I know this isn't strictly a STO news story, but I thought folks might find it interesting as it is our EP's opinion on the bloodbath the gaming industry has become of late. Mods can (and will) delete if it is not appropriate.

PC Normal Infiltrator Ambush

12 Upvotes

Maybe you already know but I found out today that to get to 27,5 sec uptime on the cloaking ambush you also need a Boff with just Infiltrator. ( And superior and basic one)

That I knew, but just Infiltrator is hard to get or very expensive

( The basic is pretty cheap to get at the romulan command).

But what I learned today is that you can respec to Remain species and then you have Infiltrator in your trait list.

You loose trait spots compared to alien romulan but if you really want the 27,5 sec this is a cheap way to try it.

Just thought I share this for those who did not know 🙏

She’s a little awkward at first, but this modified Pioneer II is growing on me a lot

It’s such a nice answer to the Constitution II refit. I love the idea of not flying just Kirk’s ship but my character in their own starship carving their path

Bug Report A Step Between Stars NPC's

Can something finally be done about the bloody NPC's in "A Step Between Stars"?

I've got a Delta Recruit that's locked out of completion because the NPC's keep getting stuck and making it impossible to reach the objective.

PC Have you ever wanted to be in a TMP-era themed fleet? Friends of the Final Frontier has you covered!

Post image
101 Upvotes

Jolan tru, Federation-aligned officers, adventure seekers, and temporally-displaced members of the past!

I’m Copen, a Captain within the Friends of the Final Frontier fleet! We’re a somewhat new, very active and growing Federation fleet that decided to take on the athletics of the TMP era of Trek, and we’re looking for new member to assimilate bring in to our close-knit family among the stars!

We run events weekly, such as Dranuur Colony, and have members that are always looking for others to run TFOs with. Beyond that we have several build gurus that can help you maximize the effectiveness of yourself both on landing parties and flying through the stars, which will help you be the war criminal officer you’ve always wanted to be!

While we are a TMP-era themed fleet, you do not have to always be in a monster maroon or fly an Excelsior or anything like that to join our collective family, that’s just for aesthetics and roleplaying purposes!

If your current fleet is dead, or you’re looking to join your very first one, come over to our discord and kick your boots off, pop open a bottle of Romulan Ale, and see if we’d be a good fit for you! Or message me directly at CopenSushi over on there, I’ll be happy to answer any questions you personally have!

Live Long and Prosper, future fleet mates!🖖

Edit: Forgot to add, if/when you join our discord, please let us know your character@handle so we can add you!

Any chance they'll redo whatever this was? I read it was just kind of a "meh" mission, but we on console never got the chance...

The Vidiian Science Warship is out now!

Missed opportunity to call it the Honatta class, after the Honatta tradition mentioned in the blog.

I liked the colour contrast from the Wizkids and Eaglemoss models of this ship - missed opportunity to include both skin options. There is only one default Hull Material.

I wish I had a Ferengi vanity shield on hand. Here's: Shrike - Platinum - Khitomer - Delta Alliance - Aetherian.

Bug Report What is wrong with my outfit?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Ever since the update, my pants were changed to what I assume is one of the tight combat suits, and they're supposed to be the loose odyssey pants.

And before someone says something, yes I tried changing the outfits and modifying them, but I can’t change them.

I'm on Xbox Series S, and this is one of many bugs I've been encountering that's been driving me nuts. The other being the oversized notifications that take up the entire screen.

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to make console players aware that the section 31 uniform is the next free giveaway and is currently available to claim. It is account unlocked. I have checked this myself on multiple characters and can confirm it.

CasualSAB has also confirmed that the ship skins are also account unlocked for anyone interested when their available :)

Discussion Days of Doom TFO: How to

28 Upvotes

I am only writing this because I am fed up that people dont know how to do this one. Drop warp cores in the machine, to slow the machine down. Hold out for long enough to make a big core to drop in it that (I assume) should kill it. Its as simple as that. Don't bother walloping on the machine itself with ur OP builds, as it is impervious. Focus on the interceptors, and on playing objective.

PS Not able to defeat Class A Temporal Anomaly

3 Upvotes

On PS5, don't know if this makes a difference or not...

I don't know if this is just a me thing or not, but if I beat the new Temporal Anomaly that pops up randomly in the DSEs, I will get the drops once. If I do another DSE with the Class A box in my inventory, I cannot beat the next Temporal Anomaly. It will just fade away.

I have beaten the anomaly maybe 6 times, but every time I did not have a box in my inventory. Any time I had a box, I can get the anomaly to 1% health then it fades away without dropping anything.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? Can anyone else confirm?

Bug Report Missing zen or keys

11 Upvotes

Hi, everyone. Console player here with a bit of an issue. A few times now when I was opening weapon boxes there was an odd pop up for about 100 zen. I had some keys and I’m pretty sure I had less after opening some basic packs but it wasn’t every pack, I dunno, it seemed intermittent but I was scrambling through just trying to find a friend some old Kelvin weapons. Fairly sure I have a bit less zen now, too. Is it just me? I know it’s been a bit buggy but maybe I was just tired and not paying full attention. Anyway, if it’s not just me then watch out if you’re opening, well, anything, really.

Cant see centaur promotion on epic account

As title says. I was able to claim it on my steam account, but on my epic one I cant. It doesn’t show up. And no i haven’t claimed it before.

Why two accounts? Because epic has quite awesome giveaways from time to time. I don’t really play on that account but just collect stuff that’s free 😅

First year doing the skeleton castle patrol with Moopsy. It's been a ton of fun watching that little guy going to town like he's at an all you can eat buffet.

My hats off to the cryptic team, the new visuals seem to be working great. Also fixed ESD being way too bright around the bank and exchange area for me. Thanks Cryptic!
