I no longer have a little badge icon for ranking 1st in gauntlet!!

I'm so used to it, that I ignored the afternoon chron boost notification. Didn't realize it was fixed until it was too late.

And it only took them 6 months. Yeaaaah ....

I just wanted to pop in and thank DB for the SPEED improvements in this release. My startup time is about HALF what it was. Thank you DB!

Morbo4

I'm almost afraid to say it, but, yes, start-up does seem faster.

GhostStalker

I got so used to tapping the app icon and having to remember to keep tapping my screen, because my phone would literally LOCK from inactivity before the app finished loading! You believe that? Now it loads fast enough that it says Play before I even look down to check on the progress. Thank you so much to whatever programmer worked on that!

Also thank you to OP for editing the title of the thread to include all topics!

OK credit where credit is due. I brought up that dot thing at Erin's last Halloween Q&A and got no response, but man it is a pleasant surprise and wonderful to know that things like this are indeed in the pipeline. THANK YOU DB!

Also, my word the game has become faster. Well done again!!

[10F] Belle'Anna

Speed is impressive now. That's the first thing I noticed. Much improved, excellent work DB!

Also, I had the best Gauntlet round ever this morning and I've yet to go back in but I really hope for more of that. It used to drive me insane. It's not mentioned in the release notes so I don't know if it was a fluke.

Just like a big Well Done and Thank You for all the fixes DB. There'll be more to add to this I'm sure as time goes by.

GhostStalker

So I'm not sure if this is deliberate, but that "11" has disappeared from the galaxy icon. Which I LOVE. Because it was useless and nagged me and I HATE odd numbers. But that being said, it comes back if you have a voyage dilemma and address it, then return to the home screen. So DB can we just get rid of that "11" forever? Thank you!

Commander Sinclair

One major fix for me was the sound effects. They work again! I had no sound effects since the upgrade to v2.0 on my iPad. The only voices were Q in the Gauntlet, and an occasional "Kirk here", usually during a dilemma in a voyage. (Which was also strange since I have NEVER used any iteration of Kirk in a voyage.)

Plus all the new fixes and goodies.

Soooo... YAY DB, Thank you!

Bottom line:

Does the server upgrade just take longer to reach those of us way out here in the Delta Quadrant?

Yes, apparently. :-) All good now!

izausome

Start up time is usually under 30 secs now, sometimes as quick as 20!
Very nice improvement!

[FF] Vice Admiral Nairne

Tremendous improvements to gameplay in this last push, and I'll echo the thanks for removing that nagging Gauntlet achievement sticker. Nicely done!

I haven't noticed the speed during start-up (though it really is faster), but the game itself appears to be faster as well: Waiting for recipes, opening Crew overview etc etc.
.. and yes, it's great that I got rid of that Gauntlet "1".

Very nice!

Glad they fixed the gauntlet achievement bug though I have got so used to ignoring it I didn't notice until i read this post.

Like that the map icon shows when a Dilema requires attention,

Like the shuttle/voyage Identifiers on the crew screen

Like the tweeks and fixes and not an over ambitious release with tons of bugs

Hats of to you @DB

Yes, a senior moment. Though a Dabo achievement would be pretty cool

The best part was not even announced. The app no longer takes over the sound on my phone when I am listening to music or a podcast. I can just continue to listen without restarting them.

This was so good, I had to awesome it and quote it. I need a gif of the Snoppy happy dance just for this.

double-awesome!

Thanks for the many improvements, most especially the starbase rewards claiming after the deadline :-)

Some new visual bugs did pop up though. Here is one that will affect packs

https://forum.disruptorbeam.com/stt/discussion/2204/portal-pulls-causing-lockups-since-3-1#latest

Another one is my fleet has had issues when a Dabo buy does not give the reward. So 2 spins and only one item shows claimed. It may be the case that the item is in their inventory though.

Another one I have seen is while a faster start up, if left logged in for a while the game itself slows down but returns to normal after a restart.

The gauntlet bug was a huge fix personally. I also love being able to have a background radio app continue while playing timelines now.

Clone

This update seems to have turned back up the horrible "engine droning" noise -- a problem that was fixed for months, but now I feel like I have to play the game on mute again.

+1 for getting rid of the 1 Bug
+1 for the new purchase confirmation in the portal
-1 for the engine noise
-1 for the overlays on crew members' faces
-1 for having to look at the Fanfic Picard during startup

2 steps forward, 3 steps back.

Knight Ranger

IDW Comics are an official licencee of Trek, like DC Comics 20-30 years ago. DC Comics' TOS/TNG storylines were never classified as fanfic, so IDW's aren't either. Repetition of a statement doesn't make it fact/reality.

As a separate issue, snobs using the word "Fanfic" as a pejorative aren't impressing anyone. I've seen some better written fanfic of a show than actual episodes.

[DB:Do Better] More Tranya!

Glad to have the startup time reduced so I can get back in quicker after the ads shut down the app via force close or fade-to-black. Was really hoping those planned ad fixes would show up in this version.

GhostStalker

So hey, I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I want to bring attention to my suggestion over in Engineering:
https://forum.disruptorbeam.com/stt/discussion/2185/crew-status-indicator-on-crew-screen

Wouldn't this be preferable to the "icon + text + shading" of the new version?


I made the mockup on a whim, so don't judge! But DB you can take it. It's yours!

Knight Ranger

That's where I thought they'd be going, @GhostStalker. Would have been relatively unobtrusive in the grid, yet still informative.

Ikrit

I really love the speed update. I have noticed a bit of lag when you open the gauntlet up, but other than that, it's awesome. And I love not having that stupid notification for ranking 1st in the gauntlet.

(CSF) Jesus Is Lord [••••]

I do have to say...speed updates are pretty awesome!
