PSA - Switching off Lighting 2.0 reduces the painful brightness in ESD

Upvotes

One of today's surprises is someone installing a ton of high power LED's all over ESD. For anyone else who's struggling a bit with it, switching off Lighting 2.0 reduces it to more normal levels.

Discussion The Mudd's Bundle they should have given us - Lower Decks

70 Upvotes

The new Mudd's Bundle that's coming out on Thursday is according to most players here a real let down. The bundle they probably should have released instead was a Lower Decks theme. The three ships are:

California

Parliament

Sh'vhal

All 3 are old enough ships for a Mudd's Bundle and since the show just wrapped up it would sell well right now. Also, the bundle wouldn't be a heavly dps weighted one.

PC Anyone actually be able to remove the eleos console visuals with vertigo?

7 Upvotes

I've been super busy lately so just finally getting around to throwing that on my builds and used the commands found here https://old.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/1h9hcex/eleos_intel_scout_vessel/m17kdod/ and added them to my vertigo txt files and no change, the spinning colors still showing up.

Anyone manage to remove those annoying visuals?

Star Trek Onlines Borg Kingdom redeems the Borg in my Eyes

4 Upvotes

So I finally finished the Trifecta along with TOS and ENT. Overall ENT is kinda tied with TNG with its Borg Appearance. Regenerate was a good episode and yea there was a bit of plot armor but not more than usual when it comes to the Borg. VOY i honestly disliked the Borg for some of the episodes that didnt have to do with Space Combat. I heavily disliked how the Be'lanna, Janeway and Tuvok got assimilated and treated it as if it was nothing. Absolutely absurd. Basically makes what Picard went through like some sort of hippie high trip. But tbh the last two episodes of VOY i honestly treat it as if it never happened.

Anyways onto the actual topic. While for the most part the Borg is still treated as a Joke in STO they are more impactful. Also everyone hates them for evaporating shields with a sneeze. I hate it to but i feel gratification from getting my ass kicked by the Borg in the game. At least until i go against the Vaadwaur and hate myself more. The whole assimilating Planets is really cool. What really gets me is the Borg Kingdom because at the current episode the Borg Kingdom is beating everyones asses.

The biggest thing i love about the Borg Kingdom is that they will attack you while in the cube. Granted in game so doesnt the regular Borg but from context the Borg Kingdom did it first and honestly they actually did a lot more damage. Like it really seems that the Borg in the Mirror Universe is much more deadly than regular universe Borg and when i saw the Iconians getting assimilated i was smiling with Glee. As i was dying multiple times on Ground to swarms of Borg i say this is accurate.

While they still are a joke in a sense that you never really lose to them you do get to see the destruction they do to everyone around you. As in they generally all die while you try to save scraps.

XB Game Crashes on one character

0 Upvotes

Hoping the community can provide some insight. I've already issued a trouble ticket with Arc.

I play on Xbox One (I know, I know) if that helps.

On my main character, the game started to crash intermittently following random TFO'S. Within about a day, it was about 1 in 3 and then poof, it wouldn't load. I can get to character selection but once it moves to the loading screen, it crashes as the bar nears full. No error message or anything. But here's where it gets tricky... I just discovered it's just one character (my main, sadly) and I can load/play on my other characters but if I try to load this one (the main) the game crashes (gets to loading, almost finishes loading then crashes back to home screen).

Has anyone ever encountered anything like this before?

Thanks in advance!

PC My TOS Adventure

Started playing and went Jemmi first because I was currently on season 6 of Deep Space 9 and I was like they have JEM'HADAR So I picked them first. Which was a boon actually as it auto sponsored Omega and Iconian for my Vulcan TOS toon.

So here is me wandering around my ship back when I started. I think I started playing the 9th of December.

Anyways... I saw that there was no walls and was like... Oh well that looks nice and of course I walked to it and past it into the void. My only response was. "Can't believe there was no wall there."
