unless i missed it in the wall of text, are the defera missions that award omega marks only been fixed, as they dont let you claim them saying your inventory is full despite it only offering marks.
Sweetness
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
Guess i'll have to check out this "new art".
Groovy!! Gonna have to check that out too!
Interesting.
Why do Photonics need an EVA suit again?
Good!
How was it "improved"?
Everything else not quoted, *thumbs up*

Darkstar did you read the new ask Cryptic? In it Dstahl said something about a Dominion Lockbox coming around the 3 year anniversary so maybe these will kind of co-inside. Also I wonder if the Jem'Hadar ship set will update and the Dominion (Old Phased Polaron) weapons will be the new weapons buffed in the Ship set.
But i also see many good updates, such as the tholian red alert and the tooltip improvement. I hope you plan to remove all the vague ones. We need precise figures and %. Everywhere.
God, lvl 60 CW. 17k.
I doubt it, there would be little but anger with the change, since they are just a Hybrid w/ crtH bonus.
For that matter, why wasn't the Chel Grett added to the Jem set since it was a Dominion ally like the the cardasians.

phased polaron becoming dominion polaron is a tell that the next rep to grind will be dominion rep, and there will be these weapons unlocked in a store. i thought this would eventually happen. dan said the next lock box will be dominion, this update tells me a rep will be launched around then too, i wouldn't even be surprised if theres a gamma quadrant sector block added in season 8 too, with another embassy.
The stats weren't changed -- the existing Toron shuttle is more in-line stat-wise with the Runabout than the Type 8. We adjusted the visuals to represent that.
That's what I thought.
Once I have Tribble updated, i'll expect to see something that looks less like a KDF Worker Bee.

Except for the fact, that the Toron Shuttle is SUPPOSED to look like a "KDF Worker Bee"
http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Toron_class
What are the chances of seeing more of these "weapon-specific" Universal Consoles, function more.... Well, universally? The "Photon emission torpedo" for example would be nice, if it could work with any torpedo type capable of being "Spread" or "High Yield". Any torpedo should be able to be modified to track plasma emissions, since the "sensors" and "weapon yield" are not directly tied together.
Not to mention how NumEnter is now the same as the Enterkey, when before it was a seperate key.
And of course how the BioNeural Torpedo still can't be fired by the Torpedo key.
So world dose end on 21.:eek:
Standard view, Borg set w/ console = crazy
might tell the artist that the borg console visual needs adjusted on the shuttle. It looks a little .... strange with the giant pieces.
Otherwise, send my Kudos to the artist.

Ok I have to agree with why the weapons will most likely not bonus the space set. Also I would like to see the new Breen Ship added to the Jem'Hadar set; The Galor and the Jem'Hadar attack fighter are buffed by it maybe they will add the Breen ship the least we can do is just ask them to add it.
The "emission-seeking" torp already does work with other torp types. I use it all the time with the regent 180 degree torp.
Please enable us to buy a token with Zen to faction change a 25th Century FED to a TOS FED.
I did say "for example". I don't know when they changed it, but I know I tested the Exeter and it's Emission-Seeking console while it was on Tribble, and back then it -only- worked with Photons.
The Bellerophon "Shockwave Torpedo" console is another example of being Photon-specific (unless that too has changed?!?)
why wasn't this released as a new shuttle? the old torran could have been a type 8 clone, will this one could be a runabout clone, each with the same price structure. or you could have sold this in the c store like all the fed c store small craft. did so expect to make so little off it that you didn't bother? i actually would have bought it, to support the kdf.
well, it looks awesome at least. was it a little side project a ship artist worked on? i just have 1 problem with it, its got cool outboard cannons but it cant equip duel cannons. if you look at the thing, its feels kinda silly that you cant. the kdf cruisers can equip cannons, so... let the shuttle do it too! fed small craft are much more numerous and many are much better, it would be nice if this had something.
I just went into Tribble to check this and it seems that you need to fix a few more cases. The name and ship type of the shuttle is still wrongly used instead of the ship name in the character selection screen. Also, renaming the shuttle will change the decal of the ship to the shuttle's name and number.
I agree. Photon Torpedoes are the least-favored among players because their faster refire rate vs. Quantum torpedoes tends not to be worth the reduced per-volley damage, since the faster refire rate is only useful if you actually get an opportunity for that second shot (i.e. the enemy has not restored shields to that quadrant or moved outside of your firing cone during the recharge time).
Don't be ridiculous. We know Cryptic has the tech to "exempt" certain torpedo types. The example in question not withstanding (currently limited to Photon torpedoes). It wouldn't be too difficult to exempt Tricobolts. Photons, Quantums, Plasma and Chroniton would be nice thou.
Does this mean we can now finish Second Wave without having to be in a group?
[Unrepentant] Lapo@overlapo: the problem with space STF
is that you can't properly teabag your defeated opponent
Unrepentant: Home of the Rainbow Warrior and the Rainbow Brigade.
Yes, Tri Torps would be overkill, but standard torps should work more universally with these consoles.
Though one could make the argument that tri-cobalts being so slow would be easy enough to counter.
Omega tier 4 shield regen is still god mode...
