It's a safe bet to say that the Romulans are never going to be a full fledged faction, meaning they will have to side with either the Federation or the KDF. It's my understanding that any new "faction" (eg. Cardassians) will follow the same route a…
According to Cryptic, they aren't able to reproduce the UI issues, such as the emptying of trays and such. Also, Smirk has said that he ran tests of "all the queues" and they "all loaded within 30 seconds or less" for him, which is utterly impossib…

You guys do know that the winter event is going on and that most are playing a racing game that isn't in the queue list to get new ships?
This was never an issue in previous years during the Winter Event. Why all of a…
Historically, Cryptic generally doesn't discuss specific details behind what they deem as an exploit. There is a little more to this than just teaming up and farming.
There were some issues raised regarding how NPCs scale when teamed and the te…
Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together and sharing them here.
As for the whole "upgrade" system, they may as well call it for what it really is.... a MASSIVE dilithium (cash) sink. The UI with all the clicking is poorly thought…
Originally posted by holdenhamlet The thing is, how exactly would one implement "exploration" into an MMO?
Take a look at No Man's Sky.

It can be done. Cryptic Studios definitely isn't the shop to do it though. …
Cryptic most likely doesn't have the team or the funds for something like that.
It's not a question of staff or funds. Cryptic simply doesn't have the talent or creativity to do something like this.
Everything they've posted about this so far is essentially Season 8 part II. Meaning; another beatifully designed yet horribly implemented battlezone, yet another reputation grind. The new ESD is nice, but then again, there really wasn't anything…
Have been playing the new Season 8 stuff for the past few days myself. I have to say, the art department really deserves props for this. The Dyson Sphere environments are absolutely beautiful. One thing STO does really well is environment design.…
Have you tried warping out of the system? There is an icon in the upper right part of the screen for "Warp to Sector". IIRC you need to do that to answer the hail once you arrive at Earth.
You may want to take a look at this thread over on the official STO forums. I remember reading about others who had a similar issue. STO would cause their modem to shut down.
Originally posted by Po_ggOn topic of stipends, that was a well-documented (I mean they announced it, investigated, mails were sent, etc.) one-time bug, and not a common event.
Yes, Cryptic did report about it on the forums. The post Cryptic ma…
Finally received a reply from PWE Customer Service.
Their initial response to my ticket was that I received a duplicate stipend back in April. When I asked for a specific record of when I received the duplicate stipend, they supplied me a list …
It's nice that they are adding events/content to the game. I can't say this one in particular interests me as it's yet another grindfest, so I'll be passing on it.
And this is a lingering issue that has been around since the game launched the C-Store. Time and time again, players have requested a proper account history to show what items were purhased and when. Cryptic - and this is a Cryptic issue, not PWE …
PWE only tracks Zen you buy and what game you transfer it to. They won't track what you spend it on in game, nor do they have stipend tracking. If you wind up having any problem, which to be fair can happen, you've no way of defending your positio…
