I was really excited when I found that they automatically log your fastest time to complete the Fastest Game on Ice in Q's Winter Wonderland. My fastest is 1:50; this is on a human character (so no Jem'Hadar speed boost), and I just run - no jumping, no stopping. I do have the speed boost from endeavors though, which does...
One of the most infuriating things in this game is reputations. I absolutely hate going through reputations for new characters. I don't mind earning the marks, because that's playing the game, but I loathe going through and clicking every single rep's dailies. Each one is 4 clicks, assuming you're holding down the Ctrl...
Do you know of a storyline mission or maybe an event or patrol map that makes your Space Barbie™ starship look faaabulous? Post your recommendations here! Game ship models have been given some polish, so now is a good time to blaze it whoa, that's an inappropriate autocorrect suggestion memorialize your favorite ships!...
Been pretty quiet on the official news page recently. I know there's been some unfortunate staffing decisions made; I'm beginning to wonder if that's impacted the desire/motivation/time of the usual copy-paste people at Cryptic....
For my next weird build, I would like to try to put together something that only uses the event ships - anniversary, summer, winter - and event items. That means weapons, consoles, and traits. I'm not sure where to start, although an A2B build with Cold Hearted seems like a good foundation. Assume I have all of the event ships...
There are a lot of really good guides out there about ship building in STO. None of that is actually in STO, which is another problem entirely, but that's beside the point. But if you could really boil down the build advice to the barest essentials, for a new player with no resources, what would it be?...
There are things I'd like to see improved in the game - some are obviously big, and some appear to be very small. A couple of the very small things I'd like to see are:...
DPS builds aren't usually interesting to me, unless they're taking a novel approach; most of them end up as cookie-cutter builds with the meta BIS ships/equipment/skills. They can be effective, and I appreciate the challenge in maxing DPS and the piloting skills required, but it's not interesting when everyone is just chasing...

Just a quick little post to share my delight that the STO launcher now has an "Engage" button again, after a brief time with a boring "Play" button....
Hey, m/sto...
Didn't see an announcement, so I don't know if it's a limited time thing. Always nice to get free goodies!
Anyone else notice the new STO Launcher?...
I just completed the 2500 melee kill goal on my KDF recruit, and I did it almost entirely AFK. I figure I ought to share the process for anyone else that may be interested in getting it done with minimal pain. The steps are below:...

Space Barbie vanity shots are welcome here! If you have a shot of your ship/crew or something random you want to share, please post here, by all means. All righty, this here is the C.S.S. HTML JS (NCC-404), a World Razer Temporal Ops Juggernaut that I've been flying for the past few weeks. I can't remember where I took this, but...
This is a free promotional item offered to players as part of the in-game Star Trek Day celebration. You can claim your token in the "Promotions" tab in the Zen store. It disappears at the end of the month, so get it while you can!

This came up in another thread but I thought I'd raise visibility: I got tired of clicking all of my abilities in the skill tray, wasn't interested in keybinds if it just meant hitting my spacebar over and over and over and..., and we can't set any abilities to auto-activate even in the limited way they can on console. In fact...
This is for Xbox & PlayStation...

In the STO lore we've been through an awful lot in just ~2 years - wars or conflicts with the Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians, Borg, Vaadwuar, Iconians (indirectly), Iconians (directly), Hur'q, Klingons (again), Klingons (again), Na'kuhl, Terrans from the Mirror Universe, Devidians, the Orion Syndicate, time-displaced Jem'Hadar,...
I have a maxed out Fed fleet that rarely has any members online. We're a gamma fleet in a mostly dead armada (5%XP bonus, 20% dil discount), but we have about 250 open slots, lots of provisions, I haven't kicked anyone yet for inactivity, and I log on pretty much daily to make sure projects are slotted. If you want to join a...
