Systems:

• Research and Development:
  • Crafting material reward packs have been added to all queued content.
    • Normal queued events will reward a “Normal Queue Crafting Material Reward Package” in addition to the standard rewards.
      • This pack includes a random combination of Common, Uncommon, and Rare materials.
    • Elite queued events will reward an “Advanced Queue Crafting Material Reward Package” in addition to the standard rewards.
      • This pack includes a random combination of Common, Uncommon, Rare and sometimes Very Rare materials.
        • The Very Rare material is determined by the type of queue (ground or space) and what enemy players are facing.
  • Crafting harvest nodes have been added to most of the episodes.
    • This is a work in progress and is not complete.
  • Old Data Samples which were required in numerous Fleet projects have been replaced by new crafting materials.
    • For already slotted projects which required the old Data Samples, no progress will be lost as adding new crafting materials will continue the progress.
  • Resolved an issue causing the recipes for all Ground Weapons at or above Mark IV to be invalid.
  • Resolved an issue where Disruptor Wide Beam Pistols were not being awarded on completion of their crafting assignments.
  • Resolved an issue causing Tricobalt Torpedo crafting projects to create Plasma Torpedoes instead.
    • These projects now correctly create Tricobalt Torpedo Launchers of the chosen Mark.
  • Resolved an issue causing the Component - Emitter Module schematic to display incorrectly in the R+D UI.
    • This component can now be crafted in the Beam school.
  • The active assignments, completed assignments, and assignment log tabs in the Duty Officer UI have been updated.
    • The duty officer selection for assignments shows the officer's traits.
  • Adding short descriptions to Materials and Components to tell more easily which is which.
  • Adding the ability for a user to run the same assignment multiple times concurrently.
  • Resolved an issue where many R+D Schematics required an extra Targeting Interface and Focusing Lens to create.
  • Resolved several issues where Component Schematics used the wrong display name, indicating they would create one thing and actually creating another.
  • Corrected an issue where Isolinear Chip components were not possible to create.
  • Harvest Material Conversion no longer uses a Lobi Crystal icon when viewed in player’s Powers List.
  • Harvest Node FX has been updated.

  • The Secondary firing mode on Counter-Command Bio-Molecular Rifles will no longer detonate multiple times if line-of-sight is broken during the firing cycle.
  • The Ionized Particle Beam can now be equipped on the Mirror Universe Mogai Warbird.
  • Orion Females now include aspects of the Required Trait previously known as "Seductive".
    • The benefits provided by this power are now a permanent part of Orion Females, and is included in the Species basic description to reflect this.
  • Weapons Malfunction will only apply Malfunction Resistance if the target did not already have Resistance at the time of application.
• Kit Modules:
  • Resolved a number of level discrepancies showing up on Fabrication Modules of all ranks.
    • They now summon turrets/drones of the correct levels, and all tooltips are now accurately reflecting those levels.

I really like the new and improved "crafting items as reward for replays/missions/events" thing ...

Should make crafting more fun.

I also like how my orion captain's seductive trait will be fixxed proper again ...

On a sidenote .. please take a look at all the clicking and sliding that is involved in fleet projects , like the 8000 provisions and shields required ... its very straining to buy and fill such projects
Thnx.

The reward for elite queue'd items ... does that mean we will get different crafting parts from the borg stfs as we would get from the crystal or tholian ones ??

Is it possible to get to lvl 20 without paying dilithium ? (like, dili is used to speed up)

Can all components/catalyst/items we can craft, be traded on the exchange ?

salacnar070890

Woohoo Old Fleet uniform now Standard Uniform also when can we start converting old samples in bulk

odyssey47

Please add the Odyssey uniform to the foundry tailor for custom npcs!

oracle54

Can we get the rest of the Ody/Bort Uniforms, while we're at it?

raptor63549

Great news on the uniforms.

I see crafting seems more or less housekeeping, though. Can we actually get catalysts on tribble, because I want to test those out.

EDIT : misread patchnotes.

While I appreciate this change a lot, and it makes a lot of sense to have the "official" uniform available from start, any news on a Romulan fleet uniform ?

Can KDF officers get standard boots that don't have blades sticking out of them? The blades may fit the Klingon image, but they don't really fit some of the other species in the KDF.

Is a harvest node the same thing as the old scannable anomalies?

coldsnapped wrote: »

I assume this applies only to crafting assignments and not to doff assignments.

I suspect that's what the new fleet uniform purchase will unlock. We shall see.

I noticed in the latest CaptainGeko interview that there will be a special item that higher-level crafters could send to others in order to modify bound equipment. Why not give the higher-level crafter the direct ability to modify their item themselves?

The UI would be similar to a trade window, where both players could see everything going on. Player A drops the bound item into the UI and any funds Player B is charging him or her. Player B, who has the relevant R&D school at level 20 drops the materials, assigns the DOFF(s), and kicks the project off. Both players can check on the progress of the item, and when finished, Player A can complete the project and receive the item, while Player B can claim the reward monies that was dropped in by Player A.

This, I want to know this, I didn't see it in the patch notes so I'd imagine it is not available yet, but there is also the possibility of devs forgetting about it...


Is it possible now?

Can we bulk convert all materials or is there a new slider or do we still need to do one by one...

New items in crafting:

ARC Dual Heavy cannons. -I can see why these would sell.

ARC non-AP beam turrets. - Maybe limited to 1 only? Or why don't they have AP?

Particle Emission Plasma torpedo - No idea what this does, apart from being a torp.

Conductive RCS console - Sounds like engineering console.

Exotic particle field exciter - Sounds like science console.

TR-116 B rifle - Ooooh fun, with a ShieldpenX4 modifier.


These got chances of Ultra rare or Very rare.

You have just made me very happy.

varzec

With this change will Romulan Allied Captains have the option of wearing the Oddy Uniform?

darknessmuta

I hope with the addition of the Odyssey uniform as the new standard, that means the belt has been added too.

• Currently, the costume is not available for Tactical Bridge Officers.

Also female Bridge Officers of any profession.

They are craftable items. I do not have high enough skill on tribble to make them, and they require purple materials, that you can't obtain yet in game.

Quite surprised to see that WM behavior addressed. This will make the ability better. Thank you.

tpalelena

I do wonder why there is no AP Omni directional beam array.

Perhaps the craftable ones are 1 per character too? Or you'll be able to get more APs than 1 from the FE ?

tuskin67

Yes! We finally have the Odyssey Belt!

Still no dual admiral pips for Female Characters

probably because the AP version is already a reward choice from sphere of influence

But is that not an item you can only get once? Not like...3-4 times for example?

EDIT: The AP one is "You can only equip 1 of this item" . Would that be changed?

legendarylycan

tpalelena wrote: »

yes, it's limited to 1 because it's part of a set...it's also got the damage of a normal beam array despite having the firing arc of a turret

be interesting to see if the other versions will as well

oracle54

The Ody belt clips pretty badly on male characters with wider hips
And the Bort uniform is doing that linked colors thing where changing a color on one part changes all of them.

Both the [Arc] beam arrays and the [Arc] DHCs say "Cannot equip more than 1 of this item". The missing antiproton beam array sounds like a bug. Yes, you can get one from the mission "Sphere of Influence", but that one is scaling and very rare. The crafting system seems to allow you create ultra rare omni-directional beam arrays of any Mk.

Soon, we just got the tech for it yesterday I think.

commodoreshrvk

Here is a bug with Today's patch, well two:

All DOFF missions that were complete were duplicated in my assignments tab and it says I have three left while the tab is empty

The collect rewards button on that tab is not functional. I have to View the mission first, then collect rewards on the second screen.

adverbero

Is this for real , Free Oddy for my alts and a new uniform too ? ( I bought it a while back)

Any chance these changes to the Bortesqu’ include the missing parts we've been wanted for ages now is there?
( After loading up Tribble, Thank you many many times who ever added the shoulders and collar! these have been on my wishlist for a long time now)
