Release Notes - July 21, 2011

System · July 2011

General:

Starfleet Academy is now available as a social map!
- Players can enter Starfleet Academy from the Sol System map.
- This map is available for use in Foundry missions!
Crafting Updates.
- All Very Rare crafting recipes now require only two unique particle traces (down from 3 for Mk9-11, up 1 for Mk2).
- The Unique Particle (UP) Traces needed for Very Rare items has been balanced across the available recipes so that most UPs have a regular recipe in which they are used based on the type of item.
- This fixes an issue where some UPs were in far more demand than others (e.g. Vertions vs. Duderons and Dekyons).
Based on additional player feedback, we are also now offering the ability to purchase schematics at the Basic Crafting Supply Vendors on Memory Alpha and Qo'noS for 10,000 EC each.
- Players may still craft schematics with Tier 1 anomalies, but the ability to purchase schematics will negate the need for players to return to low level sectors in order to locate Tier 1 anomalies for the sole purpose of making schematics.
- Most schematics now have an EC value of 100.
Resolved an issue that caused the "ShooterPrimary" bind to not get set correctly when using offset key binds.
The C-Store Batleth is now using the appropriate weapon art.
