    "The 700-day android engineering bridge officer is now available as a synthetic female or male.

    Also added science and tactical versions of the android Bridge Officers, both male and female.
    The female versions of the androids have the same skills.
    You may still only have one android per captain.
    If you discharge an android officer, you may claim a replacement at no cost.
    Go to the Bridge Officer Requisitions at Earth Spacedock/Qo'noS to claim an android officer."


    Nice. :)

    The Omega Plasma Torpedo Launcher no longer triggers the cooldown reduction procs of Projectile Weapons Duty Officers.

    Does this mean that PWOs are worthless if you are using the Omega Plasma Torpedo Launcher?

    That is one big patch! :eek:

    Thanks for fixing the headshots in the Gateway. And for the Tholian mobs in the Foundry as well. :D

Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    Good update. So when are you guys going to fix the Gamma Orionis Defender Accolade so we can finish it? All the other sectors have been fixed. Where is this one?

    *raises hand*

    Sir, are we going to have to blindly fish around the bottom of the New Link to find Lass to stick him in the jar or will there be a glowie on him to make it easier?

    *All Subsystem Targeting Bridge Officer powers now have thorough Tooltips explaining their exact effects when activated, complete with stat representations that scale with the appropriate modifers.

    Much appreciated.

    *The Omega Plasma Torpedo Launcher no longer triggers the cooldown reduction procs of Projectile Weapons Duty Officers.

    Never knew that it did. I even tried using it with 3x purple PWOs and didnt see much of an effect.

    *All "Nanoenergy Cell" devices have been buffed into usefulness.

    Fixed that for you :P

    *Significantly increased the damage of the Kinetic Cutting Beam, but ...

    Nice.

    *Duty Officer Warp Theorists' Tachyon Beam turn-rate debuff now lasts the full intended duration.

    People actually use Warp Theorists for something other than data sample missions? I'm far more curious about getting Deflector Officers fixed so that they actually have an effect on Energy Siphon and Tachyon Beam.


    Also heard about Season 8, some new story and some new Reps sound very exciting. Iconians... should we be afraid?

    ...

    Naah.

    I heard that (spoiler: ) the Iconians show up in the last New Romulus cutscene mission (tier 5). Haven't seen it for myself, though - I'm only at tier 3.

    The Tier Five-New Romulas Tholians, used my BOff's and I as weapon fodder and then wiped their feet on us...

    I can only imagine now, that the Iconians will just walk all over my team and not bother with weapons at all.

    I died several times - but the key is to try to isolate 1 at a time and competely kill it - therefore it's gone when you respawn.

    I usually go up the food chain - kill ensigns, LT, Cmdr, Captain - on that order. Thinning out the herd for the hardest ones.

    It was a bit annoying not having my boffs - but I was too lazy to stop the mission and go get the suits.

    "Items linked in chat now correctly display their color when first displayed, instead of requiring mouseover."

    this is the last thing I expected to see :D though its a nice touch.

    also it would be nice to see some numbers behind the "Significantly increased the damage" on the KCB

    Plasma Hyperflux now has a real description. - The actual power has not changed and is still "fantastic stuff that is awesome and rad."


    This is the best patch note.

    I've been wondering about that myself. I have all the others, but that one never seemed to work. Also, will there be one for the new sector?
