kellyplanet STT Updates 25.09.17

Yeah, it's been two months since I made an 'updates' post... that doesn't mean there haven't been any - sorry. 

Obviously I have been keeping up with things like Crew, Ships, Collections, Avatars, and Special Crew.

There are a few technical things of which you may wish to be aware:

The Portal - I have updated all the Crew Portal availability. There are currently 1616 in the game and guess what? That matches my records as well.

There are two Crew that the game has spelled incorrectly. Initially I was stubborn and simply corrected that here. The problem was, that interfered with the automatic Crew upload process. This only affected Aurellio (Aurelio) and Archaeologist Picard (Archeologist). I have the game's spelling applied where it matters, and spelled the right way elsewhere.

There WAS a small issue with uploading your FROZEN Crew, but that has been fixed as well. 

Oh yeah, I had Human Q as part of the Q Continuum (and he may have been originally). Since the advent of the Cosmic Trait, I noticed that Human Q does not have that Trait, so it has been fixed.

I'd like to mention all the 'upgrades' that have been done to the events. If you haven't noticed, they messed with all the math that has been the same for years now. As far as I can tell, the intention is to make things more competitive. I play for rewards, not bragging rights (bragging to whom I wonder), so re-learning the formulas is just a huge pain in the ass to me. It seems it's now easier than ever to max out the rewards (and pretty quickly too), so all you have to play for is ranking. The rank rewards have not been changed to reflect this, so IMO it's a huge waste to spend resources for the already paltry trinkets you are gifted. 

Some Captains may thinks this is great, and that's cool with me - but I've spent nine years managing to build an impressive account without spending a monetary fortune or playing the game for 96 hours straight every weekend. I suppose this is better than the other way around, as I would be kind of upset if I had to bust my ass just to get the 3 or 4 Super Rare Event Crew or the now pretty much useless (to me) Super Rare Behold.

As always, thank you to everyone who uses this STT resource. New Captains sign up all the time!
