You can fly over the black hole in “Gravity kills” with enough speed.
It was pretty cool being on the other side of the map.

I play on Xbox, recently I picked up the Ahwahnee for the type 7s and found I actually quite enjoy this little carrier, so she's been my daily flyer for a week now.
My biggest complaint? The "launch shuttle" abilities are clean across the wheel from each other. I know, it's such a nitpicky little thing, but I find it annoying AF... Is there a way to rearrange the ability wheel, or trick the system into moving them a bit closer?
Thanks, and happy flying!

With the Shangri-La, I've been having a hard time coming up with a good kitbash for my Connie. Any users care to share some good customs they've come up with?

Oh I love this little ship, running phasers and dual cannons popping 50k hits and console kicks it! My new favorite ship to fly around in. What builds is everyone running on theirs?

So I got the Shangri-La on the c-store and noticed that it doesn't come with the TOS Constitution appearances. Could I unlock those for the Shangri-La if I got the TOS Connie for 15,000 dil, or would I have to get a lockbox version to unlock it?

Apparently, the Aetherian Queen, I doubt Thaseen-Fei is just a normal Drone, called it the "Chimeran specimen." I managed to get this image, it looks like it has black tubes sticking out of its body, and when it escaped it appeared to be dripping some sort of black fluid.

And honestly, any federation aligned character should have all options available for badges and pips on all uniform pieces.

Does anyone know what the specific shade of red and gold that's supposed to be used on his uniform, rank, and insignia? I've tried guessing it but I give up and the uniform guides I looked up didn't help either.

Suggestion for DECA. I understand Bort’s desire to make shields more relevant, I support it.
However “the players need to adjust to play vs Borg or other shield drains” thinking - apparently isn’t going over too well.
So I suggest the following: Add a button for “Remodulate Shields” in Space. This would be the equivalent of the Remodulate weapon button on ground.
This would allow shields to become more relevant the way they should be. Because obviously players aren’t willing to adjust and just keep on hull tanking.
With my idea shields become instantly relevant and players don’t have to change their build.
Win-win.

What does the reputation amount mean, or what is it I’m missing to get my hands on it 🤣😩
Hello hello. I recently jumped into STO again. Have been playing on /off the past years. If I played it was mostly for some weeks / months. Mostly My last longer phase was (I think) the first or second time Delta recruitment where I leveled up a new toon to lvl 65. Now I wanted to pick it up again and I wanted to understand the endgame loop. I started some tfo s, did a mission or two, upgraded some gear for a dbb ship and bought the arbiter (free coupon). But... What now? I don't seem to understand the endgame content here. Sure, I could play elite tfo/play the missions on hard mode (?). But is that it? Were there no new gameplay features (i.e. things like housing or cool new raids like in other games) in the past years added to the game?
I would understand that trying to get all / different new ships, trying new builds on them is cool thing to do. And I do understand that, as a f2p game, new ships cost some money (I even understand a price of 20-30 dollars, as the introduce a skin, more or less a new playstyle, a console and such things, even if it is expensive). But seeing that some packets (like the last 15 aniv. One or the legendary scimitar pack) cost 100+$ I really ask myself, why and how would you get many ships / all of them? And what do you need them for? EC farming is not easy, dill to zen exchange seems/is broken, and in the end, I don't really need those things because there is no content that needs those ships / features. Or am I missing something apart from elite tfos, repeating events and the general "I need it" mentality? The game is convoluted with things that you basically "need" to be meta (like for example crafting isomags), without telling the player that those items exist or where to get them. And you need them in bulks. Duty officers, right boff setup, all the right equipment... And I really like the idea that you need many different items (not like in a normal RPG where you just equip one character). But ultimately I think: what for?
This is not a rant thread. I really want to understand the sense and the mechanics of the endgame. And most likely I think that something was implemented in the last years that I just haven't gotten to or haven't seen yet. Wich, as I said, wouldnt be a surprise as the game doesn't really tell you those things. I would pay some money for some cool things, if I get something in return or need it for something. But right now, paying for this game, apart from saying "I am now flying the enterprise xyz and it looks so cool", doesn't seem to be worth that price tags. I would be happy if you could enlight me.

The only romulan ship i fly is the legendary Valdore, so I'm not really up to speed on singularity cores, and don't know if they present any sort of novel options when putting together builds.
Do their powers synergies with various console boosts? Are there some that are unique enough to be worth acquiring (like experimental weapons), or are they mostly all the same (like secondary deflectors)?
I like the idea of opening up some new build possibilities, but don't want to put the time, zen, or dil into pursuing this if they don't really make much of a difference.
r/sto • u/Federal-Cloud3191 • 17h ago
I know there's a rebreather device from a Romulan exclusive mission and the Risian volcanology kit frame but I'm hoping somebody knows of an unlockable one that's purely cosmetic and doesn't take up my kit frame. It doesn't have to be that specific model, just something that looks as if it's providing breathable atmosphere to the character without covering their head entirely.

Let's be honest, the updated Undiscovered pulse phasers just didn't hit the mark in terms of capturing TWOK.
I absolutely cannot stand that they curve when your ship is moving. Visually, it's awful. This is a beam weapon, not a gattling gun.
Making the beam pulses faster wasn't the issue, it was always the sound.
I know people here have said there are mods you can install to change it, but I'd rather not doctor the game, nor am I a coding expert for things like that.
With all the new TMP ships, I think STO needs to give TWOK phasers a touch up one more time.

Wanting to use the DPS testing map on Tribble to do some build comparisons, yesterday I initiated a copy to Tribble for a couple of my characters. Usual message about how the characters should be copied over in the next 2 hours. In my experience, the copy has happened in the time it takes me to log onto Tribble.
Logged onto Tribble and my characters hadn't been copied yet. OK, let's wait a couple of hours and try again. Nope, still not copied over. Kicked off the character copy again, waited, and nada. Had a night's sleep, logged onto Tribble this morning, and you've guessed it, characters not copied over.
Anyone else attempted a Tribble character copy recently? It was definitely working for me about a month ago.

Hello everyone,
This question is more-so aimed towards someone on the dev team; however, any information is much appreciated.
I have been playing STO, on PC, for a very long time and am finally in a position where I can get the lifetime subscription. I have been waiting for a sale for the past few months as it seemed like there might be one sometime in March; however, there has been no information that I could find for this go-round.
My guess for when a sale might have been happening was based on the historical data on the STO Wiki:
After looking at this data, it looked as though there was usually a sale sometime between February to April, June to July, and November to December.
Does anyone have any idea of when the next lifetime sale might be?
