A reminder that all Generative AI content is banned on this subreddit.

We've gotten a bit lenient lately with some questionable posts and links to vibecoded sites and AI assisted posts. That leniency is ending and we are going back to strictly following our rule of a total ban on all Generative AI content.

This includes content from things like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and any other similar GenAI chatbots, assistants or other apps.

Any links to AI generated (vibecoded) sites and any posts that admit to using GenAI will be removed. As before we are not going to be testing every single post or anything like that but if you admit to it or there is evidence proving you used GenAI the post will be removed.

Any plans to update the Something skins for Pixel 11 family?

I have a case with a similar effect for my P8 but looks like they don't make it anymore for new ones so was thinking of going with one of these skins but I noticed it's only available for the latest Apple/Samsung devices but not Pixel. So any chance the Pixel 11 family is going to get these skins as an option?

With the omni change you still can't equip 2 of the same omni so if you want to use 2 of the same lockbox omni for barbie reasons, you can't.

Several people have already confirmed this here and the discord.

So you can use SET+SET omni, you can use SET+NON-SET, AND NON-SET+NON-SET but all must still be 2 different weapons.

Might be able to get around this on weapons that have multiple versions with the same visuals like the linked ones but other types are screwed and you'll just have to still get close enough which this might at least open up some new options there.

K'Vort Temporal Flight Deck Raptor & Sao Paulo remaster confirmed for those who missed the blog today.

In case you missed it here are some pictures:

K'Vort Temporal Flight Deck Raptor
Pictures:
https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/1u8gwf6/kvort_configurations/ https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/1ucq8n5/the_brel_head_is_real/

  • Hunting Pack Escorts universal console
  • Imperial Pressure starship trait
  • Rapid Fire Disruptor Heavy Emitter experimental weapon
  • New KDF hanger pet

A Flight Deck Raptor (https://stowiki.net/wiki/Flight_Deck_Raptor) is the Klingon name equivalent to Strike Wing Escort and not a Flight Deck Carrier. Therefor it will most likely have a 5/2/1 weapon setup with a single hanger bay.

Hunting Pack Escorts console - thanks to the announcement blog we know that this console gives "the ability to summon two B’rel class Birds of Prey to join you in glorious battle!" but that's all we have for now. Could be passive, could be clicky like the one with the NP escort.

Standard Lower Decks appearance with wings/head kitbash options

  • Double Wings from Lower Decks
  • Raptor style head from Lower Decks
  • Raised Single Wings from The Next Generation
  • B'Rel style head from The Next Generation
  • Does not kitbash with any existing BoP or raptor.

Reward from the upcoming Undiscovered event starting on July 7th. As a ship reward this will require 20 days of progress.

Progress for the event earned by completing the episode, playing a TFO, or playing the new updated Deep Space Encounters. How many DSE's for daily is unknown at this time.

Sao Paulo Remaster

No in game shots yet but here is the original fan made remaster that we're getting: https://bsky.app/profile/andydpurromann.bsky.social/post/3lr2te3nzlc2c

Confirmed by Pundus on discord this is the second remaster STO has gotten made by AndyPurro the previous being the Negh'Tev last year: https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/1nojwf2/neghtev_has_been_remastered/

As with all remasters this will be fully free and available on every member of the Defiant family as well as the family getting access to the Odyssey and Type 0a Hull Material as well as the Type 0, Type 6, Galaxy and Odyssey window options.

Using DMDE to recover corrupted exFAT flash drive but it hasn't found the one file I was really hoping for yet. Hoping for any other ideas.

So DMDE has been pretty incredible so far but unfortunately it hasn't found the main files I was truly hoping to recover. When the drive started to go bad I copied everything off through standard windows but most of the folders were empty such as some recent photos I had backed up and my firefox portable instal.

I originally ran disk drill scan and didn't see the photos or firefox portable files there so then moved onto DMDE which was another recommended one. It's actually recovered a lot more than disk drill saw but still not the photos or firefox portable. Losing the photos sucks but I have some of the best ones on my desktop so oh well about the rest.

The firefox portable install being gone has really screwed me. I've been away for a couple months and was using that as a primary browser and stupidly didn't make an account for it to backup things to the cloud. I desperately want to get those bookmarks back and I know the file location it would be drive\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\places.sqlite but in all the restores DMDE has done it's found other sqlite files but not that one.

So I'm looking for any sort of advice or ideas to target that one specific file for recovery if it's possible. Honestly I'll pay for data recovery if I have to but since DMDE got almost everything else if I can get this one file I'll be happy and whatever else is lost is lost.

US Navy Blue Angels practicing before the Vero Beach Air Show

I know these are nothing near the most impressive photos here but I was proud of my decade old sony cybershot I recently pulled out of drawer to get these pictures thanks to the 10x optical zoom it has. This air show happens every 2 years and the Blue Angels are the main event and living close enough and getting to see them 4 days in a row 2 practice, 2 show has been an incredible treat to have them fly right over my house and neighborhood.

That first one with the starburst out of the cloud. Man I wish I did have a better camera for it but that might be one of my favorite pictures I've taken.

Visions of Eternity: The Only Way Update Day! | Bug Thread | Spoiler Rule Reminder

Sorry for the delay! Won't happen again!


#SPOILER CONTENT RULES APPLY FOR 28 DAYS FROM RELEASE.
#Tuesday February 3rd to Tuesday June 9, 2026

Anything not shown in an official trailer, screenshot, or blog, is considered a spoiler.

New spoiler rule is a temporary ban for posting spoilers titles.
Temp ban will be 24 hours for posting any spoiler in the title. A second infraction will result in 28 day ban.

Spoiler tagged threads are free to have spoilers about the thread topic. If you make a mistake simply edit your post or use spoiler tags. Spoiler comments in non-spoiler threads or in a spoiler thread about something else that are not tagged will also result in the temp 24 hour ban and 28 day ban for second infractions.

If you're unsure if something is a spoiler or not then just go ahead and tag it as. Better to be safe for everyone.

If you're on new reddit there is a spoiler tag option right in the editor, mobile apps have the option as well I believe but if you're on old reddit or want to type it manually then you can type:

>!Spoiler Goes Here!<

>!Spoiler Goes Here!<

It's very simple to tag your spoilers so please do it and if you do see a spoiler that was not tagged please report it ASAP so it can be dealt with by automod or mod team.

The last expansions and updates have gone amazingly smooth spoiler wise and I thank you all for that. Let's keep up the good work hiding spoilers!


Expansion bugs should be posted here but if there is anything game breaking or major feel free to make a dedicated post of it so the community and ANet might see it easier and of course make sure to report it to ANet using the built in bug reporting tools and/or the official forums.

Sorry for getting everyone so excited. With it being fully up and everything working including character transfers I and others just assumed it was back for good but I guess that's not the case just yet.

Still overall good news though since this is the first time tribble has been updated and fully working in almost a year and a half and Kael himself says that today was good news for a full tribble return.

Confirmed myself just a few minutes ago.

Tribble is fully updated at least to last week as it has the obena patch and character transfer is fully working! Flying my Noble on it right now!

Damocles leaked as Miracle Worker spec, no class details.

Kelvin Timeline bundle will include:

  • Salcombe Intel Escort
  • Armstrong Miracle Worker ...
  • Newton Command Science ...

So obviously the Armstrong is the cruiser no real surprise there. Sadly the types got cut off but super exciting to have these confirmed even if by accident. Been a long long time waiting for these.

And a reminder that it has been confirmed we are getting TNG/Post-TNG era skins to go along with all of these ships. Spock's Volcano Suit will be one of the bundle exclusives as well confirmed on a recent stream.

If you don't know what these ships are I have a speculation post up here with pictures of them: Kelvin Timeline CStore Bundle Ships Speculation
