    the game is a lot more interesting with level VIII blue gear. still, I warmly welcome this week with open arms.

    Very timely! Was just going over the possibility of switching some gear out on my ship and bringing replacements up to spec.

    Good. Couldn't really wait for it so I already started a bit, but it will still be nice to get these bonuses. Got some Kumari cannons waiting and I need to equip my new Voth Bastion with coaltion disruptors :)

    Oh excellent! I was wondering how long I'd have to sit on my Temporal Agent upgrades before getting maximum return. Apparently not long at all. Thanks!

    Time travel and glass-cannon ships hurt my head and is NOT what Trek is about. Trek is exploration, becoming better as a species, and gaining scientific knowledge while holding on to the traditions that got us where were are.

    This is good. I'm still gearing up alts. My AOY is out of range for major upgrades. But I can get a few items going for her as well.

    @pwlaughingtrendy Can you just confirm that this is indeed a week long event like the blog states please? Just the in game calendar still states the upgrade event is only running until Monday the 25th. ​​

    They didn't update the in-game calendar, but it should last until the 28th.

    When the dev blog and the in game calendar differ, it's always worth clarifying as previous experience has shown that it could go either way.     ​​

    It seems like someone forgot to tell the devs(same running the calendar?). Looks like Everythings back to Normal. Anyone else?

    The in game calendar wasn't updated (as per Trendy's post a few up the page) but the event IS still running. When you try upgrading something you'll see that the upgrades are still providing double the tech points they normally do.     ​​

    No there isn't. I tested it before saying something. There now is a trouble ticket, Arc Live has been notified, and it's in Bug Reporting section. @khamseenair: Is it working for you?

    I just took these screenshots.

    Here's what the upgrade says it provides

    Here's what it's actually providing
    http://i.imgur.com/RhdVRyN.jpg

    That tells me the event is still active.

    Is there a specific item or tech upgrade you're trying to use which isn't working?    ​​

    For me, I've been try to change the rarity of several MkXIV torps(crafted and rep) and the Nukara mine. They were increasing quite well this weekend...back to normal today. Must be something wrong with my toon/account/something.

    I'm glad whatever weirdness was going Monday morning got corrected. Because after that, I did pretty good. Here are the important ones:

    UR%20Nukara%20icon.jpg?dl=1
    UR%20Nukara.jpg?dl=1
    First UR rep wep. Finally changed @ 53%.

    UR%20TOS%20torp%20icon.jpg?dl=1
    UR%20TOS%20torp.jpg?dl=1
    VR donated from AoY toon(had 2). This one started out green/uncommon.

    UR%20crafted%20qt%20icon.jpg?dl=1
    UR%20crafted%20qt.jpg?dl=1
    Crafted photon will have to wait...

    UR%20wide%20qt%20icon.jpg?dl=1
    UR%20wide%20qt.jpg?dl=1
    From my first C-Store ship: the Regent-class. Barely got this finished(daily 8000 dil, last 2 were standard superiors). Changed at only 20% and it's my first space wep to have CritX applied.

    I'm definitely going to be playing many more elite STFs to stock up on salvage for the next time. Good luck everyone.
