      • They are now given both a Beam Array and Dual Cannons.

    If I'm reading the patch notes correctly, it seems that the Turnabout mission has not been fixed where it tells you to equip a rebreather when you aren't given one, or where you go onto the bridge and can't interact with the console to go into the next area of the Elachi ship. I sure hope that Turnabout does get fixed so that it can then complete.

    It was generally said that at 25 power, your shields would stop regenerating, though they would only go completely offline at 0 power.

    And on another note, sweetness Zero :)

    We changed the innate Shield Regeneration formula so that from Shield Power of 1-25, your regen rate is now always the same (extremely low, but still existent).

    This will probably only affect Warbirds, who were able to have a default setting of 15 Shield Power when all of their energy was rerouted to other systems. With a shield power this low, their shields would not ever regenerate.

    Tacofangs has the answers

    some of us have been following the texture issues. Does taco have a explanation you could link to or could you point us in the right direction?

    The C-store is always disabled on Tribble.
    It will remain that way. :)

    does that mean we'll eventually get a Romulan equivalent? :(


    Adjusted the console layout of the D'deridex Retrofit to 3 Tactical, 3 Engineering, 3 Science.
    Adjusted the console layout of the Fleet D'deridex Retrofit to 3 Tactical, 4 Engineering, 3 Science.

    Yay! I'm adding another hug to your tab, Zero.

    Does this mean those of us experiencing the bug where killing all of the Elachi Incubators in Cry Havoc doesn't progress the mission, can now complete it?

    Will we, or will we not, be able to test the Reman Playabe Species? I mean it's an entire playable species. Their traits should be tested but from what i'm hearing off of others who've patched they're not available?

    You should make all prices on the Tribble Dilithium store zero. So people can test items and whatnot. :D

    I agree ;) Despite the Tribble C-Store being 'disabled', I'm able to claim the T3 Excelsior and T4 Venture on my Fed characters (got them quite awhile ago).

    Unless this 'disabled' status concerns new purchases only, I'm not seeing it myself :D
