- Dranuur Colony Fleet Holding
- With Season 14: Emergence, Dranuur Colony will become available as a new joint Lukari-Kentari-themed Fleet Holding, available to all Fleets in Star Trek Online.
- Player fleets will be presented with a full-sized Holding, comprised of a primary track and three subtracks, each with five tiers of progression.
- Each tier and subtrack will offer fleets new improvements to their Colony World holding, as well as access to new equipment, and new gameplay options.
- Remember, this is still a work in progress!
- Fleet Holding Queue
- The invasion simulation is a multi-location wave defense event, which allows up to 20 fleet members to participate without needing to queue.
- Travel to the Dranuur Colony Fleet Holding to start the event!
- This is a work in progress.
- To access this event, players must obtain 3 tokens from fleet projects, then talk to the security officer on the docks.
- There is a test vendor located on Drozana Station that can help speed this along.
- Projects will complete in seconds and not days on Tribble only.
- For more information on our newest features, please visit the blog!
Systems:
- Tzenkethi stealth drones will now respect line of sight.

I noticed the last time I posted the patchnotes, a lot of you were wondering who I am and if I was new! We’ve actually met before in various livestreams and podcasts - I'm Kiera/ doctorbeepboop, your friendly neighborhood producer! I like to paint, watch Nic Cage movies, and stick googly eyes onto random things! I've been at Cryptic for a few years now, I just haven't posted a lot in the past
Not sure what took everyone else so long.
[e] wait... less Evil Twin... more like Evil Little Sister.

Let us upgrade the Seleya Ceremonial Lirpa and Kri'stak Blade
Game client detecting wrong amount of memory
I also found two new bugs while testing on Tribble tonight:
1. If I turn off Lighting 2.0, then the tribbles on the fleet starbase flicker when viewed from certain angles and distances. I have yet to check whether this also happens on Holodeck.
2. I tried to go up the stairs in the area behind the security and tactical officers on the fleet colony. I fell through the stairs and got stuck behind the walls.
I tested this, and you can invite non-fleet-members to the map to participate. However, I'm not sure if they get any rewards. We weren't able to successfully complete the event with only two people.
Here's a crazy idea: Reverse the change to the Ferengi campaign, and replace the doff requirements for fleet projects with a GPL requirement; allow us to purchase GPL with fleet credits; and allow us to turn in doffs for GPL, with higher quality doffs giving more GPL. You could also use another currency or commodity instead of GPL, but this would give GPL an actual use besides novelty items. It would also preserve the value of doffs and eliminate much clicking.
EDIT: Vanilla, don't eat this post.
While the psionic kits being inactive in public does make sense, it also totally removes any and all actual reasons to use the things. Maybe make them a bit stronger, pretty please? Considering it's one of the few sources of psionic damage out there, I'd prefer actually being able to use it.
Maybe just rework the kits altogether? Give them some aspect of worth that makes them fun to use outside of running around a starbase blasting people with explosive heals?
WOW.. it would be time. NICE JOB ! We need that soon as possible on Holodeck. Again.. well done Guys.

Even if you don't implement my GPL idea, you should add civilian doff packs to the starbase. Right now, the only way to purchase civilians from the starbase is to open the packs which give you a random doff.
However, (And take this from me, I am the one who hates them the most), from what I have seen on Tribble you did a good nerf on them, a bit too much. In order to compensate for it make it so EPG% console like Constriction Anchor and Delphic Tear affect the damage and that DoT buffing sets like Temporal 2pc buff it too, since they do not stack that would make them a perfect supplement console for science builds, not interfere with the EPG part of it and just be... a good console that does not oneshot things. Would be good to make it so. (Also would suit what you said in the actual notes a bit more) Thanks.
Fleet Holding, I am honest here this is not the most lively time of the community ever, giving us Tier 5 is already harsh but have those hundreds of thousands of thingies to be grinded but playing down there? I am not sure... That could be a bit too much, also I fell through a few stairs and bridges, got stuck etc. Given that it's a fleet holding where I can not beam up that's a bit disturbing, so I was forced to relog.
So having looked there, i;m guessing this "Lukari ship" that is a T5 project is going to be giving access to the Scout Ships in orbit?
They are the "Charlie" design for the design a ship contest from last year so good to see them in game finally, even if they do look a bit odd next to the Triangle science vessel.
Also, there are a LOT of mini-games hereto gather resources. This is either going to really suit people or is going to drive people up the wall and give them RSI. I've seen the Omega, Dil mining and Radiation scan mini-games so far.
"Raise settings in character creator" removed from "Advanced" tab
Also, I still can't submit bug reports on Tribble.
Bug report ticket on Tribble not working
I keep getting following error message:
[System] [TicketError] Could not connect. Please try again later.
Wow...So since its a DoT now with 50% shield pen...couldn't that console remain at Holodeck damage levels? 5 second discharge (each tick at 50% shield pen) would quickly be nullified in PVP with the use of:
Haz emitters,
Polarize Hull (Traited),
Hold Together (Pilot Spec),
Protomatter Field projector (@500% hull regen) or
Dynamic Power Redistributor Module (which is fixed at 500% hull regen)
Even at 35k proton damage..The current proton consoles damage numbers. applied as a DoT (like tribble). Breaks down into 17.5 to hull and 17.5k to shields in 5 seconds before resistances are applied..This would put it in lockstep with other dots Like:
Below at 410 Epg 96 aux
Deteriorating Secondary deflectors (48k in 10 seconds)
Sensor Burnout (31k in 10 seconds)
TBR 3 (20.6k in 10sec)
Tykens 3 (18.5k in 16 seconds)
DRB w/o debuff (15k in 10 seconds),
Delphic Shockwave (13k in 10 seconds)..
All of this is before resistances are applied...
Most of the above mentioned are Dots at 100% shield pen except the Deteriorating deflector (Its 50%)..The conversion to 50% shield pen addition and a DoT gets rid of the 1 shot ability these consoles had but could still be useful in PVE with the numbers they have on Holodeck.
I am in agreeance that EPG% should boost them if they dont use Holodecks current numbers..But "All damage boosts" affecting them means Tac captains have the advantage with these consoles..But thats only if we go forward with this revision of the proton consoles on Tribble..What do you think?

I'm glad the Tzenkethi Stealth Drones finally decided to respect line-of-sight. Having a time-out didn't seem to do the trick before this patch!
I can agree with that, and it would not be bad if they kept the ability for it to be affected by abilities that boost all damage types, but merely made it that the boost gained via EPG was higher per point overall.
One thing I wish they might look into was taking the concept of the tactical consoles that buffed one energy/weapon type an proton damage, and then adjusted that to make a group of dual-energy/weapon type buffing consoles.
I've discovered that this flickering also affects my M.A.C.O. Phaser Battle Rifle and my tetryon pulsewave. I think you guys might have a general graphics bug. Again, the flickering is only visible from certain angles and distances, and it only occurs when Lighting 2.0 is turned off.
The Auto Targeting Module would be more interesting if the Proton damage buff was at least the same as the Fleet Tac consoles.Well..that and well ..More proton weapons.. Say 37.5% Proton Damage and 25% ______Weapon damage (at epic).
Rouge Sto Wiki Editor.
Oh yeah I had so wished they would have made Proton become a standard energy type we see more like the other energy types, over being a one off type that it is right now. Even a change to switch it that it gives (for example on a mark 12 purple Auto Targeting Module console) a 20 percent boost to proton an 15% to the secondary energy/weapon type (phaser, plasma, cannon, beam, ext) would help., but jjst a boost would be nice.
