What number were we on when it died?

I have no clue, it was somewhere in 2014 so... 10 maybe?

Neat

no iconian marks ever

Reminder to everyone: You can now test the new expansion if you are on Tribble.

Please remember to put new story spoilers in spoiler tags

Play the Na'khul red alert, it takes ten minutes if you're not shit.

holy shit

I don't have to bother with checking that other one anymore now

I ain't making any promises on making future threads.
Though i will probably keep on cross posting between both threads.

btw, does anyone know how we can update the OP post?

Some of the links are broken and most of the info is either outdated or not relevant anymore.

Also lots of new info should be added regarding mission reward items and builds.

You can't edit posts on Veeky Forums.

What is better, the narcine dreadnought or jupiter?

Because I bought the jupiter class when it came out and I felt like it was worse, then i quite

I know, i mean the shit behind the links in OP post and for the future threads.

patching tribble now

I hope this TOS shit is good

On 8/vg/ someone already tested out a bit of it (then the game bugged and he was unable to equip a phaser rifle, even though he had equipped it).

>(then the game bugged and he was unable to equip a phaser rifle, even though he had equipped it)
Well at least we know it's the same old team working on this expansion then.

Any guys from the old /stog/ Klingon fleet here? I'm feeling a bit nostalgic for sitting around on Qo'nos and chatting with some of the old guys like Ravensburg and the the Big Lizards

>tactical are yellow shirts in TOS expansion

this bothers me more than it should

They really nailed the "we have no idea what we're doing so we'll just slap a bunch of parts together and hope it works" aesthetic of early TOS databooks and RPGs.
Looking forward to seeing the T2~5 freebies whenever they show up.

>Skill Point Effects, aka what you actually get with each skill point

Have they made a design where the nacelles come off the saucer and the engineering hull follows/hangs behind the saucer?

>this hair
is this in the game now or new? it's fucked

But that's how it was in TOS. Yellow was Tactical, Red was Engineering.

There's the Zephyr-class heavy escort.
The new ships being added are here:

why were they sending so many engineers to die on away teams

all those dead redshirts

whoops, here:

...

Well, it's not just Engineers. A lot of different sections went under one color. Security, for example, shares color with Engineering.

TOS sector space.

That looks.. really different from the current galaxy map system.
Are those sectors different instances or is this one giant map?

and my fun has already ended

haven't you ever heard of compression?

yes but don't really care about it

Reminder that Hearts and Minds will be available Friday and Saturday for those who want to get their hands on the special duty officer reward.

Holy SHIT I was just thinking about how much I missed /stog/.

neat

Was it just fixed with the new patch?

did they just patch tribble? I'm going for dinner so I'll have to check it out later

There was no patch this week.

I'm loving these new ships. They're so well designed.

>tfw no tribble

looks silly to be honest.

muh dick

Will the new TOS Era Federation faction be able to interact with the existing factions in the "present?"
How is this all even going to work?

Guaranteed the TOS faction will only have 20 levels of their own story, after which they end up in the 25th century and do all the other all-faction missions.

Yes, your 23rd century redshirt is going to hop into the 25th century, free the Remans, talk to the Prophets, stop the Jem'Hadar, discover the Preservers, blow up a bunch of Borg, befriend the Undine, stop the Vaadwaur and go back in time to become The Other.

from the trailer I saw, it looked like it was just reusing the resources from the early federation missions where they opposed the Klingons.

oh. oh god. that's horrible.

fhdp-fleet.org/leaks

You'd think the Ferengi ship would be the summer event ship and the Vorgon ship would be the promotional/lockbox ship but apparently it's the other way around.

terrible

Temporal Dreadnought, hmm. Maybe 3-nacelled Consitution? I can't remember the name. Federation-class?

Nah, it's cross faction. It's gonna be another one like the Ouroboros and Eternal.

first time I've been kind of disappointed by a ship being cross-faction

...

that's one way to get reprimanded

>Vulcan
>uniform half open
that shit ain't logical

Jesus Christ.

I won't believe it until they say it. It's possible, but, I refuse to get hyped for this. Wouldn't they have leaked stats another temporal cruiser if that were the case?

Also fuck I wish they'd add a T6 D7/K't'inga, and let Romulans fly them too.

No fucking way. Also
>ConstitutionS
Multiple?

She looks a little red, maybe she's hot? Opening her jacket to cool down would be pretty logical.

Vulcans are super logical because they have to keep their extremely violent primal selves in check. Its not like they don't have emotions, they just need to keep them under lock and key.
Anyways I loved this game because it felt like Mass Effect but I quit because it got repetitive and some of the missions weren't very trek like. Kind of took me out of it, especially when combat was such a snooze.

Vulcans are logical, not stupid. If sex appeal allows her to gain an advantage over the enemy then logic dictates she should use that advantage.

>She looks a little red, maybe she's hot?
Vulcan blood is green.

Do they blush green?

Blushing is blood moving close to the skin in your cheeks, so I'm sure you can answer that one.

was just bumping

Dead thread.

so it begins

whoa, this is back?
might fire up the game once again and check it out.

>Just fuck my shit up

So, if anyone else is around, how have your missions gone in the past year?

Post your builds.

Man I need to get on my shit and goldplate/upgrade my equipment.
Trouble is I am saving dil up in case I want to buy the TOS bundle with Zen, if it's going to be available.

Your ship appears to be developing tumors

I kinda feel bad for not making this thread few months ago when they ran a second omega particle event.

Free upgrade tokens were had and hours of grind in particle hero 2016 were had.

>In 30th century, humanity still uses 24th century ships

Barbed dick bump

>30th century time ship
>Worse than Rhode Island

I knew taking Pakleds into Vulcan science academy was a bad idea!

I just presume the captain is really autistic about helping you out when it's not time travel missions.
>sure, we'll help you out, Admiral
>but, uh only just about as much as a normal science ship would be able to, don't want to fuck up the timeline, heh-heh
>shit, he sent me on a mission to help people out who history says are supposed to die again

So, is it already canon that we are the Mirror universe?

How do you want your power levels, senpai?

Mirror bump.

Ice cold.

Stupid question, but I played the game for a couple hunderd hours a couple of years ago.
But now my account is stuck in a weird limbo between cryptic and perfect world.
Should I bother sorting it out or should I start again?

It might be worth contacting them at the very least.

What said.
Also, try downloading arc and see if it works there.

It's been long enough that you need to sort it out at the customer support level, but you can still get it sorted out if you remember all of your account info.

You can still get it back, but you need to contact customer support and you can't log in to STO or their other games until then because it'll fuck it up.

support.arcgames.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4362/kw/cryptic account

That said, unless there's stuff on your old account that you actually paid for then you might be better off just making a new one instead.

My problem is that I found my old login information, but I think the account is tied to an old email address that I can't access anymore.
I also started playing after it went f4p, so there's no credit card or anything on file.
So I'm not too hopeful that I can recover it

Some extra information, based on my old screenshots I think my old account had a captain rank

In that case you most likely lost absolutely nothing of value.
Unless you had any event items or some other rare shit that was handed over to players.

If you cant remember anything like that, i suppose it would be safe to make a new account and some new characters.

>Political prisoners
>Diplomatic shows of force
>Embargo planets that don't comply

Seriously, why doesn't cryptic just change this games name to Mirror universe online already?

That's how TOS ship design works.

I DON'T WANT TO SET THE WORLD ON FIREEEE.
ALL I WANT IS JUST TO THROW ROOOOOOCKS.

Do any of you guys use the in-game biography sections at all?
If so, post your shit.
If not, post ones you've seen that stood out for one reason or another.

I have absolutely no clue what it says though.

>Reinforce Trade Blockade on Federation Planet

What the fuck would a post-scarcity society even trade in?

Non-replicatable materials like dilithium.

...

Looks like there is a sale going on.

arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9957433

Tempted to buy the EC cap increase, but it'd use up all my zen and with the exchange rate going how it is, I'm not too keen on that idea.
