    What about Encoded Data Receivers from Iconian Tier Rep, Temporal Beacons, Tal Shiar Command Codes not being able to be used? This has to be an easy fix!

    Any ETA on the huge reward disparity between episode replays(192 dilithium) and patrol missions(480 dilithium)? Because we were told that rewards were supposed to be based on time, regardless of the type of content, and episode replays reward less for more time.

    Wow, looks like the item bug could continue for over a week, that's slightly unusual for a bug of this magnitude.

    * Lag all around the game still not fixed.
    * Missing items still not returned.
    * Tal shiar command codes, datachips, etc. still unusable
    * Sector space DOFF missions not updating properly is not even a known issue
    * Not working Improved Pedal to the Metal not even a known issue
    * New lockobx Tac,Eng and Sci power not interacting properly with related traits not even a known issue
    * Constant crashing in Zaria system mission not even a known issue
    * R/D Crafting traits including the engineering one not doing anything at all is still not a known issue
    * W to S epic mod on warp cores not doing anything still not even a known issue
    * KDF players do no appear in the scoreboard in PVP EVER SINCE DR is released. Looks like no one even gives a c**p.

    But nice patch, the most important thing is they fixed the camera shake in blood of the ancient. hooray.

    Also nice going nerfing borg alerts.

    I had the same issue with a Tal'shiar command code I got from a lock box but found there is a workaround for such items.

    Open the available skills window ('P' key by default; or click the button on the right edge of skill tray), find your item and drag it to your skill tray, then click it on your skill tray to activate it. This worked for me and I was able to start the doff assignment for the Tal'shiar command code item. If you don't see it in the skills window on a ground map try beaming to your ship and doing it in space. Make sure you don't have an overflow bag button at the bottom of your inventory. If you do then open it and remove all items (if it won't open you'll need to completely shut the game down and relaunch it).

    The most pressing issue is the crashes on loading for many, many people. I have yet to even see this acknowledged.

    Dunno if these are game-wide, I haven't experienced these aside from the Tal Shiar Command Codes.

    I dare you to do better.

    ... lol wut?

    Red Alerts are key part of raising skill at low levels. Is why the 2x skill multiplier even exists.

    And now you are going to lock them out?

    Raising skill on low levels? You can get to lvl 50 on story missions alone, almost all my toons did.

    And that was before I got the LTS.

    you can get there faster if you take the Red Alerts that pop up all the time

    story missions suck the 10th time through

    Resolved an issue where allies would sometimes not help the players.

    Since you're fixing old issues, could it be possible to fix the years old miscategorization of all of the costume parts for the Fleet Scourge Destroyer? The ship customization interface still thinks the Scourge parts belong to the Gorn Draguas, and asks me to pay 1500 zen to use them, making it impossible to customize the ship at all.

      Would it be possible to use that for historical datachips.

      It's interesting when I look at the accolades for the Path to 2409, most of them are just missing. I don't know how that works.

      I broke down what Borg Red Alerts give you now on tribble and on holodeck using Orellius as a baseline:

      The game is currently unplayable with the lag. All other issues need to be dropped and priority set to fixing the lag.

      [...]

      Two issues come to mind.

      1) There are a bunch of accolades associated with the various Borg alerts. Rendering them incompleteable would be ... unfortunate.

      2) I am wary of the cooldown. Does that mean my character cannot enter ANY of the various Borg RAs that used to be around? Can he only not enter the recently completed RA? Can we SEE 'before' using the warp to option on the RA button that we are on cooldown for that RA? Because currently you can only tell which Borg RA it is after you warped there.


      ---snip---

      And my personal opinion: Making it even harder for the average Joe to get decent amounts of specialization experience is the wrong approach.
