Giving STO Another Try

I've been playing again recently too. Was enjoying myself until I got to a mission on New Romulus and it wouldn't let me progress because I don't have Tier 2 Reputation. Like wth? I can't even figure out how to get that on console.

I can’t speak to PS5 but, on Xbox, the “Reputation” page is located under “Endgame” in the main menu. New Romulus is the fourth from the top. Tier V gets you the really cool-looking Reman Advanced Prototype Covariant Shield device, which is more interesting to look at than most of the do-nothing Vanity Shields.
 
8 years later, on console, I'm still finding out new things. It's one hell of a process

For instance, just yesterday I discovered you can fly to the KDF shipyard in orbit of Qo'Nos instead of beaming to the planet and beaming to it.

They could really do with making that thing bigger.

When I go to the Reputation page all I see is like a bunch of events that I can't even click on.

I've been trying to figure out what's been going on. Are you stuck on Tier 2 Romulan rep? You should be about to join a TFO and get some Romulan marks to up your tier.

BTW, what level are you currently?

I'm level 35. And I know nothing about Reputation or how to raise it. I didn't even know it was a thing until it wouldn't let me advance and told me I needed Tier 2 in order to do so.
 
That's weird - it's been a long time since I did those missions. It is possible you need to level up a little more or do some prerequisite missions to get there. I honestly can't remember.
 
Sometimes I find it's easier to just try something else in the game and go back to these things. Trial and error is the way to go.
 
You have to get your toon to level 50 before the reputation tab becomes avalible to you.......so if you are level 35 then you have not opened the reputation system yet, but there is enoug game content to get you to level 50 with ease....BUT, and here is where people get stuck in STO, as you level up your toon, so does the game difficulty and its rewards, so missions you did when you were level 20, will give you level 35 rewards if you replay them again, and so on, and you will at some point need to replay those missions to get the higher ship and ground gear rewards to allow you to take on the higher level ongoing missions, else you will find you will get stuck at what seems impossible missions were everything is too strong for your ship and ground setup..........so you do that until level 50 then you get access to the rep system which has some great high end gear rewards........and that is you just starting to get into the game. Lol

I mean't to add anyone having issues or is stuck within the game let me know and i will help you get by them and also point you in the right direction to getting a nice setup for space and ground to cover you for normal and advanced levels of the game....i charge 1 haggis per session. ha
 
I could never get over those gigantic bridges, and the immersion breaking mechanics for warp, and how grindy it was, as well as the lack of "science" except for scan 3 things, etc.

I did enjoy doing Monster Maroons on my crew from Del Taco or whatever promo that was, though I used TOS colors for the undershirts and made a dress version... can't remember if I did Navy Blue or White tunics.

Thinking the blue though almost like USMC dress blues.

Just walk across them. ;)

Nah, I get what you mean. Even when I tried to set them to small, they're still dramatically oversized. The only ones that seem to work are ones from the C-store and unique bridges they've released for lockbox ships.

I cannot understand why a TMP-era bridge was never made. It could be used in so many starships.
 
I love my Emissary bridge for my Jupiter carrier in terms of shape and the big consoles behind the captain's chair. It does need a slight shrinking down, bring the ceiling down and the viewscreen closer, but I guess the game's camera has to fit in there somewhere.
 
15th bundle owners, where the heck are the 2285 type II phaser pistols? I've looked everywhere for them
 
I was playing Elite Dangerous and I wish we had a Star Trek game where I could warp and impulse about in a procedurally generated one to one scale galaxy with Star Trek technology (warp drive, etc) that was wrapped around a Bridge Commander style game that was both Single Player, local play as well as as MMO using the Roddenberry Archive/OTOY/Donny Versiga bridge recreations that were customizable built on the Unreal Engine with a full ship experience (ala Stage 9, etc) for most/every ship in the franchise.

Throw in lots of science, studying planetary and stellar weather and anomalies, nebulae, etc and not exclusively or even primarily about combat (though there should certain be the option)...
