    Quite a few fixes indeed. Nicely done, Cryptic, with most of the: Systems, Content, Foundry improvements.

    Bridge Officers are assigned to empty slots when readying a ship.
    No! I like my new ship to be blank when I activate it. It makes setting up my power trays easier when it's not 'pre-cluttered' with stuff!

    The arc in which Cannons: Scatter Volley hits enemies in has been increased from a 45° arc to a 90° arc.
    Scatter should be per the cannon's normal arc. I want turrets spewing everywhere! :D

    Breen Bridge Officers from the special mission reward during feature episode replay from the Cold War arc now include built-in EV suit functionality.
    That's cool, I guess. For that 1% of times I need an EV suit. ;)

    And can we get the freakin' Echo Papa drone 'I can't run when it's active' issue fixed!!!! :#

    They're just talking about loading them into the stations of the ship. The recent change that keeps BOff abilities from loading into trays automatically should still apply. Honestly, I don't see a reason for this new change, but it isn't going to harm anything, either. It just means that those of us with lots of BOffs are going to have some randos that we'd never use in a station placed in there by default, so we'll have to change from one BOff to another, rather than from a blank spot to our desired BOff.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    LOTS of quality of life fixes here. Well done Cryptic! Nice buff to CSV too! Time to dust off my Romulan to see what the numbers reflect after the change.

    Nice change for the Breen boff.
    Rest of the changes is a mixed bag to be honest.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Nice to have the Crossfield and the Mokai raider into the Foundry and the Walker and Sarcophagus ships were already added last path, even if that addition went unannounced.

    Note: The option “Move equipped items to newly readied ship” is now default set to On.
    This can be turned Off in the Basic menu options tab.

    Don't forget to check this option when you sign on after this patch....if you prefer it OFF.

    Why does the Exchange need a Vanity Shield category? All current vanity shields are bind on pickup because they are mission, reputation, and special rewards.

    I'm pretty sure the DSC vanity shield is BoE at least I've seen it in the exchange.

    I wasn't even aware there was one. Then again, there was a crafting set with a Tron effect from the good old days. I know they changed something with it a while back, but at one point, it could be sold.

    Many nice fixes, Cryptic.. thank you! Many of these were causing a lot of frustration playing this game. Some of them are also years old, so appreciate those fixes seeing the light of day!!!!!!!!

    Nice fixes...

    Now, can we please, for the love of The Preservers, get the bug fixed where switching ships in space blanks out all your space and ground traits?
    Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.

    Things I want in STO:

    1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
    2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
    3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
    4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
    5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
    6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
    7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
    8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!
