Tomorrow there will be a new dilitihum mining event that involves EVA suits apparently.


And then Friday a special event about the event.

Pics of the event have surfaced

Calibrations!

[Tuskin]

One of the Dev made this up to show a better scale of the Ent-F

[CarlBooth]

judging from that I think the enterprise-G is just going to be the mushroom top from spacedock with warp nacelles sticking out of it

"Come on down to the environment suit store! We have pre-owned drycleaned models, and the fancy new steel trim!"

[Dwarfy77]

How much you think you'll earn per mission? The suits cost a shitload of Dilithium (more than some ships ) so I assume a lot, and hope so too.

[Tuskin]

I was playing it on the test server, I got around 800 after doing it once..

I'd really enjoy a ground mission in which you could see your own ship flying above you. Kind of like when you call in orbital strikes in the last Romulan mission, I was totally expecting the Moriarti to swoop down and start taking out stuff.

Then I remembered this is Star Trek and nobody ever pulls that kind of shit, not to mention that with the ship being several hundred meters in diameter, it would probably swallow the map.

Looks like that Ferengi ship may end up being a Lockbox ship.

[Jarmen123]

I like the new ship designer

People just want what they want as an individual. Generally that doesn't lie on the same path as to what the majority wants, silently or vocally. STO is pretty lucky to have a vocal community. Unfortunately, the community is more a pile of individuals that have their own specific needs(wants, really), and anything that does not fulfill that can be described by a plethora of negative adjectives.

Not surprisingly enough, assumptions spread like wild-fire, rumors spread like floods. Light a candle, and a volcano goes off.

If I spend time fixing older ships, people that want T5 ships will complain.
If I spend time making Klingon ships, Federation players will complain.
If I spend time making Federation ships, Klingon players will complain.
If I spend time making neutral ships, faction purists will complain.
If I spend time making C-Store ships, people that don't want to give us money will complain.
If I spend time making non C-Store ships, people that spent money on ships will complain.
If I spend time adding variants to older ships, people with "better" ships that have minimal variants will complain.
If I spend time making Tactical ships, Engineering and Science players will complain.
If I spend time making Engineer ships, Science and Tactical players will complain.
If I spend time making Science ships, Tactical and Engineer players will complain.
If I spend time making starbases, players will complain about not having ships.
If I spend time making variants, players will complain about the lack of new ships.
If I spend time making new ships, players will complain about the lack of new variants.
If I spend time making NPC ships, players will complain about not enough content.
If I spend time making anything but ships, players will complain about a lack of ships.
If I spend time making new T5 ships, players that want ancient ships will complain.
If I spend too much time making any ships, my producers complain.
If I spend time making a ship, players will complain that it's not the ship they wanted.

wow all I got was just 300 dilithium from mining.

Also a glitch happens were the 5th site doesn't show up so you will be stuck at 4/5

[CarlBooth]

I visited the dilithium asteroid in beta ursae and all I got was this lousy EV suit

I think we may see it as a GPL store ship. only it costs a shit ton of GPL.

[Electrocuter]

So I go into the game to check this mining stuff out after not having played for 2 weeks and this happens:



It's like this everywhere, from the character select screen to space.

I figured out disabling AA fixes it but the game looks like shit without AA.

[whelm]

If I recall the newest ATI drivers started doing that.

thanks for telling me i didn't upgrade yet

Oh that explains it.

Shit.

Guess I could try enforcing AA on the driver itself.

[Tuskin]

I have the latest ATI drivers but don't get that Issue. Maybe only certain cards are effected?

[Tuskin]

I minimize for 3 minutes and come back to this

[whelm]

The emergency oxygen hose is in the groin!

I've just gotten to level 15 and I seem to have run out of what I guess equates to main story missions (the ones where you can transwarp to them).

Are they all gone or can I go somewhere to pick up the chain again? I was enjoying the easy leveling

If you can't transwarp to them, it means you don't have enough energy credits to do them, you'll have to manually fly there, and don't worry, you wont have to go very far usually, until you hit the Undine and Breen missions, they're annoying to get to

Actually I simply didn't have the mission in my log

But it's magically fixed now, thanks anyway.

ps I have something like 200k with nothing to buy so I transwarp to literally everything

[CarlBooth]

Sometimes the next story contact doesnt Hail you for a while.

Press J then click on Episodes. You will see all the story missions in a nice order.

[SFC3]

Anyone interested in a livestream of STO by yours truly?

Yes, you run out of missions and you must do a daily or something to continue leveling and getting another story mission.

I think STO would probably be one of the worst games to livestream.

For some reason, MMOs are some of the most fun games to play, but the most boring to watch :v:

[MangoJuice]

I could watch someone PvP if it had live commentary.

Woo Mars! Is that for the Klingon Awareness week thing, or something else?

[Tuskin]

Its for the First Contact Event next Thursday.
There are interactive bits, you can change the hologram in the middle of the room.

Klingon Awareness is a community run thing.

[Jarmen123]

I think it was mentioned some where on the forums that you can claim a replica Phoenix during this event.

Its a pet.

And it wasn't the forums it was from in the In-game Calender, if you click on April 5th.

Bussard collectors seem to be from the TOS constitution, why not the nx's

[Jarmen123]

some info on the Galaxy pack

It was just a bundle of the 3 Galaxy ships

Well it looks like the TOS Bussard's in this shot

Remember First Contact came out before Enterprise, so the Phoenix's Bussards were probably based on the TOS Ent's.

[MrDoctor]

This is probably a dumb question, but if comparison is even possible, how does this compare to DC Universe Online?
