Holodeck Release Notes: EC Exchange cap ‘adjusted’ to 750 Million, Neutronic Adjustments, new Admiralty XP cap

LaughingTrendy posted this yesterday for this morning’s patch: http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9693273 General: Winter Event: Adjusted the Winter recipe ingredient placements to be accessible again. This was problematic as the ramp up to the new village covered the old drop points.  Let the recipes’s commence! All Epohh Breeding Duty Officer Assignments on New Romulus and the Winter Event have had their durations reduced from 24 hours to 20 hours. … Continue reading Holodeck Release Notes: EC Exchange cap ‘adjusted’ to 750 Million, Neutronic Adjustments, new Admiralty XP cap

Season XI, Ship Review

First Impressions: Hands on with the T6 Jupiter-Class Carrier – 3/5 stars

Updated: Ship trait is working as intended. I have wanted a true Starfleet carrier since the introduction of the Atrox. From the moment Star Trek Online decided to break it’s 4-year old unofficial moratorium on the Federation having a full carrier, the community as a whole waited with baited breath for the stats on this ship. The ‘Pantheon‘ design competition was a great way of involving … Continue reading First Impressions: Hands on with the T6 Jupiter-Class Carrier – 3/5 stars

Season XI, Ship Bundle Review

First Impressions: Hands on with the T6 Faction Dreadnought Pack

This is a great example of a good pack:  each ship is unique and a significant improvement over previous versions.  For me the measure of a good ship is one that I’d play with, but a great ship is one I’d also buy the fleet variant without hesitation because it’s become my ‘new’ go-to ship. Every time I sat down to write this review, I ended up playing … Continue reading First Impressions: Hands on with the T6 Faction Dreadnought Pack

New Ship, Season XI

Rush to Judgment – Why the Jupiter-class isn’t DOA…. yet.

Prejudging a ship before we’ve had a chance to get our hands on it comes with a risk, especially when that ship involves an entirely new mechanic. I made assumptions about Pilots ships without knowing their actual value in-game. Fast forward to today, and the Icarus class Science-Pilot ship still outclasses just about everything that has come after it (I’m looking at you T6-Defiant). In … Continue reading Rush to Judgment – Why the Jupiter-class isn’t DOA…. yet.

Herald Lockbox, Season XI

New Dawn Launches – Congratulations to STO on a Smooth and Successful Launch!

I just wanted to pop on quickly tonight for a quick – spoiler free – recap of my first experience with Star Trek Online’s Season XI: A New Dawn.  Based on my experience, the launch was relatively glitch free, lag-free (for me), and my first battle with the RNG Gods was ultimately very successful.  They’re still tweaking a few elements here and there, but for … Continue reading New Dawn Launches – Congratulations to STO on a Smooth and Successful Launch!
