    Yes, it sure does :) I updated the patch notes to reflect this, as well as renaming it from a "daily" to a "mission". Don't forget to tip your Foundry authors with all that extra Dilithium, and donate to your Fleet's projects with all the extra marks :D



    Accepting! :eek:

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    This is a great change, but I hope that players will know about it somehow, either in the UI or with a bulletin. The "earn this!" PvE interface has no foundry and the foundry interface doesn't inform players what they can earn or how they can earn it by selecting something outside of the foundry interface, before selecting something inside of the Foundry UI. They'll somehow have to know to select a mission from the non-Foundry UI and then go into the Foundry UI to find a mission that "qualifies for the daily" although it's no longer a "daily" even though it says it's a "daily."

    UI edit please.

    Need a search option to find foundry missions that count. Still not going to bother with officer reports if I do not know how long the mission will take for that Dilithium......

    custom search. You can specify a duration of 20-30 minutes.

    Meh, nevermind. By your previous posts it would take a miracle to get you to play ugc.

    The Investigate Officer Reports mission now requires completing only 1 qualified mission, has a 30 min cooldown, and rewards 960 Dilithium and 50 Fleet Marks.

    Ooooooohhhhh LOOKIE: fleet mark farming.

    I don't have to any other mission ingame.

    I bought the Romulan T4 Plasma Torpedo Launcher... Will I finally get the Launcher that I paid for after this patch, or do I have to store it in my bank? Or do I even have to mail a GM?

    I want that 2-piece set-bonus... I'll still have to wait some days for the Experimental Plasma-Array...

    "Federation characters can now purchase a Purple Nanopulse Bat'leth, and KDF characters can now purchase a Purple Nanopulse Lirpa."

    This is just great... Another step in the direction of eliminating the KDF as a separate faction with the end goal of making one big Starfleet family. :rolleyes:

    Federation has won the war. You got to accept it.

    they never put the important stuffs in changelog.You will see many things fixed (and even more broken :D ) which for some reason they refuse to add them in changelogs.

    Did you notice that as soon as you started to post in my thread it disappeared from discussion - not moved - just gone. I think you were the last person to make several posts. Correct me if i am wrong.

    I can still remember that they mentioned the KAG (Khitomere Accord Ground) optional-timer being changed to start when you leave the first room (that's a long long time ago)... That was an important information - the only easy ground optional of an STF gone. After that I stopped using public queues.

    Let's say: "Sometimes they put the important stuff into the patch notes".

    I see several nice things in the list of updates, but none of the critical fixes that severely affect gameplay.... like the game crashing.... or the "radiation sickness" (dilithium mining broken after a radiation scan).... Or possibly the Exchange Search capability (broken for several months) etc.


    PWE needs to work on those things too - not just low hanging fruit.

    Random grumbling about downtime causing inability to play during peak hours in timezone X.

    Generic complaint about why hasn't bug X, Y, or Z not being fixed.

    Protest over how long the downtime takes.

    Preemptive complaint over the extended downtime.

    Massive outrage over newly broken ______ (fill in the blank)

    This concludes the thread in one post! Brandon, please lock it now. :D

    After reading the thread, all I can say: "nail, met head; head, nail."

    Oh, that reminds me... Ornaments need to be made "uncommon" or "rare" seeing as they seem to be the hardest to find or earn! In my recent experience anyway! Like, I seem to find or earn more Andorian Bells or Bajoran Beads (which are apparently Uncommon) more often than I do Ornaments. Let's put it that way! ;)

    i get more ornaments then anything else wana trade?

    Well, it always depends on your point of view... "What is important?" - Ask this a PvPer, a PvEer, a Fleet-Leader and a Single-Player. You'll get different answers from each of them.

    Sure, Cryptic can't write down all the changes in a patch, they try to mention those things that are importent for all the groups or things that many people complained about.

    so you are saying that they are lazy to type in the forums all the changes? :rolleyes:

    lazyness is not an excuse :P

    I guess the Breen would be an exception, however there is nothing to stop them creating some alien-hybrid uniforms for these unique Boffs.

    If unique Boffs were actually allowed to wear Starfleet/KDF Uniforms, I would actually use them. Same goes for the Romulan Boffs. Unless I can customize my Bridge Officers, I do not use them, thus so long as the Breen, Reman, Jem Hadar and Romulan Boffs remain fixed, I wont be using (or in the case of the Romulan ones, purchasing) any of them.

    1 Combadge, some Pips, and correct colour spray paint = New Breen SF Uniform :)

    another very nice patch..

    how about ADDING 50 Fleet marks to the "Officer on the Watch" daily?

    finally?

    Love the changes to the Officer Reports, our little family fleet should be able to progress once again. I would like to also see an increase in the Starbase Officer Watch daily fleet mark reward; 25, or even better, 50, would be enough to get fleet members to actually visit their starbase.

    Yet they went to all the trouble to undo the mistake anyway?

    Heh, it'll be their loss until the change is undone again. On my Federation Starship I want a crew wearing Federation uniform. I've got the Breen, Reman and Jem Hadar Candidates ready and waiting, but none of them are active yet because they're restricted to what they look like and what they're wearing. I don't want a bunch of merry men as bridge officers, I want them all suited up as you'd expect. A Romulan Bridge Officer is no different from my stance.

    Makes you think though, they've got all these costume choices (Bajoran, TOS, ENT, Racing Uniforms ect) that allow us to customize our crew, yet where certain, specific Bridge Officers are concerned, it's irrelevant cause they're all locked. :rolleyes:

    I live in hope.

    Indeed. I desperately wish I could customize my borg boff.. make it charge 1000x the EC or something to customize him, I want to deborgify the only non-starfleet member on my Defiant. =P

    I remember something from the trailer for STO.. Something about Cryptic's Total Customization or something.

    OH! http://sto.perfectworld.com/about has it. =P
