Seriously... downloading 15MB in 15 minutes...[/QUOTE] It's been offline yesterday quite a bit during the update, I'll send you a message for the mission later.

I have been playing around with Duty Officers, they seem to be a easy way to get some xp and items while you are away or doing something else. Any tips or tricks on how to be most effective with your duty officers? Are the duty officer packs worth to buy?

[url]http://sto.perfectworld.com/blog/?p=747851[/url] This is a complete load of crap

Not sure what it all means though, I've read through it basically should effect long term player the most.

They've taken away most Dilithium sinks. This effects EVERYONE. Fleets. Players. The DIL market. EVERYTHING.

Well Dil's back for STFS now. Not as much as before but it's back. 920 per run I think it is now.

Does anyone else think that the reputation missions take way too fucking long?

Well STF's take the same amount of time for Omega Marks. Romulan marks are pretty easy to get, just the new fleet actions and patrol missions and the odd mission on New Romulus. They just want the content to last a while.

There is a Zen sale and a Ship sale(vesta line is excluded from the sale). The vesta pack is nice wondering if it is worth buying.

Any chance of an FP fleet invite, if it's still going? it's Morul@Pokey_McFork if you want to send the invite.

[QUOTE=jonoPorter;38599203]I made it...[/QUOTE] Excellent, that would explain why you are in it. So ship sale is over and didn't end up buying any C Store ships.

Is it just me or did the game get harder? I took a little hiatus and now I'm getting raped at every fleet encounter. I used to be able to hold my own against most enemies during those missions, even on elite difficulty. Now I die all the time.

Well I'm trying to do the encounters to get good loot to sell so I can get better gear.

[QUOTE=jonoPorter;38599791]You can have a mirror universe ship from me if you want.[/QUOTE] I didn't know ships were gift/trade able. Would appreciate it but it kinda feels like I'm sucking you dry.

You're able to trade the reward boxes you get from lock boxes. I recently purchased both the mirror cruisers from the exchange.

This years reward is a Breen Ship, but unlike last year, this ship isn't in a chance box, its guaranteed, as long as you do the Race once a day for 25 days of the 35+ days the event is on. From what I can tell, you don't have to win the race, just participate. You can also spend Lobi Crystals [quote]Each day you will be gifted with forty (40) Autographed 8×10 Glossy Pictures of Q upon completing the “Fastest Game on Ice” (the same race seen during last year’s Winter Event). This means that player captains that can participate in the event 25 times during the 35+ days that the Winter Event will be active, will have earned their way to a FREE Starship! If, by some stroke of bad luck, you find yourself incapable of participating in the event the required number of times, this does not mean you’ll have missed your chance to earn the Breen Warship! The Lobi Crystal Consortium is selling “Q’s Appreciation Package” for just 5 Lobi Crystal, which will contain 2-6 of his sought-after Autographs. Although this is a large investment in Lobi Crystals for players seeking to purchase the ship outright, remember that the price can be significantly reduced by simply running the “Fastest Game on Ice” on a daily basis.[/quote]

You get a mission that's repeatable every 20 hours. You just have the beat the AI. A tip for runners - Sprint constantly and turn into the corners and roll. Just got me a pair of Frosted Boots. They sure make it a lot easier to move around on New Romulus and Earth Space Dock.

What's the disagree for SFC3? You do get a repeatable mission that you can do every 20 hours which gives you 40 signed Q photo's and all you have to do is race the AI around the track.

Yeah, I run the Q photo daily for my ship, it'll be the only "freebie" cross-faction vessel I'll have.

You get increased run speed. How is that not useful in ESD? Sure the friction effect takes a lot of getting used to, but increased run speed is always useful. Also, the boots don't have a time limit now.

This weeks Friday Screenshot... OMG [img]http://images-cdn.perfectworld.com/www/pictures/1357927202995.jpg[/img]

So I was checking through the Manifest of patched files for today's update (its a text file written with each patch that lists the files were downloaded or patched) its under "Star Trek Online\Live\.patch\StartrekClient.manifest" There is going to be 3 different versions of both Anniversary ships, T3, T5 and Fleet, the Ambassador Files says "Cruiser2" and "Cruiser4", that is because internally the starter ship is considered 'T0' not 'T1', so 'T3' is 'T2' Ship_Select_Icon_Class_Cruiser2_Ambassador.wtex Ship_Select_Icon_Class_Cruiser4_Ambassador.wtex Ship_Select_Icon_Class_Cruiser4_Ambassador_Fleet.wtex Ship_Select_Icon_Class_Battlecruiser_3yr.wtex Ship_Select_Icon_Class_Battlecruiser_3yr_Retro_Fleet.wtex Ship_Select_Icon_Class_Battlecruiser_3yr_Retrofit.wtex There is a 4th Icon file for the Ambassador suffixed with 'Msn' I'm assuming it stands for 'mission', there isn't a 4th one for the Klingon ship. These icons are the small ones you see next to your ships in the ship selection menu.

So, Three things. First Third Anniversary video [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4cKfh5mmIg[/media] Second [url]http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/01/30/star-trek-online-three-year-anniversary/[/url] (Note the Info graphic says Denise is also playing Sela) Third [url]http://sto.perfectworld.com/sto_may2013[/url] A teaser for something Romulan related coming in May, if you hover over the words at the bottom it says "Match Beneath the Raptor's Wings" Maybe a Romulan faction? Considering the way the sentence is worded "March Beneath" Considering how dark it is, and military like, if it is a faction, its not the New Romulus, but whats left of the old Empire, probably under Sela.

I'm guessing the teaser is the name of the new Season and the release date.
