Are the servers laggy or something? I could hardly control my ship and character. Response was slow as feck. Not my wifi, I checked. 14ms ping and over 50mbps speed.
I had some rubberbanding as well these last few days - I suspect there's a lot of players online because of the dilithium weekend. It should be alright by Tuesday.
 
Playing a lot less than I use too. Now fly around and do a bit of doffing and R&D stuff. Might do some missions with other charaters when I get home. Want to do more with the Klingon and Romulan stories, but working on upgrades to my ships, and saving to buy some ships. Well it is something I have been thinking about.

Been almost a year since I touched the thing. No plans to do so in the near future unless they move on from the Voyager-based plotlines at some point.

Maybe Season 11?
 
T6 Heavy Escort Carriers Incoming...

https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9475683

will they ever release the t6 escort bundle????

Now that's weird. Cryptic has already released a really strong T6 HEC, the Xindi-Insectoid Olean that has both Command AND Pilot specialist boff seats.

I know a number of players who have already upgraded from their T5 HEC to the Olean. So why are they only now releasing the standard T6 HECs that will be weaker than the lockbox variant?

In many ways, season 10 with its Iconian War has already moved on from the Voyager-based plotlines. Granted, there are still references to the Delta Quadrant since it is also a front in the war. However, the focus of the story has already shifted to actual encounters with the Iconians.
 
I kinder wonder what this new ship will be like. I thought about buying the bundle for the T6 avenger ships. Not willing to spend A$80 on new ships at the moment. Pity the exchange rate is so poor for me at the moment. Might look into it later in the year.
 
Intrinsical, because the Akira is a fan favourite and not everyone carey about flying "generic alien ship #5" which the Xindi ship is, no matter how OP the dps.
Also we do not know the stats of the HEC yet.
It is also a c-store ship and still cheaper than a lockbox or lobi ship.

ElimParra, you are not forced to buy the bundle. You can buy a single ship. The bundle is just a good idea if you want at least two of them, than you get the third one for free. Bundle will be 6000 Zen.
 
Even after all of these years, I still think ship prices are insane.
 
I misposted. [Jedimindtrick] This is not the post you are looking for. [/Jedimindtrick]

By itself yes. There is no way they can justify the ship codts by itself, really.
However you can rationalize them.
They have to keep the lights and servers on somehow and players like ships.

Now if a player buys a T6 ship he pays 30 bucks, which is a lot for the ship. But at the same time he pays for the servers, the dev's food, roof over their heads, elictricity, student loans, rent, share holders, and so on.
Doubly so with lock boxes.
Thing is a price tag has to exist somewhere.
A subscription model does not work, because not enough people can affird that or are willing to pay.
Some players are willing to pay more to cover the others but get nice perks in return like ships and traits.
If you look at it like an ongoing crowdfunding if sorts it looks completely different and almost reasonable. ;)
 
I'm making this post because I am finding myself playing the same old Tholian Encounters, CCA, STFs, GGA queues again and again. I no longer finding STO fun. So I'ld like to ask you guys, what do you guys do in STO that's fun?

I took a break. I haven't played any of the Iconian content yet. It was becoming more work than enjoyment and so I decided to try something else a while and come back later.

Everybody should take a break from time to time or risk severe burn out at some point until you don't like the game at all anymore.

Vendikarr, you can look forward to returning. The new Fleet Holding has some nice perks, and we are progressing actually pretty fast. We are the fastest fleet in the new Armada so far. even faster than the Alpha. ;)

That's a heck of a stretch, but I'll give it to you. :D
 
I'm not that much of an avid player as some, but yeah, the game has become not only a bit boring, but if you're a casual player like me, kinda hard aswell. I'm playing Broken Circle right now, and that Harbinger of M'tara or whatever is damned near impossible to beat unless you've spend money on high class items or do ALL those extra things to get millions of dilitithium and get better gear. I don't have the time or interest to do all that, so for a normal player like me, it's not fun anymore, mostly frustrating.
 
it shouldn't be, at what level are you playing and is your team set up with level appropriate gear. Doesn't have to be epic or something like that.

There are probably just minor tweeks needed, nothing that you don't have access to

What do you mean with level appropriate gear? And I'm level 57.

if you are level 57, level appropriate means generally Mk XII gear. blue gear should do well enough and is really cheap.
