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.

Tribble Release Notes: Kemocite, Torpedo’s & Embassy Consoles Gets Some Lovin’
I sense a disturbance in the Force, as if thousands of Kinetic players cried out and were suddenly silenced. How these changes will impact players, I’ll leave it to OdenKnight over at the show to answer. Good? Bad? Check them out on Tribble. I think this Wednesday’s the SHOW will be interesting 😉 http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline#/discussion/1208547/tribble-maintenance-and-release-notes-december-1-2015 New Tribble Patch you say? https://t.co/ulCyggDXen — Jeremy Randall (@BorticusCryptic) December … Continue reading Tribble Release Notes: Kemocite, Torpedo’s & Embassy Consoles Gets Some Lovin’
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
Guest Blogger Timberwolf: Steamrunner/Blockade Runner Escort Retrofit Review
Lootcritter here: Finally starting to play catch-up on the reviews I’ve missed in the past month (Jupiter pending later today).

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
Learned Something New about the Great Bird of the Galaxy
Sometimes you think you know every story, and every anecdote told about your heroes. Anything Star Trek falls into that category for me, that is until someone points out my head-canon is a little off 😉 Then you learn something really new. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/plane Well worth worth the 5-minute read. It made may day. Continue reading Learned Something New about the Great Bird of the Galaxy
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.
Summarizing Salami_Inferno’s Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything)
The AMA was a lot of fun to follow yesterday, but there was nothing super revealing or landmark in terms of new information. There was the usual commentary and praise for the good stuff, with the usual ‘why can’t I have…‘ lines, plus some fun banter between STO staff members. Giraffes were scandalized. We found out his personal favorite game is Call of Duty. He … Continue reading Summarizing Salami_Inferno’s Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything)
