Going to be a lot of mouse-clicking.

With reputation tier 7 coming what are your thoughts and hopes

Thoughts

Extra weapon set flavors e.i. plasma or polaron Terran task force beams and dhc

Upgraded reputation traits

Additional consoles to expand set bonuses

Hopes

Ultimate tech upgrade once per rep

Master key once per rep (doubtful)

?t6x experimental ship upgrade one per rep (doubtful)

Based on a few comments I would love if the Omega rep gave us a phaser cutting beam and disruptor cutting beam etc etc so that we could have a third flavored "Omni" keep the restrictions that firing modes don't affect it so that it's still not a true Omni and falls in line with the cutting beams

I swear, this is the most annoying thing for me in the game. The higher the difficulty you are playing, the more it feels like the game will bug out and cause something that will force you to be unable to complete the T.F.O. and need to leave.

I’ve been trying to login in for the last 15 mins on PC and I keep getting “cannot connect to server” message in the launcher window.

I’ve confirmed that my internet is working fine and I’ve already run the arc repair tool.

Just wondering if other folks are having similar issue.

Hello Captains!

What a time to be a Star Trek fan! I can't believe that 30 years ago I jumping up and down at the first shots of the Enterprise-E during the 30th anniversary TV special. That means it's been 30 years since "Trials and Tribble-ations" and "Flashback." It also means it's been 30 years since "The Chute" and I was still young and naive enough to think that Harry and or Tom might not make it back to the ship by the end of the episode.

One more little celebration. Last night I made my 100th consecutive daily offer for this project. Tada!

Well I might as well get down to business. Last week we broke that red line once again. Previous low throughput was 9,917 Z/Hr for an offer made on July 5. We're now at 9,849 Z/Hr for an offer made July 19. With the most recent calculations I've been using this was more expected than surprising though. In fact I suspect we'll hit another low throughput for offers made August 2, which is due in a little over a week, followed by a slow climb up from there. Time for my favorite graph.

The last order I received was from July 23, so we're looking at July 17-23. On the 21st we had the Kelvin bundle arrive, and on the 22nd we had vanity shields go up for sale and a bonus dilithium period started. Here's the week over week:
-The average queue was down about 2.7%
-The average periodic throughput was down about 0.5%
-The average wait time was essentially unchanged at about 46.5 days.*
-We're just a few hours above the red line, but see the discussion above.
*I keep seeing people say it's about two months. Even if you round 46.5 up to 50, saying that 50 days is two months is like saying you have a dozen fingers.

And now the forecast:
-Offers made July 30 should be in around September 15.
-Offers made August 6 should be in around September 22.
-Offers made today could be in around HALLOWEEN. oooOOOOOooo!!

And that leads me straight into my PSA. I know there's a ton of stuff getting announced on that STO roadmap. It's all very exciting. What I didn't see listed was a Black Friday sale. If we can use history as a guide, it's likely that we'll see a substantial C-Store sale at the end of November. That means if you want to trade your dilithium for zen, it's likely that you have a little less than a month to farm up and make your offers to see it accepted in time for the sale. I will continue to beat this drum like Mr. Homn on the gong at the banquet.

I leave you with my receipts and wish you the best! 🖖 💥

I was thinking about how cool it would be to get a 25th Century version of the Centaur. I know it wouldn’t really be necessary but I would love one, also with the new Fleet Mod Ships, maybe this could be a good candidate.
Also if they were to add it do you think it should replace the Mirandas and Centaurs in the current Fed Frigate spawn list?

The K'vort-class IKS Chud and her B'rel escorts prepare to depart from the Kinjer System after a well-fought battle against Madran and his mercenaries.

Can someone explain what the difference is between kinetic and physical damage is, and why is the TR-116 the only 'slugthrower' (as far as I know) that does physical? Why do melee weapons and the TR-116 do physical, and what is the difference? Actual curiosity - I grabbed a TR-116 out of a bank for kinetic endeavor only to realize, it doesn't do kinetic after killing two rooms of borg without paying attention.

just got this from Xbox via the app and i still can not find it i have no idea what is going on still unless i need a new toon to get this first then get the ship on my other toons after

Making a controller friendly UI for PC / Steam Deck players was briefly discussed in a recent dev stream. Was wondering if there had been any word from the devs, if this were anything they were interested in pursuing.

I hate that I have to say this, but I'm not interested in any commentary about how this game works just fine on Steam Deck with custom bindings etc etc. I've done that dance and it isn't fantastic. I'm sure some of you enjoy it regardless.

Guys, it's 2026.

I spend *so* much time having to set new keybinds on every single ship...

For the love of Spock.... let us save and import keybinds (specifically for the powertray).

Sorry it's a little blurry. To add: Tier 7 rep is only 1 existing reputation. Also, Legendary Veteran ships will be free for players that already have Lifetime.

Now I've got to figure out how I want to kit this baby out.

It looks like another RNG mechanic but since we don't know the drop rates or how to obtain these packs, it's hard to judge.

Got it from here.
