    As a result of adding new Specializations, will there be a free "respec" of the points already spent?

    UH OH...

    They have upped the Specialization Points needed for EACH option.

    It takes TWO points to get ONE Specialization Option now.

    It has taken me a week to get one point... that's one heck of a time gate!!

    Another Nerf Bites Our Butts!

    :eek:

    No it doesn't. it only costs one point.

    Why is the character copy feature broken?

    If you're finding this, it's incorrect. Each Specialization node should still only cost a single point.

    Good:

    Secondary Deflectors, finally !

    Un-/Select all button for donating Doffs !

    +4 new missions



    Bad:

    -11 old missions
    The 11 removed missions weren't really consistent with the overall story in that part of the game. I don't mind that they were removed.

    I am not clear here

    As I understand it I have to earn 20 specialization points to train my bridge officers ?

    That's 3 million xps that's 300 argala runs just to train my bridge officers ?

    And this is per character right ? not account wide

    If this is true I guess we can just forget our alt characters
    Jellico....Engineer ground.....Da'val Romulan space Sci
    Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
    Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng

    JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse

    Now everyone can call me a fan boy or a white knight, but I really want to say thank you to the team. It seems that especially this time the game mechanic guys and girls? did some overtime.

    Thanks Borticus and the teams.

    1) It's only 10 points, not 20.
    2) The Manual used to add a Specialization to a Boff can be traded to other characters on your account. To anyone, actually. They are not Bind-on-Pickup.

    NOTE: Bridge Officers currently cannot learn a Specialization until their commanding officer (the player) is level 50.

    Something I am not seeing anywhere (Bridge Officer Trainer, or the new Training Manuals), how do we train our Boff's in Beam Overload 3 and Torp Spread 3? These seem to be missing?

    That is a lot of missions going away! Hmm, and all Fed only missions? I assume the new missions are Fed only like the ones they are replacing... I am looking forward to giving them a try.

    Each PADD to create a Manual costs 500 dilithium and takes four hours...

    I guess it could have been worse.

    Please move the removed missions over to the Foundry , if possible along with any other single or multi player missions that have been removed in the past .

    Judging from these notes, mixed feelings.

    I like the Secondary Deflectors. I think I'll like the revamped missions.
    I'll miss some of the older missions. Especially Saturday's Child, for the awesome BURN BABY BURN BABY BURN accolade.

    Looking forward to testing all of this.

    This times 199693048975383859236479362197356517965795479549758517. Although, I think that the Foundry is an extremely simplified version of the development tools, so not sure this works. In that case, let them be on Tribble for people to recreate. Or let them in the game, but out of the story arc (thinking a Traelus System kind of mission here).

    None of my Science Ships I'm currently using on TRIBBLE have the Secondary Deflector Slot...

    Do I have to dismiss them to get the slots?

    I was expecting 500 Dil based on some of the things said, the 500/4000 that already exist...I never paid attention to the time on the 500 Dil craft though...but uh, 4 hours for a PADD? Wow...hrmm, well then.

    Still patching away...wheeee...I guess.

    Can you queue more than one padd at a time? does it take time/resources to create a manual after making the padd? can blank padds be sold in the exchange?

    (Can't copy characters to tribble, the webpage is broken)

    Yes, just like any other component. The same rules apply

    Just did some quick Tribble testing:

    Bridge Officers are bugged like hell. Half the skills they had on Holodeck, are either missing, or can't be re-slotted. I even crafted a new PADD, and "built" the skill I wanted. But I can't bloody use it on my officer, to "train" it.

    Put me down for thinking 4 hours to craft a padd is ridiculous. Also, how do we get skills like torpedo spread 3 and cannon scatter volley 3 that used to be obtainable from consuming boffs?

    About time Divide et Impera was removed. It has to be the worst Starfleet mission ever by making our characters into gullible patsies by making us kill Romulans in a research facility dedicated towards peaceful research. Our Captains should have been court-martialed and forced to become a dilithium miner for being that gullible. It is just too bad that some of the decent Romulan Mystery missions are being removed, but it is a small price to pay for removing Divide et Impera.

    Lots of players will be happy about the fix to the Defera City Hard mission.

    Hmm, nice that Secondary deflectors are finally getting close. Nice that a number of fixes made their way in.

    Not nice another dozen episodes bite the dust supposedly to 'improve overall quality of the game' (I just find removing wrong, that's all). Also not nice training boffs will now carry a dil tax.
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    This game is becoming more crud everyday. First they give us next to no story missions for Delta and more patrol, now they are taking out Romulan missions. IS this game going to be nothing but patrol missions????

    I rather think they remove them for a complete overhaul. Didnt they do something like this last year with a few missions too?

    Under investigation.

    I also haven't been able to transfer any of my characters to Tribble for quite some time now. I even (perhaps foolishly) tried deleting all of my characters on Tribble to see if that would let new ones transfer over. No dice; it just keeps taking me to the character creation screen.

    Since you're updating BOFFs, I hope there's a BOFF genetic resequencer update sometime soon. It would be nice to have the species you want with some cool space traits.
