Finally got a chance to enter the fleet action of the Crystalline Entity. It is frustrating because no one knows what to do at first. But once you figured it out you get frustrated again because some randoms join the instance and mess it up.

Tried this yesterday night. Skirts are still a no-show.

General

* Fixed a crash that was happening often on high traffic social maps like Earth Space Dock.
* Made some improvements to ease lag during peak play times. We will continue to monitor and are working on additional performance increases.
* It has been very difficult to find rare anomalies in Star Clusters. We have put in a fix to ensure that all anomalies have a better chance of being scanned and discovered. This should also help improve Memory Alpha trade.
* Lower level repeatable missions no longer show on your remote contact options unless you are in the area where they take place. For example, if you are in Cardassian space, you will no longer see Grall in your remote contacts asking you if you want to explore Delta Volanis.
* Crystalline Entity is no longer located at sector XXX, system YYY. We now tell you the proper sector block to find the Fleet Action in.
* There was a UI bug with the Science Bridge Officer power “Dampening Field I” in the skills window. Based on the skills UI, it looked like the skill had been incorrectly training into the Commander-rank slot instead of the LT commander slot. If this has happened to you, you may not have two powers. We are working on a future automated fix which will clear this up. Additionally, we are working on another version of Dampening Field which will be a Commander power which will be introduced into the game in a future patch, and we’ll remove the LT Commander version from the store at that time.
* Some players had acquired ships that were not slotting properly as ships and showing up as bridge officers instead. A fix has been put in that will fix these characters up when they log in.
* Pre-order bonus TOS Federation uniforms now come with skirt options.
* Added missing files to improve French and German translations of game text.
* The Borg were showing up in the B’Tran Star Cluster in missions they should not have had access to, which lead to un-Borg like mission text and behaviors. If you do encounter the Borg in this Star Cluster, the mission will be more appropriate.
* Auto-teaming was not working properly in some sectors. We’ve addressed this issue so that auto-teaming should now function across all sectors.
* Some players were not getting credit for defeating the Doomsday Machine in the Imaga System. This mission has been updated so that all players should have credit for completing the mission regardless of whether they closed the last mission dialog box or not.
* Two new Video Options were added in the prior patch to help deal with overheating issues: Limit Frame Rate and Reduce CPU/GPU Usage. These are available under Options | Video | Advanced | Troubleshooting.
* Frame Rate defaults are now limited to 60fps.
* Also released in the last patch, players who had purchased Pre-Order costume bonuses may now apply those bonus costumes to their bridge officers.
* Ramming Speed was updated to cap modifiers based on speed of ramming ship. We also improved the damage formula to use the smaller vessel's HP as the base, modified by speed and size ratio between both ships involved. In general, ramming similar or smaller sized ships can be tactically beneficial, ramming larger ships becomes a self-sacrificing last resort.
* Emergency Power to Engines - When used in a specific sequence with Evasive Maneuvers, the speed modifier from this ability was improperly applied so that it was multiplied by Evasive Maneuvers. It should no longer matter which order you use these two abilities in - they will stack, but not multiply.

There you go Doc, these next set of patch notes should cheer you up.

Sweet Patchnotes!

Omg... I so need that.

What the hell is wrong with PvP? Do Klingons win every time?

 

[derFeef]

Hm, Skirts look, hm... they are okay for my BO´s but my female Vulcan main is not getting this. Lt. Grall still has missions for me, so this part of the patch is not working.

 

[Sinatar]

People that have absolutely no content but PvP are better at it then the carebears in the federation? Shock & Awe I say.

Of course they win all the time.

 

[Walshicus]

Klingon starting equipment is really good. But once you move into Tier 2, things balance out. I've got a 10 to 1 KtD ratio so far from PvP just from playing *smartly* and knowing when to run. Combining Evasive Manuevers with full engine power, and then cloaking can really save your bacon.

Feds probably get better powers, and *usually* the benefit of numbers.

Taking advantage of my joined trill sexiness in skirt.

This is the greatest news ever. All is right with the world.

EDIT: They aren't working for my BOFFs? What gives.

Is the option not showing up in the tailor menu, or is it just not applying the changes to your boff after you've made the purchase? It worked fine for most of my boffs, but for one of them the changes didn't show up on the boff list in the tailor menu. It was still applied to the boff though, showed up fine on the bridge and in away missions.

The option simply isn't there. I get all the pants options at the tailor but no skirts for all my Boffs.

EDIT: Seems to be working now.

Been trying to get some Dominion action here. The Vorta came out quite well:

Though the Jem Hadar could do with a little bit of work:

Flying in Style now.

 

[Zzoram]

PvP is brutal. The ones I've played, when you respawn it can be anywhere, so it's really hard to regroup since everyone is usually outside sensor range and you have to fly blindly until you find allies. This is especially hard for Federation players because Klingons can cloak to move safely, and ambush these lone Federation ships.

It's even worse when you enter PVP areas before anyone else, or queue up for an area that is supposed to have equal players, but only you show up and 5 klingons :lol

Yeah, I was really digging it as a Klingon player but going back to it as a Fed? It's a nightmare!

At the very least they should balance out the huge weaponry advantage the Klingons get with some weaker shields. I could take down Lt. Cmdrs in the starting Bird of Prey!

 

[Ashodin]

server's up. Got a new patch, but nothing on the website about it. Huh.

 

[British Monsoon]

Server's back down again, fucking bullshit. Also, I find it incredibly retarded that Cryptic has an article thanking UK customers for making the game No. 1 in the PC charts, yet we're the one's lumbered with the 11AM-1PM GMT server maintainance every damn time - couldn't they at least share the downtime around a bit?

 

[Bru]

Oops, try Greal@Greal thanks

I tried to invite you to GAF Fleet too Sangreal... will try the above (unless Lonewolf has already done it)

Just wish I could log on to the server, currently stuck on "Retrieving list of characters" :-(


Edit: Invite sent!

Apparantly that last patch wasn't supposed to have been released...

Huh, I wondered why there wasn't any patch notes for it - guess that explains why. Pretty amateurish.

Incidently, some guy on the STO forums has made a firefox extension that checks the STO server status every 5 minutes;

It's up again!

 

[Mr. Luchador]

So you guys are a few weeks into retail release now, how are you finding it? Is it progressed well since beta? Does it feel any more like an MMO? Do you feel you're beginning to get near the end of the natural progression? Has the game built up a feeling of endgame (not the Star Trek episode).

I say the with no hostility toward anyone here who this applies to... but if you've reached the end-game content already you *need* more to do with your time.

I've been playing two to three hours a day and I'm still in my starting ship with the Feds and five levels up as a Klingon. With open-teaming on it seems like an MMO.

I'm enjoying it. Helps if you like PvP.

I don't know what I've been doing wrong... since I first created my first character, i tried to make a Jem'Hadar with the customizable alien features, it looks sort of like one but with none of the facial spikes so it just looks weird... I wish i could edit my character after the fact...can I? Probably not...

You can edit all of your characters facial/body/costume features at the tailor It costs a bit much though.

When I get the chance I can post the settings I used for Mattakan [pic higher up on this page].

And the borg won

OK! I'm a Lieutenant Commander not, and ready for a fleet.

Ok, trying to do 'Doomsday Device' on your own bad idea. But I had an awesome time with the Guardian of Forever.

Also, does anyone have any invitation cards they aren't going to use. I have a friend that would love them!

That Doomsday mission was so boring, sadly. With all the hype in this thread I suspected something big. But it was 5 minutes with nothing special. Maybe I was lucky (unlucky?)

Inventation cards? What are those?

 

[Guardian Bob]

Inventation cards? What are those?

10 day trials that were bundled with the collectors edition. I would love to give one to my friend.

I think there was also some Del Taco promo, but I live in Canada so don't know anything about that.

 

[Winterblink]

I fear getting out of my ship at a major stardock. The game flips to a low memory crappy texture mode that I can never get out of unless I shut the game off and restart. Bleh

 

[Guardian Bob]

Why do I sometimes fire more than one torpedo, without skills? Is that a glitch or is there some luck factor?

It's a glitch and it's only graphical, you're still only shooting one.

Thats a shame. I thought I was kicking ass. :lol

PVP is broke as far as i'm concerned. Klingons are overpowered.

No they're not, feds just need to coordinate much better. Stick together, and realize that they want you to attack the first one that decloaks.

Jem'Hadars are not easy to do. I tried for a day, gave up, and then did pretty well the next day.

Yeah, you're right. Had a come-back game where we played like that.

And I LOVE the escort class. I went with a Cruiser during the beta because I loved the look of the Constitution Class refit from the movies, but escort is so nimble and fun.

:lol USS Surprise

My guess is that wasn't random.
