General:
Resolved a number of issues involving FX related crashes.
Resolved an issue which was causing occasional crashes involving the UI.
Resolved an issue which occasionally caused a crash when a mission objective would update.
“Butterfly” is now a level 60 mission found in the Iconian War tab of the episode journal.
The Torpedo FX will now properly end when Tholian Disruption torpedoes explode.
The R.R.W. Cretak will no longer appear in random Romulan space spawns.
Resolved an issue where when switching to another character in the same Armada as the last, not all fleets will appear listed in the Armada list.
Crystalline Cataclysm event has been extended to 9/7/15 at 10:00 AM.
Added Yvonne Craig to the memorial plaque.
Resolved an issue which was causing Radiant Subatomic Field to be too loud.
Resolved an issue where the Available Skills UI left-side list might become too large.
Made slight changes to the icon art for Blaze of Glory.
Hooked up a unique icon for the Seismic Agitation Field power.
Added new icon for probation booting.
Systems:
A new unique Shield has been added to the Shields R&D School: Hyper-Capacitor Shield Array [Cap]x4.
Has even higher Capacity and lower Regen than a Covariant base shield.
Has a built-in "Capacitance Bleed" mode which, when toggled on, increases Energy Weapon Damage at the price of draining a small amount of the players current Shield Capacity with each weapon fire.
This recipe requires Level 15 in the Shields R&D School, and also requires an R&D Shield Specialist to create.
The project costs for all Weekly Fleet Buffs have been adjusted:
Fleet Marks increased from 300 to 400.
Dilithium reduced from 25,000 to 20,000.
Fleet Credits reduced from 750,000 to 200,000.
Expertise unchanged at 200,000.
Vaadwaur Split Bolt and Vaadwaur Assault Debilitator weapons now gain correct [Mod]s at Ultrarare and Gold quality upgrades.
Existing versions of these items have been updated.
Resolved an issue that was allowing [PvP Res] and [PvP Dmg] mods to still appear on crafted Deflector Dishes.
Resolved an issue that was causing Piercing Tetryon Weapons to change into normal Tetryon Weapons when attempting to Upgrade them.
Existing items that already fell victim to this issue will not be reverted.
Only newly-obtained versions can be upgraded.
Repaired upgrade path for some items that were not receiving the proper [Mod] additions at certain quality upgrades including:
CRM 200
Federation Type 1 Phaser
Jem'Hadar Assault Wide-Area Minigun
Plasmatic Biomatter Torpedo Launcher
Synchronic Proton Distortion Prototype Assault Rifle
Existing upgraded versions of the above weapons that are missing one or more [Mod] will be automatically repaired.
Fleet Research Lab:
Renamed "Krenim Researcher Outfit" to "Krenim Uniform Collection".
Updated description on Krenim Uniform Collection to display correct list of costume pieces it includes.
Resolved a typo in the dialogue of the Duty Officer Assignments contact.
Removed restriction that made "Go Down Fighting" unavailable while the Starship Trait "Invincible" was active.
These can now be used together.
Powers:
All explosions caused by Neutronic torpedoes are now limited to a maximum of 10 targets.
Subspace Vortex no longer shares a cooldown category with Gravity Well and Tyken's Rift, but also no longer benefits from "Deflector" ability cooldown Duty Officers.
Subspace Vortex now more reliably cleans itself up, and triggers the appropriate cooldown on expiration.
Aceton Beam:
Description updated to reflect stacking limitations: Dmg effect applies, but all Radiation DOTs stack.
Increased base damage at all ranks by ~250%.
Resolved issues with a few powers that contained either Shield Drain or Shield Healing mechanics, which were incorrectly set to be unaffected by Resistances and/or Buffs including:
Overwhelm Emitters
Dominion Defense Screen
Shield Absorptive Frequency Generator
As a result of these changes, items which Debuff Shield Healing will also affect a wider variety of abilities.
Plasma Feedback Cascade now reflects damage back to the first attacker who hits with a ranged energy weapon.
"Sensor Distortion", used by Romulan Drone hangar pets, can no longer effect players.
Borg's "Assimilate Ship" debuff can once again be cleansed using Tactical Team, and properly displays its debuff icon while active.
Vascular Regenerator now cleanses all effects of Borg Assimilation Nanites.
Focused Assault no longer applies the Emitter Synergy buff to enemies while active.
Mines and Targetable Torpedoes can once again benefit from Kemocite-Laced Weaponry and Attack Pattern: Beta.
Resolved an issue that was allowing the passive 3 piece bonus from the Nukara Elite Ground Set to trigger effects that should not attach to passive abilities.
Resolved an issue that was allowing the Crystalline Refraction ability from the Nukara Crystalline Resilient Shields to be applied to the player’s primary ship when the shield was equipped on a slotted Shuttle.
The damage-over-time effect from Structural Integrity Collapse, all ranks, can now be removed by using Engineering Team.
Character:
Resolved a clipping issue on male Resistance Boots if thighs were scaled up.
Reman chests now properly appear when wearing the Reman Work Vest.
Resolved clipping issue on the TOS Mirror Female Upper pieces.
Adjusted the Talaxian Skirt to optimize character animation movements.
Bare Skin for Aliengen Female has been re-categorized.
The bare chest and bare hips have been made NPC only.
Set female "Shoe Motion Picture" to work with uniform loose pants.
Corrected Romulan 22nd century names to "23rd Century".
Resolved an issue with certain species chests not showing when wearing the female KDF Honor Guard Be'ves top.
Removed female Dabo top from the Honor Guard category.
Resolved clipping issues on shins with male Honor Guard pants while wearing Honor Guard boots.
Known Issues:
The glow from interactable objects stays visible after interacting with them.
Bridge Officer ground powers reset after viewing the status window of a Bridge Officer.
Some players are not able to reclaim the Breen Chel Grett and the Dyson Science Destroyer.
Comments:
Woo hoo! The weekly buffs are more expensive, and their effective time wasn't fixed. What is it 24 hours?
Hopefully the fx fixes fix the battlezone crashes. And it's nice to see Tac Team works against the Borg again.
And they're acknowledging the problem with ground boffs.

The Cap^4 Shield, I think they should've gave more thought since nobody really uses Regenerative and the Standard Shields since Covarient has the HPs, or should I say HAD.
Huh, I'd thought Tac Team wasn't working right in Borg red alerts, nice to know I was right. Even nicer is them fixing it.
It wasn't just Borg Alerts. It was Borg period. STFs, Episodes... everywhere there was Borg in space.
normal text = me speaking as fellow formite
colored text = mod mode
Personally I'm more worried about yet another power creep item...and of course only affects energy...torps screwed over once again.
Actually, they increased the cost in fleet marks, and lowered it for everything else except expertise.
+100 Fleet Marks
-5000 Dilithium
-550000 Fleet Credits
= Expertise
To me that looks like a pretty good lowering.
We come in peace, SHOOT TO KILL!
-4/10 Troll effort... I thought you had to be at least 13 or have the intelligence of a 13YO in order to post.
Fleet Marks increased from 300 to 400.
Dilithium reduced from 25,000 to 20,000.
Fleet Credits reduced from 750,000 to 200,000.
Expertise unchanged at 200,000.
That 750k in Fleet Credit was nutz to begin with.
The Cough...Complaining...cough, discussion in the forums may have made an impression on the Devs.
Anyway I'm really happy about it, seems a little more reasonable IMO.
They also fixed the UI bug for Armadas (disappearing fleets)
It was driving one of my fleetmate nuts !
New Crafted Shield, meh not super excited about it. But I'm sure some will enjoy it.
Edit: Ohhh and this looks good as well;
Resolved an issue that was causing Piercing Tetryon Weapons to change into normal Tetryon Weapons when attempting to Upgrade them.
Sounds like it...at all levels +250% damage
My character Tsin'xing
If you find it this hard to obey the ToS for this forum, DON'T POST ANYTHING! It's not hard to be civilised!! Just because 99.9% of people prefer PvE, doesn't make them children, and it certainly makes them better than knuckle-dragging apes such as yourself.
They didn't reduce them enough for the small Fleets, still way too expensive for me and I'll won't slot one until I have completed everything else (which is likely never).
This is one that should have scaled with the Fleet size, only larger fleets can afford the cost. Only large fleets gain enough (across all their members) for the bonus to pay for the cost.
New season is supposed to begin in October and each FE runs 4 weeks.
Double standards much?
How was it a double standard? I did not see any cursing in the reply. The cursing would be the violation of TOS I believe.
We come in peace, SHOOT TO KILL!
Now, if the next episode is the last in the Iconian War arc, then it would work out. And of course, October could mean end of October, so they might still fit in two episodes if the next one is released next week.
Or they alter the schedule away from the 4-week rythm. There were two Iconian war episodes released together once. (Was it Delta Flight and House of Pegh?)
Is that dmg boosted by particle generators?
I believe identifying said person with a member of a different species (to clarify not homo sapiens) was uncalled for and could be considered flaming and thus a violation of TOS.
No, it was delta flight and Blood of the Ancients.
Yes, yes it is, will have to test it out tonight.
I guess the good old Nebula PG build will get to shine once more.
