Nice post, Marcase c:

Also, 7GB tribble patch has landed. Lighting effects with nice amount of fixes.

Mine Trap event

Looks like we will have to collect Salt Vampire Dna to get the Salt Vampire Cerebral Contrivance Kit Module. Holoemitter may be added to the latinum store or additional reward.

Sphere Builder ships t5/t6

Probably as a part of Sphere Builder lock box, apparently after the Dominion-Cardassian lock box.

Looks like NPC Arehbes Frigate.

When you click on your forum name, you get to your personal screen. That could be arranged to have specific fields like Character name, Ship name, Character biography, etc. If not with current setup, then Buddypress plugin or something similar could add it. Palcioz will need to check that.
But maybe we could add place like blog area where free editing would be possible, wiki type page for registered members? (something like 26th Fleet wiki) Or maybe there is better solution, I’m ok with this.

Looks like this would be doable if you want it, but we’d need to commit to be manually update it regularly. Nothing says “dead fleet” like an out-of-date calendar.

I’m ok with manually updating it, I just want to know if others agree something like this would be useful/good to have.

Here is all I can think of:
When someone new joins, if admin comment space is empty, you can write a join and promotion date (2 weeks until Lieutenant) so monitoring of promotion dates is easier.

You can also join Defcon’s website: http://electricuniverse.space/, which has a great roster feature so you can search for member’s @handle or name and list all alts they have to see which are their ranks, etc. Useful when promoting someone to see what rank should they have or when kicking someone out because you can see when were they online last time. If you need updated member info, there is “export” button under the “Roster” of the Fleet Holding (in-game), which can be imported into this site.

Members will ask for invite from Delta to main fleet to buy something from fleet stores, you can promote them to give them access when they join.

Oh, and you can share your ideas in this part of the forums, if you can think of something for the new website Palcioz is working on for example.

Marcase, do we always open projects when we see empty spot? I noticed bunch of empty spots but didn’t know if that was intentional because of the large holding upgrade being on.

Welcome Horrid! c:

[Damix]

Great, that was my only concern 🙂

WordPress: I tried deleting all images (Media Library) made in December 2015 because those won’t be used in any of the pages. After clicking “bulk select” and choosing any number of images, deleting selected shows message where I have to confirm permanent deletion, but nothing happens after I click Yes. Does this work on your side?

Initial idea was to have ship database, but that could have been executed in a better way. For example: http://thephoenixdivision.com/ships.html is much better for ship comparison, so I’ll just add that under the “useful links”.

How about having a small area somewhere on the sidebar where current and future in-game events would be posted. For example, 22nd – 26th September: XP Weekend, etc, which would be manually updated when in-game calender gets updated. What do others think about having this on tribble site?

[Damix]

I agree about Horrid, he deserves Commodore rank c:

If Resto continues being helpful, promo could be nice way to encourage him and show what he is doing is recognized.

I’m trying to forget the whole epicninja thing. Yeah, he was part of our fleet and later armada. Not sure how would he bring us down, just a talk I guess.

[Damix]

Website requires more than 4 screenshots so if contest won’t take all spots, I’ll add those 3 to the pool of images we can choose from if it will be needed. c:

About access to wordpress, I can log in, but I get blank screen when I try to view already made page like “Armada Headquarters” (or any other), same when I try to add new page.

[Damix]

Palcioz, website looks great, and I like how it follows the theme of our emblem with yellow and blue details.
Will “Latest Forum Activity” hide posts from private and officer forums sections if you are not logged in?

I made few high quality shots that could be used for the website but forgotten game saves image formats as .jpg, instead of .png – would that be a problem when they are used on website? I know where I took them so I can give it another try and save them as .png. Not sure if I qualify for the contest, if I do, I’ll post them there:

Haven’t tried updating the website, I’ll give it a try later today or tomorrow. Some links are broken and some formatting may be needed.

Marcase, if you will be making another screenshot contest, add this link, made by Thomas Marone. It gives some useful info on how to take screenshot, like commands to increase in-game resolution before image was taken.

Since both leaks sites are down, I did some digging myself. Game files are full of interesting images, downloaded with 25-08-2016 patch. Below you can see content I managed to find:

Mine Trap event

This is something I was hoping we will get. It was always fun mission to play but since it required 20 players to start, it died. They did the same thing with the Breach, removed it from game and later returned it as 3-week event.

File name: Calendar_Span_Event_Mine_Trap_Upper

No idea how will these be introduced to game – lockbox, event, lobi store, etc?
Before old leaks sites were closed, everything was pointing toward Sphere Builder lockbox. I’m not able to find those images so post it here if you learn anything.

Equipment

TOS Strategic Secondary Deflector. I think this one is not available in game so correct me if I’m wrong. Strategic variants are ONLY available via Fleet Research Lab. There are no images for inhibiting or resonating secondary deflector.

File name: Space_Item_Deflector_Secondary_Strategic_Deteriorating_Tos

TOS Phasers:
These may visually seem similar to Andorian phasers, but they do look differently. Phaser beam arrays are not included as they are already present in game.

File name:
Phaser_360_Beam_Array_Tos
Phaser_Dual_Beam_Bank_Tos_R0
Phaser_Turret_Tos
Phaser_Cannon_Tos
Phaser_Dual_Cannons_Tos
Phaser_Dual_Heavy_Cannons_Tos_R0

TOS Disruptors:
They have two type of images, don’t know if both will be used or only one set. Note that beam array and omni has only one image.

File name:
Same as Phasers, insert Disruptors instead.

TOS Plasma:
Also comes in two types of images, except omni and array, with no description in file name to tell where will each be used, if it ever will.

+
File name: Plasma_Torpedo_Tos_0

My theory is that all TOS gear will be added to R&D system so we can craft them. Not sure why else they would add these.. Possible option is we will soon get Temporal Fleet holding where these weapons would be obtainable, but there are images with mk I or mk II and it is not likely new holding would sell anything other than mk XII.

I’ll add new stuff here whenever something new comes with tribble or holodeck patch.

Thanks for reading this, I’d like to hear you opinion and speculations.

KDF fleet received some attention, there were more than few members offline for more than 1 year. Those that had active Fed characters weren’t touched. They will receive invite and their old rank back when they return to STO.

This is only free theme I managed to find, not sure where else to look.

Related to theme currently on tribble, can white background seen on homepage or when forum is listed, be changed to dark grey/black? I think it would look better that way, and eyes hurt less when writing or reading from it.

[Damix]

So what do you think about ship stats? 3x LT.Commander seats – interesting, although not for Romulan captains who will have one less Superior Rom Operative boff trait. I hoped for Intel seat for Connie, but 5 fore weapons is a nice addition, although I’d probably broadside so there isn’t big difference compared to 4/4. +Damage console for Engineering seat, could be nice addition.

[Damix]

Thanks, it works after switching to TinyMCE. This happened once already but they released fix few days later which resolved the problem.

[Damix]

Just to have it written down in case he tries to join us or any armada fleets. His accounts are:

Some of those images I resized to fit the screen, they lost quality this way so check the original image by Sovereign001.
There are more found in this topic, but they may be of low quality.

I’ll be checking themes today and try to think of what else can be added to the website. If theme is find, we stay with this one 🙂

Palcioz, I updated JCE Administration via Joomla for this website, as I do every time new update is available (usually one in two months). After the 2.5.24 update, I can’t open any article in the article manager. Can anyone try to open any article? If no, is there any way to revert to previous version?
