    tell me about it... white sensors doffs are selling for 1 mill+ on the exchange! And almost never dropping from recruitment missions or doff packs! And my fleet is still 15 short! (ok, we COULD dump 20mill into the exch and get it done, but who's to say we won't just get another mission just as expensive tomorrow? :/ I won't ruin myself to get the base to T2, and then get stuck.

    I've been a little busy..... Has the Aug 2nd patch gone live yet?

    If not, will both this and that go live at the same time?

    ....Or will we need to wait till those are ready to go with them and the others? (yes, last question was intentionally obtuse ;))

    Some Limited Account bind on character item testing: (what I had in inventory that had not been equiped)

    MK XI and MK XII Very Rare Phased Tetryon cannons and beam arrays - Bind on Character

    MK XI Very Rare Polaron Cannons - Bind on Account

    MK XI Rare Disruptor TAC consoles - Bind on Character

    MK X and XI ground weapons - Bind on Account


    Was really hoping the new Phased Tetryon space weapons would be be Account bound - oversight or as intended? :(

    Slight internal miscommunication. Unique Doffs now have the capability of displaying a gold border, but the items themselves have not yet been updated to support that capability. Because prior to this, they would show no border if we flagged them as "Unique" quality (which would've been strange).

    They'll get their proper borders soon!

    Both the "Development Report" and "Recruitment Report" use Advisors. Perhaps another specialization could be chosen.

    Military, Engineering, and Science do not have a specific required profession like the others.

    Also, there seems to be variability among the missions for success rates when slotting appropriate officers of the same quality with the same number of traits.

    For example:

    Espionage Report - Very Rare, Security Officer, 1 Critical trait - Success- 79%/Crit- 21%
    Engineering Report - Very Rare, WC Eng., 1 Critical trait - Success 81%/Crit- 19%
    Recruitment Rep. - Very Rare, Advisor, 1 Critical Trait - Success 81%/Crit- 19%

    Should these be equal?

    Otherwise it will be a great addition for heavy DOFFers and I look forward to using it on live.

    Is this going to end up like the inventory unique items that did not become gold unless you did not own it already or were able to reclaim it from the Cstore? I know all my FE uniques stayed the same color among other uniques like the Crossfire Tribble so now there seems to be 2 versions of most of these items in the game.

    With all of these conversions coming in. Can we get increasess in the amount of commodities we can purchase? It's currently 50 at a time but a lot of early assignments need 1,000, if not more. When donating samples to fleet projects, it would be nice to be able to donote more than one at a time!

    Look at the last patch notes, they're putting in a slider for data samples and particle traces.

    Can the flight deck officer bug please be fixed?


    Equipping flight deck officers with the defense to carrier bonus when on Recall is not working.

    The bonus is applied but it flickers on and off twice a second making it useless since 50% of the times you have the bonus and 50% you dont.

    Bug has been reported through system and in these forums.

    I would almost rather see the ability to put higher tier against the project, such that they count for a higher quantity of the total.

    For example: white = 1, uncommon = 5, rare = 25, purple = 125
    This is following the pattern it takes to upgrade using the doff assignment change, the actual value could end up being less, but this would be the max.

    Say you needed 30 conn officers. You could then do this with 30 whites, or just 6 uncommon, or 1 rare and 1 uncommon, or 1 purple for a huge waste.

    Just in case it hasn't been stated, in MY experience, the Bio Neurals are an issue, yes, but not half as much as the Isometric Charges.
