Hi Captains,

We will be bringing down Star Trek Online tomorrow, Thursday, June 20th, at 6AM PDT (click here to view in your timezone) for maintenance and to apply a new patch. Patch notes can be found here, and we expect this maintenance to last for 4 hours. The test server may also be unavailable during this time.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,

- The Star Trek Online Team

    Massively had a blurb about the New Summer Event a day or two ago...

    There is a thread around about it, I read it last night.

    I too have been waiting for this patch to hit holo.

    It'll be nice to do multiple Tour runs in the time frame of the event now.

    Also, Romulan captains can now recruit Romulan BOffs.... :D

    Nimbus
    Added a bartender store to buy items from the player.
    Added bank and mail access to the bar area.

    Ah, very cool, I've been asking for this since LoR hit holodeck! Good decision on this one, it will keep the Nimbus III social zone very much allive and people that want to RP as Nausicaan or Orion pirates can use it as a hub.
    Now, if only you could add a ship selector like the Drozana one....:)

    Romulan Captains now have access to a series of "Bridge Officer Applicant" Recruitment assignments which can reward Romulan or Reman Bridge Officer candidates of Green or better quality depending on the outcome.

    This was also very much needed, I'm happy it's finally here.

    Livona, a Romulan Duty Officer, no longer has the Founders of the Federation trait.

    lol :D I thought she was a Federation spy!

    The Plasma Flamethrower project is now available to players that have reached Tier 5 of their Romulan Reputation

    Also long time comming, will make many people happy to hear this!

    Slightly updated the appearance of the character Law on Nimbus.

    Slightly as in adding pointy ears? ;)

    The UI style can now be set per character.

    Amazing news not only for me, but for everyone I'm sure! While I really like the 'default' versions for the Klingon and Romulan UI, I absolutely love the TNG one on my Feds. However doesn't look so nice on the more pointy interface of the Republic & KDF. Will spare us from changing it all of the time. :)


    All in all, this is one of the better patches we had, many issues being adressed.
    However I might have missed something, but I didn't read about adressing the issues that new KDF chars. and KDF allied Romulans are experiencing. The game is in many ways treating the new Klingon chars. by pre-LoR standards, preventing them access to many parts of the gameplay before they reach lvl 21 as it was pre-LoR. And KDF allied Romulans are experiencing a number of issues like not having access to PvP wrappers, empire defense missions and players have reported not having any KDF dailies under the 'Availible Missions' tab.
    I was hoping that this would be high on the priority list, since people can find it gamebreaking in certain segments. I hope it gets adressed very soon. I do apologize if this was mentioned in the patch notes and I somehow missed it, but after going twice through that rather large list I didn't see these issues being mentioned.

    Fleet Updates

    Updated all Fleet project inputs to allow fleet members to input Engineering and Operations department duty officers where you could previously only slot Engineering OR Operations.
    Updated all Fleet project inputs to allow fleet members to input Science and Medical department duty officers where you could previously only slot Science OR Medical.

    Why haven't you done the same thing for Tactical/Security? Or have you and just missed it out of the patchnotes? We struggle for Security officers as much as Medical, and both far more than Operations!

    I agree - I am hoping that this just was missed in the patch notes and covered all main types of duty officer inputs across the board.

    About Hypos et al. They really should stack to like 100. Since we use hypos/etc from inventory first, its not like the stack size is limiting how many we can use. Especially with Reputation requiring around 1200 (or so) each, a stack size of 20 gets annoying fast.

    I'd like that, but it doesn't say, does it? Maybe I missed it...

    Best part of entire good patch for me:

    "The UI style can now be set per character."

    Nice! I wanted to play with my UI styles, but didn't want my feds ending up with KDF UI styles :P

    Color palettes per character? How did I miss that, that's great. I might finally use it. :D
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    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!

    Sounds awesome, when will the Lore Mission for KDF/KDF Roms be scaled down in level to match the FED version of it now that everyone starts at the same level instead of a higher level?

    What about those RR KDF ally costume slots getting broken?
    And I saw the missing boff/department heads fixed in tribble but they are not in the patch notes for some reason.

    The patch looks pretty good, unfortunately I don't see in the patch notes a scaling fix for the KDF/KDF ROM lore mission to start at a lower level to match the federation since they both now start at level 0.

    hey great patch's especially this one

    The UI style can now be set per character.

    so how come there no custom pick color like maybe a 3 color

    1 color for menu's background/backdrop
    2 color for menu's name head
    3 color for game text
    with a transparency setting

    Disabled rotation of characters on the character selection screen.

    Why? I like that feature. In fact I wish I could rotate my BOffs too.

    Cryptic should run the maintenance now while the server is screwed up anyway so that we loose less time to things that shouldn't be happening.
