    Dang, i was hoping that the contraband change was merely an experiment on tribble and that it would be cancelled before it went live on the holodeck.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Pitchforks! Get your pitchforks here!

    Oh, and buy our special blend of Contraband-flavored popcorn! Popped fresh, every 20 hours!

    KDF Contraband farmers are just gonna love that new cooldown.

    Seriously though, lots of good fixes for this patch.

    Yay, nice to see so many fixes inbound! Shame about the contraband, but it was bound to happen sometime.

    I have to say, this made me giggle:
    Resolved an issue where Personal Covariant Shields were turning into Sniper Rifles when they were upgraded.

    Why can't we respect the shield's choice to become a sniper rifle? What kind of world are we living in where we only allow it to grow up to become one thing? :tongue:    ​​

    Players will once again dance when a Party Bomb is deployed.

    Aww, it was better when it was broken. :p

    Also, could we PLEASE get the Romulan boff doff missions fixed. It's been going on WAY too long and it's getting a little ridiculous at this point.

    Wow, really 20hr cd for Contra? Not cool. Just shows you're trying to control the inflow of Ore once again and in the background, control the EC value. Don't give me the speech of "You have plenty of opportunities to go earn it PVEs, Fleet stuff and blah blah blah." Keep your fingers out of it.

    Against the Borg, they may as well have nerfed the damage....

    Resolved a miner art issue on the back of the Female Intel Upper.

    I didn't notice any miner art. Maybe they added a mining laser to the jacket somewhere down the line.

    Didn't see the klingon cranial ridge jewelry mentioned in the patchnotes, either.​​

    I agree. I'm just waiting for someone to come up with a doff mission for selling contraband on the streets outside the Academy. :tongue:

    The one I'm curious about is:
    New Woven Hair option is available for the following female species

    Is that anything like a Hair Weave, and, if so, why not make it available to male characters as well? I'd love to see my 23c Character with the T.J. Hooker look.

    Long list of fixes :smile: Much appreciated!

    + thanks for patching up the intel upper ... literally ^^

    As for contraband farmers (for example accounts with 40+ alt characters dedicated to this task alone) -- well, guess they have time on their hands now to actually play the game :smile:

    That's a long list of fixes. I really appreciate this one "Resolved an issue where ships were turning randomly when interacting in space maps."

    That was getting annoying.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.

    I'm looking forward to the additions to the TOS Klingon uniform. Hopefully the female variant is part of it for my Orion.

    So... where's our Forum Overlord Trendy?

    I'm one of those "it doesn't affect me since I do it once a day anyway" type of people.

    With my 15 old characters and my new 23c character (who is level 60 already), I'm getting just under 90k refined dilithium per day across my account from just starting doff and admirality assignments once a day on my alts.
    The correct 23rd Century costume pieces unlock upon completing The Battle of Caleb IV including:

    TOS Gorn Head
    TOS Klingon Head
    TOS Klingon costumes
    TOS Tellarite Head
    TOS Andorian head
    TOS Tellarite costume

    NICE! Finally, proper ToS Klingon costumes (females included) AND we can finally get a no-ridge head option to make them look proper. And to top it off, all of these are FREE unlocks!

    BEST EXPANSION EVER! In my opinion. Legacy of Romulus and Delta Rising were pretty great though.

    Also
    New Woven Hair option is available for the following species....
    It's Yeoman Rand's hairstyle from the original series http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Janice_Rand?file=James_Kirk_embraces_Janice_Rand.jpg

    For my Temporal toon, yes. My main sci has so many damage sources it's not even funny. Neutronic radiation, cold fusion flash, Herald lobi staff, overcharge turret, and TR-116B. And that's just the lot that I remember.

    Lots of great stuff in this patch. Can't wait to have a look at all those costumes and fix up the ranks on my new crews. The only negative I see here is Tarsi. She was a high utility BOff with welcome traits for space and ground; An ever present present member of my crew in both circumstances. The Intel faction BOffs don't have garbage racial traits (excepting Gorn and Trill) either; Why pick on her?

    Resolved an issue that was causing Tarsi and Skavrin to have incorrect racial Traits that their species does not have access to:
    Is this retroactive or would ones we already got have old traits?

    They might as well just remove the contraband dili reward then, 20hr seems a bit overkill. Or just remove the Security Officers on ESD/Kronos and the Fleet Bases from the game, they deserve a vacation right? =.=
