What happened to that Exploration Cluster thing? It was still lasers and torpedoes most of the time, but it was framed slightly differently and I do remember one or two missions that had no fighting.

The only time ive really been offended by the 'content' in sto was the tzenkethi? arc where there are finally some folks willing and able to do the right thing about bajorans and instead of help them you are forced to viciously murder them.

Anyone who has rose tinted glasses positive feelings about the old exploration cluster missions needs an optometrist. It was a source of "endless content" in the same way that you can get "endless content" by dumpster diving behind Discount Dan's Previously Gently Used Seafood Emporium.

The poo poo where the prime directive forces you into assisting the kobali, who in voyager are 100% a species of domestic abuse zombies is pretty awful.

Cythereal posted:Well, here's hoping STO isn't leaving steam and becoming an Epic exclusive. Cryptic hardly makes any money from Steam purchases and Epic is highly motivated in moving games from Steam to their platform. So the chances of being an exclusive is pretty likely. It's just extremely bizarre that out of all MMOs, they chose STO. I am curious if they are doing the same thing with Neverwinter and other Cryptic games.

Tunicate posted:apparently it's possible to aggro enemies during the pre-mission paralysis at the beginning of a TFO If I recall correctly the pre-mission paralysis is simply a movement lockout that was introduced a long time after the STFs themselves were. Why? Metrics and padding. Any excuse to slow down a team of players from blowing through infected space in 60 seconds.

Yeah a little bit of a wait is one thing since there's a lot of people playing this lovely MMO on potatoes, but it's like what, a minute of doing nothing? A minute and a half for a few missions? It's blatant padding, much like how every queue added for the better part of two years or more had an extended "guard <thing> for ten minutes" section with trivial but infinitely respawning enemies. Also it's quite possible to kill the group if you pull early, completely breaking the queue since the script only triggers if the group dies on the proper step, and you can't re-kill them after the queue starts.

The extreme latency is unconnected to my actual connection's latency to other internet servers, it's a problem somewhere with the connection to cryptic.

OGS-Remix posted:From what I remember, 1 -> 5 is 100k total rep points. 5->6 is 250k, so 5 -> 6 is actually longer then 1 -> 5. If any alt in the account has the rep at tier 5 already, then the dailies are worth 5k instead of 2.5k. So if another captain on your account has that rep at tier 5 then it only takes 20 dailies to get from 0-5. Otherwise it takes 40. Tier 5 to 6 will take 30 either way as even if you didn't have the 5k/day rate before you will as soon as the current captain hits tier 5 (Cryptic made the original sponsored reps an automatic account unlock a while back).

So, the originial announcement of the rep buyout included a graphic showing three characters standing in armor. Players quickly pointed out that one of the characters was wearing the Tzenkethi outfit which is lobi, not rep armor. But don't worry, cryptic fixed it. By just deleting the character wearing the lobi armor. Here's the original for reference:

Ship and uniform are unlocked on account. *Pack is claimable once per account. *Pack is available to Klingon Captains only.
