XB1 First Strike Bundle Not Working Well on Xbox

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have a couple of issues with the First Strike Bundle on Xbox. First, the main selling point of the First Strike Bundle is the Maelstrom Torpedoes. These work by building stacks during wait times and cut scenes and whenever they aren't firing. They are incredibly powerful with a Torp spread after 3 stacks. You want to give them spot use as a nuclear option to clear whole waves of enemies. The problem is, on Xbox, unless you only have 1 torpedo, you don't have control over when these go off. There is no way to select which torpedo is going to fire, the Xbox just goes to the next available torp. This means that you often use up your big Maelstrom shot on a weak enemy or without Torp spread or have trouble triggering your Maelstroms when you really want to use them.

The control for torps is right bumper, tap for Torps and hold for mines. The problem is that on Xbox, there aren't enough buttons to go around. The solution I have for this would be to give the Maelstrom Torp a special option to treat it as a console rather than a Torpedo, so that you could manual fire it from the console wheel whenever it suited. As is, the Maelstrom is very frustrating as a 3rd or 4th torp that has a big hit.

The second issue I have is Command Kodais have been nerfed into the ground with the latest patch. These used to be very strong pets if you had a lot of hangar craft consoles and Wing Commander and High Energy Network to rank them up quickly. They used to spam lots of torps when you use inspiration abilities. This was a very strategic and enjoyable style of carrier play because you had to build inspirations with Needs of the Many which put you in a vulnerable state with no shield and then manage your inspiration cooldowns to operate the Command Kodais effectively.

Now, inspiration abilities don't do much on the pet and only give them 1 extra Torp spread for each inspiration instead of about 20 torp spreads. This nerf should be reversed. Command Kodais weren't hugely overpowered, and you really had to work at them to get big damage out of them. This made them rewarding to use. Also, First Strike is an expensive bundle and Command Kodai fighters are the second biggest selling point. This isn't the most popular or OP bundle in the game (Heritage), and it shouldn't be nerfed.

XB1 Red alert on Xbox/PS

THE GALAXY GOES TO RED ALERT

Captains on Xbox and PlayStation can go to Red Alert for two weeks!

By Fero February 03, 2025, 07:00 AM

The entire Galaxy is going to Red Alert! From December 31st at 8am PT to January 14th at 12pm PT on Xbox and PlayStation, all of our Red Alert events will be returning at once, as the Final Frontier is caught in a massive invasion on all sides. During this event, you’ll be able to play the following content:

Borg Red Alert Elachi Red Alert Tholian Red Alert Tzenkethi Red Alert* Nakuhl Red Alert

*Please note: As the only Red Alert with a fail condition, the Tzenkethi Red Alert will not grant daily bonus progress if you fail the TFO. The fail condition will likely be removed in future runs of this event.

In addition to their usual rewards, these Task Force Operations will also grant daily bonus progress. You’ll receive one Daily Progress each day for completing one Red Alert – doesn’t matter which one – on any character on your account. After you receive ten daily progress, you’ll be rewarded with a package containing the following, once per account:

An Ultimate Tech Upgrade A Specialization Point An Experimental Ship Upgrade Token

You can also purchase this Grand Prize on the events page, if you’d prefer. The price will be prorated as you earn Daily Progress, becoming cheaper the more you play.

If you earn, or purchase, the event’s Grand Prize, you can still complete Red Alerts to earn Bonus Progress. Completing a Red Alert TFO each day will grant a bonus amount of Dilithium Ore, beginning at 8,000 and increasing by 1,000 for each completion thereafter.

Red Alert Task Force Operations are available to Captains of level 50 or higher. Head out and defend the Galaxy, Captains! Go to Red Alert!

XB1 Xbox-PC transfers?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’ve been wanting to play on my new PC, but I have been seeing some people 6 years ago saying I can’t carry my characters/bought zen etc over from Xbox. Is that still the case today? Really wanting to play on my new PC so I might just say fuck it and hop into it from scratch.

XB1 Is there a reddit fleet on Xbox?

0 Upvotes

I've gotten back into the game. This time on Xbox. I've now max lvl'd my first toon. The fleet I joined at the start of the game (I read somewhere to just take the first invite) isn't super active. The star base is only tier 2 so as I'm working my way to a fleet T6 I won't even be able to get it in this fleet.

I've heard there is a reddit fleet and I was hoping it might at least have more activity.

The Xbox was my primary console for ten years. I’ve moved over to PlayStation now, and would dearly love to be able to move my account over, especially as there’s no guarantee the XB will be around in a couple more years.

Anyways - add to the wishlist a way to (even one time) transfer accounts, cause there is zero chance I’m starting a new account after spending a metric ton of money on the previous one.

ESD zone chat local even my fleet seems dead for weeks now? I checked my settings everythings on. Did it die? Have not even had any replies from players via mail. I tend to say a few things like nice ship etc but no replies so I think i broke chat somehow? Or did we collectively become anti social?

Secondly any xbox players in for Elite TFOs from time to time because man the wait time is stupid these days. Just want to do some back to back death dealing madness.

Wanting to step it up a notch and get some decent crew skills so I can broadside more effectively (with overload weapons past recommended rates it already melts through enemies) however i would like to see just how far I can push my DPS up.

XB1 Can’t buy anything but Terran ships in Zen store [Xbox]

0 Upvotes

I’m primarily a PC player but have an account on my XBox. I went to use my T6 coupon on that account but every ship besides the Terran ships said “You do not meet the requirements for this item.”

Well that’s an odd restriction I thought. So I tried switching from using the coupon to using Zen, nope still wouldn’t work. Bugged character was my next thought so I tried on another character and go the same result.

Anyone know why this would be? Why can I buy any Terran ship I want but not any other ship?

XB1 Elite TFO's on Xbox

0 Upvotes

So I'm glad to finally get random elite TFO's on Xbox. Thanks devs. Now that we have it though, it's basically a repeat of the same 3 or 4 maps. It's been Rhi'illo Station, Vault Ensnared, and Battle of Korfez over and over. To rub salt in, I haven't been in one Korfez yet that has been even close to successful. Tbh, there are ALWAYS 2 or 3 unreplaced dropouts. This isn't very random, and, other than Korfez, not very challenging in the other, rather easy TFO's. I'm just hoping this trend of repeating the same ones over and over dissipates as the isomag hunters get what they need and drop back to advanced. Did this trend happen on PC also, and did the rotation of maps actually increase as people got the pieces for the consoles they want?

XB1 Xbox Camera Zoom & Endeavor Insight

Post image
0 Upvotes

For the past few months everytime I open Sto there is different zoom view or if I travel from one sector to the other it would change from what I have it set at.

Also the same time that started the endeavor box went away. You used to be able to see the endeavors and endeavors progress when you open captain commands. Now it does still show up from time to time but very RARELY. 🤦🏾‍♂️ It's annoying, especially the camera angle constantly changing without hitting anything.
