Update- The Dev i talked to came back on at 5am est yesterday and said the following which has been confirmed by fleet members on Tribble server (some of it)

1. BO's will NEVER get respecs- the devs see it as pcs can cheaply retrain new ones.

2. Older tier ships MAY be able to upgrade to be admiral capabl;e later-if they cannot find a way to do it soon then it will not ever happen, Baril said.

3. Klingon pve stuff is coming

4. The new patch will be called "season 1 update " and live withion the next 2 thursdays.

5. Respecs are currently live on tribble server testing (confirmed)

6. He heavily implied Romulajns as next playable race.

I have screenshots of this convo i will post when i sort out the thousands of fraps captures i took

Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

Has anyone else been suffering constant crashes of the game client during  this week? :wtf I can hardly play longer than 5-15 minutes and it crashes.. And it's definitely not my computer that is causing this..

I suggest you put all gfx options as low as they can go and see what happens heh
I'd also make sure all your drivers are up to date on your comp

drivers are up to date as far as I can tell. The game ran well in the beginning, but now..  :wtf :( And it should definitely not be graphics related..

Anyone on the Test Server know what the heck this is? Also the AA in STO sucks makes everything look super blurry.

It's a portal to the Captain's Table, an area for lifetime suscribers only. At the moment it is broken on Tribble. They also plan to move it somewhere less obvious. And yes, it's based on the books. Just a social area.

I THOUGHT there was a catch to it.

Can we change the higher tier ships names? Not that I mind having U.S.S. Balboa etc, but it reminds me too much of those macho Stallone films.. I also made A Gorn character. Is it just me or do they get up the ranks a lot faster than Feds?

A.  Yes you can.  First rename is free for any ship, whether you get it with rank or buy it.

B.  Maybe rank levels are smaller for Klingon characters seeing as they don't really have any PvE missions like the Feds.

C.  New smilies ftw!  :spam:
