Green rakghoul color crystal vs the Green Razor color crystal

• “The two color crystals being discussed are separate items and are subtly different in color … For those who really want detail, I checked the RGB values of both crystals while in use. The ‘SE Black Green Color Crystal’ has RGB values of 217/255/9 at my sample point. The ‘Advanced Black Green Hawkeye Crystal’ has RGB values of 188/255/17 at my sample point (as close as I could to the previous sample point).” StephenReid

Social X Items Temporarily Removed From The Game

• Hi everyone, we had recently discovered an issue that allowed these items to be used in ways detrimental to other player’s gameplay and have taken the temporary step of removing them from availability. We are in process of determining further steps and will likely alter their functionality before putting them back in or replace them with a different but still cool reward. In the meantime, their value has been changed so that they can be sold back to the vendor at no loss. We apologize for any confusion." David White | Systems Designer
• Basics
• Party Instigator, and Party bomb
• Other rewards are in the works or they will come back after alteration
• Cost 100k credits that can now be fully refunded from a vendor
• *Supposed response to a bug ticket *
• “We apologized if the Party Bomb and Party Instigator was removed, since 1.2 patch had just recently started. Our Developers might have something on their sleeves in the future that will make the Social level be useful again and bring back the fun in the game. ”

Ask Cryptic: March 2012 is Here
DStahl’s back
A handy thread explaining (in short) what the Foundry could expect to see in Season 6

STF Loot Bags Explained

When you successfully complete an STF, including the optional objectives, you will have two different loot bags provided –  the personal loot bag and the team loot bag. Obviously, the personal one is loot just for you and the team loot bag, which is obtained from successfully completing the optional objectives, is divided up using the Need or Greed system. The loot you get in those bags is taken from multiple loot tables in the following manner.

Personal Loot Bag:

• Table A – always gives you every item every time which is EDCs, dilithium and a mystery box. This is your GUARANTEED reward for mission completion.
• Table B – always gives you at least one item but can be more which includes Bind On Equip space & ground gear and also Borg Salvage. This means that you will always get something from this loot table but not necessarily the salvage drop.
• Table C – this table contains the high end loot, the Borg tech drops. Everytime you successfully complete an STF the game decides if you should be offered an item from this table. It is 100% NOT GUARANTEED loot. You have a chance to get the tech drop and a pretty low one based on user feedback 1% or lower is suspected right now (unconfirmed). This “roll” by the game engine does not take into account how many STF runs you have done it simply flips a coin to see if you are to be offered a tech drop for this specific STF completion. It is the primary source of making players insane as this heavily gates access to MK XII equipment and sets.

  So for each completion of an STF as a player I will get:

• EDCs / dilithium / mystery box
• 1 or more Bind On Equip space gear,  ground gear or borg salvage
• a chance at getting a Borg tech drop (chance guaranteed, loot not so)

The second loot bag is a shared one across the team based on completing the optional objectives in any STF. It is constructed in a similar way to the personal loot bag but with some key differences.

• only 1 loot table containing all of the items (does NOT include Borg tech drops, EVER)
• usually 4 items from the loot table are offered as a reward to the team (can include salvage)

This shows that the lock boxes that were added to the loot system recently are actually included in a table that has nothing to do with the Borg Tech drops and their minuscule drop rate is therefore a separate issue. The information presented here is derived from a  – post made by Gozer.

J-Man’s tip to avoid ESD to get to Q’s Winter Wonderland:

If you’re trying to get to Q’s Winter Wonderland and would like to avoid ESD, here’s a quick workaround:

* Press “J” to open your Mission Overview (or whatever you have it mapped to)
* Click the “Calendar” button at the bottom of the pane.
* Look for Dec 8th, 2011.
* Double-click on that day’s event to bring up the event pop-up.
* Click the “Transwarp” button at the bottom of the pane that pops up.
* Wait for loading screen to complete.
* Profit!

I sympathize with folks that have an issue loading ESD, and it’s not an issue that’s going completely ignored. Until things improve, please remember functions like the Event Calendar that can help you move around in Star Trek Online.

NEWS:

Massively: Dev Q&A from STLV Convention

• Over-the-shoulder icon to more clearly indicate Borg Adaptation in shooter mode
• New ground set coming with STF revamps unlocks a new cosmetic look
• They’ll also be split into Ground and Space sections to facilitate shorter timetables
• When asked about more functionality in Social Zones, the topic of a new ground combat area was brought up in response (another hint at a Defera revamp?)
• New borg loot drop tables will include all existing Valor and Emblem loots
• When asked about Terradome, Gozer indicated it may not remain an STF in the future.
• Also hinted that ALL missions (including STFs) would at some point become playable at all levels, and auto-scale to players’ levels.
• Clarification posted by DStahl
• There will still be a minimum, but you will not outlevel them.
• Also does NOT refer to ALL missions.

August Engineering Report

• Sounds like the cross-faction STF finder only works with Friends Lists (not open invites)
• Combining Sector and Galaxy maps into a single, scalable map interface

Other than that, not much new in here, but Stahl makes up for that with a heaping helping of…

DANIEL STAHL STAYS STUFF … UPDATE

First, in a thread about the Rhode Island and future variants, he lays details on us about ships to come, and balance philosophies moving forward…

• 16 new ships/variants coming, each with a new mechanic that adds tactical options.
• The new “time-based” currency (Dilithium) will be earnable by all players, at all levels.
• Existing badges/emblems will be translated into Dilithium.
• It will soon be possible to trade Dilithium to other players, for C-Store points.
• Worried other players won’t trade? There is an “enormous vault” of unspent points out there.
• These economy changes are scheduled for Sept 22nd.

Then, he talks about the C-Store and budget concerns of the past…

• Subscriptions are a steady and predictable budget to plan by, but if MTs become steady and predictable enough they can also be planned with.
• Kind of similar to this show in a way… advertisers (when we have them) allow us to plan our expenses out far in advance, while DONATIONS allow us to expand and take risks or cover unexpected costs, when the funds are available.

And then tells us a bit about the future…

• Despite the current forum grumbling, subscriptions are UP.
• “So love it or hate it, we are where we are and I will continue to be frank and open about what is going on to ensure you are informed of where STO is headed.”

What is making STO’s future rosey? Perfect World of course!

• “They (PW) are playing STO themselves and sending me lists of requests and I’m sending back “here’s how many people I needs”… so to answer you question…. STO is about to get more support than it has had in recent months.”
• “Yes they care about Neverwinter and Champions Online as well, but there is no “everyone focus on Neverwinter”. It is more like everyone focus on your existing games and here’s more resources!”

TWEET LEAKS

• DOFF System UI Shots!
• New upgrade to Torpedo Spread / Salvo
• Gozer Tweet: Shot of “The Cure” new space map

REMINDER:
We’re takin’ next week off!
It’s PAX Prime 2011, and we’re gonna be there in a BIG WAY.
Meet-up thread at Jupiter Colony

COMMUNITY FEEDBACK

It’s time to put the focus back onto Fleets…

During the existing content lull, it has fallen to us players to make the game enjoyable on a regular recurring basis when there’s no new shiny toys to keep our attention on a regular basis. This responsibility frequently falls to community leaders, which in this game, are Fleets.

Our question for you: How do you keep your Fleet going strong?

As examples, we’d like to share with you some of the activities that Jupiter Force engages in on a regular basis. And I’d like to preface that we do not run or propose these activities, we’re only figureheads in the fleet, not leaders. So don’t think we’re just bragging here. If anything, we’re giving credit where it’s due to the folks that run this fleet so well.

1) Regularly scheduled events
The in-game calendar can take a little getting used-to, and getting your fleetmates to check it regularly can be a task unto itself. But enough encouragement and involvement can be a self-perpetuating cycle.
* Special themed PvP matches (pistols/melee only, shuttles/runabouts only, etc)
* STF timeslots for newbies, with pre-made teams of 3–4 experts.
* etc, etc.

2) Recognition of involvement
Whether you use a complex system of rank promotions, or handing out in-game loots, all fleet members will strive that much more to be a part of the community, if you give them a reason to try for it.
* JF has just implemented a system of Ribbons that can be added to forum posts, and are earned primarily via participation in Fleet Events.

So, what does YOUR fleet do? Or what would you LIKE to see your fleet do?
