    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's "as soon as you have the ship on one character, your alts can get it for just 40". So you'd still have to buy every Breen ship for 1000, but just once for each ship.

    As this is my first winter event, i've completed the race on 3 alts to get all the ships unlocked.
    Now completed the only ship i can claim for 40 pictures is the T6 carrier all the others still want 1000 pics. :scream:
    I've noticed on the sto forums that a lot of people are having similar issues, and there is a fix on tribble for it that hasn't been pushed over to holodeck yet.

    Coincidentally, I was testing my recently upgraded Fleet HEC-U against Starbase 234. Here's the footage, for inspiration.

    I didn't take down Starbase 234 on my first try, nor my second, or 20th try. Just keep working on upgrading your character your ship and your piloting and button mashing skills. You'll eventually get there.

    It is a Carrier, is it not? That means, it has average shields where the Nebula as a scie ship has a good shield mod.
    It's also slow which means lower defense value.
    It has the 6 weapons slot of a scie ship only and I am not sure on sensor analysis to lower your targets resistance.

    The strength of a carrier are the swarm of pets to boost your firepower controll and defense.
    A totally different gameplay experience which takes some getting used to.
    Your ship most likely is not fully leveled yet either. It will get stronger as you get better with it, too.

    I am only getting it for the trait, though.

    I'm not sure about the Breen ship, but in general carriers don't get sensor analysis.

    For me, it's the same problem as Joel's. I had three toons focusing on getting the ships, one toon to unlock each ship for the others, but it only works for the T6 Carrier (for now, at least. maybe this outage is partly to fix it).

    I would think that this outage is unrelated to the Breen ship discount issue, but if they have a working fix ready to go, they'd be stupid not to implement it before getting the server problem rectified.

    Yeah, it looks like the problem is still going on. Although, I haven't logged in today to see if it has been corrected.

    Yeah, my toon is crazy in ground missions...lol. I'm sad to see not many play the ground PvPs, so I can continue to put that claim to the test, but I'm constantly trying to improve my 'space game'...

    Thanks for the link...;)

    No, no, no.

    I got the warship not the carrier...

    I think its the new year and most of their staff are not working. Hopefully they will push the Breen Chel Grett's 40 pictures project fix live soon or it may turn into yet another Cryptic PR disaster.

    As far as the Breen Plesh Brek project is concerned, Cryptic already fixed it and pushed the fix to live servers 2-3 weeks ago. If it is still asking you for 1000 pictures, cancel the old project and start a new project. Hopefully that will allow you to redeem the Plesh Brek for 40 pictures. If not, then its a brand new bug that Cryptic is totally unaware of. Be sure to file a bug report and make some noise on the forums so that they are aware the Plesh Brek project is not totally fixed.

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking: It's around Christmas as well as New Years, so things are a bit slow. However, there are paying customers...which will upset many.

    (I'm paying with my time as I'm sure others are as well, and when we go through the motions to get certain items, it is expected those items to be available....or at least some reason as to why those items aren't showing up).

    Hopefully, we'll hear something soon.;)

    EDIT: I'm going to log in to send my bug report.

    ^ Agree 100% - I assuming this was done on tribble. Will be cool to see this in the game sometime in the future. Gonna share this on FB. So cool.

    I don't think, this will ever be a game feature, Elim, the guy spend a lot of time setting up key binds, programmed his speech recognition software to be linked to those key binds and respond with a speech generator software.

    While it is possible the devs could program this, too, it is highly unlikely.

    That said, the computer sounds very Majel like. :)

    Most people are not aware that Windows 7 comes with speech recognition built in. I suppose we could use it to do something like this.

    A comment about the new BOFF training system currently in Tribble.

    If you are happy with how your BOFFs are set up now, you don't have to change anything, because they have all of their current skills as active. If you want to change their skills, you get the training manual and apply it.

    However, if you acquire new BOFFs, they don't have any active skills, just their personal traits. So new BOFFs have to be trained with the manual from the beginning. So like now when your new BOFF has the skill but no skill points, now you select the skill and purchase/craft the manual needed to activate their skills.

    So while they have no skills, you may still want to select your BOFFs based on their personal traits.

    Looks like Cryptic is tying several things with the STO 5th year anniversary in February, new Bridge officer training system, icon changes, Command school specialization, at least 3 new T6 ships with Command hybrid boff seats (just my guess, since they need one ship for each faction),

    I know this is late, but this is a well-known bug in that mission. It's been this way for as long as I've been playing the game. And they will now never change it, since they are removing the mission with the Rom mission revamp.

    While I don't mind seeing some missions go, its a little disconcerting that they're reducing the arc to almost 1/4 of what it currently is. They didn't take that much out of the Klingon arc.

    Found this on FB. I'm quite happy with my BOFFs, but interested in the new command school specialization. More grinding to come.
