mission not working

Could I get some monster player in my STO please?

I am a pretty casual player, and have never been a PvPer in any game I played. Then Champions Online did something that made me actually do some PvP; which is let you temporarily play as one of the game's villians.

I've never been a fan of normal PvP where an uber player can stomp someone who will never bother to min/max, but for some reason playing as a powerful "monster" with a crowd of people attacking you(or conversely, playing as a member of that crowd attacking the monster and being able to duck out if you start getting kilt) is just kind of fun.

It's not hard to imagine this in STO, where in a special queue or battlezone a limited number of people are playing as Borg or Undine or whatever, while the majority are wailing on them. And of course it almost goes without saying that both sides of that fight could earn marks in a new reputation.

So yeah, I would enjoy something like this in STO =)

Swarm glitches

I was in a swarm with a few friends. After getting past the first objective, the PVE stalls. The map still said that an enemy ship was still in the area, yet flying all over the map and finding nothing we had no choice but to leave the PVE. After we left the PVE we noticed that we got an half an hour ban for not being able to complete the PVE. Now I am trying to wrap my head around, how a glitched PVE where players have no choice but to leave deserves a AFK ban.

Customize Starship

Was trying to customize a fed starter ship and when I clicked buy it said it required something from the exeter. Couldn't 'purchase' the ship or customize until I switched some things around. Now, attempting to customize a KDF starter ship and I'm getting the same thing when I click purchase.

Serious New Bug Re: Alienware Systems Running Windows x64

$

My support ticket got me nowhere, so I'm writing here.

This is to report a fairly serious bug that started after the most recent patch. For whatever reason, any time I launch STO on my Alienware 17r5, Alienware Command Center locks up, goes into darkmode, and I can't change my Alien FX lighting, nor can I control the fan speed or audio controls on my machine. You can change settings, but they don't actually take affect.

This happens even after the game is closed, and I have to uninstall and reinstall the entire Alienware Command Center Suite just to get control back.

The support guys suggested this may be an issue with x64 not being compatible with Alien FX, but it worked perfectly fine until the last patch. I don't have an option in the launcher to use the 32 bit client anyway.

I have all the latest drivers and updates installed, and this only happens when I launch STO. None of my other games have any issue.

@devs, please help me.

There's some sort of bug that's been affecting the forums this past weekend. I'm talking to our forum host right now, but while we're waiting for a response - if you can't post, message me or one of our moderators, and we can fix it for you. Thanks for your patience.

UPDATE: Literally heard back as I was typing this post. The issue SHOULD be fixed now, but please still message us if you can't post.

Better weapons for ships...?

$
0
0
So I'm new. Actually, no I'm not - I started a character back in 2012 (or so), but didn't get very far. I decided to return last week after hearing good things. I had to delete my old character though, as when I logged back in again last week, she was stuck in the Tutorial (even though I finished the tutorial) and unable to move or zone out. I'm also curious as to where the ship I bought from the C-store back then (an Constitution with blue beams OMG love) disappeared to in the interim, but that's another matter.

Anyway, I've been questing. I've finished the Klingon War and Nimbus III quests and I've just started on the Romulan ones. I've levelled up astonishingly fast, incidentally, though I presume that once I hit 65 there will still be plenty to do. I've got plenty of decent ground gear already (well, decent enough anyway).

I'm still using my faithful Galaxy-class starship (even though I now have a Sovereign available), and because I'm one of 'them', I want to keep her all phasers and photons just as Ra intended. But so far, better versions of those weapons (or any weapons, actually) are not forthcoming, and I've been forced to buy the basic ones from the ship equipment NPC just to upgrade things slightly. I can't really craft good ones yet, though I'm working on levelling my R&D skills up now that I've got a handle on that. And I've finally discovered the exchange, but... for vaguely decent X/XI-type phaser arrays the cost is ridiculous - I could afford perhaps one array right now, and that's it!

While I'm not looking to min-max, as it's just not my style, I'm starting to struggle to keep up with the enemies. My shields are OK for now, but I can't do any damage! I can't realistically afford to outfit my ship with anything I can find on the Exchange right now though, unless the prices take a drastic tumble. So is there some kind of reliable way/place to get hold of half-decent ship equipment at that kind of level, even if it's a bit grindy? If so, where would I need to go?

Failing that, some easy way to earn extra credits (like, 500,000 of them) would be nice, then I could just buy what I'm after off the Exchange instead.

Any ideas?

I want to come back...

I want to come back to STO. I forget what happened originally I think I got caught up in warfighting in EVE Online and just never got around to it... I did duck in a year or so ago? But saw that I was stonewalled a tier or two from end game ships. I'm willing to brave it and I don't mind hard work but I never could upgrade past a certain point since everything seems to require me to be in a fleet to progress. So how does end game work now? And does anyone have tips on how to progress past the mandatory fleet point? The reason I got stonewalled is I never can find an active fleet.

Reliable source of gamma marks?

Is there a reliable source of gamma marks in the game? The specific gamma queues bug out often and you get leaver penalties when one bugs out.

Strike Team's ALPHA Recruiting

Strike Team Alpha is recruiting.

Our fleet is made up of a mixture of Fun casual, semi hardcore players. We do an assortments of Advance and Elite PVE Encounters from space to ground. We always happy to help and we constantly group up with our Armada and fleet members. We have open slots for Tac. Eng, and Science. (Blue Smurfs of Sto always welcome).

We do have a few slots open for Fleets that want to join our epic Armada. Fleet leader(s) are required to have and use teamspeak to go over armada and fleet details as well as special events within each fleet in the Armada. Fleet Members are encouraged to use Teamspeak but it's not a requirement, though its more fun to be part in teamspeak while we do space and ground PVE runs so we can ordinate better on runs. We have a strong teamwork personality. We help the fleets out with their upgrade projects. We currently focus on wrapping up Strike Team’s (Alpha) Colony to Tier 5. Then we can concentrate on other fleets with their upgrade projects. This will help and let everyone in the Armada use our Colony T5.

We don’t tolerate Drama, we love doing things together, and we use TeamSpeak to BS and especially to PVE. If you don’t have teamspeak it’s not mandatory for armada/fleet members but it is a requirement for fleet leaders so in case we need to contact you. TeamSpeak is another tool that we use to group up with folks as well as well as share ideas, builds, learning new things etc. We all love learning from each other and trying out new things especially brain storm ideas.

We do hold special armada events for Prizes at the moment we are holding a Fleet module event. Everyone in our Armada will have an opportunity to partake and win some fleet modules. Anyone interested in finding a new home or interested in moving your home to a better Armada if it’s to earn a ton of Fleet credits, make new friends, be more active in Sto, do more PVE runs, competitive mark runs, socialize meet more players, etc your welcome to give us a go. Feel free to contact me my in game handle @Bishop#7533

Earth Spacedock (RP)

Hi guys! I got a request to start a serious RP thread, so here it is. That last one got out of control, lol. So I guess we can keep the craziness over there. I'll add my first post here as soon as I can, but in the meantime feel free to start. (cc @the0infamous )

RP/fic any of your Fed/Rom Captains at Earth Spacedock:

800px-Earth_Spacedock_Main_Concourse.png?version=74e03354dfc821f81f89a5b1badc109d

Rules/tips:
  • No NSFW stuff.
  • Don't take over other people's RP characters (unless they're okay with it).
  • In general, 'conveniently omit' context that denotes your character as "the player/the one" from in-game, and, rather, generalize events, so as to maintain a shared semi-non-conflicting RP-thread continuity. [Notes: It is not to say your character didn't engage in specific episodes/events, but not to specify they did either.] [Exceptions: Large scale events, like fleet battles (i.e. The Iconian attack at Earth, or general Na'Khul alerts) are encouraged to mention, but may still require some generalization. Use your best judgement!] For major exceptions to this rule, see the discussion thread for an ongoing list of episode/event involvement.
  • The RP is in a perpetual state of the year 2410 (until the game moves forward).

List of Earth Spacedock department head NPCs:
  • Commander Allura, Operations, Executive officer; Aenar, female
  • Commander Barnes, Shipyard; Benzite, male
  • Commander Batou, Engineering; Human, male
  • Commander Reeve, Security; Human, male
  • Commander Lucrecia, counselor, female
  • Doctor Melzine, Infirmary; human, male
  • Ensign Otis (hands out reports/information)

Types of play (can combine more than one):
  • Integrated with story - Join other Captains in solving an issue
  • One off/or more than one off - Like a mini fanfic, make a short stop to replenish supplies, drop prisoners, etc.
  • Side story - Posts about stuff your Captain is dealing with. Can work well with "Integrated with story".
  • (That's all I can think of right now. There's probably more ways.)

Return of the Obelisk Carrier as a mission reward.. ??

I have been playing for a few years and would like to see the return of the Obelisk carrier via as a mission reward. yes I understand there is a version only available from the fleet store and Advance version in the Lobi store. Perhaps like the "Temporal Ambassador" mission in the Vigilance quest line, it was be a mission reward for the Sphere of Influence in the Solanae Dyson Sphere where we are first introduced to the Obelisk Carrier. Maybe we can get to the point where we can have an Obelisk Carrier, Fleet Obelisk Carrier, Advance Obelisk Carrier, and Fleet Advance Obelisk Carrier??

=>STARFLEET LIBERTY FORCE IS RECRUITING

Starfleet Liberty Force is recruiting for a different kind of social gaming. Membership satisfaction is our focus and we are not the corporate like entity kind of fleet. We bring in the social connection that most fleets lack and we are proud to put you in the center of the action.

Wouldn't you rather be part of an exciting group of gamers who care about each other instead of being a mere number in a fleet's roster?

Are you tired of looking for fleets that have no goals in making a difference for member satisfaction.

If you answer to any of these questions is yes then join us in the success story of a well established and friendly "Starfleet Liberty Force". Starfleet's finest fleet...where you always have a voice and input...

We are not the small kind of fleet struggling to grow but we are a well established and large enough fleet to accommodate all kinds of players from different gaming preferences and timezones.

Happy gaming!!!

Contact Christie Swift @2007-2007 or myself for information.
Our website: http://stoliberty.guildlaunch.com/
Recruiting thread: https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline/#/discussion/1029457/starfleet-liberty-force-is-recruting

Accept no copy cat or wannabe alternate fleets. We are the real deal and have been since launch of STO.

Why is "Law' a space doff?

And not a security officer, or assault squad officer? His whole mission is completely about bringing law and order to a uncivilized backwater. Seems more fitting to be a ground unit doff.

Perhaps a switch to that, and a free replacement of the space doff. Probably wont happen, but always wondered.
thanks

StarTrek Online FeedBack To Developers

$

Howdy Developers, it’s been sometime I wanted to discuss something with you guys that has been festering me for some time now. I’m a huge Star Trek fan, I love everything about star trek from original shows to all other TV branched shows. I have been playing MMORPG games for over 30 years now. Like in every MMORPG you have thousands and thousands of content missions before undertaking the main end game content or the option to skip ton of side missions to get to complete the main storyline content. Also raid Content has always been one of the many staples for every MMORPG. I thought this game was no different till I started last year and was able to finish all the episode chapters content in less than a year. Then I was introduced to the pleasure of farming Reputation system, Doffs, R&D, Dill, etc. Farming to help build up fleet was totally awesome experience. The PVE space, land PVE encounters was so much fun I couldn’t wait to do the next one. It was one of the best times like in any mmorpg playing with friends and creating memorial memories of encounters that one will always remember.

With that said, last year was when I started. I started by purchasing Delta Rising Operations Pack, Temporal Special Agent Pack, and subscribing. I only played for 6 months or so. Thats how long it took me to finish all the story episode missions and chapters. I also was able to farm my R&D to 15 and get end game gear. I was very frustrated with the lack of story mission content. I tried the Foundry but it gave me a bad taste in my mouth to do foundry missions. With respect to the players that created them this is a job that developers should be doing not players. Anyway I rather not get into that debate but this year last month precisely I came back again. This was do to a friend puling me back in to play the new content. I said new Content sht of course I’m in. So I purchased Gamma Vanguard Pack. I love it so much I ended up also getting LifeTime Subscription. I was excited to start this new chapter episode and I loved every second of the lore, story that included the Ferengis. Best EPIC Mission Quark’s lucky Seven. The story was extremely well written and I only wished we had more. I couldn’t get enough of “Leck” now thats a ferengi that will warm anyone’s heart. The love he has to Blow sht Up and Backstabbing one for profit. We needed more episodes and missions that are ferengi. This is one of the reasons why I am writing this feedback.

I’m humbling asking for more content. No need to concentrate on creating new ships for same old content/maps. We seriously need a whole UI Makeover. Come out with a brand new expansion that will re install a brand new Startrek online with a new UI Makeover, ability for us to create mods and better macros. Better way for us to see buffs as they stack, shwos timer of buffs and cooldowns etc. StarTrek Online is a MMorpg game and it should be made and offered with with today’s bells and whistles from every other mmorpg game from UIs, macros, etc that is currently out in the market. We need more and more content in a new galaxy. No different from other mmoropgs when an expansion is released it’s a new 1-2 multiple world’s with thousands and thousands of new mission contents to do and explore. Gaining faction reputation for items and gear, that part you have down pack with your reputation system and specialization. However the lack of episode story missions it’s a huge let down for many players and new players that will want to play. Include raids we lack raids in Startrek online compared to the many MMorpgs that are out in the market. PVE 5 man runs are great but we need ability to have 20-40 man raids. The loot system should be altered for these kind of raids. Offer better gear than the crafted reputation gear, as well as the consoles we get from fleet, as well as better than any crafted item as well as any purchased C store ship as well as any lock box ship. That’s how all the mmorpgs are played in raid you raid for chance to win the highest most item if it be console, starship trait, gear weapons etc. We will love to have some serious good PVP action. Some examples capture the mother of Bombs and blow up other teams embassy. Have an all spaceship self-encounter everyone for them self no teams.
Have random buffs all over the place it will buff you stronger or weekened your opponent. Have a team all-out war first team to kill all parties from other team wins (no puzzles).Another one is to have an objective defend 5 numerous locations on random as space dock control room calls it out and other team makes it difficult for you to capture those locations. Reward system make it Dill and lots of marks of choice.

Startrek online has so many divers contents you can expands from. Create a new expansion pack that offers a new galaxy filled with long story lines which can be the liberation of the torment of cardasia, back story of 100 missions or so including some stories from deep space nine. You have about 7 seasons so you can add plenty of new content on that alone for an expansion pack. Also you can look at creating more content revolving current and past season episodes and merging the Borg and Q. Make 50 missions relating to Q asking help from Federation. Our help is needed since the Borg infiltrated Q’s home world. Imagine 100s and 100s of Borg simulated Q’s. Now we know how much of pain Q is in Picard’s you know what now imagine Millions of Borg Simulated Q’s. That is some catastrophic nightmare. You can also add Picard in some of the story mission as an advisor /consultant to help us save Q’s home world. That can be extremely mind blowing (especially for us fans). Keep in mind we need a lot of missions as well as multiple new pve content for each reputation system. For instance Gamma has only one space pve and we should have had more.

Star Trek Online can be better for an 8 year old game. Star trek online should have the same if not more content compared to any new or old mmorpg. I trust next expansion is better and you can include some of my positive feedback will be awesome. I hope I posted this in the right forum section. This covers feedback of the whole game.

Delta torp or Lukari?

I'm going to equip a T6 Tac escort with the Advanced Thoron infused dual heavy cannons and the Lukari Piezio-Polaron dual heavy. I'm also getting the console from both sets. I already have the polaron energy torpedo up front. Should I get the Lukari torpedo or the Delta Neutronic?

Note: I also have the quad phaser, quantum warhead module and cloak. The only reason I have the phasers is for the upgrade to battle cloak. I'm aware that conventional wisdom suggests one type of energy weapon. I wish there were quad polaron cannons but arent as far as I know.

[PC] You Could Win a T6 Ship with the Foundry!
