    Will Spectres be updated with the TOS remastering?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2021 02:40 AM PDT

    "Since you'll be playing through the Original Series era content for this, we've gone through and done some visual updates and updated cutscenes for that era, as well as updating and improving the missions themselves. Enjoy the revitalized content!"

    Does this mean Spectres is gonna be updated?

    I sure hope so considering its me and my friends favorite quest line from back in the day and it would be nice to see it remastered again. and maybe added back into the normal mission list instead of the side thing?

    Devidian Arc

    Posted: 06 Sep 2021 09:09 AM PDT

    I played Specters a while back (2019) and never went further than that, played What Lies Beneath, What's Old is New, and Night of the Comet last night; what a breath of fresh air. The creepy voice coming over Drozana's intercom "Bonnie-Kin, Bonnie-Kin". Getting to go back to the TOS era for a bit. Getting to see a D-7's starfish for the first time. No time gated waves of all-you-can-eat Kling-Orcs.

    Why can't we get more like this anymore?

    Anyone who watches Ten Forward do me a favour?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2021 09:45 AM PDT

    Due to TZ I'm never free for it but enjoy reading the summaries on r/sto, can anyone ask Kael & Co if there's any news on reworks to Intel & Pilot after the success of Command? (And whether Intel will involve the Sensor Arrays or just the abilities)?

    Recommended event reward purchases?(not ships)

    Posted: 06 Sep 2021 07:24 AM PDT

    I've finished the event and haven't yet picked a reward, although I'm leaning heavily towards the lobi and I am looking for like a shopping list(?) of some sorts from the lobi store. Here is my loadout:

    ​

    if you have non lobi suggestions then please do tell me, I play this game slowly so any kind of goal is good for me.

    It was a snap choice when the event was announced, and a snap choice when I got the box, and I don't regret it one bit. The I.S.S. Queenmaker

    How to Consistently Test Space Things using the Tribble Test Map (PC Only)

    Posted: 05 Sep 2021 06:08 PM PDT

    Video: https://youtu.be/-xIKX49FMJk

    How to Access Tribble: https://support.arcgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018039234-Star-Trek-Online-Test-Server

    Original Dev Blog for the Test Map: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11237543-test-your-ship-builds-on-tribble%21

    Howdy folks, I know this map has been out for well over 2 years now, but just want to put this out here as a reminder that there is a Test map built into the Tribble Test server that gives you test dummies to test builds/abilities against.

    Why test on Tribble vs something like ISA/E or X Patrol on Holodeck?

    The Tribble test map provides a consistent environment that is not impacted by the numerous variables you'd see in traditional content.

    Any Queue is going to vary from run to run based on the team, your piloting, and many other factors. These variables can lead towards you making an incorrect assessment of what is working better as every single run can and will vary drastically.

    Patrols are slightly better in that they remove the team element, but still have variance due to the enemies being able to move.

    Tribble Limitations

    - No Endeavor Perk Points - Your Endeavor rank will not transfer with you. - No +Perk Point box at Test console.

    Edit: It looks like these are actually copying over based on whatever your character has at the time its copied over.

    • Very unlikely to have a Fleet Combat Boost
      • There are fleets on Tribble, but you would have to coordinate ahead of time to get into a built fleet.

    Where To Go On Tribble

    1. Head over to Drozana, and beam to the ground map.
    2. I've highlighted the location of the console on this picture.
    3. At that console, select the "Space Combat Test Map" and head in.
      • Note that copying a character over to tribble will reset your traits, tray, and possibly keybinds. Make sure to set those back up and save loadout before you begin testing.

    Map Options

    Upon loading in, hit ok on the first window that pops up, then select the "Choose Combat Settings" prompt.

    There are basically two options here.

    1. Select a Combat Encounter and you will fight a group of enemies that you select via the "Map Antagonist" option at the "Set Map Difficulty" option. Then load up one of the combat encounters.
    2. The reliable and consistent option that you'll want for testing is the "Spawn Test Dummies" option.
      • Once you spawn them in, you can select how many targets you want, up to five. You can also enable their shields, weapons, and mobility as your desire.
      • These spawn dummies can't be killed, so you can shoot at them for as long as your testing requires.

    Parsing and collecting data.

    Remember to do /combatlog 1

    Redirect your parser to the Playtest directory instead of Live. The Combatlog may not be generated yet, so just shoot the enemy a few times to get one started if needed.

    There is a "built-in parser", but it will only report basic Damage dealt and DPS values. You will very much want to use an external parser if you want to have detailed information.

    Final Notes

    I know this has been out for a very long time now, but it's crazy to me that few have ever used it and so many just don't know about it at all. It came out at a time where I had stepped away from the game due to burn out, otherwise I'd have covered it long ago.

    I've used this to help test things from the player side of the game. It's how I tested and verified the Webspinner was broken on release earlier this year.

    Hopefully this map can help others figure some stuff out. Is nice that we have this valuable testing platform available to us, but frustrating that it has been seemingly forgotten about.

    Devs, are the Constitution and Pioneer interiors getting fixed for the Sept. 8 event? If everything TOS is getting a facelift, why not this?

    Are construction shuttles capable of healing allies?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2021 09:03 AM PDT

    I recently purchased a Deploy Construction Shuttle Wing I as the tooltip and STO wiki page made it sound like a very useful ability for a tanky support build; 4x the healing of engineering team, and I don't even need to notice that my ally needs healed! I'm running a low level friend through many story episodes right now making this especially appealing, as their little escort is getting focused down pretty quick.

    However, I noticed that my construction shuttles never seem to heal my allies (who are often damaged). Instead they follow me around continuously, and end their life by healing my ship while it's at 100%. I checked my logs to be sure and I don't actually see evidence of those construction shuttles ever healing anyone other than me, though we've only done a few episodes so far.

    Are these shuttles supposed to heal allies? Is there something I can do to make them heal an ally (some setting somewhere; or should I target an ally before using them)? I'm realizing now, post-purchase, that none of the Google results really say definitively that these work on allies.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated. As is, this thing is on-track to be a multi-million EC paperweight. :/

    What ship did you get with the event campaign token?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2021 05:00 PM PDT

    So what ship did you end up getting for completing the event campaign? I picked up the Inquiry Battlecruiser.

    Does the T6 token work for legendary ships?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2021 05:12 AM PDT

    I doubt it, but I want to be sure of the answer.

    AoY Recruit Event -

    Posted: 05 Sep 2021 12:19 PM PDT

    Anybody going to have a themed AoY build for their captain? I'm inclined to make another human and have them be the grandparent of my main.

    That or a classic style Andorian, because I need a blue dude on my roster.

    Choices, choices.

    Thoughts on krenim science vessel

    Posted: 05 Sep 2021 08:44 PM PDT

    Gonna be grabbing this on my temporal recruit and curious about anyone's thoughts on the ship itself and it's console and traits. Googled it and most of the info I found was a few years out of date.

    Is there any way to add more transwarp destinations? Like Delta Quadrant and so on.
