We will be bringing the Tribble server down for maintenance to apply a new update.
General:
Changed the initial Console Choice from Admiral Quinn in the Fed Tutorial.
Replaced the "Flow Capacitor" console from Sci option with a "Shield Hitpoint" console.
It is now possible to change a Bridge Officer's costume when the Bridge Officer still has their free costume change.
Resolved an issue that caused players to have incorrect and missing character and bank inventories.
Systems:
Traits:
New, more evocative icons have been added to traits.
Liberated Borg:
Efficient has been moved from an optional trait into the required racial trait for Liberated Borg. All Liberated Borg captains will now automatically have this trait.
Liberated Borg may now select Elusive as an optional trait.
Toron Shuttles now have Cloaking Devices.
This is a retroactive change that will apply to existing players.
This is an extra power; it does not require a device or console slot.
To'Duj Fighters now have Battle Cloaking Devices.
This is a retroactive change that will apply to existing players.
This is an extra power; it does not require a device or console slot.
UI:
Character Creation UI
Updated the art for all of the species selection portraits and added a faction-themed background to them.
It is now possible to preview character stances in the character creator.
Face presets previews will correctly update after switching gender selection.
Beards and eye attachments will no longer persist across face presets.
Increased the size of the mini contact windows, as well as their text and images.
Significantly reduced memory footprint of UI windows.
Made the edges of HUD elements slightly more visible.
Made the backgrounds of large UI Windows completely opaque.
This affects Duty Officers, Contacts, Status, etc.
Made UI HUD element backgrounds slightly transparent.
This affects the power tray, shield tray, target window, throttle, weapon tray, etc.
Disabled powers on the power tray are now grayed out instead of just slightly darker.
Made some visual improvements to the Bridge Officer tray.
Decreased the space between each Bridge Officer.
Added a career-appropriate background image to the portrait.
Set up trays to collapse in UI Compact mode.
Sticky chat channel behavior will now default to being disabled.
The contact window will now reset the scrollbar after selecting a dialog option.
I am excited for the cloaking shuttles and efficient being rolled into lib borg traits, but dont suppose we can have the issue of the overflow bag button not working to bring up the overflow bag until several hours later after you have logged off fixed?
hi, some of my friends recieved free ZEN when they first transfered to tribble, and I was wondering, does everyone get that? If so then I have not gotten any free zen ( which is a shame, I was hoping to try out some ZEN ships to see if they are worth buying on holodeck) and if not...please can you make it so ? (please pardon the pun )
[*]Significantly reduced memory footprint of UI windows.
The UI on tribble already is less demanding than the one on holodeck and that will make it even better.It will be awesome in pvp now for those who like to click their powers
now can we get a better plasma/theta /smoke/particles effects
Is it normal that unlike every other patch notes post.... this one has forgot to mention that: the Mission Journals are being reworked and New Character Creation is still locked for Klinks and Rommies?

They gave out free Zen on tribble back when the F2P playtest was going on, but I don't think they have since. The sum of Zen you have on Tribble should be equal to the amount you have purchased on Holodeck as far as I know. Since there isn't as much to buy on Tribble, and purchases on Holodeck no longer carry across, most people have a stockpile built up, which may be what your friends are seeing.
So I went into the tailor to see if could fix my faceless, torsoless Romulan Bridge officer. Only to find out I STILL can't modify her appearance. I could in the last build, I just couldn't purchase it. is this horrible bug going to be fixed either on Holodeck or Tribble for the LoR update? It's very disconcerting having this Faceless, torsoless figure pop up on the large viewscreen.

Yeah I noticed that too, raced to the character creation screen to see if it was possible to play one... nope, still can't. So had my hopes up then dashed to realize they still can't be played... well played cryptic, well played..

I'm gonna go cry in my closet now.
Ive given up playing a rom on tribble i go on tribble now just for sport and if i run into a persistant bug i post it.
Im just waiting till may 21st and am hoping that cryptic doesnt throw us another curve ball like the whole March beneath the raptors wing" garbage.
Am I the only one to think 2261 MB of data patched is a bit big for such patchnotes ?
I'm currently at 70% data patched, with nearly 700 MB data downloaded. I think it's kida big ....
hmmm is this field gen or a new science console...

Is this a BOFF from a character you copied from Holodeck? if so, have you tried re-copying the character over?

Made the backgrounds of large UI Windows completely opaque.
This affects Duty Officers, Contacts, Status, etc.
have to log in and re check... but the fact remains they are just TOO BIG and intrusive. I would love to be able to shrink them.
In Beta we complained until they were reduced, and they were probably only 1/2 the size of these monstrosities. You dont need to cover the entire screen for one sentance.
It was pretty annoying and old after a few minutes
Wow, some nice work on the UI. I gotta say the trays now look much, much better.
The addition of (at least some) borders ain't bad (but I'd still like those borders more apparent).
The change in opaqueness and transparency seems to be rather useful. (Of course two sliders, one for HUD UI and other for windows wouldn't be bad.)
I hope you continue getting rid of unused empty space elsewhere in the UI as well (Doff window, I'm looking at you, for instance).
Minor nitpicks are still small instance name and time, and the impossibility to push the tray completely to the edge of the screen.
Bigger nitpicks are with the character selection screen, that's how my two toons look like: http://postimg.org/image/6g3to44x7/ http://postimg.org/image/o32xohkfn/
So, one's shown a shuttle overhead (instead of his Odyssey), the other's below the (only visible) belly of the negh'var (can't imagine what bigger ships like the Vo'quv or Jem dread would look like in there).
I won't even describe how terribly the "box" with available toons looks like (I hope we're soon gonna get closer to the "concept art" look shown in the latest blog.
Oh, and last as well as most important to me right now: No change to the current (on Tribble) completely borked EPtX powers. I really hope Adjudicatorhawk works on it, because it really impacts cruisers very heavily and very badly (see thread for previous Tribble patch and others).
EDIT: Oh, and could we do without the giant, always in the middle appearing dialog screen? The current (on Holodeck) smaller one at least keeps its place if we move it.

Excellent.

Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
thank you
Ooh, nice. I was hoping for underlying system tweaks while you guys were in there anyway

*Dances the happy dance!*
Yes! Thanks for this!

Is there some reason we can't just have an opaqueness slider?
I grant you, this is a fairly minor quibble.

Yes please!
And let us hide or collapse the mission tracker.
Could we please get Field Generators for every Mark and Quality soon? Mark XI (Rare) is the earliest, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
