woah wait what
That will go over well!
And they're available to Intel BOFFs too, right? And any Captain who levels the Intel specialization?

Never really gave that good of stuff so....
I gotta clean up myself after reading that...
Awesome news! Yes cryptic. Thank you.
Cycling the Nebula consoles every minute, a cloaker's worst nightmare.
The greatest balance in MMOs tend to cause lots of drama.

I would assume so since so much work was put into the IOff's abilities in this patch, but before this patch, I had no control over their Ground Intelligence Abilities, but the combat log clearly showed they were using them, and yet these patch notes do not state that as having been changed at all.
They're not beside their lifebar things, they can't be slotted into the Powers Tray, but they can decide when to use them, and on whom?
I get that they're INTELLIGENCE Officers, but if they're going to be on my Admiral's team, and go where he says, and behave how he says, why shouldn't my Admiral be able to give them other orders such as "Hit this thing with the EMP"?
I'm lost...HOW does that make sense?
So you can "schedule" time to give the Feddies a BoP, yet still can't manage to get a Fleet Guramba out or fleet versions of the other Gorn sci ships? Or is that "soon" or "nearly done" (which seems to mean sometime between never and the end of time?
Hmm, these sound interesting
Agreed. Should be:
Normal: 480 Dilithium
Advanced: 960 Dilithium (same as current Elite on Holodeck)
Elite: 1440 Dilithium (old Elite amount)
Not sure why they chose to remove the random item reward. After the massive nerf to EC values, the EC income generation has taken a considerable nosedive anyways.
Yaaaaaaaay!
Uniform wise, I would like to see the Odyssey changes taken a step further. All available rank pins and badges should be usable on any uniform. Could this be implemented, please? I would really like to use the Wells Uniform rank pins on other uniforms and the same goes for the TWoK as they would look really nice on the revised TWoK looking uniform.
The changes to the Vesta are definitely welcome. Thank you!

No, working "as intended". . . You know, less for more.
Mostly we just end up editing the notes that the designers write.
(But even that can sometimes cause a headache.)
Sell the R&D Packs. They go for a ton more than whatever low value item it typically gives.
Page #2, Message #11.
Um... did you just remove all space traits from every BOff, or is this a fix for some bug I never heard about?
Relying on drops in STFs=bad way to make STF due to terrible RNG luck.
BOFFs aren't supposed to have Starship traits.

Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
Really?
I posted it quite a few posts before a Cryptic Studios Member showed up, and they said nothing about the issue that only I seem to be having while they addressed posts AROUND my post.
Two minute temporal back step!!!!!
Looks like if you want NWS accolades, you'd better do it before DR launches... :P
Also nice hinting at the end, so we get more kim in the future?
