    Good call on removing the shuttle event weekend. Nobody would do it anyway. With the old hourly events nobody did the vault shuttle event when it came up, and nobody ever does the atmospheric assault (I've never once been able to get into it since nobody queues for it). These events need to be reworked or at least toned down. The vault shuttle event was nearly impossible to complete and the other one I've read there were bugs with it or it was too difficult or something.

    I am curious about this junior officer weekend though.

    Atmospheric Assault is near impossible to do. You're supposed to shoot down Elachi shuttles AND these humongous robots, but the robots are so frackin' powerful and the shuttles too many that trying to fight them is worthless.

    If the "Junior Officers' Weekend" is anything like the previous "Junior Officers' Appreciation Weekends", then that means we will be getting a boost to DOFF mission rewards. Hopefully this means that the Skill Points and Expertise will be increased by the same factor as the CXP.

    Does the removal of the Shuttle Weekend mean that there will be no Shuttle Weekend(s) at all, or simply that it is being postponed until a later time? I am slightly intrigued by the part in the event text where it was saying that there would be Shuttle versions of some of the existing 5-player queued missions, such as the Fleet Alert, and thought that it would be a neat way of "spicing up" Shuttle battles.

    So, the kdf uniform issue still has not be re-added to the known issues list yet I see. Any chance of having this acknowledged as still being an issue since we have all these lovely new uniform options coming with Season 9?

    As a matter of fact yes. Species traits will be like rep traits not requiring use of a token to change them and we can change them any time we want like we will for the reputation traits.

    I understand that I can't do these events because nobody queues up for them and I have no fleet members to even attempt them due to only a few being on at a time and nobody ever chatting. And maybe the reason why nobody queues up for them is because they suck and are too difficult to complete.

    For atmospheric assault, the closest I ever came to joining it was, well, clicking the join button when enough players were found. But then time ran out due to not enough joining and a couple had left the queue. So I can only go by what I've seen posted on the forums about it. I have never to this day ever been able to get into that event. It died about a week or so after LoR launched.

    The vault shuttle event was a pain in the TRIBBLE. Obisek could have his task completed but the door won't open because every single thing that can be killed/destroyed in the room had to be eliminated, including the tractor beam things. Often times it turns out a scorpion fighter or 2 are still cloaked and by the time they show up it's too late and we run out of time. We'd fly all over the damned room and it/they just wouldn't spawn. Scorpion fighters have a habit of cloaking once their health gets low and they take a good 30 seconds or so to decloak. This always happened to me in the first room. I'd be lucky to make it past that.

    It is a non-combat space pet, so it has no use at all in the game. Romulans will get a nanov non-combat ground pet and KDF will get a bat'leth ground weapon.

    I'd like nothing better than for them to remove Atmosphere Assault. That or remodel it into a much more enjoyable mission.
    1. Rename "Atmosphere Assault" to "Fish in a Barrel"
    2. Remove the ability to queue for the event in a shuttle.
    3. Add the ability to queue for the mission in a Tier V starship.

    Could you imagine how fun that nasty mission would be with full scale ships. It makes a great deal of sense as far as the story is concerned. Starships were frequently shown entering atmospheres throughout the series. The Federation and Klingon Empire most certainly wouldn't send fighters to counter other fighters. Players would love the "revamped" mission.

    It would be quite refreshing to AoE Gravity Well/Beam Fire at Will/Cannon Scatter Volley/Torpedo Spread the entire map as a punishment for their disgusting Elachi ways. I mean honestly, Cryptic made the Elachi out as the race that uses other sentient beings as incubators for their young. That process is just morbid if you think about it and the gruesome details. If I had my way, the Federation and Klingon Empire would be on a joint operation to exterminate every last Elachi in the entire universe.

    Vault Shuttle is actually pretty easy if you know what you are doing. Most people just show up and shoot. Like any STF, Vault Shuttle requires people to know their jobs and do them correctly. Torpedo Spread 1 is enough to get you through the mission on a runabout.

    I would like to see more shuttle PvE missions in the game. It's sad that there are not enough for to have a shuttle weekend event.

    Also, I do think Atmosphere needs to be re-worked so that the walkers come down easier or we have less spawns of the attacking shuttles. It's a fun run, but way over powered for 5 shuttles.
