  • Master Keys will no longer go into the Overflow bag when trading them with other players.
  • Resolved an issue where some players got a “Starship” item in their inventory.
    • This will no longer occur, but it will not do anything to change the players that have this item.
    • The rare players that find an item marked "Starship" in their inventory or Overflow Bag, should please submit a ticket to Customer Service.
  • Increased the FX speed for Scramble Sensors.
  • Updated Kuvah'magh:
    • Corrected injured text for wounded colonists on Regulus IV.

Duty Officers:

  • Adjusted CXP rewards for DS9 assignments rewarding multiple CXP types to favor the category of the assignment.
  • Increased Radiation proc damage for ultra-rare Gravimetric Scientist duty officer active roster power.
  • Reduced proc chance for ultra-rare Energy Weapons duty officer active roster power that has a small chance to remove an enemy's buffs.
  • Updated a rare situation where an assignment granting an Alien bridge officer granted an Andorian instead.
  • Improved rewards for duty officer assignment "Host Multicultural Religious Symposium".
  • Added failure outcome chance to Colonial Emergency Supply assignments in order to avoid unintuitive slotting behavior.

Systems:
  • Updated Devidians Captains to make them a little less beefy.
  • Updated the tooltip for Directed Energy Modulation to correctly reflect bleed through damage for all energy types.
    • The amount of damage dealt by Directed Energy Modulation is ~100%-200% what is displayed on its tooltip, depending on variables that include your level and your distance from the target.
  • Updated the wording of a loading screen tip relating to Auxiliary Power which referenced deprecated information.
  • Photonic Displacement ships will now use facing pitch and roll when the power is used.

    Almost a week now and still noo fixes for "Second Wave". When are engineers going to be able to use all of our powers such as turrents, mines, and cover shields?

    The fix is in there. I've updated the patch notes to make that clear.

    Tyken's Rift not being vulnerable is good, almost every time someone uses FAW one of those is killed

    SNB doff nerf is good, hopefully it goes far enough. Tyken's buff is much needed, now it will be worthwhile to use again.

    Win consoles still desperately need a balance patch.

    But the captains I found were too hard, I'm happy with this change.

    I've never found them too hard (Not saying you haven't), even the Shrouded Phantasm in Night of the Comet, but too much is being nerfed in this game and it's driving me mad...

    The new chain UI is well designed and very useful, but I don't particularly like the addition of (1 / 2) to the end of assignment names for chain assignments. A small icon to indicate it is part of an assignment chain might be nice (a few links of a chain?), but to me the addition of numbers to the end of the assignment name seems clunky and immersion-weakening.

    Thank you very much!f

    Any chance you could do this for the Star Fleet Academy (and possibly KDF version) so that we can use our turrets there as well? Yes, we can kill the holograms, but it's not fun having abilities disabled.

    The "police" duff assignment in "Second Wave" still needs TACTICAL officers, butt the success criteria is SECURITY OFFICER ... quite hard to get a full success chance on that assignment. :(

    either my download didnt get the update to starbase 39 or it was not included in this update to tribble but the starbase still looks the same to me with the old signs and lamps out in the middle of the place with lamps floating in the air on the second floor of the first room.

    I'd like to know when teaming for the latest FE will be fixed. It has been broken since day one of this FE release for the missions associated with the current FE. Can we also have the option to skip the boring cutscenes pleae?

    They are fun to watch the first 50 times but after that it gets kind of repulsive :) I do think though that orions need to teach loris how to dress since her clothing is out of style being she is out of time by about 30-40 years :)

    1 Say horray for the relief on bankink slots/space!

    2 I concur that they werent that hard and just difficult - but this being said by an old player who could equip his crew with marks and such.

    3 About time! ;o)

    4 One of the fastest community-wish-based changes outside of the doff area! *g*

    5 Now ... why? *curious*

    6 Will it affect current setups? Just to not wake the dragon ...

    no offense but.... dude, quit making stuff for the cstore and update the foundry already..

    honestly, I love the direction you guys are taking the game in, other than the fact the foundry has basically been out for ages but has just gotten the shaft time and time again it seems, SO limited.

    To boot, fleet bugs/content SUCKS, ignoring the portion of the game that keeps players around even when the game mechanics get realllllllllllly boring (after about 1 mo. ), and its just being shuved aside til season 6...?

    The same fleet issues are still present that were here when I stopped playing (over a year ago) and they havent even been touched, not even a tiny bit of love, so for over a year, these bugs have just been ignored.

    To boot, Ive gotten very insulting replies from support regarding them, that in more or less words just say

    "sucks to be you, enjoy the bugs, we ain't doin sh**"

    I looooooove STO< but get to the bugs that really matter before you release another random outfit or ship in the cstore.... erg

    please :( lol
