Does the DLC include IBM Watson powered voice recognition?
Support of the IBM powered voice recognition feature for Star Trek: Bridge Crew has been extended through the end of 2018.

Will the Enterprise-D bridge use the LCARS interface?
All of the bridge positions on the Enterprise-D have been implemented with the iconic LCARS interface from the TNG series (including appropriate audio).

How authentic is the implementation of the Enterprise-D?
Does it include appropriate colors and audio for phaser and torpedo fire? The development team at Red Storm has painstakingly recreated the 1701-D with the assistance of CBS to make it as authentic as possible. This has included recreating the bridge from blueprints and digital assets, use of authentic audio and of course the adaptation of the appropriate effects. All of this has been verified and approved by CBS and they have been a tremendous partner in bringing to life this experience.

Hier das zweite Q&A zum DLC.

Bridge Crew Dev FAQ #2 - The Next Generation DLC
We've seen the questions that arose since our last Dev FAQ post and wanted to take a moment to first convey our gratitude for your feedback - after so long working in secrecy, the team is overjoyed to be able to talk about their work!
Klicke in dieses Feld, um es in vollständiger Größe anzuzeigen.

Why did I have to download a large patch even if I haven’t purchased the DLC?
The patch brings everyone up to the newest version of the game client that includes the ability to add the DLC as well as a adding a bunch of bug fixes. It’s important to get everyone on the same version to support match making across the platforms
Klicke in dieses Feld, um es in vollständiger Größe anzuzeigen.

What if I want to play with a player who doesn’t have the DLC, but I do? What if someone joins a DLC game without actually owning the DLC?
A toggle in the UI enables players who own the DLC to select whether they want to enter matchmaking with the DLC active (which will search for other players with DLC set active) or if they would prefer to play with any players (including players who do not own the DLC). This toggle will automatically be set to off if the player does not own the DLC.

How can players help the Developers find and address bugs?
We try to catch posts people make on forums, subreddits, etc but we can’t watch everywhere and some will fall through the cracks this way. The best way to bring them to our attention is to file a support ticket via https://support.ubi.com and provide as much detail as you can. Adding any links to videos you may have taken of the issue help greatly as they provide a lot more information and context to help our QA staff recreate the problem to investigate it.

Note: duplicate submissions don’t help and if anything get in the way, but if you don’t know if something has been submitted already or not by all means put in a ticket. When a ticket comes in for a bug it goes to QA staff who will check if we already have something on it, will record it (JIRA) with all the details. They will work to recreate the issue and will add information on that to the entry so the developers have concrete steps to recreate the issue and know any and all factors going into it. Then the development team gets it and tries to determine if something is wrong and what can be done about it.

Some notes on a few select things that have already been posted:

“…while playing, we entered one system where none of the Klingon ships were firing at us. It was during one of the save the Suribatchi missions. It seemed almost like an anomaly ithe system had totally disabled their ships, but this seemed like a bug”
Yes indeed, anomalies affecting enemies is intended and can have interesting consequences…

“…two exclamation points appear at the same time on the Warp map (Possibly from helm)”
This can happen during Research and Rescue missions.
- During A Research mission, after scanning enough anomalies to turn in, an exclamation point will appear at the new warp location. If the player has triggered and yet to complete the optional objective (rescuing civilians), an exclamation point will remain in the current system.
- During A Rescue mission (especially the space station version) after transporting at least 1 person aboard the ship, an exclamation point will appear at the new warp location. If the player has not yet transported all remaining survivors, an exclamation point will remain in the current system.

“…T'Nar on the Aegis and Enterprise (TOS) is still playing with power levels previously set by a player when no player engineer is in game.”
T'Nar will not change power nodes on her own. However, all crew-wide orders, and select orders to other bots, will make T'Nar reallocate power. i.e. Avoid / Evade Target for instance will cause engineer to set 5 engine, 3 shield, 2 phaser.

We are looking to put together a dev blog or post in the near future with more information on voice commands and how they work which will help to better explain interactions like this

“…You've added 'Stand Down' on the Enterprise Captain's holographic on-screen command list, but it doesn't turn off Red Alert. We haven't found that it does anything at all!?”

The stand down command is identical to the “Reduce Detection range” command found on the Aegis. To that affect this is what happens:
- Reset any impulse/warp command to off
- Power settings phaser 3, engines 4 (notably this is to ensure we don’t fly at above 4000 speed), shields 3
- Stop shooting
- Lower shields
- Disarm torpedoes

The Red Alert button remains a manual interaction for the Captain to torment/alert her crew with.

Also Lust auf den Titel/DLC macht der Trailer ja schon.

Herrle · 23. Mai 2018

Laüft das jetzt im Crossplay zwischen PC-VR und PS4-nicht VR? Oder im Crossplay zwischen PC-VR und PS4-VR?

SolKutTeR · 23. Mai 2018

Wie ich es verstanden habe, sowohl als auch.

Crossplay auf ganzer Ebene:
VR (PSVR↔Steam↔OculusHome) ↔ nonVR (PS4↔Steam)

Fixed an issue where an Ongoing Voyages Patrol could not complete the “turning in findings” objective

Corrected research missions so you cannot complete them by impulsing away from the space station when enemies appear

Removed a second, erroneous “transport from target” option under tactical crewbot orders on the TOS bridge

Fixed an issue where Avatar android male head type 1 appears to have an extra long forehead (cue the Mike Meyers “HUGE HEAD” comments)

Corrected an issue where the female Vulcan head would appear under male Vulcan race type

Fixed an issue with objective markers disappearing on the lower ¼ area of the local map

Stopped the helm crewbot on the USS Aegis from spinning in place at the beginning of mission 5. He was getting dizzy

Removed a purple light that would appear to the right of tactical on the TOS bridge when warping

Fixed an issue where the warning indicator for damaged engines on the TOS bridge would not apply to all impulse screens

Fixed an issue on the TOS bridge where different players manning the engineering station see different repair crew allocations

Fixed an issue on the TNG bridge where an enemy’s cloak audio can disappear while cloaked and the visual effect can persist after decloaking.

Corrected an issue where escape pods destroyed by a planet killer would not clear from the transporter bay.

You will now correctly see the Borg Cube’s green lights fade out and in when it powers off and on for repairing

Gave T’nar some training so that crewbot would properly reassign repair crews from systems at 100% after a player has assigned repair crews

You will no longer see “He’s dead Jim” appear for dead crews at the Ops station. Scotty is back on the right ship

Fixed an issue where arming torpedoes while being damaged to 59% could cause the remaining torpedo to repeat the loading sequence

spiet das noch jemand? Ich hatte es mal vor 3 Wochen probiert, nachdem ich 20 Minuten auf Mitspieler gewartet habe bin ich eingeschlafen. Leider geht's mir auch mit den Siedler von Catan so.
Da überwindet man mal sein "Soziales Amöben Stadium" und dann kommt kein Spiel zustande.

Da geh ich doch lieber raus in den Sandkasten spielen.

Sashmigo · 28. Juni 2018

Selbst bei cross-over Plattform?Krass, ich dachte dort findet man immer jemanden auch ohne VR, ich hätte da einen viel größeren Spieler-Spektrum erwartet.

Hammerschaedel · 28. Juni 2018

... was möglicherweise daran liegt, das wenn der Fanboy Bonus weg ist, das Spiel ein wenig lahm ist...

Sashmigo · 28. Juni 2018

Stimmt, irgendwie wurde es nach ein paarmal spielen etwas monoton von den Aufgaben.Aber absolute Trekkis lassen sich von so
einem Rollenspiel nicht abhalten, besonders kurz nach dem Addon.Obwohl man wird ja nicht verbunden, wenn man das Addon nicht hat.
Vielleicht hätte Ubi-soft neue Missionen mit mehr tiefe einbauen sollen in dem Addon.
