So they have added warp cores

kaaahhhhhnnnnn

Does anyone know how this will effect the likes of the Borg Subtranswarp Engines that allow sector space flight beyond warp 10 as the notes make no mention of it at all!

They still work, they aren't loosing their transwarp ability. New items from this point forward just won't have that bonus anymore.

To clarify (as I understand the situation):

Items designed prior to the addition of warp cores will still retain their transwarp capabilities. IE: Borg/Maco/Adapted KHG Impulse engines will still have the transwarp bonus even if acquired after LoR launches.

Newer engines designed after LoR launches will not have transwarp capabilities, they will instead be found on new warp/singularity cores that are added at some future date.

kaaahhhhhnnnnn

Thanks Guys

Most likely there will be new sets that include a warp core in them.

It's another way to customize your ship, how it functions and what it can do.

From the release notes:

Warp Cores

• All ships in the game now have a Warp Core slot.
• All KDF and Starfleet vessels use Matter/Antimatter Warp Cores.
• All Romulan vessels use Singularity Warp Cores.
• The way in which Warp Speed in Sector Space is calculated has been updated.
• It is now based off the level of your ship's Warp Core, instead of off your captain level
• Additionally, the scale of Warp Speed throughout the game has been recalculated to allow players to go faster in Sector Space but maintain Warp 10 as the fastest displayed non-Transwarp speed.
• A speed that previously displayed as Warp 7 now displays as Warp 5, but is actually the same speed.
• This means captains moving at Warp 10 will now reach their destinations more quickly than they could before.

• Mk XI and XII Warp Cores of all qualities gain one additional travel-related enhancement that increases the usefulness of your Slipstream or Transwarp abilities.

Edit: Oh, wow, I almost missed this one:

• Completing the full Tour the Galaxy challenge now rewards the "Well Travelled" trait as a free bonus trait.
• This trait grants your captain a permanent reduction in Transwarp cooldown.
