    Should the azure nebula that awards both romulan marks and fleet marks also say both? at the moment it just says romulan marks, which is the greater currency of the two but still i think it should be there.

    think vault ensnared does as well but cant remember.

    also on the text for the reputation hour. i dont think it mentioned red alerts, and defera invasion as giving omega marks.

    so....this means that they will have better chances of dropping items other then common drops?

    This isn't very clear.

    captains, battleships and dreadnought enemies now have a better chance of dropping a quality item when they die. what's complicated about that?

    Captains refers to ground enemies.

    No :) The Captain level of the enemies (Undine Captain, Tholian Captain, Elite Borg Drone, etc.).

    Sooo dark mistress of the foundry, what prevents players to place some captain level enemies in a mission with a couple dozen allies around that 'assist' with the kill so you can rake in some shiny purple itemz?

    I'm not fluent with the Foundry but that 'feature' came to mind when reading the patchnotes. :cool:

    I'm not sure I understand this. They already dropped all of the above mentioned items. A lot of them, as a matter of fact.

    Possible that the ground loot drops were stripped from STFs at the same time as the space loot? I don't do ground STFs very often, so I wouldn't know if S7 changed anything there.

    No. I just did Into The Hive Elite today with some friends and all of the loot mentioned above was droping like crazy - as always during ground STFs, I might add. Nothing has changed in this regard in S7 from what I can tell, that's why I'm finding these patch notes a bit confusing.

    It's Cryptic's name for the various "levels" NPCs. More common names would be Boss, Elite Boss, Raid Boss.

    Is there a reason that collective static grenades are bound to character, but not cordrazine hypos and immunosupport nanite injectors? It seems to me that they should all be unbound.

    If you set up a mission like this all the NPCs you spawn will get most of the kills instead of you and you wont get any loot for any kill attributed to them.

    Rex, would it kill you to clarify what they could be dropping? In the tables are there ANY mk XII items?

    Also, just save everyone the time and drop the green stuff. Srsly, I'm sure I speak for everyone.

    Rex, oh sunshine of the foundry (*smile*), can you also do that for space mubs, not just for ground mubs? ^^ I mean can space enemies also drop a few large shield batteries and stuff ADDITIONALLY to normal drups? That would be really cute. :)

    Also, don't you mean just Captains and Dreadnaughties? Because if you add battleships, Commanders on ground should also count. ^^ I think Captains and Dreadnoughts should be enuff though, as there are way too many battleships and Commanders around in normal maps and then blue or purrple loot might just get too common. :)

    PS: Could you up sum mubs in Fleet Actions or Defurry Salvage Operations to Level 54 like in Ker'rat so they have a slight chance of drupping MK XII stuff, whatever rarity doesn't really matter.

    PPS: And hey, is it possible to make space mubs in the foundry non-scalable? So that you could add a nice epic boss battle with a Dreadnaughty against the player and scripted helping ships? Of course the player would have to add assisting ships or he could just leave them out for a real challenge. :) A "single enemy captain" mub, also for ground in a 1 vs 1 battle (without away team) would be sumfin I really appreciate. :)

    Are you guys going to fix the default shuttle bug at all?

    We have players running around with universal commander stations on defiants at the moment!

    You have many bugs in game after season 7 and your priority is working on change loot tables?
    Maybe you should focus more on bugs like:
    repair and make available private queues (starbase defense with only own fleet members it is not possible, mine trap too, fed + kdf team is not posible for team queue)
    kicking players out from fleet actions 10second after join it

    Because these are changes that literally take a few minutes and drastically improve quality of life of players who feel increasingly restricted by narrowed rewards?

    drop chances...? stf queue TEXT...?

    ok uuh ... but when do the bugs get fixed?

    like Obisek having wrong Audio files attached if you play Vault Ensnared on KDF side? (instead of "web at 20%" he calls me names and says im working for Sela!)

    or that Player Ships have BOff Powers available of BOffs that they have not slotted?

    or that the Ship names in the UI are displaying the Shuttle name instead?

    or that the "HUD options" are just completely messed up (for every one of my chars in a different way)?

    That's working as intended, zero. Obviously Obisek just hates KDF.
