We will be bringing the Tribble server down for maintenance to apply a new update.
ST.20.20120729.3
General:
- Resolved an issue that caused weapons to stop firing.
- Updated the visual appearance of the interact FX.

- Fleets:
- Fleet events should now properly take local and server time into account.
- Fleets should no longer be spammed with fleet event messages.
- The Follow Target keybind will now toggle between the chosen camera type and Follow Target, rather than toggling between Follow Target and Free.
- This means it should be working as intended.
Systems:
- The Plasmonic Leach console can now stack up to 8 times again.
- Most random drops of Uncommon or better quality are now Bind to Account on Equip.
- Previously, they were Bind to Character on Equip.
- This means they can be put in the Account Shared bank even after equipping them.
- Operational Assets:

- This is a text change only.
- Updated the tooltips for Operational Asset ships to provide more detailed information about the ships summoned.
- This includes the ships' armaments and abilities.
- Corrected tooltip text for Turret and Torpedo Platforms.
- New assets created for more ship types.
- Ki'tang, Negh'var, Bortasqu', Guramba, Kar'Fi, Armitage, Galaxy, Prometheus, Luna, and Galaxy Dreadnought.

- This was not working as intended and is fixed now.
- The Excelsior's HP and shield modifier is now reverted to its pre-season 6 values.
- Increased the damage of Galor Spiral Wave Disruptors so they are competitive with Mk XII weapons at level 50.
- Engineering Quantum mortars can no longer be created in social ground maps.
- Mine Revamp:
- Removed the Shield Healing Debuff from Transphasic Mines.
- This proc may be replaced at a future time, but was found to be too effective at PvP while having very little effect on PvE.
- This imbalanced approach was not part of our design goals.
- This proc may be replaced at a future time, but was found to be too effective at PvP while having very little effect on PvE.
- Fixed cooldown error on Dispersal Patterns when used with Tricobalt mines.

What's the status on things like Borg Salvage and Encrypted Data Chip? Seeing as you can't equip those, I suppose they are -currently- exempt from this change?
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
Yay, now how about the issue where I have to the click the button for a power like six times before it activates.... I remember DStahl responding to a thread where I complained about this before more than a year ago before releasing shooter mode. He said he knew it was awful.. that they would fix it.. and they did... well now it's unfixed.
I have to click power buttons on the BOff bar like 50 times before they acknowledge... fix it!
Thank you.
this is backward compatible right? :eek: so like all general weapons and consoles and stuff except unique and stf related items is now bind to account right? if so, i would be SOOOO happy, and i would take back everything bad i said about the account bank, especially the thanks for nothing part!
THANKYOU!
So far the rest looks good.
Skipped almost everything else in the notes to ask this very important question: IS THIS RETROACTIVE?!
Hint: The only acceptable answer is "Yes"
god i hope you are correct:D
That this include Borg Tech? Is this retrospective?

Bind to Account on Equip sounds like an entirely new bind type. I would be surprised it if was retroactive, as the devs have stated before they weren't interested in making that happen.

or friday/next week?
This would make my day.... I will buy account bank expansions till the window fills my screen if it is so!
But I fear the worst....
However, this IS retroactive for all items you have which are NOT already bound.
Case study:
You picked up a sweet (BoE) Purple Mk X Thing of Awesomeness, and you didn't equip it. After this change, it will now be Bind to Account on equip.
Another:
You picked up another of these Things, and it's now equipped and bound to your Captain. After this change, it will still be bound to your Captain.
Hope that makes sense.
Does this mean the STF borg drops are Bind to Account on Equip? Or not?

But... but... Gozer said...
This is warranted: "GOOOOOZEEEERRRRR!!!!!!"

Winning here, if only they were cheaper for the last 2 i need
It IS a TRIBBLE deal if it doesn't include the borg drops. That was the whole reason people were ASKING for this in the first place.
Come on, guys. Come on. Don't make me facepalm. I hate it.
Check out my Foundry missions

We're already discussing other items that could possibly get this treatment, but until we see how it actually performs we can't make any promises. Rest assured however that these are not the only items that will ever be made BoE-Account.

Agree.. and what is the problem if I want to grind all my character gear with mi main character? I still have to do all the STFs.. with all the respect, but we dont want account bound to exchange MK XI gear..

current bound to captain equipment is not changed to bound to account then
they really cant go in and change what bound to captain does? i can understand stf related things, lobi, item sets, and other 1 off items like proton guns, shard swords, and shard of possibility being bound to captain, but how could everything else be used to exploit?
if i could swap around weapons and consoles that would be perfect. and stf tech drops too, really what would be the harm in that? how could we posibly exploit things? we played and got rewarded, which of our characters we use the reward on shouldn't mater.
ok hope restored a bit
One side note... in regards to tribble I cannot really test anything out on tribble right now due to the 6 characters it gives me option to test are not the ones I would test these new things out with. So out of 15 characters it cuts off 9 I cannot transfer which are the important 9 no less.
Borg drops and lobi crystals. Enough said
