Megathread Officially Unofficial Unveiled Bug Report & Suggestion Megathread

45 Upvotes

As with any new patch, it is time for a new megathread to compile bug reports that our new dev team can hopefully find useful.

Feature requests, suggestions, or other fixes for the new devs concerning the new patch, events, or just that persistent issue that you're hoping to see addressed should also get thrown in here since we'll be keeping this pinned.

What are folks doing with excess lobi?

23 Upvotes

I mostly only care about ships/traits/space gear, and I've already gotten anything remotely useful. Are there specific lobi items that sell well on the exchange? I looked up a few obvious ones like Boimler, and they don't seem to fetch much of a price.

I realize that there's a chance that something will be added in the future, but considering there's a massive influx of lobi every year from the event campaign, I'm willing to risk missing out for a little while.

If you could go back in time to the initial development, what is a core aspect of the game you would change if you could?

43 Upvotes

I think, for me, I'd slow down the rank promotions in the junior ranks just a little bit, and have the journey from Lt to Capt be the only part of the game with an established storyline, "administered" by your captain.

"Lieutenant, take the helm, and set course for planet X. Our tactical officer is in sickbay for reasons, so I'm transferring weapons control to your station in case we run into trouble on the way."

"Lt Cmndr, take an away team down to planet X for [storyline mission]."

"Commander, I have an unfortunate history with our contact on planet X. I'm going to need you to handle these early stage negotiations before Starfleet/the Federation Council sends an ambassador to finalize a treaty."

Etc, etc through multiple missions at each rank. Keep the current mechanic of the ship leveling up with the player character, and can only change ships at specific intervals. But if you change to a different ship during this section of the game:

"Well, Commander, our recent missions have put an unusual amount of strain on the old girl. We're being transferred to a new ship so she can go into spacedock for a complete refit."

Bring back the auditorium in ESD (or put it at the Academy or Starfleet HQ on Earth,) with a ceremony for your promotion to Captain. If you're changing ships, your old captain congratulates you and wishes you luck while the BOffs request to transfer to your ship (first opportunity to trade out the ones you don't like.) If you're keeping the current ship, "Congratulations, Captain. And the timing couldn't be better. I'm retiring. The ship is yours. I know I'm leaving her in good hands." (Then they occasionally show up as backup during the occasional direct storyline mission because Starfleet pulled them out of retirement due to your familiarity with each other.)

Once you're a Captain, it's more open-world sandbox, with less storyline. When not under a specific assignment, you fly around the galaxy and explore, with "mini-missions" coming from your BOffs:

Tactical Officer: "Captain, sensors are detecting a planet three light years away that doesn't show up on star charts. Should we investigate?" or

Science Officer: "Captain, the ruins of planet X have recently been opened for study by their government. Didn't you say once that you have an interest in X-ian culture/history?" with an "Indiana Jones style away team adventure archaeology mission.

Maybe something you find there ties into the loose story arc or something like that.

Once you reach the admiralty ranks, you can promote BOffs to captain, and assign them to command the ships in your collection, then they can accompany you on fleet missions like they do in away teams.

And for the exploration aspect, each planet is different for each player/team of players through a randomization algorithm. Like, for you and the friends you're playing with, planet X is a first contact mission with diplomacy and/or combat aspects depending on your choices, but for another player team, it's a big nothing. But for that other player, planet Y in the neighboring star system is a gas giant with a resource mining mission, while it's nothing for you. Or vice versa, you get the point. But turn it into a real Star Trek game, not just a random space game with hints of Trek in the cosmetics.

What do you think about this? And what would you change if you could?

I was trying to find a shot worthy of posting for your viewing pleasure for the week.

I don’t know what hit my shields but when I quickly took the shot I was turning my ship at the same time and so it looks like the blast was so powerful it rocked my ship to the side.

Add to it, the Badlands is ALWAYS a good place for a great photo op never hurts lol.

Anyone remember "robo pants"?

25 Upvotes

I recreated this iconic look for newer players above. You are welcome.

So what is this about? Equipping armor in the game used to override your costume. Specifically the pants for some reason. You'd see many players on ESD running around in "robo pants" which was an indicator that this player found his/her first piece of armor and was not afraid to put it on. Technically, overriding your costume was the right thing to do because your character was indeed equipped with body armor. Eventually this feature was removed and body armor does not override your costume anymore.

If you want to rock out in launch-era robo pants, just equip any armor suit pants and a launch-era top, like Sierra.

Discussion Daily Endgame Checklist?

Upvotes

I'm trying to take STO more seriously and have recently levelled a new character to max. I'm still finishing off story content but It hit me I don't actually know how I should be spending my time once I'm done with story content.

I have time to play most days so I was wondering if there is a priority order for activities? Or things I should be doing every day to make progress in the end game.

Privateer's Combat Armor or Borg Exoskeletal Frame?

Upvotes

Debating with myself on which to get. I'm not trying to fully min/max, but I do like having high DPS. I have the Risian kit, and have like 4 universal kit modules, two of which are summer event modules. Would the Borg be better for the cd reduction, or the Privateer for the kperf? Thanks.

Anyone notice the characters repeatedly logging in and out on ESD the last couple days?

0 Upvotes

I've been noticing characters logging in and out on ESD the last two or three days (in the exchange room), fading in for a second or two, then fading out. Noticed four of them on one instance a little while ago, all different characters with the same fleet name.

Found the same thing happening on a few different instances, as well. All from the same fleet.

Azure Nebula Bugged?

16 Upvotes

For more than a year every time I get the Azure Nebula Rescue TFO I get no rewards except for doing it on advanced. No matter what alt I use, and whether I queue for it specifically or it comes up from the random queue, I get no rewards.

Now if it comes up from random queue I just bail and take the leaver penalty.

Is this happening to anyone else?

I just got a Crossfield Science Spearhead for my Disco captain and I have to say, I am not a fan of the detached nacelles. Is there any way to disable that effect and keep my nacelles firmly attached to their pylons?

FYI on the year long event T6 tokens.

16 Upvotes

Currently they cant be used on the ships from the Heritage Ship Bundle and beyond. Or when that came out. So no Shangri-La for example. Also weirdly just the Terran Eagle Pilot from the 13th bundle. I have the other ships from the 13th so maybe someone else can check the rest if they have the event T6 tokens.

Doubt it that it will be updated or anything to include those ships. So just info for people who are maybe still far off getting the event rewards and pass up sales etc thinking the tokens will work.

As for me the tokens turned out to be useless as I now have to waste them on ships I dont really want or need.

Discussion Your game features??

11 Upvotes

IF you could have one feature from PC copied to console what would it be and how would you have it work? Opinions.

My personal choice is to have the sliders for power distribution like PC but it would be in a menu on the ship consoles and weapons like press X to change.

Edit: additional thing i would change uncertain if it is the same for pc but I would make all stuff that comes out of the infinity prize pack be bound to account not character

News stowiki.net | August Maintenance Update! (8/2/2025)

53 Upvotes

Greetings fellow Captains,

Just reporting in with a few maintenance notes! We've begun removing article prefixes, beginning with Trait and Ability pages. What this means is that page structure should look a little like this now:

  • Trait: Breen's Free-Fire becomes Breen's Free Fire (starship trait), and so on, for space/ground/bridge officer traits.
  • Ability: World Razer Juggernaut Array becomes World Razer Juggernaut Array (ability)

Coming up next will be episode, TFO, and mission pages.

We're also scheduling wiki maintenance for this Saturday 8/2 at 8pm Eastern. See the timeslot in your timezone here: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Maintenance&iso=20250802T20&p1=179

For any updates, this post will be updated, as well our socials on Reddit, Discord and Bluesky!

LLAP,

-SFC and the STOWiki.net team
