I'm not sure. I have seen anything about that. (Then again, I'm not overly interested in the ship, so I may overlook things related to it.)

Have you tested it since these patch notes?

[–] Indy@startrek.website 1 points 6 months ago

I wonder if the "14th" is a typo and/or if the "21st" will be kept as the end date, considering this was posted today (2024 Oct 17).

Agreed. I would have loved to have that kind of callback to the story.

That was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for providing the links to the various segments!

Fair point! I think you're spot on with the quality of the episodes (as game pieces) themselves. Story, meh, but game design/graphics, wow!

We'll see what happens. As the famous trombone player said, "Fate protects fools, little children, and ships named Enterprise."

Well said. And it's been an enjoyable journey throughout.

Some of the stories have been lackluster here and there, but that in itself is Star Trek. Not every show/game/story is going to be for everyone, yet beautifully all are welcome as trekkers/trekkies.

The game will probably soldier on for a significant period of time.

Agreed, but I would adjust that wording (whether "solidering", "limping", or "on life support") based on how the first DECA content feels.

It will probably be in a “zombie” state, not unlike that of Champions Online (as I understand it, I don’t really play that game).

Feels like it has been since 2020, if not a little before, IMO.

We’re closer to STO’s end than its beginning.

STO 2 when? 😛 Joking aside, we really are near its end. I wish that 3D model company hadn't turned and run after taking orders (yes, they refunded eventually); I'd have liked to have some of my ships as models to remember STO.

Personally, I think they were just someone's way to get lines spoken as if from those alien comics (by Nathan Pyle) that are popular online right now. Lines like, "Evasion is beneficial to us" instead of "Watch out". Or "Observe" instead of "Look".

I don't think there's any real story to it or, at least, no story that anyone at Cryptic cared to create before leaving/sleeping on the project.

At this point, with as many years as STO has had, I'm guessing "shard maintenance" is just a chance to clean out the hamster cages for the next week.

[–] Indy@startrek.website 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I didn't even notice this posting. In fact, I was surprised when I saw the shard message in-game today; I figured they were skipping this week.

Console – Universal – Nova Fleet Recruitment Drive

... This device emits a beam which was initially thought to be capable of destroying ships. In truth, it broadcasts a message manipulating low-ranking members of a ship's crew and forces them to mutiny. The chaos and destruction that ensues can range from Bridge Officers seeing their abilities delayed to ships temporarily defecting.

Experimental Weapon – Nova Starburst

This weapon uses a plasma canister as a projectile, this weapons creates a dangerous cloud that deals damage over time to anyone inside it. After a few seconds the plasma is ignited creating an explosion on an area several times bigger than the initial plasma cloud.

Starship Trait – Bold Piloting

... One such case involved tampering with standard engine boosting protocols to achieve greater maximum speed. This let him deal damage to other ships and partially bypass shields by grazing during hot pursuits. Due to stress applied to engine subsystems, Locarno's special move could only be used sparingly....
