    Hidden items, secrets, features etc. - repost for newcomers edition

    Posted: 28 Mar 2021 05:11 AM PDT

    A few years ago I've posted a thread with lesser known STO features, secrets, hidden items etc. I've decided to repost this again, since chances are there are a lot of new or returning players who may not know about some of these. Again, if you'd like to add something that's not listed, then feel free to comment:

    Admirality Cards:

    Duty Officers:

    • Rai - available in the Mine Enemy mission (requires T4 Diplomacy/Marauding for non-romulans) - https://sto.gamepedia.com/Rai
    • William Shakespeare Duty Officer - Speak with Operations Officer on your Bridge or Fleet Starbase and run a Holodeck Performance of Hamlet special assignment. Critical Success rewards the said doff. https://sto.fandom.com/wiki/William_Shakespeare
    • Rulian Mazan - easy to miss VR Doff obtainable from Assignment: Investigate Temporal Anomaly - https://sto.fandom.com/wiki/Assignment:_Investigate_Temporal_Anomaly
    • Orion/Vulcan Entertainment Hologram - can be obtained from a Critical Success on the assignment Special Deal on Entertainment Provisions (various rarities).
    • Emergency Security/Medical/Engineering Hologram - available at any time from the Replicator (your inventory) for Energy Credits. Better rarities unlock with higher ranks of the respective duty officer commendations.
    • Many other Special Duty Officers are available as rewards or random rewards from certain sector space Assignment Chains or Exploration Clusters - https://sto.fandom.com/wiki/Duty_officer/Special

    Bridge Officers:

    • Kobali Bridge Officer Candidate - obtainable in the mission Dust to Dust, during the maze segment. Not a mission reward, can be missed if not found during that section - https://sto.fandom.com/wiki/Kobali_Engineering/Command_Officer_Candidate
    • Commendation Bridge Officer - opposite faction Boff is obtainable from Jiro Sugihara after reaching Tier 4 Diplomacy/Marauding commendation.
    • Borg Science Bridge Officer Candidate - normally available as T5 Omega Reputation Project, but can ALSO be unlocked by obtaining the Assimilated Accolade - https://sto.fandom.com/wiki/Accolade/Other#Borg_Front_Accolades (During Khitomer in Statis TFO, step inside an Isolinear Molecular Reconverter (that has not been overloaded or is being overloaded).

    Item:

    • Horta Combat Pet - the very first playthrough of Mine Enemy episode unlocks the Non-Combat Horta Hatchling Pet, but the mission replay also offers Horta Mineralogy Research, that can be used to create a combat pet. Worth noting for newer players, who may not be aware some older missions unlock additional rewards upon replays.
    • Experimental Anti-Borg Device - obtainable from the Defera Invasion Zone if you start the mission Field Functionality Figures, and then drop it. The item will stay in your inventory permanently and can be used from your inventory without wasting a device slot. Note: the mission's availability is random/time-gated(?).
    • Special Tribbles - can be bred using specific items - https://sto.gamepedia.com/Guide:_Tribble_Breeding. Some not so obvious, like the Kelvin Timeline Tribble, that requires Slusho Mix - https://sto.gamepedia.com/Slusho_Mix.
    • On a second playthrough of the mission Second Wave, you can choose a set of blueprints to craft Nanoenergy Cells as the reward.
    • There is a daily mission to get Deuterium Surplus Device that boosts engine power and turn-rate by going to the Alhena System in the Eta Eridani sector block. https://sto.gamepedia.com/Deuterium_Surplus. Completing the mission also unlocks the crafting schematics for this item.
    • In the devidian arc mission where you meet Scotty, you can beam up after collecting the Nerve Tonic, equipit on the task bar and use it to perform a secret dance emote. (note: there's also a Tonic To-Go obtainable from the Bartender in that mission).

    Mission:

    Other:

    • After you reach tier four in a Commendation, you can exchange excess commendation points for fleet marks, at the Commendation Reports console, near the bank at your fleet starbase. (CosmicDave)
    • At the Exchange, in the top left corner is a button that lets you sort the Exchange different ways. Sort by "Ascending price per unit" to buy in bulk and save $$$. (CosmicDave)
    • Also tied to leveling R&D, there's a daily 10 second assignment you can complete on the Research Lab that awards a large amount of Dilithium, a sizeable chunk of R&D skill, and an assortment of relevant Rare/Very Rare materials for each of the research schools. Contact is on the side room on the right if I remember correctly. (novemberalpha1)
    • You can exchange fleet credits for common doffs at the fleet starbase if u need them for fleet projects. Same room where you turn in commendations. (skebotica)

    EDIT: Added some of the comments below and a few of my own I tend to forget about (EMH doffs).

    I'm not going to list all the unique rewards from missions. Only those that are only available as mission replays, or that are easily missable for one reason or another.

    My attempt at making a screen accurate head shape for DSC era klingon

    Add Terran marks as a reward for Pahvo Dissension??

    Posted: 28 Mar 2021 10:32 AM PDT

    Just a small request. It would be nice if we could get Terran marks added as an option for doing Pahvo Dissension, we are fighting Terrans, and I imagine most of us have tons and tons of Discovery marks, and we have only a couple of TFO's that give Terran marks. Would be nice for any of the TFO's we fight Terrans really, like Peril Over Pahvo too, but at the least Pahvo Dissension would be nice. Not a huge deal, just a thought.

    I'm sure outcome would be way different if Mariner would be there.

    This subreddit is fantastic

    Posted: 28 Mar 2021 04:18 PM PDT

    I just wanted to make a post thanking everyone who participates in this sub. It's an invaluable resource for newcomers to a decade old game. Everyone is welcoming and willing to help new captains out.

    It's a wonderful change from some of the in-game encounters we can have. As someons who's been playing on the PS4 for a year now I would've been lost and given up long before now.

    Fiery charge, your best friend for Gravity Kills

    Posted: 28 Mar 2021 06:09 AM PDT

    I got used to this console (from the Event Gok'tad),it's fun and super useful to gap huge distances.

    And it seems like, while it can be a livesaver in GK anyway, that you can't get hit during the high speed charge. Maybe you're just faster than the weapons etc...but I never got "deliver particles" chanceled during the charge.

    I keep it in my inventory for now. 😋 Even when the stats aren't to usefull outside of a Fek build.

    Ps: That's really not to talk about GK, I just wanted to share that.

    Edit: Get the particles !! 🤓

    As per requested, here's the silders for my (as close to) screen accurate DSC era klingon.

    Alien Customization Bugged?

    Posted: 28 Mar 2021 11:28 AM PDT

    I created an alien character, Romulan side, and it has been a few months since I played her and I noticed that the sliders for the head are now limited in a way normal races are. Yesterday I created an Alien on the Klingon side with her I can go crazy with the sliders. Like huge eyes or tiny, etc. The same thing have happened on an Alien character on Federation side. After some time it seems the sliders for the head and body normalizes and you can't affect the face or body like you could in the beginning.

    Orion Marauder vs Blackguard

    Posted: 28 Mar 2021 01:31 PM PDT

    Just hit Lvl 61 with my Orion and got the Marauder Carrier. Is it worth it to fully upgrade to T5U and experimental upgrade? Or save up for the T6 Blackguard?

    Casual player not to worried about DPS or having the perfect build. But would like to get through missions and the occasional patrol/TFO missions without being blown up right away.

    Is there any point in having a high refresh rate monitor for this game?

    What (if any) impact will Viacom's Stock woes have on STO?

    Posted: 28 Mar 2021 02:49 PM PDT

    For those that missed it, ViacomCBS's stock priced cratered over 50% last week. Falling from just above $100 to $47 at close Friday. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/26/business/media/viacomcbs-stock-price-viac.html

    While there is some question as to how organic a fall this is, as Hedge Fund Shenanigan's over at Goldman Sack's and Morgan Stanley seem involved, and related to something strange going on involving Chinese Tech stocks and Archegos Capital.

    It still means ViacomCBS just saw half their value wiped off their books just as they were putting out a $3 billion stock offering. That can't be good? Love or Hate the current crop of Star Trek shows the one thing you can say for them is they have not been afraid to spend lots of money on production (well at least not on Discovery. Picard was seemingly heavily shot in an empty warehouse around a commercial picnic table likely bought from Overstock.com). I wonder what impact this might have on their short term spending on the shows? And if that might have any knock on effects to the game?

    What's with random and shuttle TFOs?

    Posted: 28 Mar 2021 01:51 PM PDT

    I'm not picking them, but it seems someone on our team does and now can't transfer map even though the TFO isn't a shuttle one. Is this starting to become a thing?

    Issue with KDF BOFF customisation characters?

    Posted: 28 Mar 2021 01:15 PM PDT

    I created a KDF character recently and I've noticed, despite my best efforts, that any appearance customisation I've done on BOFFs aren't reflected in dialogue bubbles or windows (which is probably the wrong term for them). Has anyone else experienced this? It's strange as I have no such issues with BOFF customisation on my TOS Starfleet or Starfleet characters.

    NOTE: Due to a phone glitch this previously posted multiple times, the originals are deleted so this is not a duplicate.

    they should make all T5's upgradable even the Mirror/200K Fleet Credit ships

    Posted: 27 Mar 2021 07:19 PM PDT

    just something i feel should be done i mean yeah sure most people can get by with the basic mirror ships and such same goes for the 200K FC ships but i would like it if they added the option for extra oomph it'd also add some consistancy in a sense as all T5's would be upgradable barring the rear admiral ships that you get for free *though i wouldn't even be opposed to making those upgradable*

    i mean all the alien designed T5's they released after the mirror ships are upgradable what makes them so special? they have the same general stats unupgraded as a mirror ship anyways so why can't the mirror ships get the same treatment? same goes for the other T5's like 200K FC ships the C-store promo ambassador and possibly the RA ships if you wanna count them in this since there are several T5-U RA ships aswell *case in point the Excelsior and the Nebula*

    Klingon Discovery Armor

    Posted: 28 Mar 2021 12:23 PM PDT

    Does anyone else get a Conquistador vibe, or a 15th century European style from seeing it?

    Im no Discovery fan but if the armor somewhat reps that nod to history, it's a bit cool.
