General:
  • Added a section about the Foundry Spotlight to the "What's New in Season 7" help screen.
  • Foundry: Animation selections are now properly filtered and validated by region.
  • Foundry: Removed the Patrol behavior.

Missions:
  • The Borg Queen will no longer leap to her death to avoid ground hazards.
  • Nequencia: Updated item detail text so that they mention what system they are used in so if players leave they can figure out where to return in order to clear up inventory space
  • STF reward will now be granted to each player, not just one team member.
  • Into The Hive:
    • Room two now requires players to restart the virus upload after a team wipe.
    • Borg encounter now spawns when room is in phase two and the timer resets after team wipes.
  • Hive Onslaught: Players can now skip the first cutscene.
  • The Cure: updated the Leaver penalty so that players who complete the entire mission, but not a particular submission step will be able to leave the map without getting a penalty.
  • New Romulus:
    • Added a short description to the glowing plants and resonating rocks for the collection quest.
    • Updated the mission in the Ruins mission so that player can get credit on main mission for working on the event mission.
    • Updated open mission event times so that there are not multiple events going off simultaneously.
    • Site to site transport options are now only available if you've completed the appropriate step of the transporter mission.
  • Epohh Collection
    • The final rewards can no longer be turned in repeatedly if player is on a team.
    • The timer for the tagging does not start until a player tags their first epohh.

Systems:
  • Omega Conversion Crates are live!
    • All characters that previously possessed any Encrypted Data Chips, Borg Salvage, Borg Tech or STF Equipment Requisitions will find an Omega Conversion Crate in their inventory.
    • All instances of the aforementioned items should have been removed from their inventory and bank.
    • There are several different tiers of conversion that players may have fallen into, based on the amount of the aforementioned items they possessed.
      • Right-Click your crate and choose "Info" to see the exact contents of yours.
    • Omega Conversion Crates will remain locked until the character that possesses them reaches Tier 3 of the Omega Reputation.
  • Deploying carrier pets and other summoned powers no longer causes a player's power levels to rise dramatically.
  • Corrected incorrect icon for Borg Neural Processor input on T5 Omega Weapon project
  • Corrected incorrect Dilithium input requirement value on Purple Mk 12 Reman Deflector
  • The display name for the Tier 5 Romulan power was changed to Quantum Singularity Manipulation.

    • Quantum Singularity Manipulation cloaks the user 3 seconds after it is initiated for the remaining 5 seconds of the power.
  • Reputation:
    • Removed Dilithium costs from all Reputation XP projects on both Romulan and Omega reputations.
      • Affected projects are:
        • File Situation Report on Status of the Borg Threat
        • Submit Research Materials to Omega
        • Support Colonization Efforts of the Romulan Star Empire
        • Support the Romulan Star Empire
      • Some commodity inputs were also adjusted, but total cost of these projects was unchanged other than the removal of the Dilithium cost.
  • Updated the abilities and tuned the Borg Queen Diamond.
  • Corrected display name inconsistency on input requirement of Mk X Omega Ground Weapon.
  • Updated the EV Suit Tholians to be a little harder better faster stronger.

UI:

  • Unique icons have been given to various classes of ships in the ship selector.
  • Romulan Bridge Officers now display Male or Female on the store before you purchase them.
  • Updated the ship tailor contact to show individual options for each ship type you want to edit.
  • Resolved a UI/Power issue that was preventing players from being able to activate some EV Suits.
  • Updated the account button on the login and character selection screens to go to a working URL.
  • Fleet and Officer channels will no longer appear for characters not in a Fleet.

Known Issues:

    You listened to us on those sky-high prices. :eek:

    That never happens. Like ever.

    I'm still not entirely sure I trust it.
    Delta Rising is the best expansion ever and the players love it! No, seriously! ...Why are you laughing so hard? :(

    Could you show us the logic behind not letting people have what they already earned until they've grinded for X amount of hours and spent X million Dilithium? Seems counter-intuitive.

    What about what I've already put in? Also, that doesn't answer the core question: Why do we need to earn the right to use what we already earned the harder way?

    4000 Omega Marks, 15 Borg Neural Processors, and 16,000 dilithium ore. Those BNPs must be like gold :eek:

    It is looking a lot better then it did. I am still converting all my borg prototype salvages though. You can never go wrong with Dilithium. Who knows I might get in there and hate the reputaton system and not do that part of the game. So a crate full of omega marks isn't going to do me any good. Especially if I don't get them until a month or 2 down the road.

    Boxes open at T3 now? That should cut things down to about 2 weeks then?That's not so bad.

    Edit: D'oh! Unfortunate typo! ;)

    Honestly I'm fine if it's removed because its not working properly but from what I know it was...

    It was supposed to be in Season 6 as well. Why is it gone again?

    Now, that is a better solution.

    It actually isn't working properly in most instances, unfortunately. We're still working out the kinks and we'll get it back in as soon as we're able.

    I don't suppose there is any way we can keep the feature but label it "Use at your own risk" and maybe make it hard to find so in the editor so no one can unintentionally use it.

    I'm asking because I had a cool scenario based mission in mind that just needs this feature whether it totally works or not to pull off.

    Is the bug being looked into, where releasing warp plasma or a mine made your ship go faster? or is it not a bug?

    That should have been covered.

    You go faster because your engine power spikes to 125 when you release a destructable/pet effect. Fighters, mines, plasma all triggered the spike to all power levels.

    Since most people fly with engine power set low when it suddenly jumped 75 or so points they will suddenly go faster.

    Under System:
    Deploying carrier pets and other summoned powers no longer causes a player's power levels to rise dramatically.

    I'm noticing that my bank still has my Reman Datalogs from The Vault. Will those be converted as well in the future?

    I am also glad about the dilithium costs being removed. Even if they weren't terribly high, there are just too many things costing dilithium and with elite STF's being my main source of dilithium I am concerned like many others about this "income source" shrinking in the future. Are anti-Borg weapons and any other gear bought through the reputation system still going to cost hefty amounts of dilithium? Right now, you can outfit a new cruiser with its own set of anti-Borg weaponry for 8 prototype Borg salvages...worth over 18K dilithium or so otherwise. I am concerned that the basic cost of acquiring special gear is going to skyrocket. I still don't have any Fleet weapons because all of my dilith goes to the fleet starbase projects, and am hoping my "easy" source of Borg gear isn't going to dry up as well.

    Was this intended or just bug? I strongly believe it is a bug cause it will mess up the game mechanic.

    I have more bridge officer stations when my starship or shuttle is active?
