    Please reconsider your responses to content the devs share, it can be very discouraging to some of them to see negative feedback as this tweet shows

    U.S.S. Typhoon on patrol in the Risa System. Pretty boring atm

    Older cannons should have their visuals overhauled to match the newer, faster visuals instead of keeping their old "looks like it could be outrun by bumping your throttle up" visuals

    Posted: 25 Mar 2021 08:05 AM PDT

    Best thing the Covert Weapons brought to the game was the drastic improvement to the visuals of cannon weapons. Since every cannon weapon since has shared the style, it really just underscores how bad the old visuals look - I cringe every time I watch what is allegedly an energy weapon bolt visibly curve towards its target.

    Also, the Zhat Vash dual cannons are the best, most canonical-looking weapons that you can put on a BoP. Seriously, go check. Looks awesome.

    Possible “House of Martok” Klingon Themed Reputation

    Posted: 25 Mar 2021 07:38 AM PDT

    It was brought up a few streams ago by one of the viewers how they would love to see a Klingon reputation.

    Ambassador Kael, being his awesome self, said that while a Klingon Faction Specific reputation wouldn't be possible, a "House of Martok" reputation would be fun and cool.

    Since that stream, I have been thinking about what a possible reputation could contain.

    I have a list.

    Starting with unique ground weapons/devices:

    D'k tahg: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/D%27k_tahg

    Worf's Battle Glove: https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-4780179

    A Normal Targ combat pet: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Targ

    Costume Unlock

    General Chang's uniform: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Chang_(General)

    Admittedly it's not a very long list. But what do you think? What would you like to see in a "House of Martok" Klingon Themed Reputation?

    Any news about account wide trait unlocks ?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2021 04:28 AM PDT

    I struggle to believe it is not possible, since they can sell us such traits (mirror bundle etc).

    Maybe I just played too long, but having to grind out 10+ ships for every new toon keeps me away from creating new ones. And that's one off the best parts in sto.

    So, any news on that front ?

    Ps: That's no rant, I'm just tired.

    Ten Forward Weekly: Tumerboy's Top Secret Project (Environment kit)

    Posted: 24 Mar 2021 08:06 PM PDT

    Links: Twitch, Facebook [1:25]

    ​

    Topic: Tumerboy's Top Secret Project (Environment kit)

    Guest: Senior environment artist Nick Duguid

    ​

    • Thomas' design streams were received well enough that he'd probably would do more of them later.
    • Thing Nick was working on recently is an environment kit. Basically that is a library that consists of assets already grouped together into premade blocks (floor patches, wall blocks, up to a full corridor cubes and rooms), which should significantly steamline creation of interiors that use existing styles (ships, bases).
      • So, from what I understood, in past they needed to put the wall, manually adjust it to the previous wall part, than place any panels on it, attach celling, floor, opposite wall, ets.; now they already have wall section with attachment points and, with several variations featuring different accessories hanging from it, or a doorway with a door already in it, so now they can just plug those together, before populating them with fine details.
    • We already witnessed kit in work for recent klingon designs.
    • They're making new STO era federation interior design style.
    • New federation interior look would be closer to TNG era, in both shapes and colouring.
      • They would still be bigger then realistically needed, because of STO peculiarities, both gameplay (so that many people won't clog the tight spaces) and visual (game was made to work with camera hanging at a significant distance).
    • Were they making STO today, they would've restricted the camera zoom out distance, compared to what we have right now, even though current distance have its own benefits.
    • They did many huge interiors for STO back in the day; they'd try not to make needlessly big spaces anymore.
    • TNG and DS9 interiors were more realistically sized and as a result cased many problems because game just didn't fit that size.
    • Additionally they can now modify the kit pieces in groups, so that they can get differently-looking set with compatibly minimal effort, just modify basic elements and change would be applied to all parts.
    • We should see content featuring the new interior somewhere in the fall.
    • Nick still keeps U.S.S. THUNDERCOUGARFALCONBIRD in his test area as a memento.
    • Before deciding on the final design, they do not just 2d concepts, but also Nick builds several mock-ups in full 3d.
    • While Nick can change colours to red alert on the fly, he can't make the game do so with the lights, as they'd need to reload the map for lighting change, and without it that change would look really underwhelming, that's why they wouldn't do that.
    • Mike would like to make more behind-the-curtains streams showing how work is being done.
    • Hardest thing Nick had to do was rebuilding DS9.
    • In addition to ship models, Cryptic receives computer model mock-ups that CBS themselves create while they are figuring what sets would look like. Putting them in game is impractical, but they are useful for figuring out how to model the spaces for the game.
    • Nick would like to redo Andoria into something useful and create Tellar Prime.
    • Bonus unrelated answer: People who decided the exclusivity of stuff for consoles don't work in Cryptic or Perfect World anymore, so Mike is at a loss.

    ​

    It's funny to see how people react to Mike raiding them after stream ends, though personally I usually don't hang on because I have to go edit the transcripts, and preferably do a second check pass trough the stream.

    (Anecdotal) Phoenix box return on investment

    Posted: 25 Mar 2021 05:01 AM PDT

    About three to four months ago I was averaging about 17-18 uncommons per ten-pack. Especially in the last six weeks I am seeing average returns of about 12 uncommons per ten-pack. Is anyone else seeing this? I open about 3x 10-packs a week and have really noticed a dropoff. Is anyone else seeing this as well? Has Arc/Cryptic decided to debuff drop rates so players need to spend more dollars on average to upgrade items? Because if so it's an awfully scummy tactic.

    Which Fed Uniform would you like in game?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2021 06:02 AM PDT

    STO is pretty good for having a bunch of outfits available, but there's still plenty more out there. So which would you like to see them add?

    I've limited the poll to Federation as you can only have 6 options, and I've also not included the Lower Decks, Discovery S3, or Discoprise uniforms as it's almost guaranteed they'll be released in due course.

    Here's some pictures to refresh your memory of the options:

    Mirror TNG: From the "Broken Mirror" comic series. https://trekmovie.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/tngmirror-riker-320x480.jpg

    Mirror Voyager: https://trekmovie.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/sdcc-idw-mirrorvoyprev-head.jpg

    Odyssey Open jacket: No pictures, but basically the same as the Jupiter and DS9 open jackets we already have, but with the Odyssey uniform.

    TOS "The cage": The turtleneck uniforms from the original Star Trek Pilot episode http://media.aintitcool.com/media/uploads/2016/herc/st_cage_large.jpg

    TNG/SNL Love Boat cruise uniform: Stupid, but my personal choice. From a Star Trek/Love Boat parody on Saturday Night Live starring Patrick Stewart. It's a short sleeve version of the TNG uniform with ranks on the shoulders, worn with shorts and tennis shoes. Would be perfect for Risa. https://www.joeydevilla.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/love-boat-picard.jpg

    The Motion Picture Crew uniforms: we have the Admiral uniform, but not the crew ones to match. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEDLkXWy1kGFaP_ced0HQ_i0ER29J0kmzk21DAD6BEMPdE6YprSOw4dbLqW1Hojq-mv-xlX5adM8A0qSik4cXi8mO2KurAbZ8QkomwNGj_2pEy_RkEmxpFbgk3QG5oSuvPEHqMclAaUNyp/s640/st11.jpg

    Hmmm, what to choose?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2021 10:50 AM PDT

    I got an epic phoenix token last night. As a fan of the Lukari, the flying Dorrito seems an obvious choice. Plus I'd have the entire Braydon set. But the Ferengi boat has bank and exchange access and its own Dabo table. I mean, how cool is that? Then there is the Breen dreadnought. I am a sucker for dreadnoughts. Thick hull, hanger pets... as Julie Brown would say, " I like em big and stupid!" But all of the consoles that come with it are Breen specific. I don't know. Probably gonna go with the Ho'kuun but just wanting to think on it before blowing the first epic token I've ever gotten.

    Console - Universal Reiterative Structural Capacitor -- From Mudd's Market or reclaim if you did the event

    Weird, wavy, purple textures..?

    Posted: 24 Mar 2021 10:53 PM PDT

    Just recently started, I haven't changed any visual or graphical settings. And it seems to be getting progressively worse. Anything that reflects off of my ship (or other player ships as well) has these weird purple-esque wavy lines. It looks kind of like oil in water. It's very, very strange and I'm about at wits end. Anyone have any idea what's causing this and how to fix it?

    See image below.

    A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I played STO. Considering playing again questions.

    Posted: 24 Mar 2021 06:56 PM PDT

    And I do mean a long time ago, its gotta be 2012 ish, or there abouts, when it went F2P.

    Originally it was to play alongside a friend who was in the Beta for the game, but I ended up actually being a part of the Reddit Fleet, at least for a time.

     

    I played a Tactical, level 50, with the Defiant version that could Cloak. I had some STF gear, after spamming that one mission over and over. I had quite a few ships, weapons, credits, and all sorts.

    If I am able to remember/find my old log in info, is it possible to transfer any of that from my old character to a new one?

     

    For whatever reason I'm on a Star Trek binge right now, and outside of Bridge Commander, a few game mods, and some RP builds in Elite Dangerous I am finding myself just wanting more Trek.

    Which made me think of STO, again, after all this time.

     

    I would want to start over, soloing the story. Not really sure if I would want to do any "end game raids" again, I played FFXI for years and honestly I am too old for all that jazz now.

    I just want to be in a Trek fictional world, doing story, and any exploration based side acvtivities. I seem to remember some race thing around all the sectors which was quite fun.

     

    So, in short. Is End Game pushed so much now? Can I retrieve anything from my old character? I'm not really wanting to grind for Dilithium and stuff, or at least as little as possible. I seem to remember hating the mini-game after the changed it, and the rewards from the mining dropped sharply, and I just kinda got "grinded" out.

     

    Anyway, any comments or answers about this post welcome.
