@DarthDragonborn @AmbassadorKael Dude, climb down off the crybaby, angry at Cryptic, neanderthal mindset. They can't just wave a magic wand and discover out of the ether where a small percentage of players live to narrow down the issue, hence why Kael is trying to gather information here

@AmbassadorKael There are ways to handle this on the players end. However it does get to a point where the issue isnt on the players end. As this sort of issue has happened in the past where players could not log back in at all due to launcher issues.

If you're having trouble connecting to Cryptic games since this morning's patch, can you let me know: 1) Where you live (roughly is fine. :) ) 2) Your ISP 3) Your operating system Trying to find a link.

@ODST_Parker @trekonlinegame They said that themselves in a ten forward after it appeared in game. It's not like this is difficult to put together, Cryptic like money, Borg ship bring money.

@trekonlinegame There it is... playable Borg ships. How many years ago was it when we all knew this was an impossibility? Someone called it dead on when the newest missions included this ship. It was partly because it needed to replace the Cube, and partly for player control.

Based on the design from the classic game #StarTrekArmada, the Borg Assimilator is coming to the Infinity Lock Box on PC tomorrow! playstartrekonline.com/en/news/articl…

@theopholus @trekonlinegame Spoiler - it'll have the starship bridge because even the minimal amount of work for an interior is too much

@westindiesboyz @trekonlinegame Lobi store ships are dead and gone. It's not worth the time investment vs the return for them compared to something like say, oh, the Shrike in a promo pack where people were winning the pack 20+ times an hour when dropped.

@trekonlinegame When you're going add new ships to the lobi store?

For the next 48 hours on PC, you'll save 25% on Infinity R&D Packs and Duty Officer Packs, which currently have a chance to grant you a T6 Promo Ship, including the brand-new Shrike Intel Juggernaut! playstartrekonline.com/en/news/articl…

@KrisNephilim @trekonlinegame Yea? This literally happens every quarter, you can basically set a watch to it. 3 months after this there will be another extended quarterly server maintenance.

@trekonlinegame 6hrs on PC...

Star Trek Online will have its quarterly extended maintenance on all platforms today, 11/29 at 5am PT. Estimated downtime is six hours for PC, five hours for console. Thank you for your patience!

@Obso1eteRealism @Stu1701 @trekonlinegame Did you open them all on the same character? There's a pity system in place but it is a per character & per lockbox basis. If so that's some hella bad RNG cuz I popped 3 within 250 keys

@Stu1701 @trekonlinegame They've needed an overhaul for years including but not limited to droprate(s). Past 2 days I've sunk just over 600 keys into protostar box and no t6! Also, they need to make Phoenix T6 acct-wide.

I discovered tonight that in the Infinity weapon packs, Vaadwaur Polaron weapons don't let you pick between Beams, Cannons, and Ground weapons like most other variants do. Weird inconsistencies like these one of the several reasons @trekonlinegame's lockboxes need an overhaul.

@B_Money112687 @Stu1701 @trekonlinegame All of those mods apart from [pen] are extremely dated and can actively harm your damage potential when/if they activate

@Stu1701 @trekonlinegame Would be cool to put [Over], [Pen], [Spr] and [Rapid] on lockbox items somehow too.

@deavon_paul @greyspectre2100 @trekonlinegame Eh, I got way more money than I know what to do with at this point. Worked hard, invested harder so now I got about $3k of hobby money to blow a month on various things before I need to get authorization from the Mrs to spend more so I say "why not?"

@_MarkRussell_ @greyspectre2100 @trekonlinegame ..and this is why this continues to happen and is becoming worse. I used to go big in STO. About a hundred a month or so. What sort of value are you getting back these days? I'm curious. Three or so episodes a year? Shrinking player base to flex on? Is the value still there?

The Dauntless II, of #StarTrekProdigy, is coming to the Infinity Lock Box on PC next week! playstartrekonline.com/en/news/articl…

@lamawithagun @trekonlinegame stowiki.net/wiki/Dauntless… Yea, it's already in the game.. and, as predicted, it isn't kitbashable and has no additional skins

@_MarkRussell_ @trekonlinegame No, I mean a canon accurate skin for that Dauntless the OG skin.

@DarthDragonborn @AmbassadorKael Hahahaha, Connie variant to the C-Store as a regular ship.. that'll be the day. Unfortunately, they will want to monitize the fuck out of a Shangri-La. I know I'd pay lockbox price for that, hell, I'd pay double lockbox price for it.

@AmbassadorKael Heres to hoping its a t6 shangri-la going into the C-store. Because the connie doesnt have a regular 3000 zen store varient that is just its regular ship

We're switching things up on the streaming front a little bit - it makes more sense to have a NW stream today, launch day, and it makes more sense to do an STO stream next week so we can announce a ship you'll all be excited for. So we're doing that. :)

@AlyssaD1776 @trekonlinegame Won't happen. The real money is in lockbox/promo sales and they've said time after time that KDF/Rom ships just don't sell as well as their Fed equivalent because the majority of the playerbase is Fed people playing to be Federation.

@trekonlinegame Can you all lay off the lock box ships for a bit and give the Klingons and Romulans some C-Store ship love. We haven't had a new design of either (only legendary reskins) in just about 3 years.

Star Trek Online will have PC maintenance tomorrow, 10/19, at 7am PT. Estimated downtime is 2.5 hours. You can find the patch notes here: playstartrekonline.com/en/news/articl…

@Lexers5 @trekonlinegame There will most likely be no compensation. The event itself could still be progressed, it was just the Dil reward that was down. They usually only compensate or extend it the actual event progress was stunted for some reason. 🤷‍♂️ is what it is, was only a day or two

@trekonlinegame When will we get compensated for you turning dill reward off halfway through last event?

Star Trek Online will have Console maintenance today, 10/17, at 7am PT. Estimated downtime is 2 hours for a server restart. Thank you for your patience!

@jjwardyjj @trekonlinegame Good thing you don't need any of these ships to be powerful and play the game then

@trekonlinegame Another fucking lockbox. This is why I stopped playing. Game has turned into a goddamn casino

@EHomunculi @trekonlinegame Different size to them = different ship. So hell yea they're gonna try and make bank on it

@trekonlinegame LOCKBOX?? A new version of a Zstore ship released as a LOCKBOX ship?? It's just a MK2 Dauntless, and you're shamelessly milking it.

@lamawithagun @trekonlinegame That's already in the c-store, due to the size difference I doubt it'll be kit bashable

@trekonlinegame Any chance this comes with a canon accurate original dauntless skin?

@deavon_paul @greyspectre2100 @trekonlinegame Anyone with the license will do some form of macro transaction content. People need to get paid and companies want big gamer money. It's obvious the cash is there, hell, I drop a hard $1000 USD if there's something I want 🤷‍♂️

@greyspectre2100 @trekonlinegame I've been there. Considering where this game come from to where we are now it's plain Cryptic we're and still are not the best stewards of this license, despite the passion and talent of some of their staff.

@JrodBlueBE @trekonlinegame They could have, but weren't going to. Where's the money in that? They already got your cash once now they're hunting other people's cash. Hell, I bought two of these bundles today just for the deflector + new traits 🤷‍♂️

Surprise! The Legendary Battlecruiser Bundle, with Legendary Versions of the Avenger and Bortasqu' Classes, is available on PC right now! playstartrekonline.com/en/news/articl…

@Ginger_Trekkie @trekonlinegame 🤣🤣 yea, they'll just give away the skin which is one of the primary selling points of these legendary bundles. What do you think Cryptic is, player friendly?

Tonight's all new #TenForwardWeekly will be announcing, as some of you have guessed, a brand new Legendary Bundle! What two ships will be a part of it? Tune in to find out at 4:30 PT. twitch.tv/crypticstudios

@RickVic2 @trekonlinegame It wasn't meant to be slotted in the visual slot, the visual they spoke of in the blog was just the orange hexagonal shield bubble which the current vanity slot doesn't support, it only supports hull visual changes. The prodigy vanity shield drops from prodigy box weapon packs

@trekonlinegame Still no visual slot for the Prodigy Shield

Star Trek Online will have PC Maintenance today, 9/21, at 7am PT. Estimated downtime is 2.5 hours. You can find the patch notes here: 📜 playstartrekonline.com/en/news/articl…

@ChrisTheTexan @Tumerboy

@Tumerboy All of that work for a game many despise due to its increasingly aggressive monetization schemes. I mean, you do a good job, but your employers should be ashamed of turning the game into what it is today… a complete shadow of its original self.
