    "New PvP mode", is more accurate. I believe it's using Cracked Planetoid as the map :) But yes, it's a start.

    And I want to say this: the Community support for PvP, including bootcamp, the guest blogs, you all, and more made this possible :)

    Cheers,

    Also from the patch notes:
    - Nimbus Pirates can no longer subnuke
    - APB no longer gains stacks from torps and such
    - Resolved an issue which was causing some captain career abilities to not properly work such as "Photonic Capacitor". -> I have no idea what that means...
    - Cryo immobilizer can now be resisted
    -T5 Rommy cloak and the Nukara T5 now share a global cd... which sucks if you ask me.

    Of course we would all love grand open zones... and challenge maps with options... and all sorts of other fantastic things.

    However this is here and its now... and appreciated. Thanks. New is new, I'll take it and be very very happy.

    We have been waiting mostly patently and then not so much and then indifferently. lol I hope you guys continue with some more new things in 2014, cause now your going to get us being nonindifferent (I think I made that word up). :)

    It'd be neat if the team would also hook up PvP versions of shuttle-only maps like the Vault interior or Atmospheric Assault. They'd be a bit smaller than Cracked Planetoid, but when your ships are tiny and have little in the way of defenses, that can be a plus.

    Is a start, but I hope is that, a start and not the end.

    Good news today for Star Trek.

    Please go test it out on Tribble! Let us know if it's fun, if queueing mixed-faction for faster queue times is fun, etc. :)

    until the red faction is closer to being as healthy, player population wise, as the blue faction, all the pvp should be cross faction. faction distinction has been destroyed by battlecloaks, carriers, raider, battlecruiser, and everything else being available on all sides, no side distinct gameplay is left to be lost with factionless ques. trying to pvp right now with a kdf character is suffering, id play kdf more but i cant get matches half as often as i could if i just switched to fed.


    can we have a pvp mode that require tier 2, and another tier 3 ships? id be 10 times more interested in that then shuttle pvp. not that i dont tremendously appreciate the work put into adding shuttle pvp!

    So, I think the general consensus from the people I play with has been "More maps and give us the teaming tech everywhere."

    Does this mean that filthy Klinks can queue in the same team vs other fixed facton teams?

    I think the global cool downs on the T5 need addressing before they go live - please dont let the 10 min on all CD get through......

    the Nukara T5 Tetryon Cascade ability is 3 mins cooldown. Yet when other T5 ability is triggered, it goes onto 10 min cooldown.

    Sat with a couple guys in Sol 1 queued up for the new map, tried getting people to come test from OPvP, got no response at all really. Over an hour only four came to test, no pop even.

    More people need to come test this stuff, its fricken PvP content for christs sakes, get over there and TEST.

    :D I love seeing the pvp community excited about something like this. Even if it is a little step in the right direction, it is a step nonetheless. Very nice job! Great...now I must patch Tribble...

    This is a refreshing change of tribble notes, and I appreciate your sentiment.

    Thanks Bran.

    Doffs are 2 for ST cooldown and 3 for BO cooldown.

    Well looking over the list of all the available small craft, I can see that there will only be a small handful of ships that players will use. And one that stands out above the others. The Tholian Widow Fighter with a Tac Boff and a Sci Boff and 2 Tac consoles and 1 Sci consoles puts it at an advantage above other small craft. It will be prob the most used.

    Peregrine Attack Fighter has 2 tac and 1 Eng consoles but only 1 Uni Ens Boff but can have DHC. The Delta class is also an good ship with 1 Tac, 1 Eng, 1 Sci consoles and 1 Ens Uni Boff and 1 Sci Boff station.
    The best Tank looks to be the Voth heavy fighter.
    It just looks like people are going to want to fly ships that have 2 Boff seats and 3 consoles. Any ship that does not have at least that will be at a disadvantage.

    So that leaves just 6 ships to choose from.

    With the Romulan Commanders Gig being an exception with a Battle cloak and jump.

    But the only ship that is going to give you 2 Boff seats and 2 Tac consoles and 1 Sci is the Tholian ship. Running Romulan Plasma Weapons you could use 2 Plasma Tac consoles and 1 Embassy sci consoles for a %9.6 damage boost. Just looking over all the specs for all the ships and I can see already that in time it will be nothing but one or two ships being flown.

    Now one saving grace that will break up this monopoly will be pre-mades. Ships like the Yellowstone that have built in abilities like the eject warp plasma and tractor beam or the Ferengi Pods metaphasic shield array. Or the Voths built in hazard emmiters. These special traits exploited in a team setting with set game plans and good communications can be extremely deadly. But for the avarage solo Pug player one of the 6 superior ships is going to be the best choice.

    wow 2014 seems off to a good start.
    You have already matched the PvP content of the Tribble Patch notes of the last 2 years combined.

    With more then 24 h of active testing on tribble you have surpassed the freighter sortie (the last new pvp mode on tribble) that never materialized on holodeck.

    Lets hope shuttle wars makes it to holo this time.

    It is much appreciated, but i won't hold my breadth until its on holo.
