NEW MEMBERS
Welcome to the new members this week. STO is a complicated game once you get past the tutorials and the missions. So please take a look at our Tutorials section which details everything from redeeming codes to earning fleet credits, you can find the page here. About two-thirds of the events we play as a fleet are elite difficulty. Don't be put off from joining an elite event. We literally do not care how much DPS you put out, we only care that you are taking part and learning the game, earning MRP and having fun. Remember that most of the CFOPS (team leaders in events) can clear the elite event on their own so you will not be slowing down the team if you are not uber-high in DPS. Please have a go, that's why you joined a fleet.
To find out more about the MRP system please go to this page
DISCORD ETIQUETTE
With more and more new members joining SRS, Discord can become quite busy in the evenings from around 8 pm UTC. Please remember a few things to make it enjoyable for all.
Please do:
Ensure your microphone is not picking up the game noise if you use speakers rather than a headset, this is very off-putting for everyone.
Use push to talk unless you have your system setup so that we cannot hear background noise (the noise cancellation setting in Discord is really good for this)
Let someone finish before speaking yourself, remember you are listening, not waiting to talk.
Try to keep your posts short and to the point
Mute your microphone if you don't feel comfortable talking. If you wish to reply to someone via chat then do it in the game in the new DISCORD channel, not the SRS Armada chat channel as this looks extremely weird to those in game who are not on Discord. If you would like to join the Discord channel in game please type /channel_join SRS Discord
Please do not:
Continually interrupt others, instead wait for them to finish first
Post personal information about yourself in public channels
Talk about politics or religion
Insult other members
Block people. If you block them or mute them then you won't know if they are speaking and you will interrupt them as they are speaking to others. Doing this can get you banned from our server.
Boost the server unless you have spare boosts and don't have anything to spend them on, we don't want anyone spending money on Discord as the prices are ridiculous.
Post obviously offensive material as this could get you a ban, just use common sense.
Enjoy Discord by following the simple guidelines above making it a pleasant environment for everyone.
STAR TREK ONLINE NEWS
Lots of news this week.
First off the remastered Odyssey skin is now available, check it out in this video:
This material can be applied to any Odyssey in the game. Simply go to the tailor once you are in your Odyssey and select on the left side the Odyssey ship model, then make sure the material is also on Odyssey, I would suggest you make the two colours black or dark grey for the best effect, click apply and you're good to go.
Advanced Consoles
Read the blog post for all the details. These new consoles are easy to craft, you need components which can be found under special projects, once you have them you can craft the consoles in the various schools.
The R&D materials you need are found in the following TFOs (thanks to Bella for the info)
Component: Component - Advanced Science Fragment - Enchained Current Piece
Console: [Console - Advanced Science - Energy Field Gradient Projector]
From - Cure Found, Hive Onslaught, Infected: The Conduit, Khitomer Vortex, Defense of Starbase One, Operation Riposte. Swarm, To Hell With Honor
Component: Component - Advanced Science Fragment - Enchained Current Piece
Console: Console - Advanced Science - Energy Field Gradient Projector
From - Bug Hunt, Binary Circuit, Pahvo Dissension
Component: Component - Advanced Science Fragment - Exotic Particle-Wave Piece
Console: Console - Advanced Science - Exotic Particle Amplifier
From - Brotherhood of the Sword. Defend Rh'Ihho Station, Transdimensional Tactics
Component: Component - Advanced Engineering Fragment - Isomagnetic Plasma Piece
Console: Console - Advanced Engineering - Isomagnetic Plasma Distribution Manifold

Component: Component - Advanced Engineering Fragment - Subspace Comm Power Piece
Console: Console - Advanced Engineering - Hangar Craft Power Transmission
From - Vault: Ensnared, Herald Sphere, Best Served Cold
These are subject to update and change as we discover more.
Impact of the new consoles
It is too early to say for sure, but so far it's looking like the Hangar Craft Power Transmission console for hangar pets is looking very powerful. The Isomagnetic Plasma Distribution Manifold in theory could give more DPS than fitting locators or exploiters if you have enough of them, I am currently building these and it will be at least a week before I get the figures back.
Remember that you can only earn these R&D pieces from Elite content and each piece is running for about 3 million EC at present, so these are good earners as there will always be people wanting them but who can't or won't run elite content, this is another excellent reason to join us in our elite events.
NOTE: You cannot use consoles of different professions on your ship. The locators and exploiters you have on your ship now have been reclassified as Advanced Tactical consoles, so you can't use these with any of the new consoles. You won't have room anyway as you will want to drop your universal consoles into the tactical slots to make way for the engineering or science consoles. Remember these consoles stack so the more you have the better the results.
Year-Long Event Campaign
This has started up again and is the third event in the year-long campaign. It also rewards a holographic Beverly Crusher bridge officer with an interesting trait as well as a device to upgrade your fleet support to your allegiance flagship.
NOTE: Once you have earned the Crusher reward keep running the events to increase your year-long total and earn a large amount of dilithium.
Titan - Constitution III - Enterprise G - Promo Box - Average cost to gamble $250, average price on the exchange 1.5-1.8 billion EC
Short Review
Another 4/4 MW cruiser. This ship is somewhat underwhelming, no hangar, can't equip dual cannons, only 1 Lt Universal seat, a very niche console, and an average SS Trait, for the cost it will take to get this thing you could buy 10 C-Store ships, many of which are way better.
The battle cloak is the only advantage this ship has and let's face it half the time that thing doesn't work because NPC interaction pulls you out of cloak as it has done for 13 years and is something they can't or won't fix. It, therefore, comes down to a simple choice, do you want the look of the Titan or not? If you think it looks great and don't care that it will never be meta then maybe you'd be happy with it, for everyone else who doesn't really care for its looks or hero status (and personally I think it's a bit ugly) then it's a very easy pass. The Lexington makes way more sense and is a helluva lot cheaper and can utilise the beautiful new Odyssey skin as well as being account bound! For me, this event will be a way to gain more EC selling promo packs and that's it, I will not be getting it and would advise you guys to get the Lexington instead. ENDS
