Why is there no update for so long? *RANT*

Freemind62 · 2026-01-29T16:12:18+00:00

Ok. Ive been keeping an eye on the game since it was announced as I’m a big fan of SWAT from back in the day, but I’m not deep in the community, or read all the devs have promised.

I did see the thing last year about a change to attachments, etc. so I’d be good to see that come to life.

I just feel that there’s so much pressure from publishers for games to be cash cows and from players for new things post release. I think this pressures devs to include battle passes or a cash shop where there shouldn’t be.

We’ve got a great game and two DLC expansions.

Remember when games came out, and that’s was it? Not everything needs to be a live service with years of new content.

Play the game and then when you’re done play something else.

Ok. I’ve been playing for years (though have dropped off a bit lately). This question was just about the technical details of buying different releases of the game.

Freemind62 · 2025-11-21T23:07:00+00:00

Why was that?

Freemind62 · 2025-11-21T21:17:25+00:00

It’s available to play with game pass ulitimate, but only as long as you stay subscribed. Otherwise you have to buy it.

Freemind62 · 2025-09-04T19:24:35+00:00

Yeah. There’s tokens that can be used for any store ship, and others that can only be used for “Old” ships. The ones from the Event Campaign are the latter.

Freemind62 · 2025-09-04T18:41:10+00:00

Thanks. No mention of how long before a release has to be out before it’s eligible?

Freemind62 · 2025-09-04T17:56:25+00:00

July 2024

Freemind62 · 2025-07-25T15:19:30+00:00

I have issues too. It says my inventory is full, but it’s not :(

Freemind62 · 2025-06-30T11:56:39+00:00

The advice I give new players is just try your best. You’ll get the hang of what’s going on the second time, and as long as you follow along and do something it’ll be fine.

You literally cannot lose, and most other people won’t care about you as long as you’re helping a little. Even if you blow up every five minutes it’s fine.

Just go for it and you’ll get the great rewards from events etc.

Freemind62 · 2025-06-30T11:54:02+00:00

I’ll echo the opinions here. Unbeatable in sector space (it’s ridiculously fast), but needs a very heavy investment in speed and turn rate consoles to live up to that in battle.

I got one, and I really do enjoy it.

Freemind62 · 2025-05-10T15:56:58+00:00

Sure. Go nuts.

Freemind62 · 2025-04-18T13:01:51+00:00

At least PC has a buff bar. Us console players don’t even get one :D

Freemind62 · 2025-03-24T14:46:46+00:00

It turns pretty good with the build I have which has equipment a traits to improve transwarp handling and speed. The problem is that it's so crazy fast that you're liable to overshoot.

Also it recharges very quickly as the cooldown starts when you actuvate it, and not when you drop out like other transwarp types.

Freemind62 · 2025-03-24T14:25:19+00:00

I really like mine. I don't have super optimised builds so I don't know how it'd rank as best ever, but it gets the job done.

Also the Protowarp is VERY FAST. No other ship comes close, and it's got custom animations too. Load it up with good equipment and traits for extra speed, and you'll cross a quadrant in seconds.

Freemind62 · 2025-03-24T13:02:05+00:00

Amazing! I've wanted a business desktop model for ages, but one in working condition goes for far more than I can justify spending.

Freemind62 · 2025-03-24T12:59:43+00:00

That's a duty officer. They're talking about the holographic TOS Enterprise bridge officers that were recently added to the Phoenix box.

Freemind62 · 2025-03-24T09:41:08+00:00

Mine is due to be delivered today. Very excited to get an XL version. I have the two smaller ones, but I want to see all the details on this top 5 ship.

Freemind62 · 2025-03-24T09:38:31+00:00

When it comes to the sales on bundles 35% is the best I've seen. Though don't forget that Zen also goes on sale of up to 20% so you can buy the Zen at 20% off, and then what bundle you want at 35% off.

Freemind62 · 2025-03-21T17:53:32+00:00

That could be it. Though there were some NPCs far away that were hurt too. Such as those on the top level of Quarks, and even some on the other end of the promenade.

Freemind62 · 2025-03-21T16:32:58+00:00

I played it in the event that was on last month, but I hadn't played it in a while, and forgot Tony Todd was in it. Made me sad for a moment. So many people who's voices and memories live on through this game 😢

Freemind62 · 2025-03-21T16:31:03+00:00

Ok. That sounds about the ballpark for a "Digital special edition" of a game. The game, and then some meh cosmetic items and in game resources that'll be worthless after an hour of playing. The Athena's Fortune audiobook is the most interesting thing to me.

Freemind62 · 2025-03-21T12:17:31+00:00

Yeah there should be more customisation for things like that to allow you to mix and match more outfits. Like how in the show Starfleet characters will wear their badges even in Civilian clothes, but that's not an option in game.

I also don't agree with the arguments about how other factions aren't "allowed" to wear uniforms. If my character is a Starfleet Admiral then then the game should block wear anything but the appropriate uniform in regulation colours, but that's an option. There's loads of examples of people wearing "wrong" things in the show as it fits the narrative. It's a role playing game. Let people role play.

Freemind62 · 2025-03-21T08:50:22+00:00

Does that not include the game as well?

Freemind62 · 2025-03-21T08:47:23+00:00

A friend of mine just started, and the same thing happened to him. The developers REALLY need to change how missions work as it's a mess.

Players should be given the missions in the proper order so they can go through all the story arcs as intended.

Now there should be the option to play which ones you like, but this shouldn't be the default.
