also list Scramble Sensors.

    Scramble Sensors can theoretically confuse up to 10 enemies at once.

    Does anyone know if the Subsystem Disable goes for all affected targets or just the initial?

    I sent a support ticket already, but reaching out here.

    I've played since Beta. I don't chat. I was just running through about 10 RTFOs in a row and then got forcibly kicked off and said my account was suspended.

    I literally cannot imagine why? I haven't interacted with anyone, I buy my zen through the arc store ... am I missing something? Has this happened to you?

    Help With Game Constantly Crashing

    Posted: 10 Jan 2021 09:43 PM PST

    Alright, guys, I need some help. I'm hoping some others are experiencing or have been able to fix this problem.

    Around the time Winter Wonderland started, my game started crashing frequently. For no reason that I could discern, sometimes with a crash report, and sometimes not. Sometimes after a few times of logging back in, it seemed to smooth out and I'd be fine. Over the past several weeks, with it having not gotten any better, I've begun trying to troubleshoot it. So far, no luck.

    Some background:

    There are forum threads on this issue here:

    https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline#/discussion/comment/13640936

    https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline#/discussion/1259233/game-keeps-crashing-constantly-started-yesterday-am-12-27

    https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline#/discussion/1258999/game-crash-via-sto-and-arc-lanucher

    For whatever reason, I'm one of the people that can't post on the official forums, have never been able to, so I can't join in the conversation there.

    Things I've tried:

    - Force verified files.

    - Tried the command line prompts included in the first forum thread linked above. Seemed to work the first day. Today I'm back to crashing. Also, today it seems to happen more often on map changes, though I have no idea if the two are related.

    - Tried changing antialiasing settings. Going out on a longshot, I thought maybe the game was pushing my PC too hard (unlikely), and so I tried turning that down (while still playing at Renderscale 2). No dice.

    - I've messed with various other settings here and there, to no avail.

    - I've so far held off on doing a clean reinstall based on others trying this with no resolution of the problem.

    I'm running a Ryzen 7 1700X processor, 16 gb RAM, GTX 1660 Ti. Prior to this issue, I've always run the game at max settings, Renderscale 2, 60 fps with no difficulty. I've seen no official word from Cryptic, and given the known issues with some people not being able to post on the forums, I have no idea how widespread this is.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    So is Temporal Ambassador ever going to be fixed or... ?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2021 02:14 PM PST

    I mean I think it has been long enough that it should have been fixed by now. It makes the episode entirely unplayable. It's a shame too, because it is a decent one.

    Constant crashes after years, after both(?) Dec 18 patches

    Posted: 10 Jan 2021 08:32 PM PST

    Craptic decides to use its mods to gatekeep my thread - which they hid from public view - because i said i have proof that they hate AMD. (The even hid my comments on other crash threads when i tried to make people aware of this....)

    Anyway, the following are all the copied errors and crashes from that thread I've had so far. Perhaps one of you could offer a solution.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    from the Arc thread in this section --> December 18 2020 edited December 2020 in Windows and General: PC, Network, and Other Technical Issues

    Friday i started playing again in the evening (Eastern Standard), and there were constant crashes after psending only 5 seconds in the game. (logged in dirrectly to Winter map).

    I went into my PC's Safe Mode and used Display Driver uninstaller to erase everything, and reinstall everything in Safe Mode. That didn't help.

    I even downloaded an older GPU driver. That didn't help either - from what i saw today. Friday after this whole process, I even force-checked the STO files. After that there seems to have been a second patch, unless it was the system correcting files it detected in the force-check.

    And yes, I've checked the option in STO concerning the file system or whatever it's called.

    The only other explanation is that they still have never tested the game with AMD since they always hated AMD, and only ever tested with Intel. (Yes, i have audio recordings to that effect dating back years, and even from last year where i cornered one of them in public, in case some mod wants to get arrogant and gatekeep that too). Further proof is that I've sent SMS messages to people using Intel, and they say they've never had these issues with STO - up to even yesterday.

    So the error messages I've gotten today (which were most likely the same ones on Friday) are the following:

    - 26e156

    - 26e15b

    I'd really like to know what these errors are. but that's wishful thinking since you people will never tell me. You never answered other times, so.... The only thing i can do is sit and wait, and stare at the wall, hoping it'll magically correct itself. There's absolutely ZERO chance of my system being the problem since these crashes happened even on my old AMD system.

    {EDIT Dec 21: I was just browsing through the ship vendor, and with no warning whatsoever, the program just shut down. No freezing, no pauses. It just shut down with no error as if i had clicked on the X in the window and did it myself. My patience has surpassed its limits.}

    {EDIT 1b Dec 21: I tested the above further, and it seem the c-store, while slowing down your PC as if the game is deselected, ends up closing the game when you close an IN-GAME WINDOW - seems to happen when you have ship vendor and c-store windows open. I tried this twice now. And it's not a mistake. No error or warning what so ever. The reduced CPU usage occurring with the c-store window has been going on for months.}

    {EDIT 1c Dec 21: Just now while working on a new ship, it crashed WITH an error this time. A different one than the other times:

    error code 26e8a9

    {EDIT 1d Dec 21: Crashed again right at the end of KSA. Error code: 26e906

    {EDIT 1e Dec 21: I just noticed that the previous crash caused my mastery progression to reset. All that work, with ZERO progression.}

    {EDIT 1f Dec 21 at 16:03 was in game for maybe 5-10 min. and the minute i go into KSA, the program closes without error after a few seconds. I log back in, and i have an AFK penalty.}

    {EDIT 1g Dec 21 16:12 random closure of the program with no error message}

    {EDIT 1h Dec 21 16:35 did a force check of files in Win 10 Safe Mode, and it did a patch after that. wtf...}

    seven edits so far concerning crashes....

    December 2020

    I'm uninstalling the game. But from what i can see in Programs, STO is missing from the list. So how exactly am i supposed to do a clean installation now when it's not in the list of Programs anymore, and there is no uninstall file in the directory?!

    December 2020

    So, apparently the STO i was using was through Arc. I managed to uninstall it, and am now installing the PROPER game from the original CD.

    December 2020

    "A file was open that could not be held for writing"

    That's the error message i got when reinstalling through Arc as it was trying to finish updating the launcher.

    I had to trouble shoot with a friend for HIM to tell, me, not the company!!! HIM!!! that the original CD has a 32bit launcher. How the hell am i suppose to know that they switched to 64bit?! i never saw any mention of that the past 9 years!!!

    December 2020 edited December 2020

    So far, it's been 11 hours without incident. Then again that's it was after Friday, until i started crashing again.

    Hi everyone,

    I'm looking for some friendly advice as to how much I should sell a box of 10 keys I've bought in order to buy a Crossfield-class for my DISCO character.

    There were two on the exchange at 420 million EC and I don't think anyone is going to be buying a box of 10 keys for that much haha.

    Any help and advice is appreciated!

    How to commission bridge officers?

    So I have a new ship, I have one epty slot (engineering). I have one engineering officer candidate, but when I try to commision him, I get the message "There is no room on your shuttle for no bridge officers". I want to commission an officer to a starship, not a shuttle. But I don't know how to tell it to the game.

    Here I click \"show\" (bridge officer candidates)

    After I select the officer I want, this happens

    STO Stardate calculator?

    Hello!

    I'm a pretty big roleplayer and lore fanatic, and I was just wondering if there's any resource out there that would help me with Stardates in the STO timeline. I know that generally it'll start with an 8, but the exact conversions are hard to find.

    Thank you!

    Kind of surprised the Sydney-class in the game

    Posted: 10 Jan 2021 06:12 PM PST

    *Isn't in the game.

    They were apparently pretty fast and agile ships, were of fairly significant size (Miranda-ish), and were extremely tough, with the USS Jenolan still remaining space-worthy despite crashing nose-first into a dyson sphere. Yes, the model is a retooled shuttle from the films, but it's actually a really cool shape, and very different from the saucer-based designs favored by the Federation.

    No, I don't think the Sydneys should have been given priority of most of what we have in the game now... but considering that Cryptic is kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel on canon material, maybe now is a good time?
