    Hey gang long time no see. A few months ago i promised i would give STO another look once F2P came along. Well I am back in STO for a little while to see whats what. To those of you that have been around for awhile... What kind of shape is STO in? The game seems to run smoother then it did last i played.

    What are the revamped STF's like? Have they added any other end game aside from the upgrade?

    Im still in the UFP channel if someone wants to drop me a line if there bored lol. See ya in game! Constitution light

    Hey Shakken.

    The stability has indeed gotten better. Though content wise, there have only been a few things added (like the DS9 feature episode), Doff mission enhancements, and new ships. There are also more tribbles than one can or would want to own.

    The revamped STF's are on the typical MMO grind model. You repeatedly play through them and either get extremely lucky with a borg prototype salvage or tech drop... or you take your guarantee'd data chip (which you save up to buy a Mk XI set item). So it's either the drop or the badges (EDC, Encrypted Data Chips) to obtain the gear/items.

    Besides that grind, there are at least a plethora of new accolades to obtain for STFs. Mainly, the optional objectives, which give out bonus loot.

    The thing to really look forward to... at least I certainly am, is Season 6. Supposedly it is going to have some big updates for Fleets, namely Starbases and Shipyards. What these entail exactly... is sketchy, but the shipyards were hinted at allowing some customizing of ships. Not just paint jobs, but I am hoping it is a tool/method that allows you to convert say a non-Tier 5 ship... into a Tier 5 ship.

    For myself, I still play STFs when I can. But mostly, if I'm short on time, try to fill up my doff missions. As that doesn't take much time.
