    The blog says the special reward for completing the project is still the Emergency Conn Hologram like it was last time, not the torpedo at the bottom like I'm assuming its supposed to. Just wanted to give you a heads-up :)

    I'm confused on the Unique Prize...the blog says Very Rare Emergency Conn Hologram Duty Officer but the Image shows a Torpedo...

    I think that you get the Conn Hologram plus the torpedo.

    Has a 20hr timer been added yet?
    Have you tried the new forum on your phone?

    Apparently (I've just been informed) there was a bug when this ran last time, by where if the previous team failed to complete the mission, the following team weren't provided with the rewards upon their completion.

    Would I be correct to assume that this has been fixed for the returning event?

    That torp makes my romulan very happy! Going to be some massive numbers with that!
    I wonder, do torp consoles not effect them or things like adapted maco? Only ap tac consoles?

    Well this should be good, considering my game is crashing to desktop when I play CCA...

    Edit: Also, copy/paste blog fail.

    No, they just never proofread this blog before putting it up. They did the same thing the last time it reran.

    Will there be an account wide unlock for the torpedo just like for the anniversary ship? So you don't have to grind it on several toons?

    Really nice torp btw!

    Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to play this one due to random game crashes.

    I would assume you just get the torpedo and the conn officer is just left in there from the text from last time's blog post.


    Question re: the torpedo. It does AP damage and takes boosts from AP consoles but it says it's also boosted by projectile weapons training SO: does this take boosts from consoles that boost torpedoes (i.e. kinetic damage) and will it function with the Command specialization's torpedo expose (which debuffs kinetic resist)? Or do we look at this as basically a low DPS AP weapon that takes torpedo Boff skills? Because if it's that last one I'm not sure what we gain from a weapon that just does AP spike beyond just a weapon that looks pretty cool when you fire it.

    Edit: guess I should also ask what kind of HY it gets: barrage, destructible, or single big untargetable like the biomolecular one.

    I'm having a nightmare.

    A torpedo enhanced by +AP tactical consoles. It has to be a nightmare.

    Doubtful, there hasn't been an account wide reduction for any of the other events of this nature.

    This x1000.

    Obviously they couldn't give an account wide discount for the 50k dil/marks, etc. But a special project for the item on alts would be most appreciated.

    No it's not. It can't be.

    6630 base if you equip 5 tactical +AP consoles. Not counting CrtD rates.

    It's not happening.

    Hey ya'll!

    I double checked with the team regarding the text about the boff - unless it's already slotted, it shouldn't be available this time around. Sorry about the confusion with that.

    It could be worst if it is affected like energy weapons by the lvl of the weapon power sub-system.

    Worse? It's higher than Neutronic, and we're speaking of a MK XIII rare torpedo, which won't have any drawback for equipping only energy consoles.

    look at the silver lining... most energy only folks didnt spend in skill points into torps.

    only class i have with any skill points in torps is sci... and only 6 ranks at that.

    TY Trendy.

    Totally understand why this isn't an account wide type of reward. 14 runs isn't hard in 3 weeks ;)

    One torp to rule them all. The must have item for any antiproton damage junkie.

    My poor kdf wanted to get some game on today, so I loaded CE advanced, I warped in, we killed entity and no reward (probably as I wasnt there from beginning). When I tried later on - few times, the map was empty..
