Patch notes can be found here, and we expect this maintenance to last for 2.5 hours.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,

Thank you for the Foundry updates!

It's disappointing to me to see so many fixes to costume stuff when I've reported my Chase camera setting breaking at high speed multiple times across multiple media forms and it hasn't been fixed.
There are many others who have this same problem and it's been reported to Cryptic QA hologram on Twitter, in the Bug Report sub-forum etc and nothing's been done. Please fix this issue. When most or all avail. speed buffs are active the "chase" camera setting breaks and the camera rotates on it's axis back and forth repeatedly and rapidly.

I would really appreciate some attention to this near-game breaking bug.

Chase camera setting? I didn't know that there was such a bug.

Omega Force set: Federation Aligned Female Romulans can now equip the Hips attach armor known as "Harvester, Reaper, and Quietus".

Are the Reaper and Quietus costume options available somehow? I found a thread with some screenshots showing the Omega Reaper costume (along with MACO Tactical and another Honor Guard variant) but from what I understand these were only available at one point due to a glitch/oversight on Tribble before the Legacy of Romulus launch.

What about fixing BUG, where stuff get stucked on DIL exhange . Like for example 9991 ZENS and its there for a month. And noone give a damn ?

This has been going on since the game launched. It happens to me every now and then. Sometimes the camera changes to free and other times it does the rubber-banding thing. Just click and drag on the screen and its fixed. It's not game breaking and I would like to see it fixed too but I'm still happy to see all the improvements.

General:

• The Research and Development Pack has been updated to include 4 random Upgrade Accelerators in addition to its prior contents.
• Resolved an issue which was causing numerous issues with beaming down to ground maps while teamed involving bridge officers.
• Other player’s loot drops are now hidden on Invasion Zones such as Nukara Prime.
• Resolved numerous issues with clipping issues in the Species List, Face, and Hair selectors of the character creator.
• Omega Force set: Federation Aligned Female Romulans can now equip the Hips attach armor known as "Harvester, Reaper, and Quietus".
• Miner Shirts:
  • The Miner Shirt for male characters no longer appears without a chest when set to "Off Duty".
  • All Miner Shirts are now available under "Jacket Tight" and "Jacket Loose".
    • Both under "Uniform" and "Off Duty".
• Male Romulan Aliengen’s eye colors no longer change when choosing a faction.
• Resolved an issue which was causing Klingon Honor Guard Arm Attach Left and Arm Attach Right to not appear for players who were Romulan or Reman.
• Klingon aligned Borg Liberated Reman Bridge Officers can now equip the Klingon Faction Reman Uppers.
• Female Romulan characters now have access to the New Styled Elegant hairstyle.
• Increased the range of allowed heights for female Romulan Aliens.

Systems:

• Powers
  • Captains must now be moving to benefit from the Dodge bonus granted by Sprint.
  • All Weapon Remodulators can no longer be accidentally interrupted by the player performing other actions while it is being activated.
  • Resolved an issue that was causing several Kit Abilities to have their chance to Expose cut in half, as if they were a Weapon Primary Attack.
  • Ambush Doffs that apply DOTs can no longer be triggered by DOT affects themselves.
  • The Psionic Assault debuff can now be cleansed.
  • Frosted Boots:
    • Removed the delay that prevents this device from being disabled for 1 second after being activated.
    • This may have been causing the device to get stuck in an "on" state in certain edge cases.
  • Resolved an issue that was preventing the 3 piece Dyson Console set bonus, Proton Energy Matrix, from correctly applying its cooldown reduction to the associated Console abilities.
  • 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.
  • Updated photonic life forms so that they are immune to respirated gases and vacuums.
    • 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.
    • This conversion process will make these items slightly better, but they will no longer automatically scale with your level as you progress.
    • Once an item is converted in this manner it cannot be used by characters below level 50.
  • The following items have been removed from the Lobi Store:
    • Jem'Hadar Space Set - Dominion Circuitry
    • Jem'Hadar Ground Set - Shrouded Nanofibers
    • Jem'Hadar Pistol - Upgraded Firing Mechanism
    • The items previously upgraded via these packs can now be improved via the Upgrade System
  • Added a Jem'Hadar Armor costume pack to the Lobi Store, costumes tab.
    • 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.

Some nice fixes and gear updates in anticipation of the Upgrade system, but shouldn't you be leaving the Jem'Hadar upgrade items in place until the Jem'Hadar set stats need to be fixed... have been fixed? We've seen a few screenshots of odd stats from that set in the Tribble threads... or does this patch also include fixes for that issue? Actually, now that I think about it having it on Holodeck gives you a larger sample size for figuring out what's happening with it now that Tribble is Gold-locked.

Foundry:

• Addition of a number of new Foundry Objects:
  • New Romulus Trees, Plants, Rocks, Waterfalls, Ruins, Props and various other details from New Romulus.
    • Glass Walls/Floors:
      • Federation ESD, Romulan Embassy,and Klingon Starbase.
  • Specialty Volumes:
    • Low Gravity, Floater, EV Suit Required
  • Invisible Floors to match up with the Invisible Walls that are already available.
  • Benches from Earth Spacedock, both Sittable and Non-Sittable versions, and their respective cushions.

Awesome. Wait, did I read that correctly... a "Floater" Specialty Volume!?! That could make for some amazing missions if we can use Floaters there. Authors, please include that feature in your Mission text so we can find them.

UI:

• Moved the Sort button in the inventory next to the Replicator button.
• Rank Rewards UI Window:
  • Added "R&D System unlocked" at level 15.
  • Removed references to Exploration Clusters.
• The Finish Now button in R&D will now tell the player if they do not have enough Dilithium.

Doesn't the fact that it's grey and can't be used indicate that you don't have enough Dilithium? Now if you added a confirmation button, then I'd be able to stop storing Dilithium on the Dil Exchange to prevent misclicks... otherwise... okay, sure.

That is no bug, as far as I can tell. Remember that if your offer is higher or lower than what is going at the current rate, you're not going to get your zen.

Not a bad patch. Should be fun to play some of kirkfat's missions when he updates them to require EV suits.

Trendy, I'm now officially a pig hog farmer. Come on down to the ranch and get yer bacon on gal.

This is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for. I made sure I had those beam weapons in my databanks ready for moar power mrscott or we're all dead! YeowWeeeeee!

Maybe it's because you spelled HOUSE incorrectly? :rolleyes:

I'm glad to see these fixes and new additions to the game.

You can pull them ( the MACO, HG, and Omega variants) up in the foundry but I don't know how to get them for your character on holodeck. Maybe something changed with Delta Rising.

Wasn't expecting foundry updates before delta rising. Thanks!

EV suits? I'm curious to see what he comes up with that requires floaters!

Yeah, that'll be awesome, too.

Hey, Kirkfat! Give us something that requires us to use EV suits and floaters while shooting bad guys! Or just the EV suits and floaters, that's fine too.

I love the Foundry sooooooo much...

jarenriccar

Hey, just thought i'd toss this out here, i've been working on a mission that has totally stalled out on the foundry from lack of ships, i'm needing an Ambassador and an Odyssey Class. is there any particular reason these two ships were never added to the foundry?

As a customizable costume or as a premade NPC costume?

They're actually available in the costume tab, though personally I wish they would make them available as general NPC contacts too.

Interesting, but I was actually referring to German rather than Japanese... no "u" at the end of the "haus" you originally commented on. It makes sense that English and German sound similar (English being a Germanic language and all), but the Japanese "hausu" you referenced surprised me. Very interesting.

Dont try to teach someone german here! I tried very hard but my student failed me.

robdmc

It would be interesting to see if you can require an ev suit and a floater at the same time. Asteroid hopping.

morchades

Wow, that's quite a list of updates.

Since you did work on some of the hairstyle and costume stuff, I was wondering if you were going to make the male Romulan hairstyles like swoop available to other factions. How about long wavy and Gothic, which are currently only available to Romulan female characters?

tarastheslayer

I just can't believe they're pushing the system out in the state it is in, it isn't ready! Still a load of items that either can't be upgraded or have bugged upgrades and yet they're releasing this a good 2-3 weeks before it needed to be ready.

And this is news why? lol, tell us something we dont know already...

Btw, no any news about efforts being directed to the loadout system, try bugs and IMPORTANT things like these. Thanks, again.

And the doff system still making us waiting 2-3 minutes everytime we login... serioulsy?? is this game-breaking thing going to stay as it is now forever?? .

worffan101

And here we go.............

Prepare for the DOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!! DDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM cometh!!!!!

Only Bacon can save us! Hail bacon!



ON a more serious note, I really want to see Kirkfat change that mission with the bit on the evacuated ship to absolutely require an EV suit on that one map. I love kirkfat's missions.

Maintenance has begun. I will post again in around 2.5 hours once maintenance has completed.
