in Tribble - Announcements and Release Notes
Tribble will be updated to: ST.87.20180412b.4

For a limited time, only players with Gold Memberships or Lifetime Memberships will be able to access Tribble to view Victory is Life content.

New Features:

Playable Cardassians:
  • Cardassians are now a playable species for both Starfleet and Klingon factions.
  • After becoming a shadow of their former selves after the Dominion War, many Cardassians have decided to align with Starfleet and the Klingon Empire in the hopes it will better protect their world from the re-emergence of the Dominion and the threat of the True Way terrorists.
  • This is still a work in progress.
  • For Tribble only, Cardassians will be free to create and play.
  • For more details, please visit the Cardassian blog at: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10878824-play-as-a-cardassian!

Level Cap Increase to 65:
  • The level cap has been increased for all players to level 65.
  • When this update goes live, all players will be set to the beginning of level 60 progression in the Skillpoints bar.
    • Every character which is level 60 will receive 1 Specialization point to make up for any progress that may have been made beyond level 60.
  • Also included are new rewards per level upgrade.
  • This is still a work in progress.
  • For more details, please visit the Level Cap Increase Blog at: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10878744-star-trek-online's-level-cap-increases-to-65

Deep Space Nine Social Zone Update:
General:
  • Standard episodes in the Episode Journal no longer have a cooldown of 30 minutes to replay.
    • The cooldown is now 10 seconds.
  • Amarie Freighter Bridge: Contacts for the Duty Officer Console and small craft selector are no longer exclusive.
  • Added VO that was missing from the Federation tutorial.
  • Felanoid pets now remain seated when idling for a long time.
  • Targ Handlers have trained their Targs how to walk and sleep obediently again.

Systems:
  • Resolved an issue where activating Tactical Mode in Dyson Science Destroyers increased inertia by only 10, instead of 20 as intended.
  • Resolved an issue that caused the Inertia modifier on Impulse Engines to increase inertia by 10%, instead of 10.
  • Resolved an issue that caused Quad Cannons to be unaffected by the damage increase from Preferential Targeting.
  • Resolved an issue that could prevent the outgoing damage debuff on Subnucleonic Beam from being cleansed.
  • Resolved an issue that caused Latinum to be spelled incorrectly in some cases.
  • The description of the Omega Force Antiproton Autocarbine is now more accurate.
    • This is a tooltip change only.
  • Resolved an issue that caused several batteries to display incorrect icons when slotted in the power tray.

    These patch notes are for the 20th. The new patch likely won't be live until then.

    It said 4/20/18 when I posted. Apparently they corrected it without saying anything. (You can also clearly see on Reddit that 4/20/18 was the original title. ETA: Also, it's in this thread's URL.)

    First of all, you guys really need to test DS9 without Lighting 2.0. There's hardly any light at all right now. I'm sure Slamek will be happy.

    DS9 pitch black without Lighting 2.0

    It's also a good idea to test what the map looks like without shadows, without reflections, and with these options toggled on and off in different combinations.

    Second, the flickering problems still haven't been fixed in "Victory Is Life".

    Flickering ground weapons
    Flickering tribbles on Federation fleet starbase
    Holodeck ticket 4,690,834: Flickering windows and metal gratings at Starfleet Academy

    Third, the client is still trying to patch on-demand, even though on-demand patching is disabled and there's nothing to patch.

    On-demand patching cannot be disabled
    Waiting for a programmer ...

    Assimilation of the Innocent and other tutorial quests with Nog VO is definitely NOT Nog.

    VO from Tasha Yar et al. that had been returned to Temporal Ambassador recently is now gone again.

    The 3 "Special Requisition Pack - Bridge Officer Specialization Manual" awarded my new Cardassional Tac officer are useless boxes. You cannot use the items.

    Still an issue 26.4.2018 (Stardate 95918.39) the boxes just sit in her inventory. Cannot use them cannot discard them.

    Are you sure these female Cardassians aren't shape-shifters? Their hair definitely looks like a plastic helmet.

    While we can't be 100% sure they aren't changelings, my guess would be that the female Cardassian hair isn't finished in the texture department yet.

    I wonder if A. Aliengens get the new Cardassian parts if they own the Cardie race unlock, and B. if NPC Cardies get the Cardie race parts (not really that big a deal, they were revamped a while back (S12 I think) and still look good)?

    If you can't solve it logically, solve it like a moron.

    51 + 1 Foundry Character Slots is NOT enough. Some of us love our characters. If I want to buy more character slots, why can't I? I couldn't experience the entire Delta Recruitment event without deleting a character.

    The Iconians themselves can't time travel because their memories revert, but there is nothing to say an Iconian couldn't write everything she needed to do on a PADD, pin it to herself, travel back, read the PADD, do the tasks and return. Or just get one of her Non-Herald underlings to go back in time for her.

    Want a Star Trek themed starship command fan-made Board Game that isn't fiendishly complicated but not so easy it's a joke? Download mine for free here. https://roebot56.deviantart.com/art/BOARD-GAME-R56-s-Starship-Command-STAR-TREK-Edn-682732468 A Stargate version of the game is available from a link in the description.

    Oh yeah, I do Foundry missions for both KDFs and Feds. Just search KSTF (Short for Kinas Special Task Force, where Kinas is the name of the Admiral you will be serving under). The earlier ones are less story based and more combat based, while the later ones have a much heavier story element, but keep the large battles.

    Any idea when the Direct 3D bug will get addressed so some of us can be able to check out this stuff?

    Have you sent a detailed report so they can look into it. Sounds like it's card specific.

    Everything is working fine for me.
    "You don't want to patrol!? You don't want to escort!? You don't want to defend the Federation's Starbases!? Then why are you flying my Starships!? If you were a Klingon you'd be killed on the spot, but lucky for you.....you WERE in Starfleet. Let's see how New Zealand Penal Colony suits you." Adm A. Necheyev.

    so it's a Changeling plot?

    I too am getting a very dark DS9 with Lighting 2.0 turned off. Hope this gets fixed.

    I did put a report in with information on my system that I'm running, including video card type. I'm beginning to suspect I may need to just get a new video card and be done with it.
