    So no more headless MACO CUrzon then.
    Nice to see (still think MkXII omega gear should count as an EV suit even if they don't give bonuses against environmental dangers.


    Nukara rep still needs some love (weapon procs are a bit meh escpecially when compared with what you can get from Nimbus III, Also one of the sets should give an extra bonus to Tholian ships)

    Other stuff seems OK.

    Also as far as rank naming. Sub admiral to Vice admiral seems wierd. Could Cryptic maybe change it to something like
    SubAdmiral I
    SubAdmiral II
    Admiral

    then when level cap is raised make the new rank something like Grand Admiral or Fleet Admiral.

    Yeah a generic Subadmiral title would be nice, "Subadmiral I" and "Subadmiral II" seems very... out of character.

    Though going Commander>Wing Commander>Subadmiral>Vice Admiral would be a better idea, and you can keep using the "Congratulations Commander" VO you have for Wing Commander.

    Admiral

    On the right track I think, how about we make Subadmiral the Vice Admiral equivalent, to fit the Subcommander-Commander progression, and come up with something else for Rear Admiral...Commander General has a soft-canon basis
    Though going Commander>Wing Commander
    Or that. That is better :)

    there being 2 different admiral ranks for only 10 levels has never made sense. why not go from commander to sub admiral to vice admiral? eliminate the v1 and v2, for fed and kdf as well

    Yeah a Subadmiral title would be good with out the 1 or 2 next to it...it just wouldn't look/sound right.

    How about Proconsul instead of Vice Admiral. Then max level can be Preator.

    Next rank in Starfleet is Admiral, then its Fleet Admiral ... what you propose would make Romulans having Fleet Admirals when Starfleet would have Admirals ... then what?

    Romulans should have Admiral and then Fleet Commander since it would be mirroring the Vulcan ranks and also since it was on a deleted scene from Nemesis.

    Commander is equivalent to Captain, so Fleet Commander would be equivalent to Fleet Captain.

    How about we rename the Subadmiral ranks to Polygon_side1_titlename and Polygon_side2_titlename.

    Polygon_side1_titlename could contact us and give us our next mission.

    That has a much better feel ...

    Overall nice patch though one thing still bugs me

    When you have KDF allied rom you can only develop phasers in the R&D department i thought it would be disruptors since the rom is allied to the KDF not the federation.

    Regression (post 13/05/2013 patch)

    For Romulans, in the mission Devil's Choice:
    Cannot complete mission due to the defeat of all incubators in Incubation Room 3 not being registered in mission journal.

    The editor has been re-enabled with this patch, also.

    I had a tough time getting into the Foundry. Had to create a test character since the old one got wiped and it kept getting hung up on "retrieving character data" or something like that. It would time out and boot me to login. I got in once finally and forgot about that bug where character creation will fail if you don't just go with the default options. So I had to try 3-4 more times before it finally got back in and worked.

    But it's all good. I'm in now and testing.

    Edit: spoke too soon, got disconnected when trying to create a new mission :(

    Allied bridge officers cannot be used to train.

    This means that if a Federation-allied Romulan obtains a Federation Boff, he can commission it and have it join his crew, but he cannot use it to teach his existing bridge officers a power such as Beam Overload 3.

    Considering that opportunities to obtain good romulan/reman bridge officers are few and far between, adressing this before launch would be ideal.

    How about fixing the audio under surround sound? I hope there is a fix in the works for that. Too many places have clicking in the audio only when surround sound is enabled.
