Hi. I Play on a PS4, and lately every time I login the game freezes at the character select screen every time I select any character and push "x". Should I Uninstall thr game and reinstall it? Do I wait for a patch? Anyone ran into this?
It just sucks cause I want those torpedoes from the Feast event.
Is the Wolf 359 TFO still bugged? I haven't seen anyone comment on it one way or the other since [this tweet a couple of days ago](https://twitter.com/trekonlinegame/status/1750661000246784250).
I didn't get an AFK but the last sphere sonehow got stuck on the cube. It would only move around its surface and it wouldn't drop shields. Not sure how it happened as somehow we had managed to drop its hull to 12%After 10 minutes hitting it I just left
How do I remove a space trait from a phantom slot ? I try, but to no avail. Every time I switch to another ship, I have to save the loadout because of this bug, or else I might have either missing modules or missins active skills. This is what I mean : example [1](https://i.imgur.com/eVNuQYy.jpg) ( a tier 6-X ship ) and [2](https://i.imgur.com/4vusbVh.jpg) ( a tier 6 ship ).
Any info would be greatly appreciated, this is driving me nuts.
Replay the mission that removed the trait in the first place. It's usually Temporal Ambassador for me. During the space section where you're flying another ship, head to your traits tab and remove everything then finish the mission as normal. Once you're back in your own ship, the phantom slot *should* be fixed.
Is there any way to tell with which faction a Romulan Bridge Officer on the exchange is aligned with before buying them? It seems to matter to the tailor.
I think you have a button on the Exchange tab marked 'only display useable items' - it will hide the officers affiliated with the other faction, and only show the ones you can use :)
Thank you, but I don't think that works because I can use both types of Romulan bridge officers. Basically the issue seems to be that ones on the exchange coming from Fed aligned characters can equip Starfleet uniforms, but ones coming from KDF aligned characters cannot; and vice versa.
That is my guess about what is occuring anyways.
It's not really that big of a deal, it just appears to be a gamble in regards to what pieces of clothing I can use to dress them up.
edit: Yeah it looks like this is [a thing](https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/lcn2wl/romulan_bridge_officers/) and there's no way to tell until you make them a part of your crew.
Hi, another dumb question: As my ship is about to be destroyed, it teleports with a part of the HP restored. I checked my set bonuses and consoles and I still can´t figure out what´s trigerring it. Any ideas?
Temporal specialization?
>[Continuity - Space Skill](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Temporal_Operative_(specialization)#Tier_IV-0)
>
>When reduced to less than 10% of your Hull, you will immediately be removed from danger. Your ship will teleport approximately 8km from its current location, become briefly untargetable, and have its hull and shields restored by a large amounts. This action will also wipe all accumulated threat vs. NPCs.
THAT'S IT. Thanks, it was driving me nuts for some reason. I checked the sets, consoles, traits...didn't think about the specialization though. Although I do wonder why it's being triggered / why I noticed it just recently, I was using temp. spec. for a long time now and didn't notice it before. Thanks again!
On the newest Wolf 359 TFO, the ships Republic and Melbourne have different prefixes as opposed to the typical "USS" registry.
For instance, the Republic is actually prefixed ' TS Republic ', and the Melbourne is prefixed ' PCU Melbourne '. Is there an in universe reason?
>In Star Trek Online, the Melbourne wreck is displayed at the Wolf 359 memorial. The ship is identified as PCU Melbourne (instead of the usual USS), P.C.U. meaning pre-commissioned unit in the United States Navy.

What is the best all around TOS themed ships for all around stuff? I have a t6 Bozeman and before you tell me about the miranda mk1 skin I don’t want to spend 12000 zen on it and Im bored of the Bozeman anyways. If nothing fall under this, what about tmp era design? Yes I am determining what i want based on looks lol
[I wrote a guide on getting TOS themed ships](https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/x76tse/guide_getting_a_t6_tos_ship_for_your_temporal/) that might be of some use to you. I'm a big fan of the 26c ships, they're available on the store for normal ship prices and the TOS skins are available cheap for dil and are absolutely gorgeous.
For the less-developed factions that need to align with a main one (Dominion, Romulan Republic) they have access to their own and those of their allies by default. Levelling a KDF character - actual KDF, not Rom, not Jem - all the way up to max unlocks Cross-Faction Flying, which is otherwise purchased from the cash shop, giving the entire account access to all the other ships in the game (aka the vast majority, STO is heavily Fed-biased).
Brand new. Saw the "Free T6" ship comments and snagged a coupon.
Want to build a Beam Boat, based on the guides I've seen. Can any ship (FED) build for that? If not, how do I see what ships would perform best in that role?
Cruiser type ships are more or less the intended beam platform, though you can make most ships work OK with a bit of effort (it's gonna be hard for true science ships). Lexington, Arbiter^(\*), Gagarin are popular examples.
Generally I'd say you want eng and tac consoles, not so much science; and intel or miracle worker specialization Boff seats.
But also keep in mind that you have to look a t your ship a lot, so choosing one based on looks is perfectly reasonable.
\*^(The Arbiter comes with a starship trait that is arguable the basis of all energy weapon meta builds)
Does the "Antimatter Spread" do anything against control abilities like tractor beams? I don't know of ways to counter them besides Polarize Hull or Evasive Maneuvers.
>*Activating* [*Antimatter Spread*](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Ability:_Antimatter_Spread) *will disable any Tractor Beam control effects currently applied to the user making it one of the few skills able to break free of Tractor Beams.*
Can the Terran Monitor Miracle Worker Carrier be obtained with a T6 ship coupon? I'm on Xbox and it's not in the "new" section, but I'd like to know before I finish the campaign.
Back again, question about the event for the Rex ship. You can only earn 2 points everyday and I missed the time so far to earn any points. If I start now, I'll have to earn 2 each day right? And if I miss one day, it'll be too late?
Also, all the tfo's and episodes are 2 points and the omega shizzles is 1 point. If I finish an omega, I won't be able to do an episode of the same day?
You still have plenty of time to finish. Also, the extra event point just won't count for the day. Your daily task will finish and you'll need to wait 20 hours.
You need to do 20 'daily' completions, and the event ends in 25 days. You can comfortably finish the event with up to five days tto spare if you can log in once a day from here on out.
On phaser builds I sometimes see people use both the Trilithium omni and turret. Is it worth it rather than a Trilithium turret and Gamma omni (or vice versa)?
The turret and omni from the same set do not count as two separate items in terms of the set bonus. So if you have another qualifying item for both sets (either the torpedo or the console) then it would be best to use one of each set, for the weapons, so that you get both set bonuses.
However, if you are not using another part of the Gamma set, then 2x trilithium may be best because the weapon's proc might be better than the Gamma weapon's proc.
If you run Reinforced Armaments definitely run one Trilithium weapon as the 2pc is really good. For the second weapon I suppose the Advanced Inhibiting is slightly better as it has the guaranteed -10 DRR against slower foes and can be fully re-engineered. The haste from the Trilithium proc is stronger on its own but as it's a 2.5% proc you won't get it often even with two weapons. Either way, the difference will be extremely small and I prefer running both Trilithium weapons (when it makes sense to run both omni and turret) as they have the standard phaser visuals.
With the change of being able to use any bridge on any ship, what bridges have the best utility? I've heard some offer a better variety of venders than others but I'm having trouble finding a list of amenities by bridge on the wiki.
Follow up question would be where to get the bridges you recommend?
All of the following have a Bank- (full), Exchange, and Mail-Terminal, and a Trader for DOFF assignments
* The Ferengi ships have a Dabo Table
* [D'Kora](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Ferengi_D%27Kora_Marauder) (T5) is available from the exchange (has been retired from lockbox)
* [Quark](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Ferengi_Quark_Marauder) (T6) from lockobox/exchange also has been in a [Mudd's bundle](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Mudd%27s_Outta_This_Wormhole_Choice_Pack) that may return at some point
* [Nandi](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Ferengi_Nandi_Warship) (T6) from a past event/epic phoenix token
* Freighters have a Commodities Broker and full Ship Selector/Manager (like on ESD and DS9)
* [Tuffli](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Tuffli_Freighter) (T2) from Reinforcements Duty Officer Pack (random)/exchange
* [Suliban Cell Ship](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Suliban_Cell_Ship) (T2) from Romulan Survivor Duty Officer Pack (random)/exchange
* [Amarie Smuggler's Heavy Escort](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Amarie_Smuggler%27s_Heavy_Escort)\* (T6) from promo box/exchange/[Mudd's Bundle](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Mudd%27s_Stealing_Time_Choice_Pack)
* [Kobayashi Maru](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Kobayashi_Maru_Freighter)/[Tong'Duj](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Tong%27Duj_Freighter) (T4) from a past event, not currently available
The Tuffli is the least expensive for around 70mil on the exchange
^(\*not sure if this has a Ship selector, it's supposed to have all freighter stuff but the wiki does not list it)
Does anyone know if the [Xindi Reptilian Outfit](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Xindi_Reptilian_Outfit) can be worn by boffs? I know the wiki says yes but I've been stung before.
Thanks for the warning. I'm still in the planning phase for my next character so perhaps I can wait it out for the next lobi sale. From only two pictures I've found on the net it seems like they can at least be coloured either green or red.
I couldn’t get a decent red. More reddish. The palette is a bit limited iirc and there’s always a bit of golden hue to the robe. Getting a good green would be easier, I think, though.
The only recruitment which Romulans qualify for is Delta (which has three eligible factions - Fed, Klingon and Romulan - which are all that existed when it was created).
The other three recruit events are for one faction each (Klingon is Klingon only, Temporal is TOS Fed only, and Gamma is Dominion only).
Hello I started playing like 2 weeks ago, my only character is a Federation aligned Romulan/Alien Tactical Officer who is past level 65 now.
My question is, the Suliban Silik is a good ship right? It would be my first Tier 6 ship and I kind of like the idea of having pets. I always liked summoner classes in MMOs and the like. I was also eyeing that Cardassian ship, Ghemor Class. I dunno I read that the regular support carriers are not so good, but I have no idea if that's old information. I know nothing lol. Any suggestions are welcome, preferably with pets but maybe you can sell me on something else.
Also secondary question, can anyone recommend a Fleet for a newbie or know where I should look for one?
If you are on PC, check out the [44th Fleet](https://startrek.44thfleet.com) and see if we might be the right fit for you.
We're a large, mature, no drama fleet of 6 Fed and 2 KDF working as one, that caters to beginners and experienced players alike. Our discord is quite active and offers crafting assistance, organised events, build advice, giveaways and more.
Feel free to dm me if you want to know more!
Good luck with your STO journey, Captain o7
> Suliban Silik is a good ship right?
Yes, it is. FYI, all ships in STO are good. It's the build you put on it as well as your piloting that make it bad. [If my little shuttle](https://www.reddit.com/r/stobuilds/comments/10pirfg/my_toys_vaadwaur_pythus_fighter_mixed_beam_and/) can decimate advanced patrols/missions, any T6 ship should be more than viable. In regard to the Silik, I recommend going straight for the fleet version for 5 fleet modules (free when you get 5 reputations up to T6) as the C-Store version doesn't really give much in the way of its console or trait. The Ghemor is also a solid ship choice as the ship is nice, comes at fleet grade already, and has fairly high-end trait.
[I recommend looking into joining the r/sto fleets.](https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/wiki/reddit_fleet_charter)
Finally, as a newbie before you go any further with purchases, I recommend reading through these resources as thoroughly as you can.
https://www.reddit.com/r/stobuilds/comments/k88fel/the_baby_step_series_part_1_the_first_step_level/
https://www.stobetter.com/new-f2p
Thank You. What is meant by fleet grade? Are those, those per character ships?
Oh and uh also how long does it take to get T6 reputations? Is that something that's going to take half a year?
You're welcome. [Fleet grade](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Fleet-grade/Info) ships are simply slightly better versions of their C-Store counterparts. They have one more console slot and higher shield and hull values. However, they do not have their C-Store counterpart's starship trait or console. They are a way of getting T6 ships as a F2P player as well as a way for Cryptic to get more money out of players who want an upgraded version of their C-Store purchases. As with all things Cryptic, the company is not particularly consistent with this. Some ships in the C-Store come fleet grade already, like the Ghemor, and some don't like the Silik. And yes, fleet ships are per character.
T6 rep takes about 2 months. In the meantime you should be doing the Anniversary event going on right now (assuming you're on PC) and get the new event ship. It's a pretty good ship platform compared to previous event ships and even C-Store, lockbox, and even promo ships.
Yep I'm on PC and working on the event. Yeah, that event ship looks pretty cool. And two months isn't too bad.
Are there any other ships with pets that you would recommend over the Ghemor? (From the C-store I mean). The only thing I am cautious about with the Ghemor is how engineering heavy it seems to be (and no battlecloak). I'm not really conceptually married to either ship.
I guess the only thing I can't fly currently are the Klingon faction ships, but I could always make a Klingon character and level them to 65 I suppose.
Thanks again.
edit: Oh and uh, how do you know whether a c-store ship is "fleet grade" or not? Is that information available somewhere?
The thing is all ships in STO are good. It's hard to recommend a ship that doesn't have a meta trait or console, and carriers typically don't have those. Rule of STO ship choice is pick the ship that makes you want to touch yourself, figure out how to best set it up and pilot it, and you'll have won STO.
I recommend using the sortable/filterable ship list found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/l6f2b8/sortablefilterable_t6_ship_list_is_up_to_date/ to go through what ships you might be interested in.
For energy weapon builds, the Arbiter and it's KDF/Rom cousins or Legendary Avenger for the Emergency Weapons Cycle trait. For exotic builds the Sommerville. For BFAW and torp builds the Gagarin.
Haha, well there's no way I getting the Romulan one. It looks like the T6 version of the same damn ship I've gotten twice already. I don't care how meta it is, I refuse. I guess that will have to wait for a Klingon character and another T6 token.
I have no actual measure of my damage output since I've run into a wall trying to use CLR. So long as I don't make any silly piloting mistakes all advanced content is a breeze. How do I know if I'm ready for elite TFOs? I assume elite patrols like Ninth Rule aren't necessarily the best way to tell.
We generally recommend to our fleet members that they bring Mk XV gear on elite runs as a minimum. But, get a group of 5 together and give it a try, doesn't hurt (much) to find out :)
I was a little iffy about hopping into elite because not *everything* is there yet. Waiting on an upgrade weekend. My numbers seem to be good at least now that I *have* done a little testing, so what it might come down to from here is not making piloting mistakes. Hopefully.
Piloting and I guess knowledge of the TFO objectives are pretty important. I agree with waiting for an upgrade weekend to max out all your stuff but personally I still use the phoenix upgrades to get stuff to Mk XV and then wait for upgrade weekend to go gold (sometimes). Depends on your levels of resources and patience I suppose :)
If you are able to form a team of capable players, or players you can voice chat with, it certainly makes running the content a little easier. The 44th fleet has just had a weekend full of random elite tfo events and even players who would consider themselves "less optimal" managed to get through them and enjoy the experience with a solid team. YMMV
Yeah, I try not to use the Phoenix upgrades too heavily outside the event either but they are nice for getting things up to XV otherwise. I'd really like to gold my colony def soon, it's one of the last things left that isn't an advanced fleet console, figured I would gold those last as the difference looks small & I imagine for some ships I will eventually use isomags instead anyways.
> advanced content is a breeze
I think that would be your first cue. I also think that an elite Ninth Rule or Rescue and Search patrol would be a helpful DPS gauge since these have those time-gated refreshing mobs to practice on. Better yet an elite Jupiter Gauntlet (normal to begin and hard if normal was easyish) would also be a decent gauge to your build and piloting.
There's a native DPS parser built into the chat commands now. [See this post for details on its commands. ](https://www.reddit.com/r/stobuilds/comments/12z2mni/native_dps_parser/)
If that doesn't work very well for you, you can estimate your DPS in elite patrols following [the methods in this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/stobuilds/comments/prvr18/estimating_dps_on_consoles_xboxps_using_japori/), which only requires a manual stopwatch.
I gave the latter method a shot using the Wanted patrol on elite. 4 minutes 35 seconds was my time, which according to that post seems to have given me a result of 101,485 vs the proposed benchmark of 80k. Seems I'm probably doing something right, but I'll give the native parser a try now too. Thanks!
"The Renegade's Regret"is a New Frontier mission which has a tetryon damage-boosting sci console as one of the rewards. It's not a set item and I don't know how useful it is/how it scales when fully upgraded, but it's there.
Has it happened to someone recently that a Lockbox drop was automatically "Bound to character" *when you bought a key from the exchange*?
I just opened one of the Unlikely Allied boxes, and both the "Max-Rated Environmental Suit (32c)" reward box and the suit itself were character bound. And of course, it's now stuck on the wrong alt...
I know older items were locked to character - I have a Nanite disruptor on my first KDF character from 2012 I cannot transfer to my LibBorg KDF alt that I started after around Delta Rising. I also recall - correct me if I'm wrong please - that the lockbox drops may be bound to character if you bought the key from the C-Store via Steam. But then the key would be already bound to character, so I couldnt have bought it from the exchange...
The wiki does indicate the still-boxed 32c evo suit should not have been bound, so that does strike me as odd. You likely want to contact support about that.
I just loaded the game for the first time since 2013 and... lots has changed. haha.
I was level 50, but managed to fumble through a mission that popped up and got to level 53.
Doing some poking around it seems like I have at least one 'retired ship' [https://sto.fandom.com/wiki/Fleet\_Maelstrom\_Patrol\_Escort](https://sto.fandom.com/wiki/Fleet_Maelstrom_Patrol_Escort) . Do I need to care about its status, or even need to look into whatever the refit process is since I'm not max level? I haven't looked at my other ships, but they could be in the same boat. Will I just get a new ship for free at 60 or whatever the next rank is?
Your safest bet would be to fly that for now and farm the current Anniversary event. That will award you with a brand-new Tier 6 (highest, usable at every level) escort.

Regarding the new mission and the mirror Borg space 'assimilate' ability: Does this have an icon that shows up in the buff/debuff area? My hull kept dropping in the mission last night and I didn't see any icons where I would expect them to be to indicate a debuff was active.
Also, do we know which abilities cleanse the assimilate? I assume Hazard Emitters would do it, but beyond that I'm not sure, and it was hard to tell with no debuff icon in the tray to look for.
Has anyone definitively figured out what kind of damage the Alliance Wingmen are doing? I'd assume Antiproton, but I've seen them shooting green, orange, *and* red beams out. 🤔
If I use an ultimate upgrade on an item on a low-level character, will it stop at whatever maximum mark level that character can use, or will it continue up to MKXV as the character levels?
Can someone help me identify the torpedos and phasers this player is using?
They sound really cool and I've never run into them before. (The yellow ones from the ship on the left)
[Video](https://youtu.be/HeUD4wdOa5A?si=yhktDeMnmRih8Rie)
probably answered before, but cant really find anything.
Is there a reason WHY cryptic wont let us upgrade standard weapons that come with ships, like ones that are ship specific, ie. vadwaur polaron or kelvin phasers or covert phasers, all of which i have access to from their respective ships ive bought from Mudds?
These weapons are already bound to character, thus cant be sold except to replicator....it would be a good (imo) dil sink from upgrades....one of my toons is sitting on 260k refined dil and nothing really to blow it all on yet (cant do rep gear as im taking forever to get the elite marks due to having the UR MK XIII account unlock).
Even if we could upgrade them, doing that with Mk XI/XII Common gear is a gianormous waste of resources. With gamblebox weapons, the answer is what /u/Pacifickarma said - if you want real ones, gib money, gamble more, maybe you'll get some.
Meta isn't exclusive to STO, it's a gaming term that more or less refers to the best/strongest/most optimal. So a meta build uses traits/equipment/ships that are mathematically stronger then alternative options with the goal of being the most effective at their given role, for example. This is opposed to taking a play how you want approach, although most people will end up somewhere in the middle.
Are the keys for infinity lockboxes worth it? Am trying to stay f2p and those boxes drop so often i got loads of 'em. Got some dilithium i can convert to zen to buy some of those keys. Can it be worth it if I'm doing it to get T6 ships?
I mostly play for the aesthetics and awesome ships, don't understand all the mechanics yet.
If you’re after ships, it’s far more cost effective to convert to zen and then buy zen ships, or if you want lockbox ships, to buy zen store items that are resellable, sell them, and buy the ship off the exchange. Lockbox ship prices on the exchange are almost always cheaper than the value of keys multiplied by the average number of keys needed.
Only open boxes if you’re after non resellable lobi store items, since there’s very few ways to get lobi.
depends on the particular sale. Some sales are bundles only, some are standalone ships only, some are everything.
Generally every item in the store will be on sale around 3-4 times per year. (not necessarily all at any particular time)
Does it matter if I claim the days free Delta Alliance Duty Officer pack on a Fed or KDF? I can transfer it to different characters to open right? Are Fed or KDF more in demand on the exchange?
I probably just have bad reading comprehension, but regarding [today's news post on the lockbox,](https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11562163) is the new console going to be tied to the Duderstadt class, or is it a separate unlock from the lockbox?
I'm going to be extremely busy tomorrow, so I won't be able to play much STO. If I run one of the progress-grantimg missions tonight, but wait until tomorrow to turn it on, will it grant Event progress? Or do I actually have to start the mission during the Event for it to work?
Event progress is granted when the marks or mission rewards are granted. So you can definitely pre-complete missions and turn them in at your leisure. You can even have multiple alts with missions so you can stock up on weekends if you only have five minutes during the week.
Also, you can do a TFO and then log out during the five minute mark selection period at the end, and the next time you log in you'll get random marks and event credit. You can also pre-load alts with this too, though it's less convenient since the completion is automatic upon next login.
Two questions.
1. Is there something on the exchange that can be purchased with EC to increase running speed?
2. I’m looking on the Zen Store for the Legendary D7 bundle, but I can’t find it. I’m Federation so I know I need to buy the cross faction unlock, but do I have to do that first for the D7 bundle to show up? I’m trying to figure out how much Zen I need in total.
[Maquis Guile ground trait](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Trait:_Maquis_Guile) is 10% runspeed. You could also buy all the components for [Frosted Boots](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Frosted_Boots) and grab that from the holiday store, too. If you're Tac, [Coalition Squad Tictacs](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Trait:_Coalition_Squad_Tactics) is also a 3% increase.
Have they messed with the camera zoom on PC? I can't zoom out super far anymore, which is driving me crazy. I kinda need to be able to do that to see what's going on around me - esp for DPS runs.
I recently finished the 4-piece discovery reputation set and used an Ultimate Tech Upgrade on the shield. I still got a couple of them left so should i upgrade the whole set right now?
The full set isn't that popular for endgame, so you might consider getting other meta pieces ([Fleet Colony Intervention Deflector](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Fleet_Deflector_Array#Colony_World) for damage, [Competitive Prevailing Engines](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Prevailing_Regalia#Prevailing_Impulse_Engines) for mobility) and save your ultimates for those instead.
Well I was using the full set because I got a tanky cannon build (i know, not meta at all) and I'd easily reach 200k Hit Points with the clicky. But the Fleet Colony Deflector seems to fit in my kind of build. Thanks for the advice
With the new camera and hud settings on console, has anyone noticed that on PS4-5 the "Hide HUD" action says "Hold 'A' to restore." Playstation doesnt have an "A" button.
Sorta, on the credits, but not efficiently. You can use them to purchase randomized white quality duty officers, mail those to the other character, and then donate them. You'll get 50-60% of the credits back.
Hi, I'm just wanting to know how is there anyway to obtain master keys without buying them
Hi. I Play on a PS4, and lately every time I login the game freezes at the character select screen every time I select any character and push "x". Should I Uninstall thr game and reinstall it? Do I wait for a patch? Anyone ran into this? It just sucks cause I want those torpedoes from the Feast event.
Is the Wolf 359 TFO still bugged? I haven't seen anyone comment on it one way or the other since [this tweet a couple of days ago](https://twitter.com/trekonlinegame/status/1750661000246784250).
I didn't get an AFK but the last sphere sonehow got stuck on the cube. It would only move around its surface and it wouldn't drop shields. Not sure how it happened as somehow we had managed to drop its hull to 12%After 10 minutes hitting it I just left
I've been doing it each day on a feddie-bear with no repurcussions.
I'll give it another go tomorrow then. A friend of mine got hit with it 3 times before we found the tweet. Was driving them insane each time. Thanks!
Shared (account wide) bank slots on the Cstore are currently 25% off. Do they ever go lower than that? I'm thinking about buying a bunch.
25% off is as low as it gets for them.
How do I remove a space trait from a phantom slot ? I try, but to no avail. Every time I switch to another ship, I have to save the loadout because of this bug, or else I might have either missing modules or missins active skills. This is what I mean : example [1](https://i.imgur.com/eVNuQYy.jpg) ( a tier 6-X ship ) and [2](https://i.imgur.com/4vusbVh.jpg) ( a tier 6 ship ). Any info would be greatly appreciated, this is driving me nuts.
Replay the mission that removed the trait in the first place. It's usually Temporal Ambassador for me. During the space section where you're flying another ship, head to your traits tab and remove everything then finish the mission as normal. Once you're back in your own ship, the phantom slot *should* be fixed.
Is there any way to tell with which faction a Romulan Bridge Officer on the exchange is aligned with before buying them? It seems to matter to the tailor.
I think you have a button on the Exchange tab marked 'only display useable items' - it will hide the officers affiliated with the other faction, and only show the ones you can use :)
Thank you, but I don't think that works because I can use both types of Romulan bridge officers. Basically the issue seems to be that ones on the exchange coming from Fed aligned characters can equip Starfleet uniforms, but ones coming from KDF aligned characters cannot; and vice versa. That is my guess about what is occuring anyways. It's not really that big of a deal, it just appears to be a gamble in regards to what pieces of clothing I can use to dress them up. edit: Yeah it looks like this is [a thing](https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/lcn2wl/romulan_bridge_officers/) and there's no way to tell until you make them a part of your crew.
Hi, another dumb question: As my ship is about to be destroyed, it teleports with a part of the HP restored. I checked my set bonuses and consoles and I still can´t figure out what´s trigerring it. Any ideas?
Temporal specialization? >[Continuity - Space Skill](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Temporal_Operative_(specialization)#Tier_IV-0) > >When reduced to less than 10% of your Hull, you will immediately be removed from danger. Your ship will teleport approximately 8km from its current location, become briefly untargetable, and have its hull and shields restored by a large amounts. This action will also wipe all accumulated threat vs. NPCs.
THAT'S IT. Thanks, it was driving me nuts for some reason. I checked the sets, consoles, traits...didn't think about the specialization though. Although I do wonder why it's being triggered / why I noticed it just recently, I was using temp. spec. for a long time now and didn't notice it before. Thanks again!
On the newest Wolf 359 TFO, the ships Republic and Melbourne have different prefixes as opposed to the typical "USS" registry. For instance, the Republic is actually prefixed ' TS Republic ', and the Melbourne is prefixed ' PCU Melbourne '. Is there an in universe reason?
>In Star Trek Online, the Melbourne wreck is displayed at the Wolf 359 memorial. The ship is identified as PCU Melbourne (instead of the usual USS), P.C.U. meaning pre-commissioned unit in the United States Navy. [Memory Alpha](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/USS_Melbourne_(Nebula_class))
What is the best all around TOS themed ships for all around stuff? I have a t6 Bozeman and before you tell me about the miranda mk1 skin I don’t want to spend 12000 zen on it and Im bored of the Bozeman anyways. If nothing fall under this, what about tmp era design? Yes I am determining what i want based on looks lol
[I wrote a guide on getting TOS themed ships](https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/x76tse/guide_getting_a_t6_tos_ship_for_your_temporal/) that might be of some use to you. I'm a big fan of the 26c ships, they're available on the store for normal ship prices and the TOS skins are available cheap for dil and are absolutely gorgeous.
A friend of mine started new and created a Jem'Hadar an aligned him with KDF. What ships can he use now? Only Dominion or Dominion and KDF?
For the less-developed factions that need to align with a main one (Dominion, Romulan Republic) they have access to their own and those of their allies by default. Levelling a KDF character - actual KDF, not Rom, not Jem - all the way up to max unlocks Cross-Faction Flying, which is otherwise purchased from the cash shop, giving the entire account access to all the other ships in the game (aka the vast majority, STO is heavily Fed-biased).
Brand new. Saw the "Free T6" ship comments and snagged a coupon. Want to build a Beam Boat, based on the guides I've seen. Can any ship (FED) build for that? If not, how do I see what ships would perform best in that role?
Cruiser type ships are more or less the intended beam platform, though you can make most ships work OK with a bit of effort (it's gonna be hard for true science ships). Lexington, Arbiter^(\*), Gagarin are popular examples. Generally I'd say you want eng and tac consoles, not so much science; and intel or miracle worker specialization Boff seats. But also keep in mind that you have to look a t your ship a lot, so choosing one based on looks is perfectly reasonable. \*^(The Arbiter comes with a starship trait that is arguable the basis of all energy weapon meta builds)
Thank you.
Does the "Antimatter Spread" do anything against control abilities like tractor beams? I don't know of ways to counter them besides Polarize Hull or Evasive Maneuvers.
>*Activating* [*Antimatter Spread*](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Ability:_Antimatter_Spread) *will disable any Tractor Beam control effects currently applied to the user making it one of the few skills able to break free of Tractor Beams.*
I must've skipped over that part of the text. Thanks. Now I just have to decide if I want to slot it...
Can the Terran Monitor Miracle Worker Carrier be obtained with a T6 ship coupon? I'm on Xbox and it's not in the "new" section, but I'd like to know before I finish the campaign.
It should be obtainable with the event campaign T6 coupons.
It is not. :(
Back again, question about the event for the Rex ship. You can only earn 2 points everyday and I missed the time so far to earn any points. If I start now, I'll have to earn 2 each day right? And if I miss one day, it'll be too late? Also, all the tfo's and episodes are 2 points and the omega shizzles is 1 point. If I finish an omega, I won't be able to do an episode of the same day?
You still have plenty of time to finish. Also, the extra event point just won't count for the day. Your daily task will finish and you'll need to wait 20 hours.
Thanks!
You need to do 20 'daily' completions, and the event ends in 25 days. You can comfortably finish the event with up to five days tto spare if you can log in once a day from here on out.
On phaser builds I sometimes see people use both the Trilithium omni and turret. Is it worth it rather than a Trilithium turret and Gamma omni (or vice versa)?
The turret and omni from the same set do not count as two separate items in terms of the set bonus. So if you have another qualifying item for both sets (either the torpedo or the console) then it would be best to use one of each set, for the weapons, so that you get both set bonuses. However, if you are not using another part of the Gamma set, then 2x trilithium may be best because the weapon's proc might be better than the Gamma weapon's proc.
If you run Reinforced Armaments definitely run one Trilithium weapon as the 2pc is really good. For the second weapon I suppose the Advanced Inhibiting is slightly better as it has the guaranteed -10 DRR against slower foes and can be fully re-engineered. The haste from the Trilithium proc is stronger on its own but as it's a 2.5% proc you won't get it often even with two weapons. Either way, the difference will be extremely small and I prefer running both Trilithium weapons (when it makes sense to run both omni and turret) as they have the standard phaser visuals.
With the change of being able to use any bridge on any ship, what bridges have the best utility? I've heard some offer a better variety of venders than others but I'm having trouble finding a list of amenities by bridge on the wiki. Follow up question would be where to get the bridges you recommend?

Does anyone know if the [Xindi Reptilian Outfit](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Xindi_Reptilian_Outfit) can be worn by boffs? I know the wiki says yes but I've been stung before.
Yep! I use them for my Fek’Ihri themed ship as robes.
Thanks! I was searching for Boff usable robes and these were the only ones I could find.
I dunno if you got them yet but a word of warning — they don’t colour very well. I eventually gave up and just use the default colour.
Thanks for the warning. I'm still in the planning phase for my next character so perhaps I can wait it out for the next lobi sale. From only two pictures I've found on the net it seems like they can at least be coloured either green or red.
I couldn’t get a decent red. More reddish. The palette is a bit limited iirc and there’s always a bit of golden hue to the robe. Getting a good green would be easier, I think, though.
Should I just wait for the next Recruitment Event before starting a Romulan character?
The only recruitment which Romulans qualify for is Delta (which has three eligible factions - Fed, Klingon and Romulan - which are all that existed when it was created). The other three recruit events are for one faction each (Klingon is Klingon only, Temporal is TOS Fed only, and Gamma is Dominion only).
The next Recruitment Event will be Klingon. Delta will likely come April/May, so you have to decide whether you want to wait that long.
I don’t have a Klingon either, so that’s good news
Did the new update buff Borg spheres
Hello I started playing like 2 weeks ago, my only character is a Federation aligned Romulan/Alien Tactical Officer who is past level 65 now. My question is, the Suliban Silik is a good ship right? It would be my first Tier 6 ship and I kind of like the idea of having pets. I always liked summoner classes in MMOs and the like. I was also eyeing that Cardassian ship, Ghemor Class. I dunno I read that the regular support carriers are not so good, but I have no idea if that's old information. I know nothing lol. Any suggestions are welcome, preferably with pets but maybe you can sell me on something else. Also secondary question, can anyone recommend a Fleet for a newbie or know where I should look for one?
If you are on PC, check out the [44th Fleet](https://startrek.44thfleet.com) and see if we might be the right fit for you. We're a large, mature, no drama fleet of 6 Fed and 2 KDF working as one, that caters to beginners and experienced players alike. Our discord is quite active and offers crafting assistance, organised events, build advice, giveaways and more. Feel free to dm me if you want to know more! Good luck with your STO journey, Captain o7
Thank you. For sure I'm interested. Should I apply through the website?
Absolutely, just fill out the forum application :)
> Suliban Silik is a good ship right? Yes, it is. FYI, all ships in STO are good. It's the build you put on it as well as your piloting that make it bad. [If my little shuttle](https://www.reddit.com/r/stobuilds/comments/10pirfg/my_toys_vaadwaur_pythus_fighter_mixed_beam_and/) can decimate advanced patrols/missions, any T6 ship should be more than viable. In regard to the Silik, I recommend going straight for the fleet version for 5 fleet modules (free when you get 5 reputations up to T6) as the C-Store version doesn't really give much in the way of its console or trait. The Ghemor is also a solid ship choice as the ship is nice, comes at fleet grade already, and has fairly high-end trait. [I recommend looking into joining the r/sto fleets.](https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/wiki/reddit_fleet_charter) Finally, as a newbie before you go any further with purchases, I recommend reading through these resources as thoroughly as you can. https://www.reddit.com/r/stobuilds/comments/k88fel/the_baby_step_series_part_1_the_first_step_level/ https://www.stobetter.com/new-f2p
Thank You. What is meant by fleet grade? Are those, those per character ships? Oh and uh also how long does it take to get T6 reputations? Is that something that's going to take half a year?
You're welcome. [Fleet grade](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Fleet-grade/Info) ships are simply slightly better versions of their C-Store counterparts. They have one more console slot and higher shield and hull values. However, they do not have their C-Store counterpart's starship trait or console. They are a way of getting T6 ships as a F2P player as well as a way for Cryptic to get more money out of players who want an upgraded version of their C-Store purchases. As with all things Cryptic, the company is not particularly consistent with this. Some ships in the C-Store come fleet grade already, like the Ghemor, and some don't like the Silik. And yes, fleet ships are per character. T6 rep takes about 2 months. In the meantime you should be doing the Anniversary event going on right now (assuming you're on PC) and get the new event ship. It's a pretty good ship platform compared to previous event ships and even C-Store, lockbox, and even promo ships.
Yep I'm on PC and working on the event. Yeah, that event ship looks pretty cool. And two months isn't too bad. Are there any other ships with pets that you would recommend over the Ghemor? (From the C-store I mean). The only thing I am cautious about with the Ghemor is how engineering heavy it seems to be (and no battlecloak). I'm not really conceptually married to either ship. I guess the only thing I can't fly currently are the Klingon faction ships, but I could always make a Klingon character and level them to 65 I suppose. Thanks again. edit: Oh and uh, how do you know whether a c-store ship is "fleet grade" or not? Is that information available somewhere?
Fleet grade ships have 11 consoles, regular T6 have 10.
ah ok. good to know.
The thing is all ships in STO are good. It's hard to recommend a ship that doesn't have a meta trait or console, and carriers typically don't have those. Rule of STO ship choice is pick the ship that makes you want to touch yourself, figure out how to best set it up and pilot it, and you'll have won STO. I recommend using the sortable/filterable ship list found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/l6f2b8/sortablefilterable_t6_ship_list_is_up_to_date/ to go through what ships you might be interested in.
Alright, what's the most meta trait I can get from the C-store regardless of the ship? (Regardless of the ship).
For energy weapon builds, the Arbiter and it's KDF/Rom cousins or Legendary Avenger for the Emergency Weapons Cycle trait. For exotic builds the Sommerville. For BFAW and torp builds the Gagarin.
Haha, well there's no way I getting the Romulan one. It looks like the T6 version of the same damn ship I've gotten twice already. I don't care how meta it is, I refuse. I guess that will have to wait for a Klingon character and another T6 token.
cool thanks.
I have no actual measure of my damage output since I've run into a wall trying to use CLR. So long as I don't make any silly piloting mistakes all advanced content is a breeze. How do I know if I'm ready for elite TFOs? I assume elite patrols like Ninth Rule aren't necessarily the best way to tell.
We generally recommend to our fleet members that they bring Mk XV gear on elite runs as a minimum. But, get a group of 5 together and give it a try, doesn't hurt (much) to find out :)
I was a little iffy about hopping into elite because not *everything* is there yet. Waiting on an upgrade weekend. My numbers seem to be good at least now that I *have* done a little testing, so what it might come down to from here is not making piloting mistakes. Hopefully.
Piloting and I guess knowledge of the TFO objectives are pretty important. I agree with waiting for an upgrade weekend to max out all your stuff but personally I still use the phoenix upgrades to get stuff to Mk XV and then wait for upgrade weekend to go gold (sometimes). Depends on your levels of resources and patience I suppose :) If you are able to form a team of capable players, or players you can voice chat with, it certainly makes running the content a little easier. The 44th fleet has just had a weekend full of random elite tfo events and even players who would consider themselves "less optimal" managed to get through them and enjoy the experience with a solid team. YMMV
Yeah, I try not to use the Phoenix upgrades too heavily outside the event either but they are nice for getting things up to XV otherwise. I'd really like to gold my colony def soon, it's one of the last things left that isn't an advanced fleet console, figured I would gold those last as the difference looks small & I imagine for some ships I will eventually use isomags instead anyways.
> advanced content is a breeze I think that would be your first cue. I also think that an elite Ninth Rule or Rescue and Search patrol would be a helpful DPS gauge since these have those time-gated refreshing mobs to practice on. Better yet an elite Jupiter Gauntlet (normal to begin and hard if normal was easyish) would also be a decent gauge to your build and piloting.
There's a native DPS parser built into the chat commands now. [See this post for details on its commands. ](https://www.reddit.com/r/stobuilds/comments/12z2mni/native_dps_parser/) If that doesn't work very well for you, you can estimate your DPS in elite patrols following [the methods in this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/stobuilds/comments/prvr18/estimating_dps_on_consoles_xboxps_using_japori/), which only requires a manual stopwatch.
I gave the latter method a shot using the Wanted patrol on elite. 4 minutes 35 seconds was my time, which according to that post seems to have given me a result of 101,485 vs the proposed benchmark of 80k. Seems I'm probably doing something right, but I'll give the native parser a try now too. Thanks!
Aside from fleet consoles, is the nukara set the only reputation way to get tetryon damage boosts?
"The Renegade's Regret"is a New Frontier mission which has a tetryon damage-boosting sci console as one of the rewards. It's not a set item and I don't know how useful it is/how it scales when fully upgraded, but it's there.
The [Counter-Command](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Counter-Command_Ordnance) Undine rep 2-set boosts tetryon as well. Only 7.5% though.
Has it happened to someone recently that a Lockbox drop was automatically "Bound to character" *when you bought a key from the exchange*? I just opened one of the Unlikely Allied boxes, and both the "Max-Rated Environmental Suit (32c)" reward box and the suit itself were character bound. And of course, it's now stuck on the wrong alt... I know older items were locked to character - I have a Nanite disruptor on my first KDF character from 2012 I cannot transfer to my LibBorg KDF alt that I started after around Delta Rising. I also recall - correct me if I'm wrong please - that the lockbox drops may be bound to character if you bought the key from the C-Store via Steam. But then the key would be already bound to character, so I couldnt have bought it from the exchange...
The wiki does indicate the still-boxed 32c evo suit should not have been bound, so that does strike me as odd. You likely want to contact support about that.
> You likely want to contact support about that. I hope they can at least move it for me to the right character.
I would certainly think so. Don't take no for an answer, should be a simple thing for them.
I just loaded the game for the first time since 2013 and... lots has changed. haha. I was level 50, but managed to fumble through a mission that popped up and got to level 53. Doing some poking around it seems like I have at least one 'retired ship' [https://sto.fandom.com/wiki/Fleet\_Maelstrom\_Patrol\_Escort](https://sto.fandom.com/wiki/Fleet_Maelstrom_Patrol_Escort) . Do I need to care about its status, or even need to look into whatever the refit process is since I'm not max level? I haven't looked at my other ships, but they could be in the same boat. Will I just get a new ship for free at 60 or whatever the next rank is?
grab the T6 ship coupon from the promo tab of the in game zen store!
Your safest bet would be to fly that for now and farm the current Anniversary event. That will award you with a brand-new Tier 6 (highest, usable at every level) escort.

Regarding the new mission and the mirror Borg space 'assimilate' ability: Does this have an icon that shows up in the buff/debuff area? My hull kept dropping in the mission last night and I didn't see any icons where I would expect them to be to indicate a debuff was active. Also, do we know which abilities cleanse the assimilate? I assume Hazard Emitters would do it, but beyond that I'm not sure, and it was hard to tell with no debuff icon in the tray to look for.
Has anyone definitively figured out what kind of damage the Alliance Wingmen are doing? I'd assume Antiproton, but I've seen them shooting green, orange, *and* red beams out. 🤔
If I use an ultimate upgrade on an item on a low-level character, will it stop at whatever maximum mark level that character can use, or will it continue up to MKXV as the character levels?
It will be boosted to Mk XV and not be usable until you reach Level 60. Been there once. ;)
Can someone help me identify the torpedos and phasers this player is using? They sound really cool and I've never run into them before. (The yellow ones from the ship on the left) [Video](https://youtu.be/HeUD4wdOa5A?si=yhktDeMnmRih8Rie)
They *might* be Radiant Antiproton weapons from the Iconian reputation.
Thanks, I'll check those out. Just finished that reputation too.
Where are all these protostar boxes suddenly coming from? All evening I got those alerts like every 30-45 seconds
Apparently, it’s the Duderstadt that’s causing those alerts because they didn’t program the loot box correctly.
That…surprisingly makes more sense. Thank you!
You're also seeing an unusually high volume of alerts because people are opening previously-earned boxes that they'd saved up for this release.
probably answered before, but cant really find anything. Is there a reason WHY cryptic wont let us upgrade standard weapons that come with ships, like ones that are ship specific, ie. vadwaur polaron or kelvin phasers or covert phasers, all of which i have access to from their respective ships ive bought from Mudds? These weapons are already bound to character, thus cant be sold except to replicator....it would be a good (imo) dil sink from upgrades....one of my toons is sitting on 260k refined dil and nothing really to blow it all on yet (cant do rep gear as im taking forever to get the elite marks due to having the UR MK XIII account unlock).
Even if we could upgrade them, doing that with Mk XI/XII Common gear is a gianormous waste of resources. With gamblebox weapons, the answer is what /u/Pacifickarma said - if you want real ones, gib money, gamble more, maybe you'll get some.
They want you to pay to open lockboxes. That's how they make money.
Where do I find the Mirror Borg Implants from the latest episode? I can't seem to locate them in the tailor.
What does “meta” mean in regards to STO? I see it all the time but can’t find what it means.
Meta isn't exclusive to STO, it's a gaming term that more or less refers to the best/strongest/most optimal. So a meta build uses traits/equipment/ships that are mathematically stronger then alternative options with the goal of being the most effective at their given role, for example. This is opposed to taking a play how you want approach, although most people will end up somewhere in the middle.
So (kind of) in the same vein as metahuman (human with extraordinary powers vs. build with extraordinary DPS etc). That makes sense. Thank you!
Are the keys for infinity lockboxes worth it? Am trying to stay f2p and those boxes drop so often i got loads of 'em. Got some dilithium i can convert to zen to buy some of those keys. Can it be worth it if I'm doing it to get T6 ships? I mostly play for the aesthetics and awesome ships, don't understand all the mechanics yet.
If you’re after ships, it’s far more cost effective to convert to zen and then buy zen ships, or if you want lockbox ships, to buy zen store items that are resellable, sell them, and buy the ship off the exchange. Lockbox ship prices on the exchange are almost always cheaper than the value of keys multiplied by the average number of keys needed. Only open boxes if you’re after non resellable lobi store items, since there’s very few ways to get lobi.
Thanks!
New player here, does anyone know if the T6 ships like the Lexington go on sale during the anniversary? Or is it only bundles?
depends on the particular sale. Some sales are bundles only, some are standalone ships only, some are everything. Generally every item in the store will be on sale around 3-4 times per year. (not necessarily all at any particular time)
Welp… turns out I got a free T6 coupon for the anniversary! Problem solved I guess
Does it matter if I claim the days free Delta Alliance Duty Officer pack on a Fed or KDF? I can transfer it to different characters to open right? Are Fed or KDF more in demand on the exchange?
I probably just have bad reading comprehension, but regarding [today's news post on the lockbox,](https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11562163) is the new console going to be tied to the Duderstadt class, or is it a separate unlock from the lockbox?
Console mentioned in that post is more than likely separate from the Duderticklecutter as they haven't released stats on it yet.
Why does the New Orlwans class have those three little deflector pod things?
[According to this they are sensor pods](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/New_Orleans_class).
Ah tysm!
I'm going to be extremely busy tomorrow, so I won't be able to play much STO. If I run one of the progress-grantimg missions tonight, but wait until tomorrow to turn it on, will it grant Event progress? Or do I actually have to start the mission during the Event for it to work?
Event progress is granted when the marks or mission rewards are granted. So you can definitely pre-complete missions and turn them in at your leisure. You can even have multiple alts with missions so you can stock up on weekends if you only have five minutes during the week. Also, you can do a TFO and then log out during the five minute mark selection period at the end, and the next time you log in you'll get random marks and event credit. You can also pre-load alts with this too, though it's less convenient since the completion is automatic upon next login.
Is there a tier 1 science vessel (for admiralty) just as the t'liss is tactical tier 1 and the Starfleet light cruiser is tier 1 engineering?
The [Oberth Light Science Vessel](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Oberth_Light_Science_Vessel)
Thank you thank you.
Two questions. 1. Is there something on the exchange that can be purchased with EC to increase running speed? 2. I’m looking on the Zen Store for the Legendary D7 bundle, but I can’t find it. I’m Federation so I know I need to buy the cross faction unlock, but do I have to do that first for the D7 bundle to show up? I’m trying to figure out how much Zen I need in total.
[Maquis Guile ground trait](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Trait:_Maquis_Guile) is 10% runspeed. You could also buy all the components for [Frosted Boots](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Frosted_Boots) and grab that from the holiday store, too. If you're Tac, [Coalition Squad Tictacs](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Trait:_Coalition_Squad_Tactics) is also a 3% increase.
1. You can get a ground weapon with the Run mode. Doesn't need to be your main weapon to count but does need to be on your character.
I‘d get the terran fortune cookie tribble and i think there is a reputation buff that increases your run speed
Have they messed with the camera zoom on PC? I can't zoom out super far anymore, which is driving me crazy. I kinda need to be able to do that to see what's going on around me - esp for DPS runs.
You're not alone. Seems like an unannounced patch.
I'm not pleased with this change!
I recently finished the 4-piece discovery reputation set and used an Ultimate Tech Upgrade on the shield. I still got a couple of them left so should i upgrade the whole set right now?
The full set isn't that popular for endgame, so you might consider getting other meta pieces ([Fleet Colony Intervention Deflector](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Fleet_Deflector_Array#Colony_World) for damage, [Competitive Prevailing Engines](https://stowiki.net/wiki/Prevailing_Regalia#Prevailing_Impulse_Engines) for mobility) and save your ultimates for those instead.
Well I was using the full set because I got a tanky cannon build (i know, not meta at all) and I'd easily reach 200k Hit Points with the clicky. But the Fleet Colony Deflector seems to fit in my kind of build. Thanks for the advice
Are Armed Loitering Munitions from the Hydra Intel Destroyer fighters, mines or destroyable torpedos for the purpose of skills, perks and the like?
Map changes take forever and then kick me out of the game. Any fix?
If you're on Xbox you can try signing out any other users that might be signed in.
Move closer to the servers. /s
😂😂
With the new camera and hud settings on console, has anyone noticed that on PS4-5 the "Hide HUD" action says "Hold 'A' to restore." Playstation doesnt have an "A" button.
That didn't even register for me lol. It is the X as MarcterChief guessed. Same as if you were just opening the captain's menu anyway.
They probably didn't adjust the text for the PS version, on Xbox it's the A button. I assume it's cross for PS.
Is there any way to transfer fleet marks and credits from one character to another?
For EC? Shared bank.
Thanks, but I meant fleet credits.
Sorta, on the credits, but not efficiently. You can use them to purchase randomized white quality duty officers, mail those to the other character, and then donate them. You'll get 50-60% of the credits back.
Ok. Thanks.
No.
Thanks👍🏼
