Lost in the Conversion: Schematics

canis36canis36 Member Posts: 737 Arc User
In all the talk leading up to 9.5s release I don't recall any mention of the schematics from the old system outside of mention of making the Horta Combat Pet schematics a DOFF mission prompt item. I assumed that it was just something of a given that like all the other materials and components of the old crafting system these items would be included in some fashion.

They haven't been. I'd like to know if anybody saw something I missed and if the Devs just overlooked them or simply assumed we'd trash them at the vendor. And before anyone wonders why I've got unused schematics laying around I'll point towards "The Vault" story mission where you could "scan" various places in the final chamber and receive schematics.

    I've not checked, but I thought I remembered one of the Devs commenting that they were going to leave the Defera Crafting station in operation.

    Yeah, which sucks a bit. Defera should grant you new recipes for the main crafting system...

    I want to point out that on the Fleet starbases, the R&D consoles appear to still be on the old crafting system. no idea if they actually work, since I already converted all my materials.

    A little off topic: What to do with the Aegis set in my bank. I thought I had read that the Aegis set would be upgraded to Mark 12 but it still has the rank up icon on it. The aegis set is in my account bank and I put it there thinking I could make some money on it. Any advice with what I should do with it would be appreciated and I am sorry for hijacking your thread.

    The existing Aegis set I had on an inactive ship was indeed upgraded. Check the stats.

    And how exactly are they going to do that??? so we going to have now 2 different crafting systems?? :eek:,. Nah, just forget about defera materials, period. Cryptic will just wipe out any possibility of using em as crafting materials. I smell it. I know em very well xD.

    Did you actually check the stats? Are the set bonuses wrong?

    My Aegis does not say Mk XII. AFAIK, nobody has one that is labeled Mk XII, and supposedly it only shows it as Mk XII for the Ultra-Rare versions. However, the stats on my Aegis set are correct, the set bonus is that hit negation thing.

    it upgraded. and it's worth taking for a spin. I like it so far. you will know it upgraded because it will give you a power that has the feedback pulse icon

    Old unbound ones never got changed to be identical to new ones. The stats did get changed but the binding never altered from character bind on equip to account bind on equip hence why we apparently now have several varieties of Aegis set.

    On topic though there is a dev post a little while ago to say schematics will not have anything done with them so they may as well be vendored.

    Still waiting to be able to use forum titles

    defera materials are still used on defera as old crafting. so they dont really fit in the same cetergory as schematics.
    those turret making is that still doff assigment in engineering? (turret schematics i think they are called)

    maybe schematics could be transformed in specific catalysts. beam schematic to beam catalyst, cannon schematics to cannon catalysts.

    Unlikely. Catalysts are intended to be a purely monetized addition to the system.
