@borticuscryptic.bsky.social Also I wanted to ask if there has been any progress on addressing the hold issues with Krenim Chronophage we discussed near the time of release. Thanks!

(1/2) hey there, I am wondering if the new mechanic on the summer ship will persist through into PvP maps and so forth, and if so, if that is intended. Thanks!

As feedback, I would say there shouldn't be gains in PvP based on kill counts that persists through maps...
July 1, 2025 at 7:17 PM
@borticuscryptic.bsky.social One other thing, does each ability have any sort of variable on it which contains where that ability is obtained from? So if you guys ever implemented a system where you wanted to check where something came from, would that be possible or is there no database for that?

@borticuscryptic.bsky.social Hey there, quick question which affects a potential bug report depending how my testing goes.
What is the smallest possible value for an activation time on an ability?

Hey there, I tried to design some improvements for the endeavor system to account for retention concerns, but not so brutal for new players, in particular. It's especially bad for new PvP players. Curious if you think it is reasonable.

@borticuscryptic.bsky.social
hey there, poking around some .demo files in demorecord, It's a bit of a niche question, but do you know what "Processcount" and "Serverprocesscount" variables refers too in .demo files?

Outside of me asking I doubt it will ever come up again, so if unsure, no problem

@borticuscryptic.bsky.social Aux to SIF Placate Patch Confirmed as live, thank you!

I wanted to ask if you had an opportunity to see what I had DMed you on discord a few months ago. As a reminder my discord handle is @data7310.

@borticuscryptic.bsky.social hey there, wanted to check in on the timeline for the Aux to SIF Placate Doff Fix, last we left off was on identifying the immunity to placate on Plt team was not working against the doff, nor was the doffs duration scaling right. Tested after last patch, no change. Thx!

Hey, A few small requests, sry for length.
(1/6) I don't want to keep being a pest, so I'll try and make this my last series request for a while. There is a bug with a certain combination of abilities which is permitting very long periods of untargetable...

Changes to the Kiith Experimental Weapon Today...
Perfect and in line with my recommendation of 15%, this is a good addition to the meta for support oriented fast-attack debuff ships in PvP without being meta breaking or a must slot on damage dealers. Its a great direction for the weapon to go.
May 6, 2025 at 3:41 PM
@borticuscryptic.bsky.social Thank you for the changes to the Kiith Experimental Weapon!

The Auxiliary to SIF Placate DOFFs are one of the easier things that would have a huge benefit as well for playability. All that needs to change is it is not cleared by pilot team at present, but it should be.

I briefly investigated this, focusing on the "triggers when not equipped" issue, but could not locally reproduce that problem. It may be necessary to get a copy of your container to test with, which is best done via CS Ticket escalation.

We're investigating potential solutions for this. Given how the power works (constantly refreshing the debuff to targets in range) it requires a complex solution that we're using as a learning opportunity for our relatively-new Systems Designers.

1) We confirmed that it isn't scaling correctly with certain Exotic Damage bonuses, and we consider that a bug that we are going to fix.

2) By extension of the above, the performance "floor" is too high and will be brought down. To get comparable performance, players should need to build synergies.
That will be a relief to many players.
Do you have any preliminary findings?

Thread - Meta Impact on PvP from "The Partners in Crime" Lockbox for Star Trek Online PvP.

"Harmonic Shield Linkage"
This trait is mostly useless in PvP, there are NPCs of Cruiser rank which should trigger the trait, however normal pets like Type 7's do not.
I give this a rating of "Niche"
