ST.16.20111106a.4
EDITED to add a known issue.
Borg Invasion:
- The Borg are taking advantage of all the new releases happening on Tribble, and a distracted player base, to launch a full scale invasion of the planet Defera!
- The Defera Invasion zone can be accessed from either the Defera Visitors Center or Defera System in the Deferi Sector of the Orellius Sector Block.
- This area will always be available for players to visit, but will only have missions available when the event is active.
- In the off hours, players will have access to crafting vendors and a chance to explore most areas of the invasion zone without fear of being assimilated.
- Combat throughout the Invasion zone takes place at RA/BG level.
- Characters not yet at that rank will be bolstered up, much like the Borg Red Alerts.
- There are four different areas of conflict on the map, each with its own range of difficulties, varying from solo play to requiring a 5 member team to succeed.
- City
- Power Plant
- Temple
- Probe
- Each difficulty level is unlocked by completing the lower level difficulty first.
- Must complete one Easy mission to unlock Medium, and one Medium to unlock Hard.
- The main Borg boss battle is unlocked by completing at least one mission on Hard difficulty.
- Mission objectives are wiped between event runs.
- If you dont complete it on the first run through, it will reset when the next one starts.
- Special items have been created for this event: world drops, mission rewards, and craftable items.
- These items are designed to help fight against the Borg.
- On Tribble this event will be running for two hours every four hours around the clock.
- This is to help maximize available testing time and to aid in bug catching.
- Once the Invasion makes its way to Holodeck, it will be slotted into the event calendar much less frequently.
General:
- Reduced price of respec to 10 CP temporarily, for ease of testing skills changes.
- Updated rewards for first 12 levels of missions for Feds.
- Should give players a full suite of uncommon Mk II gear and specifically-created bridge officers by the time they reach level 10.
- On replay, gives a piece of level-appropriate uncommon gear.
- Should give players a full suite of uncommon Mk II gear and specifically-created bridge officers by the time they reach level 10.

- They can be shown again by using the "Show Unslottable" filter.

Powers:
- Fixed Isometric Charge so it still chains, even if the target dies.

- Updated display name on Runabout Tractor Beam.
- Updated description for Plasmotic Leach power.
- All Torpedo Spreads, except Tricobalt, have been updated.
- Made the spread attacks periodic, just like torpedo salvo.
- Instead of one big hit per target, each target gets hit with 2, 3, or 4 hits
- This is the same as salvo.
- Each hit calculates critical individually.
- This should alleviate the severe spike damage we have been seeing.
- Instead of one big hit per target, each target gets hit with 2, 3, or 4 hits
- Each target is hit with a small AoE; this is unchanged.
- The splash damage now drops off, so if you are next to target that gets hit, you won't get the same full damage that he did.
- The further away you are from a target, the less splash damage you will get.
- The splash radius is 300 just as before and the damage drops off linearly so if you are 150 away from the target, you will get half splash damage.

- Reduced Spread damage to 75% of its equivalent salvo.

- These changes affect player and NPC torpedoes.

- Automated Defense Turret, a Collector's Edition bonus, now cannot miss nearby targets.

For example, I can have the recall command toggled and have all pets follow me. However, not all follow at full impulse. I can then toggle the attack command, but not all fighters attack. A number of them remain following me as if the recall command was toggled.

Cool. But if they are counting that I'm distracted. Well. They will have a litllte surprise
I'm working on it now. I'm hoping to get them to you guys by next Thursday.
yes please. Its annoying as h3ll.
It's the primary channel for all discussion on Borg Invasion content on the Tribble Test Server.
I swear they looked assimilated to me!
thats funny!!!!!!!
As for the rest, wow! The Borg ground invasion have a lot of open issues on the bottom of the report, but that's why we're here, to get them sorted along with the developers.
i dont have enough hours in the day.
seriously sounds good though. i look forward to trying it.
YAY! That should shut up those whiny people about the lack of content
It means it's available for patching, at the very least.
Question is this all this all that is being done to it the ADT? it has been severely underpowered since the level cap was raised to vice admiral.
Can the automated defense turret be finally turned in to a devise slot item Oooo pretty please?
I thought Stahl said that the Gorn were going to be under attack by the Borg.
In trek talk it should be installed next Tuesday.:D
Man, those Deferi always get the short end of the stick....
Not sure if this is the same thing, but doffs whose auctions
expired are still not removable from the mail.
Concerning the reworking of bridge officers and consumables, does the change affect the power cells as well? I had a ton of small and medium power cells, and I distributed them among my away team, and they were eating them like tic-tacs, even when we weren't in combat, heh. I didn't notice the usage of the shield charges and hyposprays, but that would explain why they're so low on them as well.
Anyway, thanks for the update!
