Tried to recreate the Breen look, added hair because I did not like the balded look.

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.

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

Just wondering if anyone's heard anything? I think it's been about two weeks.

Say what you will, Terrans have got style.

Is one having a discussion from login?

Hey folks - the internal documentation used to create the blog had an error, which is why the Erigah is listed as having an Enhanced Battle Cloak instead of a regular Battle Cloak. The blog is being updated now.

After today's update, no matter how far I zoom out the actual map, the minimap / radar at the top right of the screen is now zoomed entirely too far in to be of use.

After today's game update, I launched STO. ARC updated. The game updated. The launcher opened. I started the game. Upon reaching character select a Chromium browser tab popped up over my launcher. Not once. But multiple times. Closing them manually only resulted in the Chromium browser repeating the cycle.

I do use Chrome itself as my default browser. Chromium was all but begging me to swap. Only via Task Manager was I able to end ARC and the ARC overlay function. I went into STO without ARC.

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.

Hey all, I’ve noticed an influx of new and returning players to the game! This old girl(STO) she’s still got it! Rounds of Romulan Ale for everyone! See y around the galaxy 🖖🏾

-follow up- if you’re new what attracted you to play? If a returner what enticed you to return ?

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.

I am just super happy to have this done. I have been forgetting about STO every year only to remember during the summer to get the summer event, and this year I actually managed to get the points, I am pumped!

Now to choose some fun ships/equipment. I already have some ideas

Every time I keep trying to start up the game, it disconnects me from the account server. It’s been saying that for two hours, even though the maintenance isn’t supposed to start yet.

What is a reasonable expectation? Gemini ai told me to expect 20k and the fleet I'm in is asking for 500k

(Sadly you can't do one TFO to do both simultaneously)

Anyone else having that issue? I was on Wow and it was find but when I am on the character screen new chrome pages kept on opening. It only stopped when i exited out.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
