Happy happy joyjoy!
I was hoping a workaround or fix for this would be included.
Since the RMC is sometimes considered to be a battery and it gives +25 to all 4 subsystems, Does that mean each of the 4 boosts will give +6.25 to each of the other power levels?
So +25 weapons gives +6.25 to Shields aux and eng While receiving +6.25 from each from their 25 boost for a total of 25 + 6.25 + 6.25 + 6.25 = 43.75 power boost in each catagory.
Daizen - Lvl 60 Tactical - Eclipse
Selia - Lvl 60 Tactical - Eclipse
At first glance:
- Warp Cores sound like a great addition (happy to see the removal of "Warp 29.88" etc. Warp 10 should be maximum, unless you Transwarp or Quantum Slipstream.
- New Trait system sounds great. Hopefully we'll see alot more Traits over time, which may be obtained via things like Accolades.
- UI fixes are great. Need to see these things for myself. Patching Tribble...
Given most people carry around the Grenade Launcher, too easy to use to expose, switch and exploit kill in both PvP and in PvE. Which makes PvE easier with difficult content, thus more power creep and the mandate to increase the difficulty even further.
And what of Driver Coil skill itself? And what of Space Sets?
Looking forward to trying it out!
One suggestion, would be to have Driver Coil effect your ships sublight capabilities (turn rate, speed, power recharge after Full Impulse)
So far the only real Bug I have run into is the chat bug which is well known and hopefully fixed in this patch.
The character creation page doesn't feel as intuitive as the old version, but that simply may be because I've been using the old one for the past 3 years and this is different therefore TRIBBLE with my head a little. I will play with that system more when the Romulan faction is out. I'll create one of each tac/engi/sci to test it out.
Your critical hits reduce your target's Accuracy by 5%, stacking up to 3 times.
NICE! dose this extended to carrier pets?
Does this mean Sci Skill damage will be reclassified as Exotic Damage instead of kinetic?
Shhhhhh...
Please enable us to buy a token with Zen to faction change a 25th Century FED to a TOS FED.
Tears of Joy!!!! This is fantastic! I wont be using impulse engines to go to warp! lol.
Ground -Medical Vanguard:
- All powers you use on allies give them perfect shields for 4 seconds, along with a moderate Shield Heal.
Why the Science Class -a HP tank- is now getting Shield tanking?. I thought that this was only ground for Engineers. Why not make Medical Vaguard a perfect HP for 4 seconds?

"...warp core. Pesky little warp cores....where are you? ..."
Cruisers have always been the hull tankers, and Science Vessels the shield tankers.
He was talking about ground -- where those roles are basically reversed.

Oops. Good point. Carry on.
My main is a warp core designer, so this is my bread and butter. Now, will they be craftable?
So exciting.
