    • Resolved an issue that prevented support team from spawning while fighting Romulan officer group on the rooftop, for KDF captains.
    • Resolved an issue that could cause Hakeev to get stuck while running to the center of the promenade to call for reinforcements, which then caused him not to trigger a cutscene and thereby stopped progression.
    • Resolved an issue that could cause "Call for Support" button to keep appearing for KDF captains during ground fight against Hakeev, even after calling for support.
    • Added a bouncing arrow to the Romulan officer with the access chip so it's easier to find after defeating the Romulan squad on the roof.

    • Piercing Tetryon Turrets no longer become Dual Cannons when upgraded.
  • Corrected a text error in the Elite Special Task Force Completion project.

    Could you please also fix the calistos? ;) would really be nice if they could keep up with your ship like other frigates ( for example the xindi ones have no problems there)
    Dont know but maybe it would allready enough to give em hyper Impulse engines at least when we tested em it looked like they had just so much slower engines

    It seems Cryptic software development works like software development at my work place - during the holiday season, when most of the team are not working, the remaining people get the opportunity to work on the small bugfixes and nagging things that couldn't be taken care off before because of the big features that were prioritized for the rest of the year.

    Cutting the Cord:
    .........
    Resolved an issue that prevented support team from spawning while fighting Romulan officer group on the rooftop, for KDF captains.
    .........
    Resolved an issue that could cause "Call for Support" button to keep appearing for KDF captains during ground fight against Hakeev, even after calling for support.

    Heyyyyy, I mentioned both of those in my thread from October 2013 http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline#/discussion/1133413/cutting-the-cord-bug

    You guys fixed it faster than I was expecting. :D

    Lots of nice fixes, and thanks for listening to feedback relating to the Phaser Quad Cannons being made part of the ship set, and giving it a battle cloak set bonus. :grin: I haven't purchased the T6 Defiant/B'rel/T'Varo pack yet but will some day. (I haven't really been playing much lately). :)

    Some nice fixes in there, but personally for the smaller fleets and those toons without masses of fleet credits the addition of fleet marks to the daily bonuses is one of the best changes so thanks to the devs for making that happen.

    And now you made every kdf and quite possibly a lot of romulan players in your game quit playing.

    Why? There's no PvP since forever and if now everybody has a battle cloak in teamed STFs or single player really doesn't amtter any more.​​

    Query in two parts; so a Dreadnought Cruiser equipped with the Phaser Quad Cannons and a Cloaking Device would also have access to the 'Stealth Fighter' 2-piece set bonus "Overcloaked", would it not, same as a Tactical Escort (Refit/Retrofit/T6) would since they can each equip both items?
    Would that mean that a Dreadnought Cruiser with a Cloaking Device, Phaser Quad Cannons and Supplemental Subsystems would have access to both the "Starfleet Maneuering Protocol" 2-piece bonus and the "Overcloaked" 2-piece bonus with the Cloaking Device pulling, for lack of a better term, double-duty for both sets?

    Overcloaked is TRIBBLE without a Battle Cloak anyway.

    Unless I'm mistaken, cloak on defiant is now completely broke. I've put the cloak on without the other two pieces and can't find the power anywhere. Also tried with all three pieces.

    Also, in answer to KDF and Rom being upset by fed having battle cloak, it's at the cost of two consoles and a weapon which in turn basically forces you to use phaser. I don't see many people being upset by this.

    Have you tried changing maps? That should fix the issue with the cloak console.

    When I changed maps the cloak showed up on my ship. But I had to change space maps, as just beaming up did not make the cloak show. Hope that helps.

    Nope, it requires all THREE pieces, the Quad Cannon, the Cloaking Device, and the Defiant only Quantum Warhead Module, which limits only the Defiant class escorts to having battle cloak, a caveat I am fine with.

    Um... I wasn't asking about the three-piece "Battle Cloak" bonus, just if the two-piece "Overcloaked" bonus would work on other ships like the Dreadnought Cruiser and Battlecruiser that could equip both the Quad-Cannons and Cloaking Device...
