We will be bringing down the Tribble server for maintenance to apply a new update: ST.40.20140316a.8
General:
Systems:
PVP:
Known Issues:
General:
- Winners of the forums loading screen screenshot contest have had their submissions added to the game!
- You can check out the winners in this thread: Loading Screen Contest
- Many old loading screens have been cycled out.
- Ships once again tilt when steering with both mouse buttons.
- The Bio-Molecular Warhead rewarded by the Romulan mission "Infiltration" has been removed.
- In its place, this mission now rewards a Disruptive Photon Torpedo which is a standard Photon Torpedo enhanced to have a chance to apply a Disruptor-like debuff that lowers the target's damage resistance.
- This new weapon is still green-tinted.
- Existing Bio-Molecular Warheads rewarded by this mission will not be altered or removed from players that have already earned it.
- Dyson Undine Space Battlezone:
- Resolved a grammar issue with the progress UI on Romulan points.
- Added UI text for when Undine progress is moving backward on Romulan points.
- Final rewards granted upon completion of the zone are now working properly.
- Increased the amount of time it takes for Undine to start attacking a point to 6 minutes.
- New ESD updates to Art, Audio, and NPCs.
Systems:
- Kit Revamp:
- Quick Fix, Melorazine, Dylovene, and Focus Fire now clear ALL debuffs of all types on their target when used.
- These powers no longer continue to cleanse debuffs over time.
- This change makes cleanse powers more usable on ground, while making the choice of when to use them more important.
- Quick Fix, Melorazine, Dylovene, and Focus Fire now clear ALL debuffs of all types on their target when used.
- Undine:
- Undine ships should no longer attempt to summon a Rift when another is already nearby.
- This still can sometimes happen if two ships activate the summoning ability simultaneously.
- If multiple Fluidic Rifts get opened within close proximity to one another, they should all now stop spawning Puddles once approximately 10 are present.
- They will automatically begin spawning again when the nearby Puddle count drops below 10.
- Fluidic Rifts will no longer attempt to pull in Mines, Torpedoes or Hangar Pets.
- Fluidic Puddles no longer cause damage to Mines, Torpedoes or Hangar Pets.
- These entities will still receive the movement debuffs, however players flying small craft will still receive both damage and debuffs from Puddles.
- Undine ships should no longer attempt to summon a Rift when another is already nearby.
- Sensor Analysis:
- Now prevents the user from cloaking while activated.
- Resolved an issue where the healing debuff provided from reaching 6 stacks on a target was improperly being applied to friendly targets as well as hostile targets.
- It will now only be applied to foes of the caster.
PVP:
- All PvP Queues have been re-structured into All vs. All queues.
- A new Space Arena PvP Queue has been added for unteamed players only.
- This Unteamed Only queue will not allow premade teams to queue together.
- This provides all participants with a level playing field in terms of teamwork and coordination.
Known Issues:
- The Dyson Sphere Undine Battlezone is still a work in progress.
- The new Earth Space Dock is still a work in progress.
- Viscous Cycle is still a work in progress.
- The Reputations tab cannot be accessed.
- The Borg and Undine episodes cannot be accessed.
- The new queued event Undine Assault is still a work in progress.
- The new Kit Revamp is still a work in progress.

Will the Disruptive Photon Torpedo be boosted by Photon consoles? When the new BMW Torps go live (no we didn't see them - lalalala), will they and the current BMW Torps be affected by Photon consoles?
You mean "Mind Game", don't you?
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."
-Thomas Marrone
I can dig it.
That is what I would want to be able to do.
LTS, here since...when did this game launch again?
So, it will just mix Fed + KDF players up all the time. No more themed Fed Vs KDF queues anymore?
What about Kerrat, will this happen to that so the teams are always balanced there and not 8 Feds Vs 2 KDF ?
Kerrat is PVPVE. There are plenty of people who go in there not even to play the PVP part. Its basically an open war zone. Nothing they can really do about balancing it.
TRIBBLE Hydra! Hail Janeway!
Haven't read all the notes, since the PvP bit rather stuck out for me. Thankies Devs! On both changes.

So now we have three major powers each with own unique equipment and ships, packed into two factions, each building their own unique starbases ect., just to have everyone squeezed into the same team in PvP? :rolleyes:
I hope there is much more coming (getting rid of factions, merging evertything into a happy Joint Federation) than just this, otherwise it would just be... silly.
I'm fine with the premade changes, but I wish they had left the option to do Fed vs Fed. Ah well, off to respec and boost sensors to the max so I can see cloaked ships.
Not many science vessels can cloak anyway. Those that can are romulan. Does this affect Sensor Scan, the captain ability?
im afraid you are, nether of those ships are sci ships :P
I edited the post. Refresh the page.
Hmmm February does not seem long ago to me and that was the last time PvP was in the patch notes, yes it was only a new map and que for shuttles but hey it was still PvP.
or vise versa
agreed
Hence maybe the name of S9 "A new accord" since it sounds like we will be "one happy fleet" again fighting the evils of the universe why not have this done.
Mixed queues and a pug queue?
Oh... my... god

Focus Fire? Isn't that supposed to say Battle Strategies?
Federation? Hrmmm, guess I could see it being named the Klingon Federation instead of Klingon Empire...just waiting on the silly Feds to surrender.
Can you add the Disruptive Photon Torpedo to one of the existing KDF side missions please, it's about time they got access to a proper green photon torpedo.

Yes, and yes.
Yes, sorry. "Infiltration" is part of its internal name.
They are identical to a Photon Torpedo Launcher [Acc]x2 of the same rank, plus the additional Disruptor-like proc.
That's not on our list for Season 9, but we'll look into squeezing it in for both KDF and FED at some point. I can't make any promises on a time frame.

I agree that full pre made vs full pug need it a fix, but this system just killed the Hey Kirk, lets go to a PVP for the sake of the fun.

So this isn't going to include Equipment Diagnostics (removes mechanical debuffs for 30s)? Just the powers listed above?
