    Wasn't the CD reduction suppose to work on all Torpedoes? I under stand the need to make sure it doesn't give a CD reduction to all abilities, but I just want it to stay consistent with what its suppose to do.
    The Plasma Destabilizer console is part of a two piece set with the Singularity Stabilizer, and combined they give a passive effect of increasing all projectile damage by 10%, and lowering projectile cool down by 20%.

    So instead of fixing the uniforms to be properly usable by all players, you remove access to them for "potentially" 1/3rd of your players? Probably inaccurate number, but still...

    To clarify, the T'Varo's set bonus still works for all Torpedoes - we just fixed a bug where it worked on everything else as well. Previously, when you fired the Mega Torpedo while you had the set bonus, all of your cooldowns were reduced by 24 seconds.

    Couldn't the Replicator store just have tabs for Commodities, Food and Equipment?

    Either way, good move.

    This is not good. What are my Federation Officers who are serving on the Romulan Republic ships (aka Liberated Borg Eng, other Fed BOFFs) supposed to wear? ALL of my Federation Officers are using the Odyssey uniforms as :If they are in my Fleet, they wear THIS uniform."

    I understand that the Romulan captain or other Romulan characters cant wear it but why remove it when you allow BOFFs from that faction? Why not put a disclaimer on the tailor that says "CAN'T BE USED ON ROMULAN CAPTAINS OR BOFFS"?

    Even though I don't use the uniform, I agree with Matt on this, you shouldn't take something away that can be used for BOFFs. This is the world you built when you decided to share boffs with Romulan allies.

    Thanks for fixing the T'varo thing. While I'm sure some folks enjoyed it - it was really a PITA in how it threw my timings off on things.

    So will it continue to affect mines? Last time I checked mines were considered projectile weapons.

    This is unsatisfactory! :mad: If you're going to force Romulans to belong to Federation (or KDF) Fleets, then they need to be able to belong. The whole point of a UNIform is so that the whole organization looks the same. It builds esprit de core.
    Make the Fleet Uniforms (Odyssey and Bortasqu) wearable by Romulan Captains!

    No, no, no. When I purchased this, it was for my Captain. There was no warning or note ahead of time that it was restricted to my BOs (which have no Fleet interaction). If you're not going to make it right, that I get to wear it, then I want a refund on my Fleet Credits and Dilithium! :mad:

    • Resolved an issue with the T'varo's 2 piece bonus power.
      • The cooldown bonus of the set now only affects Torpedo weapons and the Destabilized Plasma Torpedo.

    Known Issue
    • Klingon Romulan captains can still purchase the Bortasqu' Uniform through their Embassy.

    #1 I had no idea the set bonus from the T'varo console set was suppose to reduce torpedo cooldown. The info only says it gives +10% torpedo damage and doesn't mention anything about the destablized plasma torpedo cooldown being reduced. Screenshot as proof: nd4d.jpg Either you are mistaken about it, or this is a display error.

    #2 The KDF Botasqu' uniform shouldn't even be purchaseable at the fleet embassy tailor because it is the fleet starbase costume unlock.

    #3 My KDF fleet has a full tier 3 embassy and despite the info in the fleet window for tier 3 embassy, there is NO "unique costume unlock". Players have mentioned this for months that there is no embassy robes outfit for KDF but there is for feds. :mad:

    #4 The exchange in my KDF fleet embassy is still not unlocked, despite having a full tier 3 embassy and it was suppose to automatically unlock at tier 2.

    #5 If you're going to prevent romulan republic players from purchasing these outfits, why not remove them from players that already have purchased it? Why not just allow players to still purchase it since it can be used on your allied faction bridge officers? I'm sure you could find a way to have the starbase tailor store show a message for romulan republic characters that it can only be used on boffs of the correct faction.

    Edit: #6 Thanks for putting the commodites in the ship replicator above the food/drink items, but I would also agree with others that a tab on the left of the window would help a great deal.

    So Romulans are going to get their own fleet uniform, right? ETA?

    Still would prefer to have Bortas and Odyssey available for Romulans (for themselves and all their BOs). It's a fleet uniform after all, so it should be available to all fleet members. Additionally, having Odyssey/Bortas available for Romulans would give us the possibility to get an uniform for the whole crew, instead of the current situation with a lot of clothing for both of our romulan and allied officers, without any way to cloth them all in the same uniform. :(

    My Tier 2 Embassy has access to the Exchange. However it acts odd. When I first arrive at it the interaction window shows up and says "Exchange not available", but if I wait a couple of seconds a SECOND interaction gets added to the first that says "Access Exchange". It is unlocked but its like it adds a new Exchange interaction point instead of using the old interaction.

    I understand why Romulans shouldn't have access to all Fed and KDF uniforms, but can't we make an exception for the Odyssey and Bortasqu uniforms? A lot of us have purchased it already for our Romulans, also there is no other uniform available from the Starbase for Romulans.

    Why is it Romulans can wear the KDF starbase uniform, but cannot wear the Fed starbase uniform? That's pretty inconsistent.

    Please make the uniform available to Fed-Roms as well, rather than just take it away from everyone.

    also does this mean Romulans will get their own special uniform as you are cutting off a large portion of players.

    I and several players have now confirmed that the T'Varo 2 piece fix bugged up the other set bonuses. You no longer get a 10% dmg bonus to all projectiles and I think the CD reduction on projectiles is also fubared. Fix one thing and break another.
