Ah, so that's why I stopped at 61,5% prepatch.
Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.
Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
I see you have opened up STF queues for Romulans, and just wondering how we are meant to level past 21 with no missions other than regrinding the prior missions etc...
Nice set of updates, looking forward to getting back on later
DELTA PRICE RISING
Nope, the pre patch server broke and no one could pre patch
Erm, if the base is 45 and t'lis gives +5 to all systems shouldn't it be 50 wep, 50 shd, 50 eng, 50 aux?
Also what do you mean by singularity power will makes your ship easier to detect? Does this outright counteract the stealth bonus or is it based on charge level (ie. no charge and you can't really be detected, 3 is slightly detectable and at 5 you are fairly detectable?)
And thank you for adjusting the mission levels.
much thanks for adjusting the Quantum absorption.
So much awesomeness in one patch. can't wait to get on tribble and play.
I keep telling you that Kirk talked it to death
Federation: Today, no one needs to die.
Romulans: Today is a good day for somebody else to die.

new klingon ships?! stahl mentioned a refit brel and tier 2 bop, is it them? new fleet ships? if anyone can find out sooner then i can get on, do tell!
every texture updated huh? so things will be looking more pretty?
is their any more of the leveling content available for roms? the nimbus 3 stuff is next right? id like to play everything at the appropriate level, but i want to do stuff with my rom, and that causes me to gain experience and level...
Or alternatively... for Reputation, just make characters have completed reputation in the frst place...
So what exactly will come up when I place this on a map? Are they meant to be the "generic" alien mobs from Exploration Clusters? Can we customize them at all?
Great patch, by the way.
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."
-Thomas Marrone
The pre patcher is broken i think someone said kirk talked it to death though it is more liley chekov made it malfunction trying to get it to understand what "Wessels" are
*Junior Tactical Officer* But sir the cube IS right in front of us.
*Me* EXACTLY! Its right in front of us and you still missed it! Just step away from the console.
Nifty, thanks.
Again, nifty - thanks.
Awesome, thanks.
Nice clarification - thanks.
Good idea what one is, curious to see what "more" means and what their consoles are. Nifty, again thanks.
Those patch notes are a little confusing because they incorporate multiple iterations of internal changes we've been making.
Initially, we switched the T'liss to having a flat +5 to all power levels to make it a little better rounded for early game play.
At a later time, we decided to test having all Romulan ships start at 45 power, rather than 40 power like they had been.
When this happened, we decided that a +5 to all subsystems for the T'liss would have been overkill on top of that change - it would have ended up with a flat 50 in all subsystems, much like the Miranda, but with Battle Cloak, Plasma Shockwave, and a faster turn rate on top of that.
To balance this out a little better, we ended our current iteration process with the T'liss having 45 Weapon Power, 45 Shield Power, 45 Aux Power, and 50 Engine power to start with.
Sorry for the confusion. I hope this clears things up a bit.
Regarding the Stealth penalty with Singularity, it basically works like this:
-With no Singularity, you're at a significantly better Stealth rating than klingon Battle Cloak
-With your Singularity at half full, you're still slightly better than klingon Battle Cloak
-At full Singularity, your cloak is worse than klingon Battle Cloak
Other skills, racial abilities, etc. can still modify your cloaking value normally.
Or, did he sing it to death! :eek:
Nooooooooooooooo...... :cool:
