Im looking for omega type 3 costume.
It requires acquisition of the associated Ground set, and completion of all Elte STF optional objectives.
But as we know, there are no ISE, IGE, KSE, KGE, CSE and CGE!
When will we get Elite version of these STFs?
Developers have any plan?
Any announcement about this issue?

Can anyone confirm?
There's also an unreleased fourth set of unlocks, which I assume will be the reward for completing new elite versions of Borg STFs...if they're ever added... :rolleyes:

My main 'toons' all wearing omega type 3, but new toons not.
Something seriously wrong in this game..
That's just a reporting bug. there is nothing wrong with this game.
"Profits Rising is the best expansion EVAR and the players LUV it!"
As far as the classic Borg STF are concerned cryptic did pretty much everything to ruin their lucratively with DR. I suppose thy have an almost unachievable task with an elite mode on their hands.
- On ground:
Rhi & Nuke Elite grand me 2k+ Dil, mats & tech in approx 6 minutes. No classic Borg STF could or would be competitive in rewards in an elite mode.
- In space:
All non Borg elite PVE are painfully time gated to hinder peeps to earn their income fast while having fun playing. Borg STF were (are) a different story and an elite mode would generate a traumatic income for high DPS teams.
Either way Cryptic seems to have messed up conditions in a fashion that Im very curious if we can expect an elite version anytime soon. Besides after all they did lately I really think having players enjoy the same 6 missions over and over again while neglecting the newer contend must have been an annoying experience for them. Pushing players in non Borg PvEs this way was one option to handle the situation. Generating new and exiting maps based on players preferences would have been another.

On another point, considering this whole update was supposed to solve power creep, I can't see how exactly that has been achieved, because it seems most of the content is still getting thrashed by the usual veterans and all that has really happened is that build diversity in space, new 50's and casual folks have been disproportionately hit by the changes, not to mention the game becoming alt-unfriendly again.
Personally, I feel that Elites should be a lot harder. No time gating though, but make the mission have ground and space portions combined so you have to do both. Optionals are randomised and again aren't time gated and the missions should also have randomised mobs using more intelligent AI.
Of course the mission should also reward a massive amount of resources that offsets the time investment and makes them a competitive choice against running a similar amount of advanced missions in the time.
It appears the accolades are simply broken. Some accolades, like "First steps of the elite" or 'Vorn superior service medal' are still awarded/show progress when you complete a (your first) advanced STF.
Others, like the MACO team commander that is required for the uniform options the OP is talking about, do not count advanced missions, at least they didn't when I completed them all for the first time on a new character. This could mean that some accolades were changed and others the Devs may have forgotten to change when DR hit, it could also mean that these accolades will require the completion of new Elites once they are released. I, too, hope it's the former and not the latter tbh.
Bug report has already been filed, and there's already a thread in the bug report section btw. But no reply so far, unfortunately.
Typical cryptic support :mad: thanks for the info.
I don't know which devs thought it would be a great idea to have a skill that add more than +30%acc/+30%crit, and can be used with any commander slot, but he had absolutely no idea of how this game is played. And nobody stopped him. Hello permacrit power, thanks for joining !
At this point, I don't think anything short than a total revamp of the gameplay would stop the powercreep. And it's not going to happen.
Now, that leave a question unanswered, will the elite be tailored for those who knows how to DPS (what to use and upgrade, mostly), and do 50k+dps, or for the average pug player, that will pull 10-15K dps in his good day, with a fully upgraded ship full of MKXIV and tep stuff ?
Will this content be made for cannon escort, or for BFAW/SS scimitard/T6cruiser ?
After all, supposedly both side use the same quality of stuff, more or less, and use perfectly valid ships and builds, unless cryptic admit the cannonscort are really weak, and we should all jump on the beamtrain (tchoo tchoo!). Or admit BFAW and SS are the way to go. Or perhaps tell all those "noobs" they need to upgrade the embassy console to epic and use non-plasma weaponry ? They might not reach 50K dps, but they'll suddenly win 15k+.
