I think this is a good start, if the STO team can give us weekly, or bi-weekly patches that squash a few bugs each time, it should address a good number of the bugs in a relatively short period of time. \u00c2\u00a0Obviously, they need the servers to be stable before they can fix the bugs.. so I&#8217;m hoping that the &#8216;server stability&#8217; portion of today&#8217;s patch is one of the last we&#8217;ll see of that for awhile.<\/p>\n<p>After this patch, the only outstanding issue I haven&#8217;t seen Cryptic at least talk about, is the stealth nerfing of STO&#8217;s mail, it now has a 100 attachment limit, where as for the last 3 years.. it&#8217;s been substantially higher (I still have email in there from 2+ years ago.. with nothing lost during that time). \u00c2\u00a0The big concern folks have with this, is if they&#8217;re sitting at say 90 attachments, and have 20 items up on the Exchange that don&#8217;t get bought, and thus returned to the player&#8230; what happens to those last 10?<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, now that folks can delete mail, it won&#8217;t be as big an issue, but it&#8217;d still be nice to see some official response, and and answer to the &#8216;where does my mail go&#8217; question.<\/p>\n<p>Patch up, and jump in game! \u00c2\u00a0STO is fun again, get in there and enjoy it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After having done near daily maintenance for server stability issues since the launch of their &#8220;Legacy of Romulus&#8221; expansion, the Cryptic team over at Star Trek Online is giving us <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/?p=1081\" class=\"more-link\">[&hellip;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"Layout":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[7],"tags":[36],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2BPLE-hr","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1081"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1081\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
