    I betting they will be similar to "Loadout Slots" in pricing.

    So, some dude who played a character I had to look up and still don't remember gets added to the plaque and yet Cecily Adams who played the rather memorable character of Ishka is still absent. What gives? Is there a reason she's not on there. *Points at George Coe* Yes I have great respect for the man, but he was in one episode in a minor-ish role all things considered. Isn't it about time she gets added?

    Wow, a lot of bug squashing.
  • thenoname711thenoname711 Member Posts: 204 Arc User
    A lot of bugfixes, that is nice, but I am disappointed from the number of free dry docking slots, especially with how many gold members get. I would prefer at least 10 + 5 that silver members get.

    Do F2P members get dry dock slots and if so how many?​​
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    It says in the notes. free players get 5, sub and lifers get 10 and everyone can buy more, although I don't think tribble recognises subs so you will probably find everyone has 5 on tribble

    Winter Buy-back, been expecting it since Summer Buy-back.

    Glad to see "Vault" will be fixed and some other missions touched up.

    Was kind of expecting Small Craft to be added to Admiralty System; though if their stats aren't at least on par with Tier 1 ships, those are going to have to be some really 'highly effective special abilities'. Though I will say that once again Fed and Fed-Rom characters will have a bit of an advantage over KDF and KDF-Rom with all the Small Craft they have; Each side has a shuttle, a runabout, a fighter and a Captain's Yacht, but then the Feds get a second fighter (Stalker), two more shuttles (Class-F and Type-10/Chaffee), two more Runabouts (Yellowstone and Delta), plus a 'Support Vessel' in the Tal'kyr - six more Small Craft than the KDF has...

    Hm, I'm going to have to re-arrange some of my usual AdSys combinations that I've gotten used to using with some of these changes to the Kar'fi and Negh'tev, but that's minor.

    All-totaled, looking good...

    Shouldn't the Type-10 Chaffee Shuttle be blue quality? Mine was white, but the only way you can buy it is through the C-Store...

    Not sure if this matters much, but...

    Always thought silver and F2P were two separate entities.​​

    Another small inconvenience I noticed. Admiralty only begins generating the associated cards once you get to level 52. And apparently it doesn't check your drydocked ships. So once you gain level 52 you have to go to the ship selector of your choice and must cycle all your drydocked ships into active status and back. Not a big thing but annoying enough to mention.

    They should be null. I haven't checked the latest tribble build yet but are they displaying or counting as tac?

    It's the icon border displaying tactical for all of them, even those with stats leaning toward engineering and science. The shuttle tier is 'Small Craft'.​​

    There is still an abundance of missing VOs in the missions currently on Holodeck (haven't tested, so I don't know if the ones listed in the patch notes have been completely fixed). By my estimates, every mission that's supposed to have some degree of voice acting will at some point either reference the wrong sound file (the Guardian of Forever is a notable example) or produce no sound whatsoever. (One particularly jarring example is Mirror Invasion and all the 'station defense level' messages Obisek's supposed to say - all of his other dialogue seems to work just fine.)

    Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.p3OEBPD6HU3QI.jpg

    Rather than removing Biochemist benefits from Universal abilities, is it possible to make it so that Active Immunity Overload doesn't debuff yourself when activated?
