    As FED airlocking prisoner is just an economical reaction. No Dil, no EC, well may be 1000EC on the exchange. The prisoner for the "exchange prisoner" you normaly got from crit "strike against fugitive". But now you get lots more and if you dont turn over contraband yout dont run to the sec offi on the ESD just for 200 diplomacy points.
    There are 2 additional assignments in the alpha quadrant you forgot, the colonial team chains. You need 5 civs which can be prisoners, but the outcome is equal to the assignment from the sec offi.

    I'd be happier if DOFF missions that were removed with the introduction of the admiralty system were restored. Springing extra events on us like the shuttle event will NOT make me forget about the missing doff assignments.

    I will do tons more ground stuff with this trait thing. I don't mind ground, it's just the trait switching- it became tedious and tiresome. This is a HUGE game improvement, great job.

    I would agree for FED, it's probably the fastest way to get rid of them.
    for the colonial team chains, I couldnt remember the name of the mission but like fed security officer one it doesnt give much in XP/dili/CXP.
    btw there's a SB special 30mn project using those fed prisoners that can be used to get rid of them, its like 250-300 FC but still you get something out of them, some provisioning projects on various holdings also alow you to contribute prisoners when it's asked for common civilians too.
    You can also send them via email and use them on KDF chars that will never have enough prisoners nor civials for doffs missions but require to contribute many on SB & any provisioning holdings.

    Hope it'll help some ;)

    indeed.

    when I 1st read about that great news, I imediatly though 'cool, I'll probably erase my dedicated ground char" but then I realise it's not changing skills and since that ground char is a 100k skill pts one(instead of 300k space/ 66k ground), I'd beter keep it.

    IT's still a realy good move to separate ground & space traits and will probably help many enjoy ground a bit more without spending +5-10mn remembering/switching traits.

    Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised that the trait changes and the new FE is going live in this build! I was especially not expecting the FE after the introductory post that was made on Monday the 16th that said "In just a couple weeks, enjoy our latest featured episode, “Stormbound”!" Should be cool. Hopefully maintenance will end before I have to go to work ;)
    Thanks for the expansion that had "as much content as the last"
    9 Episodes = 30+ episodes...?

    by the way, surely you want the VO stuff in the new featured episode to be working BEFORE you unveil it so that folks get the intended experience... or at least the folks that listen to the VO stuff.
    Agreed, for me the story and VO work are an important part of the experience. I hate it when VO work is missing or has the wrong lines in relation to the text displayed (Van Zyl in her shuttle fighting Sela's covert freighter comes to mind).

    On that note, where the hell is Obisek? That voice actor plays his role so well and his character deserves a comeback.

    Type XYZ at the end of your message if you'll be surprised if maintenance is extended. If not, just put "lol" at the very end.

    Trendy, something's wrong with patching, unless it taking two hours to patch is normal.

    Hey, what gives? No thread for this week's early maintenance?

    Look harder? Pft... Look at the post times. 9:40 and 9:41 (for EST). I obviously started my post as the thread was created. Regardless, my post and the announcement were made after the maintenance started.

    Too bad they didn't make the call to move maintenance up before Trendy went home, or she'd have gotten it up in a more timely fashion.

    Or at least to come back and re-do the lines from Vault (at least shuttle event), and when the Prophets are using him as a "mouthpiece" for one of the lines in the new Mirror Bajor stuff. Because either there's another voice actor who is just NOT matching the voice, or some terrible processing was done.


    (I will confess it: I have a HUGE crush on that voice*. I listen through the whole Mirror Invasion instructions because THAT VOICE. Therefore, I am automatically for anything that has the right voice actor, and more Obisek. Honestly, give me a kickstarter that lets me get a CD of all his lines or something, and I would totally throw money at it.)

    (* At least two of my characters, first time he's doing the little spy routine, are all, "...wait, wait, how about I surrender RIGHT NOW and you can try to brainwash me? By talking at me? Because I am intrigued by your plight and wish to subscribe to your podcast!" )
