[SERIES] Let's Play Star Trek Online - Winters Fed Walkthrough - Ep 71 - Ep75

$

Greetings, Admirals!

Welcome to Episodes 71-75 of Let's Play Star Trek Online - Winters Fed Walkthrough.

This series is a complete walkthrough of every aspect of the game - Story Missions, Reputations, DOFFing, Admiralty, BOFFS, Research and Development, Fleets, Crafting and End-Game Content etc. Every player, new and veteran, will find them a valuable source of information, tips and tricks. You may even learn something new! This could be anything from an accolade to a system that you didn’t fully understand or helpful hints on earning in game currencies like Energy Credits or Dilithium.

There will be a brand new episode released every Monday through Friday.

In Todays Episodes:
In this episode we play the new story mission "Paehhos Crater" in order to proceed further in the New Romulus story arc so that we can get our Tier 5 New Romulus Reputation reward. Once we have finished this mission we then move on to "Overgrown Caves". This mission is pretty close to us and very linear so it's not that difficult at all.
image


In this episode we do the mission "Hwael Ruins". This is the final mission we need to do in order to unlock the mission that is required to get our Tier 5 New Romulus Rep reward. It doesn't take us very long to complete this mission. Just a little over 5 mins so it's pretty easy to complete.
image


In this episode we play the new story mission "The Power Source". This mission is needed in order for us to claim our Tier 5 New Romulus Reputation reward. One thing that I would like to point out as a tip for doing this mission is to bring EV Suits with you for your Away Team. If however you do forget you can purchase some from the Dilithium Store as I did but ONLY go for the ones that cost 100 Dilithium.
image


In this episode we travel back to ESD and we are shown how to repair our ship for free. Ships can gain damage from doing Advanced or Elite content. While at ESD we do some house cleaning and clear out our inventory by going to the 50% vendor. Once we are finished with that we then move on to getting some of our end game gear from the different Reputations. We are given a detailed description on all the gear we get and the reasons why. After we have finished with the Rep gear we are then shown how to turn Reputation Marks into Dilithium via the Reputation window.
image


In this episode we play the story mission "Vorgon Conclusions". This is actually the first story mission we have played since hitting level 60 and after completing all of the Reputations. This is a pretty cool mission in that it makes reference to episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise and Star Trek: The Next Generation. It also features the Voice Over from a character named Daniels who was in Star Trek: Enterprise. The mission isn't very difficult for us now that we are max level 60 and we have all of our Reputation traits.

Expanded TOS Ships

I know Cryptic is most likely more or less done with anything regarding Agents of Yesterday. The missions are out, the ships are out. People have already stopped the Sphere Builders over 3 dozen times already I'm sure. But wouldn't it be nice to see some more TOS style ships to fool around with?

I know not everyone on STO likes/loves The Original Series, for whatever reason, but I think it would be cool to see some additional TOS style designs, even if they aren't T6. Not to mention the TOS Romulan and Klingon ships as well would be nice, or at least the skins (Klingon D9 skin for the Negh'tev?) for ships already present. This way at least people aren't locked into playing around with the same groups of ships just because they can't get their hands on a T6 Connie, D7, or T'Liss.

Perhaps something like the Crossbow class: 5ee2ce3cb63cce9679516af5014ad997.jpg

Or maybe the Pyotr Velikiy, the Constitution's opposite number: cruiser_pyotrvelikiy.jpg

I'm sure there are other designs out there for all 3 factions. Any thoughts or ideas rolling around out there? Do you think I'm crazy? If so, would you join me on this crazy train? Lets discuss!

(Also, like, Cryptic, you could make more money if you did this. Win-win for everyone here. Just tossing that out there)

shamshir vs khopesh

What is the practical difference other than consoles between the Romulan Shamshir and Khopesh Dreadnaughts? It appears the bridge officer config is the same even though the Shamshir is engineering and the Khopesh is tactical. I would expect the Shamshir to have a commander engineering but I opened mine up and it has a commander tactical like the Khopesh. What am I missing as far as difference?

sensor scan change?

It's probably my imagination. For some time the sensor scan, particularly on ground hasn't worked for me like it used to. I rely on sensor scans to ind mission objectives like glowing consoles and objects. Lately the scan circle appears but no directional beam . Text says no anomalies in area. Was there an update to the sensor scan that it only shows anomalies?

Please release Kelvin Constitution to the C Store!!!

I've spent over $100 purchasing keys and master key sets to try to unlock one..stinking...Kelvin Constitution ship and nothing. PLEASE....before I die of a brain aneurysm from stress-apointment, release the Kelvin Constitution(with new bridge interiors, if possible) to the C store so I can buy it there.

Typo: "Winter Prize Vouncher (2015)"

Holodeck ticket 3,935,405 (submitted on 03/14/2016)

The word "Voucher" is misspelled "Vouncher" in the phrase "Winter Prize Vouncher (2015)". This misspelling occurs in the following projects:

"Claim a Breen Rezreth Dreadnought Cruiser [T6]"
"Exchange Voucher (2015) for Marks"

Although the 2015 winter event is over, this bug may carry over into the next winter event.

Steps to reproduce

1. During the 2015 winter event, obtain 1,000 winter prize vouchers.
2. Press U and click on the "Reputation" tab. Click on the "Events" tab on the left. Then, click on the "Contribute" subtab.
3. Find the project named "Claim a Breen Rezreth Dreadnought Cruiser [T6]".
4. Hover your mouse pointer over the voucher icon under "Requirements". The tooltip says "Requires 1,000 Winter Prize Vouncher (2015)".

5. Click the "Select" button to slot the project.
6. Notice that "Voucher" is misspelled "Vouncher" above the "Contribute" button.

http://i.imgur.com/MmfEqgj.jpg

7. Click the "Contribute" button. The misspelling "Vouncher" occurs in two places in the "CONTRIBUTE ITEMS" window: (a) below the text "Contributing:" and (b) to the left of the "OK" button.

http://i.imgur.com/qRiFNeu.jpg

8. Complete the project "Claim a Breen Rezreth Dreadnought Cruiser [T6]".
9. Repeat step 2. Then, find the project named "Exchange Voucher (2015) for Marks".
10. Hover your mouse pointer over the voucher icon under "Requirements". The tooltip says "Requires 40 Winter Prize Vouncher (2015)".

http://i.imgur.com/YNt2MsB.jpg

11. Click the "Select" button to slot the project.
12. Notice that "Voucher" is misspelled "Vouncher" above the "Contribute" button.

Anyone have any foundry mission screenshots lying around? I could use them for a project I'm working on. Can't make new ones myself for the time being (no holodeck foundry plus no tribble access) and I want to see how many screenshots one can fit into a single, epic image celebrating the vast library of foundry missions. :)
The goal is to have this image made in time for New Years.

Promotional and playthrough screenshots will be accepted as long as they're HUDless.

I won the event ship on one of my toons, but can't claim it on any other toons. I thought it was an account unlock like last year. Will it show up the next time I log in?

[PC] [Klingon Allied Romulan] Night of the Comet, Unable to Complete

I've been ranking up a new Klingon allied Romulan captain & despite countless times I have done Night of the Comet, the final objective will not complete. All I can to is try to avoid B'vat & not get him killed. I have waited around the map for 10 minutes while doing this & nothing. I've also tried completing the objective within the indicated area on the map as as disabling B'vat in that area in the first place. Nothing. Please fix.

During these missions, you will be playing the role of your counterparts from the Mirror Universes.

Mirror Wars 1 takes place after the events of the original Mirror Universe missions from the Cardassian Arc, which were removed when season 11 arrived. If you are unfamiliar with them, fear not I have brought them back with the foundry.
Mirror Wars 2 takes place after the Iconian War during the Terran Empire's invasion of the Federation lead by Admiral Leeta.

-Redux- Tear of the Prophets
-Redux- Crack in the Mirror
-Redux- The Other Side

(Note: These above three missions were created by Cryptic Studios, all I've done is brought them back, and tried to 'spice' them up a bit.)

Mirror Wars 1

After the destruction of the I.S.S. Molly and the death of Captain O'Brien, you find yourself stuck in the universe controlled by the Federation. After weeks of venturing through Federation space alone, luck is in the air; you come across a friendly distress beacon on the edge of Cardassian Space.

Do what you must to get home, Captain.

Join them, Inquisitor. Give the Federation a reason to fear the Terran Empire.

Free STO Ship - #2 - Galaxy/Celestial/Envoy [Machinima/Video]

Some maps in STO cause extreme low framerates - [Potential Solution]

$

0
For a long time now, I have been trying to resolve a low framerate problem on a handful of maps. These include Risa Resort, New Romulus, Starbase 24 Fleet Action, and Badlands. These have been unplayable, with framerates as low as 9FPS. No amount of graphics settings tweaking, driver re-installs etc would fix it. Lowering settings would not improve it by even 1FPS. CPU and GPU use were under 50%, usually only 20% or less. This issue pre-dates the lighting 2.0 update too.

It appears to affect many GFX cards on many different systems, from what I can find on a trawl through Google. It seems that some combinations of CPU/GFX/Motherboard cause a problem with the way the GFX drivers, DirectX and/or STO interpret the system clock. Why this only happens on some maps, I do not know.

The solution, for me, was the following:

1) Disable HPET (High Performance Event Timer) in your BIOS.
2) Disable the HPET service in Windows for good measure (do not do this part if you do not have the BIOS option!)
3) Open an admin command prompt, and do the following:
i) "bcdedit /enum" - look toward the end of the results for any of these: "useplatformclock", "tscsyncpolicy" and "disabledynamictick"
ii) If you are having the same issue as me, you will likely see one or more of those. You can remove them to hopefully solve the problem.
iii)
bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock
bcdedit /deletevalue tscsyncpolicy
bcdedit /deletevalue disabledynamictick

iv) Do "bcdedit /enum" to check it all worked.
5) Reboot.

Note: Do check that other more modern games are not adversely affected. It is safe to start from step 3 if you can't or don't want to mess with BIOS.

To put the values back use "bcdedit /setvalue [name] true".

Hope that helps someone!

Unofficial Literary Challenge #30: Redux, Reuse, Re-Gift?

Welcome to the thirtieth edition of the Unofficial Literary Challenge: "Redux, Reuse, Re-Gift"! A very special challenge for you this month, as it's a redux and the Star Trek Online holiday special. Get crackin'!

Prompt #1: "Redux III"
Pick a prompt from a previous challenge, whether one you missed or one you want to redo, and write a story from it.


Prompt #2: "Winter Wonderland Celebrations" by @pwecaptainsmirk
The ancient tradition of Terran Winter Celebrations is such a festive and playful time in STO! Q is back and he brings us more Winter fun this year, with new snowmen, new weapons, new ships and more. This month's challenge is to write your own crews story centered around the event and festivities of the Terran winter season. But don't stop at Earth! You can tell us stories about any cultural celebrations from across the Star Trek universe. Perhaps the Andorians have tales of mysterious Vulcans who sneak into their homes at night and replace their toys with logic puzzles. Perhaps the Bajorans have a winter tradition that they hold dear involving incense and an Orb of Jolly. Maybe the Borg Queen is all alone on New Years and just longs for the day some dashing Android will meet her under the mistletoe and help her kill all humans. Or maybe your crew discovers a planet of elves who are ruled by a fanatical toy maker with a thirst for egg nog. Let your imaginations fly this month, and add your own twists of Trek Holiday Lore to the universe!


Prompt #3: "A Wonderful Life" by @moonshadowdark
After a long day on the bridge, you hop into bed. When you awake, however, you find yourself no longer the captain of the ship! In fact, you've never been born at all! What is going on? Who is behind this? What is this reality like to you? Write a log about the events and/or how you solved the problem that led to your "unbeing" and returned to normality.


Prompt #4: "Mail Day" by @starswordc
You can send letters by subspace or even talk face to face by video messaging, but sending packages to a starship still requires physical transport. It's mail day on the USS Your Name Here, and the crew is eagerly cracking open their care packages from home. What have they received from their loved ones: toiletries, books, cunning knitted hats? Or has the delivery ship delivered something it wasn't supposed to? And are they in return sending home any interesting souvenirs from their own travels?


As usual, no NSFW content.

science ship for tac alt

I'm looking for an end game/ fleet ship for my Rom tac alt and am considering the Science variant of the T6 Scimitar Flagship line. I find most science ships don't have the hull strength of a cruiser and I like to tank. The Flambard because it has similar stats to the other two Dreadnaught variant but has cmdr. tac seating and lt. cmdr. science seating. Does anyone have experience flying a science ship with a tac character and recommend this choice?

Shadow play mission with fed

Well I'm finally found a game where the developers openly cheat. In all the Star Trek games I have played through the years if it be pc or console, have I came across a Romulan Warbird that holds you in a tractor beam and blow you to kingdom come. Now I've been a fan of Trek since the grand young age of 7 ( I'm 54 now) and in all the Treks I've watched, never has a enemy ship been able to tractor a ship with its shields up and start blowing the heck out of it with heavy plasma tropedos and disruptors!! I've got a Galaxy class starship and I can't beat this Shadow play mission because of the BS of the Warbird tractoring my ship and destroying it!! Cheating, ruddy cheating and explotation of the player and total disreguard of the trek universe and fair play. I will not spend mony on a game that cheats, Arc you can stick it where the sun don't shine!
