gee A ship released broken on it's first day...I'm so shocked...it's those damn monkeys Scotty keeps talking about
shakedown crew's report. I think this new ship was put together by monkeys. Oh, she's got a fine engine, but half the doors won't open, and guess whose job it is to make it right.
I would have to agree with my girlfriend here... visually the ship is beautiful, and I was pretty excited for a new escort, but we have Tribble for a reason, guys...
Oh, who am I kidding, they already have our money, lol.
We have located the source of both the Shield Scaling and Heal Scaling issues, which was being caused by an interaction with our Squad Leader system (the auto-level adjustments used to alter your relative effectiveness in content that is higher or lower level than yourself), and the ship-based items/powers that allow that system to work.
Turns out, it was working a little TOO well for Andorian ships.
A fix has been submitted to QA for review. We're very sorry for the inconvenience!
As a potential up-side, the ship's damage output is unaffected by this bug, since weapons scale with their individual level instead of the ship's. So even though it's risky, you can still potentially be an asset to teams while flying this vessel before we can push the bug fix out, as long as you don't mind having fragile shields and subpar healing (two areas this ship wasn't designed to excel in, anyway).

so when can we expect a fix to these issues and when will your number crunching be complete in order to explain why consoles are being used to replace BOFF powers instead of buffing them like every other console in the game ?
So in other words, fly your gimped 50 dollar ship package and be a detriment to your teams until we fix our TRIBBLE up that should've been caught during testing. Gotcha.

Well, if QA does their usual great verification work, the patch should be available in 15 minutes.
Because, judging from the previously QA approved patches, very little actual QA actually goes on.
Sounds like STO has laid it's first Faberge egg...

It seems to be only affecting heals from your ship. Im an atrox and my own skills are unaffected when I heal someone in a cruiser.~800 per tick is typical for me.
The Cannon shared cooldown issue will need to be fixed also, as it sits you do more DPS and damage NOT using the consoles and running a standard escourt build. As it is now if you buy the bundle and try using the console abilities it sends your boff abilities into a long cooldown. So in summary hit a console ability for one powered attack, then wait, and wait, and wait, until you can use a CRF or a CSV. I just removed all the consoles and ran 4 DCH's and a torp and no Andorian consoles and it did waaaaay better. So Cryptic unless you want all 3 of the consoles that come with these ships to be worthless adjust the abilities not to share a cooldown with the Boff abilities.

All these problems are what happen when you let Starfleet engineers within spitting distance of fine quality Imperial ships.
I cannot understand why products are not tested to be bug free before we are given the product for purchase
It makes the customers angry
and the company look unprofessional

By Dev report, the shared cooldown between the Kumari consoles and CRF/CSV is working as intended.

The second MAJOR blunder in a single week on features that arnt tested first. Surely this is a message that Cryptic needs to promote some non-paid testers with extensive game experience to stress test things to stop this sort of thing.
Still really happah about PVP fleet marks though!

I'll be waiting for the fix as always.
Don't bother me with your problems, senator. It's a prototype, and it will not fail.
More drugs for the pilot. Launch the drones.

Like the respawn autopilot bug, still exists. Embarrassing.
I mean, why aren't you guys flexing the feedback garnered from there? I'm sure a lot of this coulda been sussed out by that.

1st? Davey - you've been here since day 1 - you know its certainly not the first egg. Its not even the first egg tied to an expensive item.
Amen to that. I have a collection of them to rival the Tsars.

I was going crazy trying to figure out why my stats were so different between my regular escort and the Andorian.
We understand bugs happen - thanks for the prompt fix
