1) Sometimes in space combat my ship will become uncontrollable and sprint away from the battle, is this lag or some CC/fear effect?

2) Everything I read says I should be doing the faction story arcs, (Klingon civil war, romulan mystery, etc.) but they're all locked. I finished universe at large, and now all that's available is ultimate Klingon and the Terran arc. I've gotten to 45ish running patrols. What do?

We've temporarily blocked the Neotype Omni-Directional Cryonic Beam Array and the Neotype Cryonic Torpedo Launcher from being reclaimed due to a technical issue. We plan to turn them back on as soon as it's fixed!

Vulcan Suurok, NX material, Black Vesta/Corvus pattern, Pink Vanity Shield, Baleful Herald Vanity Deflector, Aegis Engines (not shown, but they are the main reason I went for the NX material - gives the ship blue impulse engines that match the blue aegis trails :-D)

Edit;Thank you everyone fir answering my questions

Having recently run "Facility 4028", part of the "Lost Dominion" arc, I noticed the dev team had updated Amar Singh's appearance in that mission to match the revised version we see in the new "The Ultimate Klingon" duology.

So, I decided to check out "The Doomsday Device" and I was a little disappointed to see that B'Vat hadn't likewise been updated there. He still has his old model.

This seems all the more incongruous when when considers that The 2800/Lost Dominion plot had been all but relegated to the ancillary "Galaxy At Large" side mission set, whereas "The Doomsday Device" is still a part of the mainline Klingon War story, the first one a new player will encounter.

His shifting appearance can be quite jarring, and I imagine it is especially so for a new player.

Are there any plans to update B'Vat's appearance in "The Doomsday Device", does anyone know?

Thanks.

Greetings,

I'm a new player looking for general advice from the legends around the community. I'm trying to outfit a Farragut Temporal Cruiser to be the best beam shooter it can be. My character is a TOS era character now in the current time and I understand I should be able to get TOS era equipment from Starbase K-13. How do I gain access to this base?

I also collected some other ships from the 60th Anniversary Prize Pack tokens based on other recommended equipment I have seen for phasers. I got the D.O.M.I.N.O. and the Dynamic Power Redistributor. I read I should look at the NX Refit console as well, does anyone have any thoughts on what I should be working towards to reach the goal of outfitting the ship with an epic quality TOS era phaser build that can tackle elite content.

I can't decide what to use my t-6 ship token on. There are so many cool ships! Im really torn between getting a new fun t6 Science vessel (like the Lexington), the Rhode Island/Equinox t-6 (cause the Quasar and Nova class is one of my all time favorite ships frames and Id like to have an actually flyable one), or the Dauntless class. Im rp'ing a science officer and trying to get back in. Right now I have a Vesta Class variant as my primary, and I want to save up energy credits for a Protostar if I can manage it, but im not likely to manage that before they're off the market. Any thoughts?

Done nice and early so I just need to decide what to spend my fortunes on now....

A Red Alert Event is up until the 23rd on PC. Complete 5 days to get an Ultimate Tech Upgrade and a Spec Point.

Hey folks! If you noticed the auto-loot feature that went live today on PC, enjoy the free preview! It was never meant to go live today, and isn't functioning as it's supposed to, so we'll be disabling it if we haven't already. If it seems partially-finished, that's why. :)

UPDATE: IGNORE ME! Whether we disabled the feature or not, the option was still there in the Options Menu. Thomas made the call that, since the option is visible, that we're going to keep it on. Please keep in mind, it is not a finished feature, but have fun and give us your feedback. :)

One thing that does disappoint me about the consoles of the T1-4 and even some T5 ships is that while they have really cool consoles (Picard Manoeuvre from the Constellation, Anti-Matter Spread from the Venture, etc), ultimately since they don’t have passive traits it makes them impractical to run on anything higher.

Example, let’s take the Warp Burst Capacitor from the Constellation:

Picard Maneuver
Create Warp Mirage Decoy
Become Untargetable for 5 sec
+15% Damage Bonus for 5 sec
Creates a duplicate at current location for 5 sec
Teleport 6.0km straight forward
1 min recharge

This is currently how it works. I like the ability but I think we can add a passive to it.

Here’s my addition:
Passive:
+5 Maximum Weapon Subsystem Power
+5 Maximum Engine Subsystem Power
-10% Weapon Firing Mode Ability Cooldown (applies to all firing modes, FAW, CSV, THY, Torp Spread, etc)

If you guys have any other ideas for how to expand on the T1-5 Consoles please post comments. Also I know this isn’t likely to happen but it would be nice to be able to use some of the flashier moves from the shows/movies without basically sacrificing a console slot.

Note on today's maintenance: This was just a restart, and there are no patch notes on any platform.

In the conference at Khitomer why is this group of Caitian officers wearing uniforms with baby blue, periwinkle, and pink colours instead of the standard red/blue/yellow?

Good morning, carrier Captains!

I am working on a personal fan project involving my latest ship obsession, the Ark Royal-class carrier. I want to model the fighter bays, perhaps with an animated launch procedure. Maybe I'll even try making an MSD. Who knows!

I know the red circled doors are the fighter bays as there is the alternate skin that has these open with forcefields.

What are the blue circled rectangles? They seem too deliberate to be meaningless decoration. Are they recovery bays?

Has anyone come across an internal schematic of the Ark Royal either official or fan-made?

Don't get me wrong, I love the ease recently of getting daily event progress with the DSEs, but does she really have to introduce herself every time? Assuming you grabbed the mission to do 3 of the DSEs she will introduce herself 3 times in the intended gameplay loop like we have never met.

I'm completely stuck as both my main and bank inventory are maxed out so I can't even properly accept event rewards anymore unless I destroy past (reclaimable) rewards just to free up a few slots, only to end up running into the same issue

Creating an offer manually doesn't seem to work either, as I've attempted doing so for 495+ dil per zen and waiting 24 hours between each attempt produced no results

The last time I successfully exchanged dil into zen was 5 months ago, and I guess something just broke in the meantime?

Are cryptic aware of this issue at all?

Mentioned to a friend about sto and they see some videos of people using 2 accnts on 1 pc. Is it legal? Legal unless u get caught? They won't do it if its not legal, doesn't wanna risk being caught either but a lot of games have the rule against it and I cant seem to find a solid answer from google. Ty!

Saw a couple other Shangri-La kitbashes, figured I'd show off my own. Gotta say, even without the reshade preset, I'm always impressed out pretty this game can look

Shangri-La body, neck, and pylons, Excalibur nacelles, and Vesper Saucer. I think Constitution windows (don't have it in front of me) and Type 8 or 8a Material (again, not in front of me), but with a NexusMods that replaces that material with a TMP-era texture closer to Star Trek VI

Meanwhile my bridge officer is all "My eyes are up here, buddy"

Is anyone else having issues when changing from space to ground or loading into social maps. Started maybe two weeks ago. Loading TFOs and DSEs arent an issue.

Title is the question. Is there a way to get that?

Hello Captains!

Leading this time with a reminder that if you have any questions about the exchange itself or a particular order, just reply or reach out directly!

We’ve had a mostly normal week on the dilithium exchange. Let’s look at the graph and metrics first and then I’ll get into what I mean by “mostly.”

My most recently accepted offer was made August 28. Let's compare August 22 - August 28 to August 15 - August 21. The only notes I have for these time periods are record lows for throughput on August 21 and August 24.

Week over Week:

Let’s talk about the word “mostly.” As I’ve said time and again, changes in throughput mostly mimic changes in the queue. As you can see from the week over week, throughput and queue length trended away from each other. Hold on hold on. I don’t think this has anything to do with Icon Packs, just let me know if you want to get into why. Anyway you can see this visually if you glance back up at the graph. You can see a dip toward the end of the black line where there’s a climb directly above on the blue line. That short deviation over the course of 2-3 days basically caused a traffic jam that skewed the averages for the entire week. Deviations like this are fairly common, but mostly, they don’t leave a ripple like this. No, I don’t think this has to do with Icon Packs, and I am ready to go if you want to get into it in the comments. 

Seeing as how I don’t think that deviation is going to have a long term effect, here’s the forecast!
Short Term Forecast:

Long Term Forecast:

Honorary mention goes to offers started September 22, which right now I anticipate coming in on November 8, +/- 4 days. This will be the first day of orders fully under the influence Icon Packs. It’s key to remember that we’re already three weeks out from their introduction. That means for any currently pending transaction, roughly half of that wait time was under the influence of Icon Packs. Time will tell, but that mostly explains why I don’t think they’re shifting things. 

Initial the last 14 transactions were posted as proof that my numbers weren’t just pulled out of the wormhole. Having gone to great lengths to show that they were not, I’m going to trim that content from these posts unless there seems to be some popular demand. This time I leave you with a question. Are you buying Zen for something specific or are you keeping it on hand for the next drop? 🖖 💥

... for me it's kinda both.
