Release Notes - Feb 12, 2010
Greetings!

The team has been hard at work not only adding new content to the game, but addressing the bugs you are reporting.

We are increasing our presence in the forums to ensure that the team is aware of issues you are having. Please continue to report the bugs that you find.

edit: We are taking advantage of the unscheduled downtime to push this new update now instead of the previously scheduled 3am update.

Release Notes

* Fixed a crash that was happening often on high traffic social maps like Earth Space Dock.
* Made some improvements to ease lag during peak play times. We will continue to monitor and are working on additional performance increases.
* It has been very difficult to find rare anomalies in Star Clusters. We have put in a fix to ensure that all anomalies have a better chance of being scanned and discovered. This should also help improve Memory Alpha trade.
* Lower level repeatable missions no longer show on your remote contact options unless you are in the area where they take place. For example, if you are in Cardassian space, you will no longer see Grall in your remote contacts asking you if you want to explore Delta Volanis.
* Crystalline Entity is no longer located at sector XXX, system YYY. We now tell you the proper sector block to find the Fleet Action in.
* There was a UI bug with the Science Bridge Officer power “Dampening Field I” in the skills window. Based on the skills UI, it looked like the skill had been incorrectly training into the Commander-rank slot instead of the LT commander slot. If this has happened to you, it appeared that you lost two powers. We hope to fix this when you log in so that you will see that Dampening Field I is now in your LT Commander slot, and your prior Command power is still there. As Dampening Field I was intended to be a Commander power, we are working on another version which will be the correct Commander power which will be introduced into the game in a future patch, and at that time we’ll remove the LT Commander version from the power store.
* Some players had acquired ships that were not slotting properly as ships and showing up as bridge officers instead. A fix has been put in that will fix these characters up when they log in.
* Pre-order bonus TOS Federation uniforms now come with skirt options.
* Added missing files to improve French and German translations of game text.
* The Borg were showing up in the B’Tran Star Cluster in missions they should not have had access to, which lead to un-Borg like mission text and behaviors. If you do encounter the Borg in this Star Cluster, the mission will be more appropriate.
* Auto-teaming was not working properly in some sectors. We’ve addressed this issue so that auto-teaming should now function across all sectors.
* Some players were not getting credit for defeating the Doomsday Machine in the Imaga System. This mission has been updated so that all players should have credit for completing the mission regardless of whether they closed the last mission dialog box or not.
* Two new Video Options were added in the prior patch to help deal with overheating issues: Limit Frame Rate and Reduce CPU/GPU Usage. These are available under Options | Video | Advanced | Troubleshooting.
* Frame Rate defaults are now limited to 60fps.
* Also released in the last patch, players who had purchased Pre-Order costume bonuses may now apply those bonus costumes to their bridge officers.
* Ramming Speed was updated to cap modifiers based on speed of ramming ship. We also improved the damage formula to use the smaller vessel's HP as the base, modified by speed and size ratio between both ships involved. In general, ramming similar or smaller sized ships can be tactically beneficial, ramming larger ships becomes a self-sacrificing last resort.
* Emergency Power to Engines - When used in a specific sequence with Evasive Maneuvers, the speed modifier from this ability was improperly applied so that it was multiplied by Evasive Maneuvers. It should no longer matter which order you use these two abilities in - they will stack, but not multiply.

Borg are TUFF!!! Just outfitted my away team with Tetryon (sp?) Rifles to do better damage against their personal shields (5% chance to do 45% damage to shields) and still they get up and try to hug Mr. Veet (my Tac Officer)

The New Story lines DO include a visit from the Enity Q!!!

[Bota1]

Hate to say it but Cryptic is listening to it's fan base...Tee Hee


Greetings Captain!

In this week's update we are focused on addressing performance issues as well as tackling many of the bugs you've been reporting.

We hope that you've had a chance to redeem and send out your buddy keys and look forward to seeing everyone in game!

Here are the release notes for the build scheduled to post at 3am PST February 18.

General

* Power trays were acting strangely and not remembering what you had placed in your first slot. Code has gone in to address this and should now remember what power you place there.
* Work towards improving game performance when the shard is at peak capacity.
* Fleet Bank Updates - Options are now grayed out and disabled for players who don't have permission to change them. The Limit field is now filled with the current limits set. And restrictions should now be working properly. They were not updating until you switch tabs and then back. Fixed a bug where players could circumvent limits that were set.
* There were many areas where if you logged out, you would not log in to the right location. We've gone through the maps and hopefully addressed these so that you always log back in on the last safe static map you were on.
* Renaming should now work properly if you and your Bridge Officer share the same name.
* Fixed an issue where -maxfps was being ignored and always reset to 60 regardless of user options.
* Players can no longer escape to their bridge if they are engaged in combat in a Deepspace encounter.
* Fixed an issue where battle damage was showing up as white or grey blotches on some ships.
* Added space station ambient audio to Deepspace K7 station.


Missions

* Daily missions now start their cooldown from the time the mission was taken instead of from when the mission was turned in.
* Rank up missions complete now if you get your free ship at any time, not just once you have spoken to the ship vendor. This was causing an issue with some characters getting stuck if they talked to the ship vendor contact with odd dialog choices.
* Players who were teamed where not able to complete missions because other teammates where completing mission dialogs and warp before they had completed turning in their mission. This has been addressed so that all players can progress dialogs at their own pace while teamed.
* Level 43+ players entering the Borg Sectors now need to hail the USS Victory and complete the hand-off mission from Admiral Quinn before they can talk to other remote contacts to access Borg related missions.
* Removed some additional Borg Star Cluster missions that were deemed un-Borg-like.
* Added more missing translations of mission dialog and other localized text updates.
* Addressed an issue where players were getting stuck on the Seeds of Dissent mission by sprinting after enemies and ending up behind forcefields.
* The dialog with the Klingons in the PJem System no longer jumps immediately to "Care to repeat your threat, Captain?"
* Fixed the display text on some KLG cardassian missions.
* Sulu is now a remote contact once the player is level 2.
* Fixed a crate on the Sierra Outpost II station in Romulan space that was spawning inside of another crate.
* The crate on the Iconian ground map is no longer giving out too many items.
* Repeatable Star Cluster missions are now set so that they are only offered when you are neary the cluster if you are above the mission level.
* Moved anomalies on Danteri V and Beytan V that were impossible to scan.
* Under the Cover of Night: Den of Thieves: Commander Teleb was becoming unkillable if hit with an exploit. Teleb is now smarter and will hopefully no longer let himself get put in this situation.
* Fixed an issue where the Diplomat could not be rescued or selected in the Diplomatic Solution mission if the player logged out/disconnected and then re-entered the map.
* In the Minefield mission - all of the crates can now be interacted with.


Powers and Combat

* There is now a Commander version of Dampening Field to correct the issue where some officers were receiving it at LT Commander, and removed LT Commander version from the power store.
* Updated display name for space version of Dampening Field to Starship Dampening Field for clarity.
* Dual Bank Antiproton weapons now do antiproton damage instead of phaser damage.
* Science Team, Security Team, and Engineering team can now be activated while your ship is held.


UI

* Corrected the Klingon version of power trays to use appropriate colored borders.
* Updated the UI to select a reward to make it clearer what you are selecting and help alleviate issues where you might not have received the reward you were expecting.
* Contact headshots now have a border around them to make them stand out better against the background.
* Minor layout tweaks to the disabled weapon trays during the Fed tutorial.
* Made it clear in the UI that the first Ship and Bridge Officer rename is free.
* Made it clearer in the UI that changing your Captain's short name (the one used for character identification purposes) requires a micro-transaction.
* When changing fields, UI will now always be enabled so that you can see how much changes cost even if you can't afford them.
* Unconscious away team members will now stand out better on the team UI.
* Disabled away team control buttons for unconscious bridge officers.
* Added some missing Klingon away team UI designs.
* Added the instance number to the map name above the minimap if it's a static map.
* There are now clearer notifications when you've received a new Officer, or Leveled-Up.
* The Run recovery bar is now hidden if you are being held.
* C-Store - Special Unlocks - "One unlock per character" message was not being display until after the item had been unlocked but is now shown sooner.
* Special unlocked costumes were not showing up properly on the log in screen and should now display correctly.
* The log in message now displays appropriate rank instead of level.
* Players are now prompted if they would like to disable the proxy after 2 failed connection attempts.

Tribble Release Notes - March 10, 2010
Hello Captains,

Welcome to the cutting edge of Star Trek Online. Please note that the below list represents what is in the current version of the Season One build on Tribble and not all of what you should expect to see in Season One: Common Ground. We will continue to release the remaining Season One features to Tribble when we feel that they have seen enough internal QA testing to warrant showing all of you.

On to the notes!

New for Tribble
General

* The C-Store is disabled on Tribble. Players will be able to view and select items but purchases will not complete.
* New Starfleet Bridge Officer Rewards: Tellarite, Rigelian, and Pakled. Tellarite officers are also offered at the personnel store.
* Klingon players are now able to access their own star clusters.


PvP

* A new PvP ground assault map is available for all factions: Shanty Town.
* Fed vs. Fed PvP (Wargames) has been opened up for many maps and game types.
* New “Random Map” queues for PvP. Select queues by game type rather than individual maps.
* Assimilation Warzone Maps are now accessible from the Otha System in the Eta Eridani Sector Block and the Qay’ghun System in the Omega Leonis Sector Block.


Captain costumes and customization

* New alien customization options
* New hairstyles
* Added the new stances, Stern and Relaxed, to the costume tailor


Ships and Customizations

* The K'Tanco class Battle Cruiser in now available for Klingons starting at Lt Commander rank.
* The specifications of the K'Tanco Battle Cruiser have been added to the Klingon Empire ship database on Qo'noS.
* New bridges and bridge variants for Klingon faction players.
* Bird of Prey config 1 may now be customized at a ship customization contact on Qo’Nos.
* Raptor config 4 may now be customized at a ship customization contact on Qo’Nos.


Missions and Locations

* Fleet actions are now level banded to make scoring fairer and more challenging for all players. Players who enter a fleet action mission will be sent to an instance with players within a specific level range and enemies on the map will be scaled appropriately. Rewards are also now scaled based on the level band of the Fleet Action you are sent to. This change also makes many Fleet Actions playable for all levels of players, although Fleet Actions still have a minimum level requirement based on the initial mission that offers you the Fleet Action.
* Fleet Action: The Big Dig – is a new Fleet Action available in Romulan Space
* Fleet Action: DS9 Under Siege – is a new Fleet Action available to Federation officers at level 29
* Klingon players may now compete in the Crystalline Entity Fleet Action in the Qutmut System in the Omega Leonis block.
* Klingon players may now compete the Big Dig Fleet Action in the Tiqchirgh System in the Omega Leonis block.
* Klingon Players may now compete in the Breaking the Planet Fleet Action in the Teroka System in the Omega Leonis block.
* A Neutral Faction Bar has opening in the Drozana System in the Klingon/Federation Neutral Zone. Players of both factions may now socialize together before they return to battle.


Audio

* Klingon ship computer notifications will be appropriate for the Klingon Faction


Powers and Skills

* Starship Captain Skills: Updated starship captain skills that only affected a single ship type. These skills now provide 25% of their stat improvement to higher tier ships of the same category (cruiser, escort, etc.) This update addresses the concern that Commander and Captain rank starship caption skills were wasted skill points once the player moved into their next tier of ship.
* New Skill - Starship Attack Vectors: Improves starship accuracy and crit chance.
* New Skill - Starship Combat Maneuvers : Improves starship attack evasion and turn rate.
* New Skill - Starship Battle Strategy : Improves starship crit severity and damage resistance.
* Ability Modifier Changes - Attack Pattern Alpha, Beta, Delta, Omega: These abilities are now modified by Starship Attack Vectors, Starship Combat Manuevers, and Starship Battle Strategy.
* Ability Modifier Changes - Fire on my Mark: This ability is now modified by Starship Attack Vectors, Starship Combat Maneuvers, and Starship Battle Strategy.
* Ability Modifier Changes - Tactical Initiative: This ability is now modified by Starship Command, Starship Combat Maneuvers, and Starship Battle Strategy.
* Ability Modifier Changes - Go Down Fighting: This ability is now modified by Starship Command, Starship Combat Maneuvers, and Starship Battle Strategy.
* Training Node Changes - Attack Pattern Beta III: This ability is now earned by learning rank 9 of Starship Combat Maneuvers for Tactical Captains.
* Training Node Changes - Attack Pattern Omega III: This ability is now earned by learning rank 9 of Starship Battle Strategy for Tactical Captains.
* Ground Stealth Changes: Updated ground stealth to be more in line with space cloak game play. Stealth Module is now a toggle power with unlimited duration, but combat actions cannot be performed while using stealth. Stealth Module is no longer perfect stealth. Its strength is variable based on its version and enemies will be able to detect you at close range. Several abilities can now be used to counter stealth. Tricorder Scan, Target Optics, and Fire on my Mark all now have a stealth debuff element. Engineering fabrications (turrets, mortars, drones) have enhanced perception that can detect an enemy using stealth at longer range. Fire on my Mark in space has also gained a stealth debuff element, making it easier to detect cloaked ships while marked.


Animation

* Players now have access to more emotes!


UI and Controls

* Your ship hull indicator now shows the ship silhouette of your current ship as well as a tooltip giving the ship type
* Chat: The Emote submenu now disappears when an emote is selected, but can be “pinned” by a button press to turn into a moveable persistent window
