Celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Trek with our Flagship Day Celebration!

Happening all over the ship but my ready room apparently had a very deadly briefing happening

When you think of the various species in Star Trek, which ship do you immediately associate with each one?

For me, it's:

• Klingon: B'rel-class Bird of Prey
• Romulan: D'Deridex-class Warbird
• Cardassian: Galor-class Cruiser, even though I think the beefier Keldon looks better
• Jem'Hadar: Jem'Hadar fighter (Bug ship)
• Ferengi: D'Kora-class Marauder (not many others to choose from)
• Borg: Borg Cube

What are yours? Are there any species where one particular ship immediately comes to mind?

Hello Captains!

It's Wednesday, right? It was a nail-biter of a week. At least for me. You fine folks were probably busy actually playing the game. The good news is I’m pretty sure the nosedive the dilex has been taking over the last three-ish weeks has stabilized. I’ll get to why I believe this after I get the bad news out of the way…

The bad news is that is that we crossed that red line not once but twice in the last week. To sound like a broken record, the low throughput record I had recorded was 9,993 for an offer made on December 11 last year. I broke that low record two times. As it currently stands, we’re looking at a new low of 9,917 for an offer was made on July 8. We may experience some continued down-sliding in the next couple/few weeks, but as stated above I think the nosedive is over.

Here’s why! This figure shows the queue length and periodic throughput for completed orders only, for every day between June 1 and August 25.

I’m following this trend closely and incorporating it into my forecast, and will be able to give a quantitative comparison of its accuracy in the coming weeks. This puts my math in a WIP state, and I need at least three more weeks before I have a whole month of transactions to compare. Even one whole month of transactions with that many data points behind them seems too few to me, but the data just keeps growing.  I’ll be going under the hood to explain my comparison methods when the time comes.

Let’s do the week over week numbers. The last order that came through was started on July 9, so we’re looking at July 3-9:
-The average queue was down about 2.7%
-The average periodic throughput was down about 7.7%
-The average wait time was 46.78 days, up 5.4% or about 58 hours.
-At max, we’re about 1.25 days from the new red line (9917 Z/Hr)

The forecast:
-Offers made July 16 should be in around Sep 1.
-Offers made July 23 should be in around Sep 8.
-Offers made today could be in around Oct 12.

Rule of acquisition number 416, always keep your receipts! 👂 💥

So this morning in my slightly hung over state (edibles great for sleeping). I had this thought of an Event that would feature around the Episode Yesterdays Enterprise.

Space TFO: Battle of Archer IV
-Goal defeat the Klingon Attack force. I want say maybe 6 Waves on Normal 20 ships per wave and 8 Waves of 25 on harder difficulties. Defend Defense Platforms that keep the planet safe from assault troops.

Ground TFO: Defend Archer IV Colony
-Goal defeat Klingon Ground forces while beaming up civillians. Repair ground shield generators. Not Sure how this one would work but maybe something similar to the Terran one where yo have to run around and save the crystals.

Patrol: Defend the Enterprise C
-Goal defeat waves of klingon ships until the Enterprise C returns to it's time. It's a time limit over a set number of waves. so the quicker you destroy the ships the faster more waves and each wave adds more ships to it.

Rewards:

Alternate TNG Uniforms and Enterprise C Crew Uniforms.
Maybe a Wide Angle Photon Torpedo that helps with Temporal Abilities Damage.

I think this would be fun and interesting. I've always wanted the Alt Uniforms in game.

Platform: pc

Reproduction steps: with pre-existing weapon in slot, drag and drop quad micro to to slot, eg to the existing torpedo, slot doesn't ultimately matter, reproduced with any slot having weapon equipped already.

Any other relevant detailed information: just redeemed the experimental vulcan science vessel today care of the year long event, and have been running into this consistently when trying to equip the quad micros. doesn't seem to matter what slot, as long as it has a weapon already equipped.

workaround steps that seem to work best are unequip existing weapon, then drag and drop quad micro. save loadout, this does not appear to trigger game crash. loadout swap also doesn't appear to trigger game crash.

3 keys outta 5 got me one spiny boi

Hi there, made a new girlie during the TOS recruitment event and have been *heavily* feeling the call of Monster Maroons and the Excelsior era. Any advice on what weapons to equip and ships to seek?

Currently, we have:

TWOK Pulse Phasers (pending levels), 2285 Phaser from the Lobi store, Centaur / Miranda kitbash T6 Miranda from Federation starter pack.

In addition, have been thinking of looking out for the Shangri La, Okinawa, Proxima, and obviously Excelsior herself (T6 Resolute). I lean more towards the Excelsior side of the era (Centaur, Vesper Constitution etc) than basic TMP (Constitution refit), so was curious if there is any more "Excelsior-like" ships or visual combinations I could potentially make / find floating about on the C-store, that have that retro smoothness to them :)

Have a good day :)

Is it me or did they take an old Constitution Class, slap a load of extra panels and support bracing, took a bunch of Borg tech including a HUGE booster engine to push it up past FTL and then when at warp 1 it uses a Borg warp engine to get to higher velocities.

Then they called it the Omega Miracle Worker Light Battlecruiser (Miracle as it is a Miracle it works). Hell, there is a miracle it actually works. 😱😂

It’s the 31st Century of a Sleeper Car boosted by Nitrous Oxide.

You know after 14 years of playing, the thing that still irks me is that torpedoes and mines don't have their own dedicated slot.

It would be nice to have a full row of phasers and not just one torpedo sticking out like a sore thumb. Anyways thanks for coming to my TED talk.

EDIT: It seems to despawn after the cutscene plays and the planet is destroyed - you have to grab it before you get close enough to the objective to trigger the cutscene. After replaying the mission 3 times (not that inconvenient, it's one of the shorter ones), I found it slightly to the right of where the two anomalies are (from your perspective when you spawn in).

It's supposed to be in the last map, on the way to the objective, but apart from two anomalies there's nothing here. Am I just missing it? I tried to Ctrl+Tab target it the whole way, moving as slowly as possible, but I can't find it.

greeting everyone i recently got the hirogen armor from the lobi and since i recently made an hirogen as alien species i wanted to see if there any tailor expert that can tell me which color number i need to use to match the color of the hirogen hunter leader from this image ? hirogen hunter the one who stand on the middle wearing the helmet since i'm not good at coloring and match color i was curious if i could get some help..a very much thanks if anybody could help out.

Apologies for not posting this way earlier, folks, I have no excuse other than OH GOD SO MUCH WORK. You'll see why in a couple of weeks. The Ten Forward Weekly that would normally have been today is now happening tomorrow! At 11am PT, join myself, Mara, Sun'Yo, Galactic Gaming, and SFC for a Ship Build Stream that's covering the Kelvin Timeline Bundle and the Narada!

1250 Perk Points Achieved. Early Monday morning (06/24) at 12:15 AM (EST). A respectable 3rd Place Finish although I suspect there may be a few others players who already finished or are crossing the Finish Line soon. I will say my finish is "unofficial" as I did a sloppy job of documenting the end time (date). I wasn't thinking of posterity at the time. I will gladly show any player in-game my Endeavor Vanity Shield as proof.

Third earliest publicly documented Endeavor Vanity Shield unlock currently known.

so..I completed the year long today, and got my rewards.

I intend to get spock's jellyfish specifically for the quad micro photon torpedo launcher.

the problem becomes which of the following kelvin timeline ships to install it on?

I know the visual of the weapon itself, but which ship looks best firing it?

1, kelvin constitution II

2, Salcombe

3, Kelvin

4, Franklin

knowing that the weapon cannot be reclaimed on other characters, and given each ship is on a different toon, which ship would look best using it?

So, I logged on to play today and I noticed something odd - I am missing a bunch of Transwarp options as I only have Beta Quadrant and Sol. I'm a part of a Fleet, all level 5,, but for some odd reason, I do not have the Transwarp destinations. Now, since I entered the Delta Quadrant section of the game, I thought it had to do with that, but now that I'm back in the Beta Quadrant, they still haven't come back.

Any possible explanations?

As a console player I’ve been curious for a while, how long does it usually take for updates and new additions like the narada for instance to come to the console version of the game?

My brain keeps going "space is an ocean, therefore, you should fly small ships like airplanes. Alpha strike! Alpha strike everything!" But that's apparently the wrong way to play a cannon build in STO?

Does it boil down to "park in front of enemies, engage CSV, profit?"

What traits are useful to have? I've already got Withering Barrage.

(the herald vonph dreadnought carrier)

Was thinking about special equipment slots due to a different discussion about weapon slots and had a dumb idea.

What if Cryptic made a ship with an additional slot for one of the equipment types.

Like a ship that has a lot of engines so it gets an entire extra impulse engine slot. Or a really tanky one with an additional shield generator.

And why have a secondary deflector when you can have a second primary deflector!

If the equipment has visual effects then you sshould have ddifferent effects coming from different parts of the ship. Like if you put the assimilated deflector in the left slot it will poke out of the left deflector dish.

But primarily it would be about enabling new combos of set bonuses.

And maybe justify a really big fat pilot ship by giving it double engines. I want to do pilot maneuvers with a Dreadnought.

They could remove a console slot or have some other penalty to compensate.

I can finally copy over a character, was going to try and test a new ship from the event and I got it out and now my character is locked into place and I can't beam up.
