Look at the columns. You need to spend 33,000 in Tier1 skills before you can buy Tier 2 skills. The Max Space points just means you can't spend more than 80% of the points you have on only space skills.
What version of Direct X are you running?

Can you save the code for use in a few weeks? I'm quite far from Commander.

Not sure but I can't see why not, the promotion has been running for a couple of months already
When do we get to see Q again?
I am playing as an Engineer in Cruisers so this ship makes me happy.
The promo page says the codes are for new accounts only. Does it work if you already created your account and have playing for a while?

I entered it today and I created the account when it went F2P
I think as long as you're not subbed you're good to go
I bought the game originally at launch, so it says I have a history of 30 sub days. Would it work for me, since now I'm playing F2P?
What does that mean? What is that?

There's an event hour where the number of unreplicateables required for crafting is cut by 20%. It reduces the cost of some of the pricey crafted gear.

Is there anyway to show the key again? I wasn't a memember, so I when I clicked on get key it made me sign up, but once I did, it said I already got a key.
D'oh!
Edit:
Ah, click on account, then giveaway keys. Got it

Looks like that Cryptic are organising a community based small-craft PvP night this week. Bring along a shuttle, fighter, captain's yacht, runabout etc, and join in some private PvP instances.
Hope they make this a regular part of the game. Shuttle PvP can be really fun.

how so? what are unreplicable required?
Certain crafted items require "unreplicable" components, which you can buy for dilithium from the vendor, or trade for energy credits on the exchange. I think Mk 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 11 items need them.
Basically it ties the Dilithium economy into the crafting system.
I meant what is the bonus hour?
Oh, just makes the dilithium cost of unreplicable materials cheaper.
I just did this. It shows 1680 keys left, for me anyway.
Silly question, do the perks stick around after the 10 days if you're not subbed? I assume yes.

I don't think it's come up in this thread yet, but if anyone new to the game is interested, there is a tie-in book. It's definitely not required reading, but I enjoyed it more than the average reviewer. It covers a smattering of events between Nemesis and the start of Star Trek Online, so some of the things covered you may already have heard mentioned in-game in less detail. Some of the more memorable parts to me were about how Data ended up being revived in B-4, the way Undine infiltrators among the Gorn were exposed, and a man from the DTI with memories from alternate timelines (including those of the other Trek novels and the 2009 movie). It does make the Undine stuff seem like a bigger deal than you'd think from playing the game, though.
I get an error.Shorty11857

For anyone who is on the fence about the keys there's no harm in getting the key and if it doesn't work sending it to someone else
Anyway in the game is there any draw back to promoting my officers? Or should I just do it as soon as possible

Where do I redeem the key for that Alienware giveaway?
Edit: Nevermind, didn't see the instructions on the side of the page.
Awesome, now the stupid STO website isn't recognizing my password for validation. I can log in just fine though, WTF.

Go to: http://www.startrekonline.com/ >>> Log in >>> Go to the 'Support' drop down >>> Pick 'Redeem Key'
That's how I did it anyway. I'm sure there's something in the client too but I'm at work and can't check.

Log out, log back in, then go to redeem key and it should work. Same thing happened to me

So I've been playing as a tac captain in a cruiser and I gotta say that it's been pretty sweet. I've got heaps of survivability but I can still dish out a mess of damage with 6 phaser broadsides (in a heavy cruiser right now) so that I'll generally be a lead on damage during fleet actions.
Right now it feels like a rockin' cool balance, but is it going to backfire on me further on down the line?

I'm not an expert on optimal endgame setups, but I wouldn't worry too much--with changes made shortly before it went F2P, they got rid of most of the ways to overspecialize. It used to be that rather than generic upgrades that applied to all ships, you'd put points into categories specifically enhancing science vessels, or cruisers, or whatever. Then you really would get locked in to one type unless you wanted to use a respec token.
The Borg are pretty tough especially since you JUST made it to Upper Half, get some really good firepower and protection against things like Plasma and Antiproton weaponry and you'll go far, but it also helps to have a good team with you
I always knew it could happen, but it never really set in. Now though, it finally has hit home. Hard. One of my Duty Officers under my command died today.
On a mission...
A mission that failed...
A mission I sent him on...
Not only did a man die, he died for nothing as the mission failed. I tried to pick the best possible team. Using all their strengths and weaknesses, they had a 94% chance of a successful mission. I felt that was acceptable, that they could handle things, and I sent them out. Yet, he fell somewhere in that 6%. Did I do enough? Did I plan well enough? Did I give them the tools to succeed but something outside of my/their control happened? I'm awaiting the reports.
Until then, all I have are my doubts, this bottle of Aldebaran Whiskey, and a PADD which contains the start of a letter to his family.
I can't even tell them myself...face to face. I have to let a subspace message do it for me. Like a coward.
EDIT :::::
Actually now that I think about it, that would have had to have been a critical failure for the mission to fail and the guy to die, right? So the overall failure percentage is 6%, but the critical failure was probably in the 1-2% margin. Noooo!

Seriously! I sent 6%?! Dammit STO!" :lol Cest la vie, he was only a "common" with no special power.

Is there any way to check the rarity/quality of a bridge officer after you've already recruited them? I hate to eventually get rid of some of my originals, but it would be nice to have some better rare ones eventually. As long as there are some spare spots I think I'll at least keep the Andorian lady who first joined me.

Check their traits
Common have two standard, two basic
Uncommon have three standard, one basic
Rare have two standad, one basic, one superior
Very Rare have two standard and two superior
Usually happens to me at ESD. Waiting usually works, it will load eventually. I suspect it's due to player population overload in those hubs and perhaps f2p users are lower on the entry list.
