PC Kitbashed Donnie with a more classic TOS look

59 Upvotes

Just like the Damocles, I really like how the Donnie looks with the Type-0 hull. On top of that the Legendary Donnie has a few parts that give it an even more TOS look (straight pylons, closed bridge dome).

Don't get me wrong I like the Donnie as is but I love being able to kitbash a cool 'what if' look!

It's near Sol, has all the Star Trek Day ships. Guess this where they'll be now instead of Sol and DS9.

Since they’re trying to go back on their promise I’m at least screenshotting this.

It’s a buck or so but I don’t care. Regardless of how it came about that the promise was made, dishonesty is dishonesty

Discussion Developer Request: Please remove the player count restrictions from the Defera Ground Invasion Zone missions.

27 Upvotes

Right now there is a minimum player count required to start the Hard difficulty ground missions, such as [Getting to the Bottom of Things](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Power_Plant:_Getting_to_the_Bottom_of_Things_(episode)) and [Counter Offensive](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Probe:_Counter_Offensive_(episode)) that have Accolades tied to them.

These missions are easy to solo, but there is currently no way to do so, and the RNG nature of these specific Accolades make it very challenging to find others willing to grind it out, especially with the 20-hour mission cool down. While I'm asking, any chance that timer could be shortened as well? I know, I know, choosy beggar...

Anyway, just a QOL update to remove these restrictions would be very appreciated, that's all. Thanks!

P.S. Anyone wanting to try to grind these Accolades out on Xbox in the meantime, send me a DM!

Hi everyone, Just noticed a visual update to the engine texture when at full impulse. It now emits this orange-yellow gaseous texture. I like the idea of updated reputation visuals. The Omega set needs it badly!

Frontier Day Bundle Bugs - 550 Zen and missing Vulcan Cybernetics for guys

41 Upvotes

Just an FYI, the Crop Top hair and cybernetics (Vulcan Cybernetics Set) for guys are unobtainable, despite being advertised. Also, the bundle costs 550 Zen instead of the discount 440 which I didn't notice. Don't buy it like I did, wait for a patch. Everything else is showing up, including ships, officer and the 3 keys.

A couple months ago I asked if there was a way to get a deferi cruiser in Star Trek online, there isn't a playable one. But there is a hologram that will turn your ship into one.... I bought four.

Playstation Captains - the shard will be unlocking soon, so you can play. The unfortunate news is, there was an issue with the update and the build that just went live on PC and Xbox will not be going to Playstation today. We plan to update later in the week, and all events that you would miss days on will be extended.

Weird PC issue right now ( a bunch of Chromium Windows popping up)

35 Upvotes

I'm on Windows, and as of this morning, the game is unplayable. As soon as it launches, browser windows keep popping up. The game loses focus, and the browser windows keep coming every second or two. In my task manager I sees a bunch of Chromium instances under an Arc Overlay process and Arc Window Renderer background processes.

I don't suppose anyone has seen this before?

EDIT - darnit, the update is done and this is still happening.

I got the new freighter. It's neat and I named it courageous. But what does it do? What is it for? I'm already past tier 4 ships. Please tell me it's not going to be like the ambassador class. An absolutely gorgeous ship that I can't use cuz I'm too far into the game.

Bug Report Frontier Day Bundle doesn't seem to unlock the ECS Prefix.

13 Upvotes

Hey gang,

I remember the Kobiyashi Maru freighter, in it's event run, would unlock the "Earth Cargo Ship" prefix for the rest of your ships once you unboxed it. This doesn't seem to be the case for the one in the bundle today. Hoping it gets fixed!

Bug Report radiolytic phaser cannons/turrets SFX now obnoxiously loud

9 Upvotes

Platform: PC

Reproduction steps: just equip radiolytic phaser cannons/turrets, go into any space combat. start firing. SFX is now obnoxiously loud.

Any other relevant detailed information: the SFX is loud enough I've just stripped every ship of its radiolytic phaser weaponry cause the cannon SFX is THAT overpowering. I find it interesting, that the day the MACO pistol SFX gets fixed, is the same day another weapon type gets broken, I submit that the SFX for both weapon types is somehow linked in some part of the database.

notes: this is literally the simplest and shortest bug report I think I've ever submitted, with the easiest steps to troubleshoot and reproduce it.

I've been trying to finish up all the nebula/star cluster/whatever assignment chains on my new temporal recruit, and I'm at the point where I'm stuck along the right-hand side of the Beta Quadrant, going back and forth a bunch from the Azlesa Expanse to the B'Tran Cluster. Every single time I fly past Galorndon Core, Captain Picard saying the name of that system pops into my head on repeat for a few minutes. Whoever came up with the name of that system did not anticipate how it would sound when said by a British person.
