re: All the bickering about the T4 Dyson changes....
It was broken. Now it's fixed. It really is as simple as that. It doesn't matter how the issue was brought to our attention - whether it was PvP or PvE players, neither or both. The simple truth of the matter is that it was not working as designed, and now it is.
As for the cries of "now it's useless!" ... I fail to see how any extra damage can be considered not worthwhile. In this particular ability's case, it ends up giving you an amount of "free" extra damage output that is almost equivalent to an extra Tactical Console. Far from insignificant.
If the resulting fix has caused it to appear subpar compared to other Reputation Passive choices, we are willing to review it for potential tuning. But fixing its incorrect behavior was far more important for the short term.

I totally agree with this.
Did YOU people REALLY thought STO would allow this BROKEN ability to go un-noticed???
You didn't have it before Dyson started so stop "All the bickering about the T4 Dyson changes..."
Well since a lot of us are T4 or T5 with rep already will you guys be giving a free respec for Dyson rep abilities and or just resetting it so we can choose the right ones?
Yeah forreal anything that boosts dps is still worth using, especially in pve. Also please fix faw, yeah it was op since double procs, but now you guys are simply breaking the procs it should be procing. Also please fix mail, idk how it even got broke since there was nothing in the patch notes wrt mail outside of icon changes.
Also please add some security officers all over the galaxy, and if you want to sell some new freighter type ships out of the new packs that will inevitably coming out, add a security officer npc similar to the ones at hubs.
Also the grinder on the suliban ship when using a romulan character only allows you to break down romulan doffs, id like that grinder to be able to do both romulan and allied faction since when you open packs and stuff its not romulan doffs, its allied faction doffs.
Dyson Tier 4 Offensive Rep Ability "Tactical Advantage" no longer stacks, and will now only benefit damage from the owner of this ability.
As a side effect of this, it no longer displays a Debuff icon on the target.
I'm pretty sure the ground version at tier 3 works the same way. Will that be changed also?
While you're at it what's the word on the tier 3 nukara passive, cryo immobilizer? I was told ages ago that it shouldn't ignore resist and hold breakers and it still does, still stacks forever.
Same with the biochemist debuff doff. Still stacks without limit and procs on science officer damage powers. Seems silly one player can stack a -10 damage res debuff 25 times by themselves.
can u guys fix the ''Honor Guard Elite'' Accolade, i have both the full Mk XII KHG and Adapted KHG sets which the Accolade have all checks on it but it's still labelled as In Progress and it prevent me from getting the final outfits of the KHG.

Could we rather get a free respec token for that reputation or something?
Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

Also, good job on making the Dyson T4 passive complete garbage. So glad I was lazy and only reached T4 rep today...
