Yes, I was disconnecting frequently today, and hit a weird bug in a mission. And my brother's keeps crashing on him for no discernible reason.

Hmmmm.... I just saw a Borg DS event spawn (right in front of me, no less), and it was already dead when I entered.  :/

Their heads will do that too a lot.

I can tell you stories about this, like the time two of my doffs tried to realign a sensor array and they both died. As this is Star Trek, when I asked "wtf did the console they were pushing buttons on explode?" someone pointed out that it probably did.

If you were to open a standard Starfleet panel up, I swear it'd be packed with bottle rockets.

Bottle rockets? With the way the explode and kill people, I'm thinking they build circuit boards out of hardened RDX or something.

One of my duty officers just died trying to "secure a prototype plasma torpedo unit." I can only imagine a tragic scenario in which the poor guy was involved in an accident falling off of a balcony with no handrail, because they didn't even get me a prototype. And thus, Darwinism reigns among duty officers...

Oh boy.

Explosive electronics weren't just for dramatic effect then.  They're canonical, and made it into the game. :lol:

Re: Star Trek Online is now free to play
Yeah, at least it made sense when I lost one on a security mission... But recalibrating the sensors?  I guess they were scanning for biological samples, maybe they got mauled by a space bat or something.

The purple box packs are actually really good in comparison to the standard stuff, with blue and green quality people guaranteed.

This PvE events are also real fun, just made 2nd place in one and got a blue console, plus a nice amount of xp.

It appears that Tour the Universe rewards are scaled.

Captain == 10,000 EC per block
Rear Admiral == 30,000 EC per block

::EDIT::

Well, that golden lockbox was a gyp.  +20% cxp.

Re: Star Trek Online is now free to play
Just now on the mission "The Kuvah'Magh I played on Advanced and screwed up and got two of those groups of small ships and a big ship after me at the same time and got beat down to 2% and managed to not die in the end.

Well at least I certainly felt like a badass, my ship all flaming and scored and ****. :)

Something else: I found out that ships don't blow up when they fly full speed into rocks like they do in SFC, and that makes me a bit sad.

Re: Star Trek Online is now free to play
I made it to Rear Admiral a few days ago, I don't know why they'd give someone like me that promotion, guess they like my tendency to ram the guy that's about to kill me.

Re: Star Trek Online is now free to play
Stick with the Sovvy honestly.  Or the Prometheus/Gryphon.  Or the Titan.  Star Cruisers are a bit overrated and the extra tactical BOff slot is helpful in STFs.  That said, I've really come to like the versatility of the Odyssey, even if it does turn like a 767 being pushed by a two year old, it's not THAT much bigger than the Soverign.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

Re: Star Trek Online is now free to play
Newest featured ep drops good doff pack, last bit of ground Dominion set and/or a Jem'Hadar bridge officer. Who is guaranteed to have Torpedo Spread 3.

Go grab your stuff, people.
