STO and Arc games employees. Can you please make an automated coupon that is automatically sent to us players two week before our birthday's? I want a lifetime subscription coupon that gives the same savings deal for lifetime subscription that your company did around last black friday. Most of the time you only give a lifetime subscription sale maybe three times a year. This will be nice for gifts that family members to buy their family member that plays STO. And if players already have a lifetime subscription you can give them a code for a Tal Shiar Adapted Dreadnought Carrier Tier 6 with Tal Shiar Adapted Romulan Drone Ships! As a free item or deal. Since that players with lifetime subscription has the ability to make borg characters. The Tal Shiar Adapted Dreadnought Carrier Tier 6 deal should be available after the player buys the lifetime subscription once it is released. Let's have ship coupon come out for players before the ship is released just like a preorder? And let's add a Zen store research item that unlocks craftable borg gear that is almost as good as normal antiproton gear but not as strong as borg reputation gear? And borg cannons, heavy turrets, and beams that are not in the borg reputation should be added. STO developers can you please fix the hangar pets please? And everyone what do you all think about this idea?

It just sits there saying "Version ST.70.20161113a.35."

Can't install game as patch fails
I get the first 140mb done, the launcher starts and patches for 14GB, at some point something happens and the patch stops never to start again.
At this point the game is not recognised by Window 10 as installed, so I have deleted the files sto directory manually an started again from arc, only for the process to fail at some point.
Do I need to download 14GB with a flawless connection for this to work?

Missing visuals
Since the updated landed I've noticed several graphical errors. Objective highlights in queues tend to disappear and certain effect visuals are absent or toned down, such as transporter effects, warp core explosion trails, cannon shots, and torpedoes. I've checked my graphics settings and they're all maxed out. Not sure if it's the game or my AMD drivers which I updated a few days ago. Anyone else having similar issues?

Tzenkehti Front (PVE Queue) problem
Here's a thing I just ran into.
If you go right up next to a fort (usually because you can't get out of the line of fire to deploy the bomb) and are under one of the 'arms' when you blow it up, a problem occurs.
You get STUCK!
The fort blows up. It's gone. But you're stuck just as if you were caught by the bug that sticks you inside a sun. Can't move. Can't shoot. Can't do squat. Have to use the /stuck command to get out of it.
Actually took me a moment to figure out what was wrong with my ship.![:/ :/]()
Oh! and these PVEs are great! I actually blew up for a change! It was on the other queue though and took a lot of ships. Still... I went boom! Hasn't happened in a long time! Hope they don't Nerf them any time soon. It's fun!![:D :D]()
yep. I switched back to my advanced mirror escort a few days ago, which almost never blows up. At least not since the Na'kuhl.
(Disclaimer: This however does not include PVP fanatics targeting me in battlezones. We all heard my last rant about that issue...)

Disconnecting from Server
The game worked fine for me until 2 weeks ago. I was playing and I suddenly got disconnected and it hasn't let me reconnect since. I select my character, it loads to 100 and then goes black and says "Disconnected from Server". I then have to log back in and it keeps doing the same thing. I've sent a notification to support and a message/post on the Facebook site and no answer. Hopefully I can play again soon. Any advice?

Mirror Wars

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.
Long live the Empire!

Spiral Wave Disruptor Set idea!
Since Keldon/Galor ships come with 4 Spiral Wave Disruptors already the set bonuses start when you equip more than 4...
5 SWDs: One Random Subsystem Offline for 10 sec, -10 All Damage Resistance for 20 sec (up from 5sec and 15sec respectively)
6 SWDs: Weapon Proc chances increased to 3% or 5% (up from 2.5%)
7 SWDs: +20% Accuracy (stacks with SWD's innate +20% Accuracy for a total of +40%)
8 SWDs: Weapon power drain is -5 when firing other weapons (up from -10)
In addition, If all 8 SWDs are equipped AND you also have equipped [Console - Universal - Spiral Wave Disruptor Lance] you receive an additional +20% Disruptor Damage, the Console's ability CD is reduced from 2min to 1min, and the ability's disable subsystem and damage resistance reduction durations mirror the SWDs (10sec and 20sec respectively)

Another giveaway mishandled
Like the Nagus before it: the Soverign give-away occured to what appears to be random people, with no explanation.
It's like it's custom-designed to lower morale.
There have been some "5 lucky winner" giveaways, and there are "show up and everyone gets"; but give aways like the one they did yesterday (and the Nagus before it) are, well, bad. Not to the people who recieve to be sure, but to the rest of us for whom it feels like a big "you suck" (not to mention people who purchased it with Zen).
Fix this guys. If you are giving away the ship, then give away the ship. Don't do these unnanouced secret "to some people".
PS. Feel free to placate me by sending me a code (Nagus would be even better). Lord knows you have gotten enough of my money that keeping my moral up is likely a good choice.

Anniversary Ship....Account Unlock????
Before this Anniversary event gets too far along, I wanted to get this clarified....by a Dev, if possible.
Must each character on an account collect 1000 Vouchers to gain the Lukari ship?
Or is this Anniversary ship project an Account Unlock???
But I am reading the TEXT on the Project itself and it states: "Exchange 1000 7th Anniversary Prize Vouchers for your very own Tier 6 Lukari Ho'Kuun Science Vessel". This "your very own" statement reads to me as if every character needs to collect 1000 Vouchers in order to gain the prize/ship on that character.
Where as a friend asked "the masses" and they have told him otherwise. (I am going to assume he asked in Zone or a Fleet Chat). That this Anniversary ship IS, indeed, an account unlock. IN other words, all characters on an account can pick up the ship after ONE character finishes the rep project.
