Nvidia shield controls

$

Just out of curiosity, has anybody at all used an nvidia shield to play sto?

I would like to play STO out and about on my shield but the keybinds are just too damn confusing to bind to a single controller
Does anyone think it would be possible to get STO for the shield? and would it use the console keybinds at all?

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?

PVE que ship whistle still missing on console

$

When entering a PVE que all goes well until there are enough participants.
When the time is up to hit the "ready" button, there is only a text warning popping up for a very short time, no audio warning.
No apply button where we just should have to hit the "A" button.
Instead you need to open the captains menu with "A" scroll down, find the que that is ready, select it, and then a window pops up on the main screen where you still have to select "ready" to eventually enter the que...
I have seen already a LOT of que 's failing and people getting frustrated about this.

When a Que is ready to be launched, play, like on the PC version, the ship whistle sound (so players KNOW that a que is ready) and give us the "Press A ready, press B to leave" option directly on the screen you are in at that moment.

Often i que up on the exchange, and mis the que because i did not noticed the text pop-up because all other kinds of system messages, reward messages, etc. flying by.

Take this note as a suggestion, not as a breakdown of the UI, improvements can only be achieved through feedback :-)

Kind regards

Thanks for the free sovereign, Cryptic... I just have to wonder though, why didn't I get the spec points and KDF-side equal to the Sovereign? I mainly play KDF.

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?

Please give us Kuumaarke as a boff!

She's so sweet. :) I would love to have her on my crew! And that British voice! :) She's so much more interesting than, say, a boring Elisa Flores. Please, make it so!

T6 NX Registry Numbers Bug

I noticed on the new T6 NX that we can't put registry numbers below 100 or have the option to remove the S.S or U.S.S from the ship, I'd like to able to have like Avenger NX 09 for example.

Could this be fixed?

Anyone has the same problems?

My T6 fleet command assault cruiser has vanished from my ship roster.

$

A few days before the new season patch came up I was looking through my dry dock to see if there was a ship I didn't need there wasting space so I can take it out and discharge it, my regular T6 Command Assault Cruiser was in there and since I last had my fleet version in the a main roster I decided to discharge the regular one, so I removed it from the drydock and as I looked for it again in the ship roster before I could get rid of it I noticed something odd, my fleet version was no where in sight and then I panicked and frantically looked back and fourth between my drydock and main slots to double check if it was there, again it wasn't in either dry dock nor main roster.

I am absolutely perplexed as to how my T6 Fleet Command Assault Cruiser just completely vanished from my roster, I also still have the admiralty card to prove I had it, but other than that I don't know how I could possibly ever get it back.

Recently I have been having an issue, where although My roster says I have 9 vessels, and maintenance is empty, only 4 ships will show when I attempt to plan an assignment.

Temporal Bonuses Warning

$
0
0
I heard that TOS/Temporal chars get bonuses once they max out their rep trees (UR Gear) and spec trees, so I made one. Spent WEEKS grinding the rep trees to max, but then no UR gear dropped. THEN I found out it needed to be a AOY char with Transponder to work. Unbelievable. That's weeks of grinding down the toilet for nothing.

IMO Rep/Spec bonuses should apply to *all* Temporal Chars, whether they were made the day of AOY launch or yesterday. Or else what is the point of making one?

I'm not expecting Cryptic to fix it, but I wanted to post it, partially to vent, and partially as a warning to anyone else currently grinding a new TOS character, hoping for bonuses. There are none. Do something more productive with your time.

Aero Shuttle and other separation pets *** STILL *** totally broken after patch 12th Jan 17

When launching the Aero Shuttle from the Intrepid it flies off into the distance, it no longer fights but flees. Whilst some may find this amusing it is badly broken, please can you take a look at it.

Reports are saying the same thing is happening to MVAm pets, saucers, and basically any non-hangar pet.

Lockbox Ship Wish List ..........

$
0
0
I've been playing this game on Xbox One since it first dropped and the various lockboxes have begun to seriously stack up across the characters on my account. I've been amassing them all in my shared account bank and am now awaiting the next discount weekend to splurge and buy enough keys to open them all.

I understand that the percentage chance of a rare ship drop is still minimal and not guaranteed, but as there are many more people who've played this game for years on pc I thought that I might solicit some feedback on the handful of ingame lockbox ships whose visual I really like. I did not research their traits and other benefits, just the visuals of those that appeal to me personally.

If anyone pc or console has an opinion about the Na'kuhl Acheros Battlecruiser (T6); Na’kuhl Daemosh Science Vessel (T6); Krenim Annorax Science Dreadnought; Krenim Imperium Warship; Zahl Heavy Cruiser; Hazari Destroyer; Kobali Samsar Cruiser; Ouroboros Temporal Raider - please speak up.

I think the the Na'kuhl ships look awesome and also if anyone has info about what these ships price at in the exchange that would be great. I've not seen any lately and am nowhere near credit sufficient to buy one anyway, but it might help me start planning for the long haul. Thanks!

Exocomp costume weapon/ability FX hardpoint error

$
0
0
BUG:

Firing and ability FX hardpoints for exocomp costumes (Exocomp 01, Exocomp 02, Tholian Exocomp) route through floor instead of body, or floating weapons.

Description:

When using one of the new exocomp costumes on a combat NPC with in-built ranged weapons (like Borg), all firing FX is routed through the "base" of the costume, at floor level. If the combat NPC has a separate weapon, like a pistol or rifle, it instead floats in front of the Exocomp, facing sideways. All ability FX also routes through the "base" of the costume, effectively invisible.

CATEGORY :

Foundry graphics

How to reproduce:

1- Set combat NPC to use Exocomp 1, Exocomp 2, or Tholian Exocomp costume.
2- Fight NPC or have them fight another NPC.

LOCATION:

Any map where an Exocomp costume is used on a combat NPC.

####

Very glad to see exocomp costumes added to the foundry, although they're not very friendly with combat groups at the moment. Thank you very much to whoever put them in! Hopefully a fix to this issue isn't too unreasonable to ask for.

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.)

LIBERTY TASK FORCE
"Liberty, Equality, Justice, Peace & Cooperation"

www.LibertyTaskForce.com
Info@LibertyTaskForce.com

Dear Star Trek Online Gamer,

Liberty Task Force is recruiting. Please consider us as you Star Trek Online fleet. Here is a little bit about us...

Our Mission:

Liberty Task Force is a Star Trek Online gaming fleet and community. It was established on April 28th, 2013. Our mission and goal was to create a fun and friendly gaming community for both new and veteran players, and that's exactly what we have accomplished. We started this fleet with one key central idea in mind: that every member, whether their rank be high or low, have a voice on fleet business and that their voice be heard and acknowledged. That's why, along with a fair and highly structured ranking system, we proudly boast a voting system for major fleet amendments, regulations, activities, and events including major fleet holding projects. We believe that the fleet belongs to all its members not just the top few or the "in-crowd". Our ranking system is based on contributions levels to the fleet in-game and access to fleet stores start at only 100,000 total contributions. There is plenty of room for advancement for those that seek it. Nevertheless, we also welcome "solo" players that want the benefits of a fleet without having to commit a lot of time, effort, contributions, or having to pass all kinds of online gaming tests or roll-calls; though we do ask our members to register via the website and log into the game at least once every 60 days in order to remain active on the roster (we believe this is both fair and reasonable).

We are laid-back and respectful players. We do not judge anyone based on race, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, economic status, political and religious beliefs, or your gaming style (so long as it doesn't impede with anyone else's). We won't berate and yell at you if you have to leave an STF or Fleet Action in the middle of the mission because the family or real-life come calling; we understand we have those too. If you want to learn the game, this is a great fleet to be in. If you want to teach new players the in's and out's of the game, this is a great fleet to be in. If you simply are looking for a group of friends that share similar interests, this is a great fleet to be in. We have members from all over the world; from across the U.S.A. to across parts of Europe so there is bound to be someone online on our website or in-game with whom to interact with. In fact we have high ranking positions that are filled by players in the United States as well as across Europe. (We still have many high ranking positions open and ready to be filled).

We offer opportunities and activities for both the casual and hard-core gamer alike. Everyone is welcome and we offer PvE in STF's and Fleet Actions, as well as PvP events, and even some light RP. We also have fleet activities where members can win great in-game prizes like ship boxes, keys, EC, and more. Again, we are also happy to house the "solo" player that just likes to play the episodes or foundry missions or just grind with their character. We sport an active website with forums, galleries, chat, and much more including voice chat to communicate with each other within the game. Feel free to have a look around www.libertytaskforce.com and make yourself at home. There is something here for everyone and we hope you join our Star Trek Online family community and we hope even more that you decide to join our fleet. Should you have any questions or comments don't hesitate to contact me directly at Info@LibertyTaskForce.com once again thank you for considering us. Take care.

Best Regards,
-Jose a.k.a Grayfox
Liberty Task Force Admiral

New Foundry Roundtable segment: Genesis Advice costume challenge

Greetings,

Sometime soon the Foundry Roundtable is going to start a new segment focused on how to (visually) design characters for Star Trek Online. Titled: "The Genesis Wardrobe: Creating Life From Lifelessness" I'll be tasked with creating a character on air according to a challenge prompt provided by anyone in the community. We'll then publish the sliders for you or anyone to use. The prompt could be anything from "create a Vulcan science officer" to "make me nightmare tentacle fiend from planet Zarg!" Canon or no, insane or sensible, for your own use or sheer entertainment value, we'd like to hear from you.

Why me? We'll I take an interest in character design and try to do the best I can with STO. Included in the spoiler tags below are a few examples of what I get up to (inside and out of the Foundry).

If you'd like to put my "skills" to use, or just have a laugh watching me struggle with your wildest suggestions, then leave a comment here or get in touch with us on twitter (the show: @FoundryRoundtab, me: @Gorgonops_SSF). Challenge results will be included here with every segment.

We look forward to your ideas.
