I thought these +5 on weapon, shields, aux and engine will be displayed in this bar like 55/50, 55/50, 55/50 and 55/50. Nada, zilch, zip. Am I missing something?
I keep seeing this sort of silliness on Admiralty assignments: Under Available Assignments "Supply Run to Distant Federation Colonies" requirements state: 55 Eng, 55 Tac and 55 Sci. Under PLAN Assignment "Supply Run to Distant Federation Colonies" the requirements are different. It says 105 Eng, 55 Tac and 55 Sci. (please…
It would have been fine if they'd just raised the level cap to 55. Or even if they'd just grouped the missions together as available between 50 and 55, had the final queues be 55-60, and left 55 to 60 as more of an optional grind like 15-20 in crafting. With new missions as they're released requiring level 55.
Just remember, 50-55 takes as much xp as 1-50, 55-60 takes as much as 1-55, so twice what 50-55 took. And that's just to hit 60 the first time. Then you've got at least 36 more level 60s to gain.
