Also are we getting a larger spec point pool.

The question will be are we getting new ships with this specialisation or are current ships getting retrofitted.

To paraphrase, did they just screw over everyone who shelled out for Tier 6 ships or Tier 6 upgrades just three months ago?

We are one step closer to having a Captain BOff :)

Interesting that they're dropping these on us before...

Is there any reason to hurry to the training/vr ground mods in the intel tree, rather than work the command tree?

So I broke down and bought this game and, while it took me about 30 minutes or so learning how to fly, i'm really liking it. For me, it's everything I've looked for in a game with space travel, exploration, trading, and combat (among other things you can do). Too bad it isn't Trek, but oh well..

I started with the keyboard and mouse, which is doable. But I agree that to get the full experience (short of using Oculus Rift), a joystick and throttle combo is HIGHLY recommended. I broke out my Saitek x45 set from my Flight-Sim days and I am hooked.

The game is in its infancy with a big vision for development. But as a first release, it is SOLID. The universe is basically a 1:1 scale re-creation of the entire Milky Way galaxy, with ~400 billion star systems. Behemoth. All known stars, celestial objects, and currently-known exoplanets are included and added regularly, while the rest of the unknowns are procedurally generated.

There are a lot of beautiful places out there. I too am excited for them to add atmospheric flight and planetary landing, along with better multi-player cohesion. Star Citizen is expected to offer these kinds of features too, but if you're looking to set sail in a vast universe now then, next to EvE online, this game is a contender (if not easier to play!).

Feel free to add me as well, if you'd like. My CMDR's name is Zelryn.

This is a comic strip i have been following for a while, read about Ed; http://edsrus.com/wordpress/?page_id=4

He drinks a lot of coffee, he used to do a coffee shop review every Friday but I think he ran out of new places to visit in the greater Portland area lol.

He is amusing though and i have subscribed.

A good rundown of the upcoming new Doff system

Hey Everyone,

I thought to also advise in a separate post regarding the Patch Notes of new/improved changes that have transpired yesterday or today for certain people.

Please click the following link for the following changes that have been made.

Hey Everyone,

It seems that STO Dev Team have either corrected the issue for character copying from Holodeck to Tribble or it has corrected itself.

You can now commence transferring of characters as of now. If you are experiencing problems with transferring of toons, please make a note of this on the STO Forums in the Tribble Test Server Forums.

Please click the following link for more information.

I'm most excited about the remastered Romulan episodes. I can't wait! I really enjoyed when they did that with the Doomsday Weapon & the Borg episodes. It will help level up my next ship. Of course, I'm still only at level 57 and around the 5th new episode in.... Don't judge! :laugh:

Earlier today or yesterday depending on time zone differences, the STO Dev Team Systems Designer Jeremy Randall aka "BorticusCryptic" placed a blog posting regarding the Captain Specialization.

In the blog post, Jeremy Randall outlines the abilities that are involved with the new system that is being placed on Tribble Server as we speak which involves improving both Ground and Space combat (Tactical) and survivability (Science and Engineering).

to read up on this blog posting, please click this link.

Enjoy.

So TJ went and did a review of the Sheshar, I agree that it works best as a beam boat but now, whenever I deploy my Sheshar Assault Craft I shall say: "launch the Butt!" :laugh:

Just to bring awareness but the Tribble Character Transfer System is currently not working, judging by the amount of people whom have posted on the STO Forums lately.

At this moment of time, transfer from holodeck to tribble isn't available at this moment. I will keep an eye on this for the next couple of days to inform when people are able to commence transfers.

Ah...... I only got to hear about the last 5 minutes of the broadcast that weekend. So my apologies on not catching up on what i had missed. At least now there is a visual of the changes that the Dev Team had mentioned about, plus a clearer outline of what changes.

I do agree on the secondary deflector changes that they have made, it gives the science toon and ships a greater understanding of what each of the three kinds of secondary deflectors types once equipped to the applicable science ships that holds them.

Plus the changes to the icon does improve the look of the game with all of the recent updates and changes to the game itself. (R&D, Specialization, Tier 6 Ships, etc)

Anyways enjoy the read everyone.

We touched on this during the livestream at weekend. Finally science is getting the secondary deflectors as for the best who knows what it will bring. I mean the Intel specialisation alone has had major impacts. Adding a new one in so soon is unexpected.
