Looks like they are chomping at the details, hopefully we will be able to both play and make foundry missions again soon.
Release Notes: July 28, 2011
General:
The lighting on Starfleet Academy has been updated.
Mini contacts will now show non character headshots in appropriate situations.
Such as with the memorial plaques in Starfleet Academy.
The PvE queue password prompt will now pop up on top of other windows.
Players can now join as a team to PvE queue instances.
The B'rel Retrofit ships can no longer capture points while cloaked.
The default width of the bridge officer tray has been substantially increased.
If you are training multiple abilities in the power store you will no longer need to exit and reenter the store volume between each use.
Systems:
Dampening Field will now linger for its full duration after its caster dies.
Updated the Terradome Undine stats so they are more in line with new ground combat values.
Renamed rapid fire transphasics as rapid reload transphasics.
Saurian Bridge Officers that are Rare or Very Rare now have a chance to gain the Efficient trait.
Fixed a typo in the description of the Telekinesis trait.
Fixed a typo in the description of the Rapture trait.
BOFFs should no longer remodulate weapons unless the Borg have adapted to them.
Support drones, seeker drones, security escorts and turrets now have the innate ability to remodulate, but the amount of time between remodulations depends on the rank of the skill used to call them.
Reduced the damage from the giant Aehallh worm in "Coliseum" so that players are less likely to die during cutscenes.
Missions:
Wolf 359 Borg that appear in the "State of Q" mission will no longer spawn using costumes of modern Borg.
The Emancipation Daily Mission is now fixed.
Effects:
Resolved an issue with impulse glows detaching from the ship when you turn off full impulse.
Updated the hit FX for swords to be more in line with the new animations.
Fixed graphics artifacts in underwater rendering effect.
Restored the orientation of the wormhole.
UI:
Loading Screen Updates:
Toned down the opacity of the black animated number fonts.
Added more number strings to the top animated text block to avoid empty areas on high resolutions.
Completely restored the font used in Season 3.
Fixed the zoom in & out buttons in the ship tailor.
Fixed the take one item button in the loot window.
Fixed a bug that would cause the big space tray to overlap the fire all buttons.
The exchange will now clear the price text field when you post an item.
Fixed a bug that prevented selection of Uncommon in the need or greed controls.
Revised the Galaxy Map:
Updated all sector routes.
Removed systems not accessible to players.
Added a few more landmarks.
Updated the appearance.
The mini-map player, ship, landmark and vendor icons have been updated. New versions are the same except that it now has a 1pixel black outline to make to improve visibility on certain backgrounds.
Audio:
Updated the Starfleet Academy ambient audio.
Animation:
The following animations have been updated:
Klingon idles.
Gorn walks.
Female walks.
Male walks.
Run and Sprint with Bat'leths.
Run and Spring with swords.
Sword attack animations have been updated.
Minor tweaks to the Rifle Aim/Crouch animations.
The Klingon Defense Force has been getting some love lately by the Cryptic Team, which is awesome they are starting to be shown as another PvE faction rather than just a PvP one.
As the KDF content is expanded I would like to suggest that the following:
>Do not release another faction (focus damn it focus!)
>Have the KDF make alliances with the True Way and the Reman Rebels ( Promise them Self Rule ).
>Get Cardassian Ships
>Get limited Reman Ships
>Get Playable Reman captains (that you ddint have to make!)
>Get Playable Cardassian captains (that you didnt have to make!)
>Expand the sector space to bridge the gap between the Romulans and the Klingons ( Create the Khitomer Sector and add Khitomer!)
>Add Klingon only missions for fighting the Loyal Cardassians and the Romulans,( Not just Defense missions, like Breen Dailies, and Story missions. ).
>Add the Hur'q! make some Klingon only STF's with them. ( You could have them have Coaxial Warp Drives! )
I think the federation side has no need of the Cardassians and the Remans for now, and they should be given to the KDF side to help with its growth, you could add Klingon forces around DS9 so there is not an over use of the Mirror Universe there as well.
And with a recent post by 12th we have a new leader on the board.
1st: Grand Admiral Tesla
2nd: Grand Admiral Tesla
3rd: Stone_Loki
4th: Grand Admiral Tesla
5th: Fleet Ambassador Brian
These forums are very hostile, a large section of which should be renamed from "Feed back" to "The I hate you department".
Morning 2nd, some people just have to be hostile Tesla. Instead of the " I hate you department" it should be the "very sad you can't get along department". Hopefully the 2nd and the 12th will always have The "good relations department" Keep rocking on 2nd.
Gentlemen, need to inform you that the TS startup screen has changed due to the recent update as they took out the port column. They've now added it to the address. Its. ts45.clanservers.com:9109 password: pegasusgc
More than likely some people may have trouble getting in the meeting and may be late as when I gave out the info earlier in the week, it was still formatted in its old style before the update.
What's up 2nd, we got a hold of some Romulan Ale and rosted tribble last night, it was like a savage BBQ from the ancient times.... you know the 90's lol.

I need to get back to a reasonable sleeping habit...
Now what fun would that be Lazy? I get up for work at 5:30 a.m., I work till 5:00 p.m., I go to school from 6:00 till 8:00. find time for forums at work and on the comps at school, and have two little ones attack me when I get home. I am lucky if I hit my pillow by 1:00 a.m., only thing that saves me is I have free weekends lol. I think I would go :eek: if I had a week with nothing to do, if that ever happens expect me to drop in your forums even more then I do already lol.
That is 2nd Fleets mission. To explore strange new forums, to spread happiness and fun, to boldly form alliances with all friendly feds.
If you'd like to ally with a Fleet that holds it's friends in highest regards just head over to www.2nd-fleet.org
I don't see Free 2 play coming, but let's keep our hopes up so that we can expand the STO gamer community.
I agree but STO will never go to a "full" free to play environment. Once the new tutorial is in place for both the Federation and the Klingons a new version of the current "Free to Play Demo" will be released.
There is even talk that the new Demo might be completely retooled so that Demo players can only visit Starfleet Academy and Earth Space dock if they are a Federation player, or visit the Klingon Academy, First City, and The Shipyard if they are a Klingon Player. Pretty much making demo players "Eternal Cadets" until they paid for a subscription.

im curious to see the changes from atari to perfect world. im anxious to find out if by the end of year game will be free to play.
If you have any problems do the following:
1) Step away from your computer
2) Find the nearest wall.
3) Run into that wall "head first" as fast as you can.
4) Recover
5) Send me a PM with what your problem is.
6) Repeat if necessary.:D
