    I'm just excited we are getting more to do :)

    Played long enough not to get too bent out of shape over little bugs and stuff being its more than once a year now that we get content unlike other games where you wait a year or two inbetween new content.

    It'll be worth the wait :D

    Edit: I am hoping that the dilithium rewards that are going away are being worked on for season 8 to be put back in. I do see a point to them doing it if there is a reward for something people don't really want to do and being theres going to be rewards for the actual fleet actions/events is the backup for that going away.

    Hopefully everything works out well... Sometimes it might not look good on paper though.

    I hope there is going to be something for KDF leaked soon. Maybe a version of Negh'Var like the fleet vor'cha for instance LOL or possible gorn, orion, nausicaan, and lethean ships too...

    The Vesta does not have it's own bridge.

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    I'm curious, who makes these decisions of which ships come with their own bridge, and which ships don't?

    Lol I've been grinding STF's for the past several hours knowing if I don't get the pieces I need a set will be beyond me for 60 days due to the joke of time-gating on STF's.

    Not quite sure why your comment is relevant, to my overall current excitement of watching my countdown timer tick over during maintenance. :confused:

    A real mixed bag with this update imo. Some very good changes I.e. The ability to change toon without logging out as well as some which I just groaned when I saw them on the patch notes I.e. doffs now cost dilithium as well as the assignment durations going up by a factor or more than 2.

    But I feel I simply must ask two questions ;
    When will we see the UI being updated so it doesn't smash our CPUs so much?

    When will we have a working bug reporter?
    I need a beer.

    BOOO!!!

    Season 7 is like getting a sirloin with loads of bones in it.

    Should just be called the dilithium drain season. Or perhaps just Season $$$
    :eek:

    z-store ships are without special bridge variants, lockbox ships have their own bridge. The Odyssey was an exeption because it's the flagship.

    When changes occur in general, we all fear the unknown elements. Once we actually see what they have done, I think we will all have a better understanding. If these release notes are any indication, the new changes ahead do look both promising an scary. Until we actually get into the game, people's fears will still bubble up to the surface. I get that. I am having similar emotions. Our only way to get certain answers is to play the system.

    Everyone just needs to have patience.

    Season Seven is almost here.

    I think everyone is anxious and nervous at the same time.

    First, what you are saying is that you have more tactical officers than there are projects in which require them? Five tiers of projects that require tactical officers, and you somehow have a surplus that exceeds the system?

    Second, you have a legit point about security duty officer availability; however, we cannot draw any conclusions without seeing if Cryptic upped the input's availability. According to a previous priority one interview, Cryptic did mention that certain input availabilities were increased. We currently do not have that specific information.

    whats with the cyrptic fan boi?

    anyways u both made ur cases and opinions he is entitled to his stop crying like babys

    Yes. Let me give you an example. I ran a project (Practice Tactical Exercises II) that requires 60 tacticals and 60 security department doffs. I bought ~400 fleet tactical doffs with several characters. I got ~20 security department doffs (sometimes, if I am lucky enough I get ~25-30) and ~380 tacticals. I filled up 60 needed tacticals very quicky and was left with 320 white tactical surplus and was in short of ~40 security doffs. Sure I could save some of those tacticals for future projects but there's really no need to do that cause I'll get them again from fleet doff packages.

    Sure, maybe now that particular project I mentioned will require less, for example 30 security and 30 tacticals so I won't have to buy 400 packages of fleet doffs. Still, considering the ratio of tactical/security from fleet doff packages I am pretty sure I'll be in abundance of tactical and in short of security doffs.

    I gave again a look to the patch notes... they said they removed the console from the borg set but they said the borg set (shields+engine+deflector) is still available
    What will be the set bonuses? We know the 3-set bonus will be the tractor beam but what about the other 2 bonuses we had until now? Will one of those be deleted or will it be coupled with the tractor beam?

    The 29th Century Unis (Fed and KDF) won't be in this patch, but I've been told it should be very soon. There was actually a last minute fix that was needed after players tested it on Tribble.

    The Vesta does not have it's own bridge.

    Cheers,

    What ! No Bridge why do I feel Riped of here.

    By having the Borg 3 piece - shield, deflector and engine - you get the hull heal, shield heal and the tractor beam just like before, its just that you have to use the shield now.
    The console has now been moved to the "weapon" set - Console, Borg cutting beam and the HUGE torp
