  • The Psionic Assault debuff can now be cleansed.

  • Phased Biomatter Cannon items now display the correct Cannon icon instead of using that of a Beam Array
  • Resolved an issue causing Emergency Conn Hologram duty officers to reset the cooldown on Impulse Capacitance Cell.

    • They can still be affected by super-hot or corrosive environments, such as Nukara or the surface of a star, without special protection.
• Levelless C-store ship consoles are now considered Epic (gold) quality.
  • This is a display change only, no functionality is changed.
  • This does not apply to weapons.
• Lobi Store:
  • All Lobi Store Ground Equipment has been updated to be more uniform in design:
    • None can be sold to vendors.
    • None have an EC value.
    • None are Unique but players may purchase additional weapons for Bridge Crew.
    • All are now Purple quality.
      • Weapons may have gained one or two additional [Dmg], [CrtH] or [CrtD] mods in order to bring them up to Purple quality levels.
      • Some weapons have benefited from this conversion more than others.
  • All leveless Lobi Store Ground and Space Equipment will now stop scaling once the player reaches level 50.
    • All Lobi Store Space and Ground Equipment can now be converted into Mk XII for free, once the player is level 50.
    • This conversion will happen automatically by choosing to Upgrade the item.
    • Players do not need to use a Tech Upgrade or spend Dilithium, unless players want to attempt to Upgrade it higher than Mk XII.

  • The following items have been removed from the Lobi Store:
    • Jem'Hadar Space Set - Dominion Circuitry

    • The items previously upgraded via these packs can now be improved via the Upgrade System

    • This item was added because the Upgrade Pack previously sold will no longer be available.
    • Captains that already have attained this costume via the old means, this Costume Unlock does not contain any new visual unlocks, so does not need to be purchased.
• Updated retrofit phaser banks from the Constitution-class ship or mission reward from "Everything Old is New" so that they no longer are different based on fore or aft mounting.
  • They can be placed in either forward or aft slots with no difference.
  • Text has been updated to reflect this.
  • As seen in the remastered TOS episodes, beams mounted aft fire a pair of beams just like the forward ones, but the weapon is still considered a standard 250-degree phaser beam array.
