    No Special Event for Fleet Starbase?

    Each year, an event to upgrade the fleet's Starbase includes a decoration with a holographic image of that year's rewarded ship. As far as I can tell, there is no event this year. Is there a reason?

    Which of the two new event ships do you consider to be the best? The Typhoon or the Nagus Marauder?

    I’m leaning towards the Marauder for stats, but the Typhoon just has that new car smell to it, you know?

    Breen Ship Help.

    So years ago I played on computer and had collected several Breen ships from the winter events, these were by far my favorite ships.

    I play on Xbox now and was wondering if there's any way I can collect these ships again? They're not in the C store and I got them originally by turning in autographs of Q or something during Q's winter wonderland.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Shield regen help please...

    For the longest time when I use 'emergency power to shields' (any of the three) I would get all my shields back. I assumed it was a combination of traits and boffs but as I began to unlock all the tier five reps I started to tailor my traits and boffs to match my builds more directly and now it doesn't happen on several of them.

    It's not necessarily a survivability situation but I would like to have that ability on some beam/ tank builds.

    Since there are seemingly hundreds of traits, does anyone know, off the top of their head, where I can start looking?

    FYI: I do have a loadout on a voth killer that still does this but I'm not seeing any traits slotted (my eng boff has the level 1 ability slotted) that have this in the description.

    Question about bridges interiors.

    So I'm playing on console and bought out the Typhoon event since it was almost over and a reasonable price to buy out. I have a fully leveled Fed toon and I can equip the Battle Bridge to the Typhoon, but when I switch to a lower level Fed Toon and tried to equip it there, the Battle Bridge isn't even an option. So is it just a leveling thing where that particular bridge becomes unlocked later on, or is there just something weird going on here as often happens with STO??

    I’ve never payed much attention to the winter events before, what’s the best/fastest way to get these resources to purchase Best Served Cold?

    They are: Targ Fur Earmuffs, Bolian Candles, Vulcan Incense and Terran Holiday Ornaments

    Is there any way, shape, or form that would let me play this on mobile or switch?

    This has long been one of my favorite games. Xbox broke and using the laptop keyboard to move is uncomfortable. Just thought I’d ask.

    Missing Holographic Ship in WW

    So I guess they forgot to give us the holographic version of the new ship that's usually floating around in the veranda, and that we can usually get for our Starbase...?

    Is there time enough for the devs to get this into the game for us?

    stowiki.net report on the Eleos Intel Scout Vessel!

    Greetings fellow Captains,

    We have a brief write up on some aspects of the Eleos-class Winter Event ship just released today. First, the Universal Seating was confirmed with today's patch to be correct. There is only one dedicated career seat, that is the Cmdr Sci-Intel. (See our Blue Sky post here).

    For those wondering, the name and registry prefixes the Eleos can use are:

    Name: SS, USS or no prefix.

    Registry: NCC or NAR

    Commissioning the new Winter Event ship will give you a random name that fits the style of the name we see in season 3 (S.S. Eleos XII)! Here are some examples on our Blue Sky, and the full list:

    Aceso, Airmed, Anahit, Apollo, Aralez, Clementia, Darrhon, Eir, Guanshiyin, Gula, Hua Tuo, Hygieia, Krishna, Sirona, Soteria

    The names were observed with an added Roman Numeral, ranging from I to XV, or no numeric suffix at all. Fun fact, the Aetherian Revelation and Compiler Dreadnought also feature custom name lists, more on those soon on our ship registry page.

    One further note: the ship also comes with one minor tailor customization option - you can choose between the default blue name and registry, or have it in black. It also includes the special Eurostile stencil font as seen on screen. Check out the two options here (wiki link).

    The ongoing run of the Infinity Lock Box on Xbox and PlayStation will be updated with the Areore Miracle Worker Juggernaut from Star Trek: Lower Decks!

    By Fero December 03, 2024, 10:56 AM

    *Note: Unfortunately, due to a last minute technical issue, the Areore Miracle Worker Juggernaut [T6] will not be available for Captains on Xbox and PlayStation today (December 3rd). We hope to have the issue resolved soon and will keep you updated once we know more.

    The ongoing run of the Infinity Lock Box on Xbox and PlayStation will be updated with the addition of an all-new Starship!

    Beginning today, December 3rd, players on Xbox and PlayStation will be able to command a powerful ship from Star Trek: Lower Decks – the Areore Miracle Worker Juggernaut [T6]. This huge and powerful ancient juggernaut has a full Miracle Worker Primary Specialization and is the first Areore ship to appear in the game. Continue reading further for the full details on this new starship offering!

    Areore Miracle Worker Juggernaut [T6]

    The mighty technological powers of the ancient warlike Areore civilization were thought to be buried for all time. Yet, when the Drookmani came to their planet to claim salvage rights over these vessels, the Areore once again took to space to fight the threat and defend the U.S.S. Cerritos (NCC-75567) against this common enemy. Now, with the ships proven spaceworthy once more, only the best captains can pilot these vast ships and take advantage of their powerful frontal batteries.

    While this console is attached it also increases your Shield Regeneration and Kinetic Damage Resistance Rating.

    The Areore used to be a technologically advanced and warlike species whose Beating Wings could be heard throughout space.

    This trait utilizes their technology to protect your ship when the hull drops below half, and not only repels your enemies but also Placates and Confuses them, while three Areore Hawk Fighters are summoned to protect the mother ship.

    Tooltips

    When reduced below 50% Hull:

    • Creates a 5km pulse which Placates and Confuses all enemies in range in that time.
    • Spawns 3 x  Areore Hawk Fighters who appear at the far edge of the pulse where they engage the enemy
    • May only trigger once per 60 sec  

    Innate Power – Devastation Lance

    Deliver the full force of the Areore’s wrath as the energy created by the ship's systems is coalesced into a devastating combined beam of AntiProton, Polaron, and Tetryon energy.

    Tooltip:

    • 180’ targeting arc
    • AntiProton, Polaron and Tetryon Damage (100% Shield Penetration)

    Since we've got the Nagus...

    Cryptic/DECA caught everyone with their pants down with the amazing giveaway that is the Nagus - this is, however, the perfect opportunity to remind the powers that be, that not only do we still not have a Ferengi ship preffix, but also that the costumes are still not equipable by BOFFs, making it nearly impossible to assemble a decent looking (for a Ferengi) crew.

    On that note is also worth reminding, that year in, year out, and we still can't put Romulan embassy BOFFs in uniform, so DECA, pretty please?

    Ability Bloat

    So...I am a returning player, again. I love the game and that's why I keep coming back to it. However, it seems like there are sooo many abilities now. Between the player's career abilities, the bridge officer abilities, and ship abilities (did I miss any?), I am not even sure how to keep up and it's kind of overwhelming.

    Are there some abilities I should ignore as they aren't useful? Any advice about how to deal with all these abilities? Other thoughts?
