60th Anniversary Prize Pack 60-Pack Bundle Situation

173 Upvotes

Hey Captains! In the blog that announced the 60th Anniversary Starship Icons Lock Box, we used the phrase "This is the cheapest an individual box can cost," in regards to the 60-Pack of Icon Packs. This phrase lead many people to believe that the 60-pack-bundle was the cheapest these boxes would ever be, and that was our error in phrasing. This caused a lot of frustration when we put two new bundles on sale this weekend, and the individual packs were cheaper in those bundles. We apologize for the confusion and frustration we caused.

On Thursday at 8am on PC, anyone who bought the 60-pack-bundle will be able to claim, for free, 10 Starship Icon Prize Packs, once per account. These will be in the Promotions Tab of the Zen Store. These Prize Packs will never expire.

In addition, when these Prize Packs launch on Console, Console Captains will be able to purchase a 70-pack-bundle instead of the 60-pack-bundle. This bundle will cost exactly the same amount of Zen as the 60-pack-bundle did on PC, and will still contain 60 bonus schematics. Thanks for your patience over the last few days.

PC Will we ever get 'Loot All?

Post image
206 Upvotes

Or the option already there in a setting somewhere and I'm just missing it?

Can't say the game has the easiest to read Options screen on PC, so I won't be surprised if I've just missed something fundamental in there that could help out with the usual post-Kern System Patrol 'F' spamming to collect lootz.

Console When will the next event campaign part drop on console?

6 Upvotes

I’m just 500 points away from the necessary points to claim the event campaign rewards(T6 ship especially) which is about 10 days of participation. Does anyone know when the next part is likely to drop for console?

Bug Report Assimilated Borg Technology visual issue

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

I haven't used the "Assimilated Borg Technology" set in a while, but I am 99% certain that it is not supposed to look like this. The white blocks always appear whenever the passive ability activates.

Is this a known bug?

EDIT: For reference, the ship in the images is a Legendary Sovereign T6-X2. I swapped to a Legendary Galaxy-X T6-X and it doesn't seem to have the same problem with the set visual.

Kuva'magh WTF??

• Upvotes

Getting back into this game after years and years. Started a new character since I barely remember how to play or what does what. Seem to be a lot of tweaks to the start of the game.

After beating the Doomsday Device it sends me to this mission called Kuva'magh. Which I don't remember. (But I also didn't remember fighting the Doomsday Device either, so that means little.)

And OMFG this missing is just slapping me around. I only have half my regular landing party and am fighting three (three!!) unkillable gorn where I cannot do enough damage in the small window they're frozen to remotely slow them down and they melt my health bars.

I have no idea what's going on in this game anymore but I'm guessing this is new content for high level characters that isn't properly level gated. But it also doesn't feel like a later mission since Shon is on the Belfast not the Enterprise. I dunno...
Maybe I just suck.

Either way it's a super frustrating reintroduction to the game.

Update on my new player experience

49 Upvotes

So its been like 3 weeks since im playing and can t believe i ve skipped this game…

I gave up on star trek as a franchise after season 3 of discovery, i just said its not for people like me anymore maybe im too old school.

The episodes are really really good in this game. Betrayals, suicide bombs and for the first time in a long time im starting to remember the characters in a game so its making a impact on me.

Im not max level yet but i don t feel any rush. Like Conan exiles, this game will stay installed on my pc forever just to do some random patrol or crafting until new episodes come out.

Cheers to the dev team, really talented writing.

Sometimes the stars just align. My Emergency Command Hologram (Kirk Model v. 2.2) was swinging by Mo'Neke's at Deep Space Nine, when who should he run into but his old nemesis...

Discussion World Razer

I’m currently saving up EC to pick one up from the exchange since my luck with the Icon Boxes is abysmal. Would you say it is worth it?

I’ve looked at the trait and while I think it is really cool, I’m not sure how useful it will be. As always for me, I’m looking at the console, while I think is going to be useful as it not only triggers instant warp cores breaches if it kills enemies but is 180.

For context, I’m currently running a CRF build on a Typhoon.

My bad, I guess? I’ve never blown myself up with a torpedo before, guess I’ll have to remember to throttle down before using the vovin console if I want to fire off a torp immediately after…

Oberths and Pods

Post image
75 Upvotes

I have, maybe a bit of a silly question. Recently, I've ran into an artists interpretation of the Oberth-class with various mission pods attached, noteably including no pod at all, which I've found a deeply interesting concept visually.

Is there anything that's reasonably close to this appearance wise in game? I'm assuming not, but I've figured with how many ships there are these days I'd rather ask lol

Blue Temporal Anomaly identification, thx

10 Upvotes

I keep seeing a blue version of Gravity Well with Temporal Anchor trait, which is normally red. What is it ?

I have gone through the entire Know Your Anomaly sheet and it isn't on there either. I have asked AI and keep getting answers that are totally wrong. I'm hoping someone here knows.

To be clear, the visual is identical (not just similar) to the red Temporal Anchor trait version of Gravity Well, but it's blue.

This trait https://stowiki.net/wiki/Temporal_Anchor_(starship_trait)) makes Gravity Well red. I want to know what makes them blue or if it is something entirely different.

Here's the red version: https://imgur.com/a/temporal-anchor-SV0p3Ny

Is the console version blue ? https://stowiki.net/wiki/Console_-_Universal_-_Temporal_Anchor

thx in advance
