    whoa, awesome.
    What will we have to complain about now? I guess everything has been resolved.
    Should I start posting again after all this time?

    Are the fleet stats on the galaxy dread finalized or are they still subject to change? Because I'd pay all the monies for a CDR or LCDR tac.

    Wow, wow, wow! Now the Gal-R is actually better than before. The ensign eng isn't as useless anymore!

    And the KDF costume bug fix is very welcome. Hoping it really works.
    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!

    The change to the team powers is nice and helps improve the use of other team skills especially say the third eng ens on the gal r can now use eng team without disrupting a tac team cycle

    the blog had 'exciting' changes to the galaxy X, not the galaxy. unless theres something unbloged about to be found in this patch, i can only hope.


    "There is still a shared cooldown between two "Team" powers of the same career, e.g. Science Team I and Science Team III."


    .... oh wow. this is... very good, mostly. it will be a bandaid for certain ships with too many ENS eng stations. but, this will be a nerf to the already quite marginalized FOMM and ATB. at least for FOMM, i always saved that for when i saw someone use a team skill that was not TT, knowing they couldn't clear it for a good wile. so those 2 skills just got nerfed.

    could you guys additionally take away all the clears from HE and put them on the team skills? HE is the best hull heal, every single build runs it, and it clears a ton of things. this is imbalanced, makes everything strong at clearing debuffs, and ruins quite a few skills. not nearly as many people run a team skill other then TT, so needing ET and ST to clear things like energy drain, dots or aceton beam would make those skills much more effective

    OMG....

    You finally give me my saucer-separated Galaxy-X, you add a hangar bay, universal ensign, and a fleet upgrade to boot, in the same patch that you take team abilities off the shared cooldown?

    I can only assume this patch was made to personally thank me for going lifetime.

    You're welcome.

    Edit: Oh, BTW, does the "Intrepid Nacelle Fix" extend to the Veteran ships, et all? As far as I know, currently all of the special warp modes are broken.

    Edit2: My Gal-X is devoid of a hangar bay on Tribble...

    Allow me to just chime in here, so we can try and stem the tide of requests for a Commander Tac on the Gal-X.

    A ship that has a Comm Array will not have a Commander Tactical station. A Commander Engineering slot is one of the defining factors in determining whether or not a ship has a Comm Array. Furthermore, a Commander Engineering slot is one of the core defining characteristics of a Cruiser, which the Gal-X is, and will remain.

    So, I'm afraid you can cross that one off your wish list.

    Also, apparently while I can slot the saucer separation on my Galaxy-X, the ability does not show up, in my power list or in my tray.

    First let me thank you for coming and answerd the players questions.

    But a LCDR Tact that is most players asking. Why cant have LCDR Tact?

    And the ens universal for the Galaxy R? Why cant we have that? Is that too much to ask?

    Sorry for bad english.

    Thank you for chiming in on that matter, Borticus. It's really nice to hear from the devs about this, and to see a bit of the internal logic behind that particular decision.

    While I never personally thought that a Commander Tactical slot was appropriate for the Fleet Galaxy-X, I join many others in thinking that a Lieutenant Commander Tactical or Universal would certainly give it the teeth that a Dreadnought deserves.

    Any chance you'll weigh in on that question? :D

    How about LTC Tac? in Lieu of that, the peregrine falcon has innate rapid fire 1, could that be added to the galaxy X? The problem a lot of people are talking about on the X is that it isn't Tactical Enough to be viable for DHC.

    Thank you for your honesty.

    So its a flight deck cruiser now that is labeled as a dreadnaught right? ;)

    I do notice you are not dismissing the possibility of the lt cmdr though and I really do wish you would let the Fleet Galaxy-R boff layout mirror that of it's KDF sister ship, the Neg'Var, and replace that ensign engineer with a universal.

    Or add new boff abilities, that would be even better.

    Probably because there are already a bazillion cruisers that have (or can have, in the case of a LTC Universal BOff) a LTC Tactical BOff station.

    Thanks for the clarification! Besides, the Phaser Lance is effectively a form of Beam Overload III, which is a good enough Lieutenant Commander power for people to be happy with.

    And the ensign + Lt tactical are on a bazillion cruisers as well, you just don't seem them as often. Sovvy, Ambassador, and that tier 3 fleet ship retrofit all have it.

    The Tal Shiar Adapted Battlecruiser has a Commander Universal. The Battlecruiser Comm Array, Sensor Analysis and an Integrated Cloaking Device.

    I get the Gal-X not having a Commander Tactical, not sure why there isn't a Lt.Commander Tactical however. For what is supposed to be a Retrofit to bring the vessel into use for warfare that is just not making sense. Especially when you tick up to the aforementioned vessel which comes with all those other features and is not a Dreadnaught.

    Maybe it is because that character is in a fleet in Holodeck but not in Tribble...

    I really think the LTC engie should be either made universal or changed to a tac seat. Dreadnoughts are supposed to have some teeth to them, and having just a LT or LT + Ens isn't very potent for a Dreadnought

    I'm not sure what's more sad:

    1. That you just completely broke PvP and made it possible for a team to rarely, if ever die
    2. That no one at Cryptic has the design sense to realize what a terrible call this is
    3. That I doubt there are enough serious PvPers left to care
    4. That I really don't mind any more, because a huge part of me never wants to be lured back into this constant disappointment of a game, and stuff like this makes that less and less likely.

    Are there going to be other changes to the Team abilities? They are currently balanced as pretty powerful heal effects due to their penalty cost. For example ET and ST currently have large instant heals which are balanced by the fact that they might not be available when you need them, and of course TT has that shield rotation thing. If they no longer interfere with each other, there's almost a disincentive to running TSS and Aux-to-SIF (especially the latter, which shares a CD with other Aux-to-X abilities).

    Subnuc is going to be ... devalued ... I think
