For the next three weeks, from now until Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 10AM PDT, max-level Federation, Klingon, and Romulan Republic players can queue up for our 10-captain “Crystalline Cataclysm” event to defeat the Crystalline Entity and earn some awesome rewards in the process! Read more about it here in our overview blog.

    Oh, neat. I still have a character with an open project from the first time it was around, and never finished it on any chars. Wasn't a time I played much STO.

    Is it really asked too much from you guys giving us a Romulan doff? Some people actually care. :(

    I love this event but one day, one day I honestly hope they will give us a rom doff for us dedicated Romulan Republic officers. Ether way though thanks for bringing the event back.
    Space is vast, it's wonderful and maddening. Yet in that madness is some of the greatest beauty I have ever seen.

    Lastly, stay on alert, Captains! Recent intelligence reports reveal that there are a few new tactics the Entity and its allies are using during this event to thwart your attempts of destroying them.

    So far it seems like the same as last time...

    Nice, this event is always fun on ten toons.

    Although the accrued 500k dilithium goes a long way to soothing nerves.

    Uhm.....just an assumption on my behalf here, but maybe it works both-ways? Maybe it does both depending on which skill you use?

    Just a bit of an OP doff if it does do both....

    - Stack with other doffs which cut emergency power ability recharge times?
    - Duration of EMtE last for 30 seconds
    - The CONSTANT ability to cycle between the two powers.

    See where i'm going here...?

    It has different effect listed on both, one is a cooldown reduction, the other is a cooldown elimination. Not what you usually see in a mistake.

    I love the doff, don't know if I'lll have room for him on my build. How much does the doff Reduce Evasive Menuvers by? I see this helping alot with getting those pesky bugs into the crosshairs of Engineering and Science ships. Its not to often we get a doff that is really good. I think this one may fall into that catagory. Better than Hakeev.

    I have some suggestions for the next time this is run:
    • Sponsorship - one character completes the reward, reduces the cost for others
    • Ability to earn previous rewards - crystalline shard pet, Maria Kilara Marr duty officer

    The doff seems awesome for my corvette and T'varo. Looking forward to trying it. I assume he does what he says. His description makes sense to me anyway.

    Maybe for the doff. They are not going to fast track your alt getting 50k in dil.

    When the one attempt at a Romulan unique reward gets shoved under a rug? :mad: It'd be more futile than cavemen putting up resistance against the borg :D

    I don't have it in me to do this again. I have no clue how many times I did CE, no need for a gazillion more times. :(

    Now its a recurring event you no longer need to do it a gazillion times, just do it and slot the project and nibble at it during its next occurrences.

    Not noticed any new tactics the event seems as simple as always. Fly up to around4km, park up and shoot with autofire. By far the easiest and most simple of all the events.

    If this is an attempt to test a "nightmare scenario" CE, it's a step in the right direction. The GWs and TR's with mirror ships and sensor debuff are all great additions.

    The doff on the other hand......

    Let's see how it could go wrong? (Since I don't think you guys gave it serious thought)

    Aux2bat ship with technicians + This doff + Helmsman trait + EPtE

    3 DCEs + This doff + Helmsman trait + EPtE

    In two weeks, we can all add evasive maneuvers to the spacebar.

    No it doesn't. It resets Evasive Manoeuvres only.
