Bortasqu' variants have Cloak while the Scimitar variants have Romulan Battlecloak. Phil “Gorngonzolla” Zeleski Cryptic Studios Lead Systems Designer

This is a typo. It is actually 5 tac, 2 sci and 4 eng as you point out. Phil “Gorngonzolla” Zeleski Cryptic Studios Lead Systems Designer

These ships were made before T5-U/T6 ship rules and break the "no more than 4 consoles on an off-Commander profession". It's something we're aware of, and had to respect their stats since T6 ships are based off of T5-U stats, which are based off of T5 stats.

Indeed! You can use the T5 Odyssey consoles on the T6 variants. Same is true for Bortasqu' and Scimitar variants. Note that the 3 new consoles found on the T6 variants are in their own separate set. Phil “Gorngonzolla” Zeleski Cryptic Studios Lead Systems Designer
-
That's just an omission. It does indeed have the standard Romulan Battle Cloak ability. Phil "Gorngonzolla" Zeleski Cryptic Studios Lead Systems Designer

Indeed. The Kolasi comes equipped with Nausicaan Stinger Fighters. Improved versions of these fighters are available in the Dilithium and Fleet stores. Regards, Phil "Gorngonzolla" Zeleski Cryptic Studios Lead Systems Designer

Neither the Microprojectile Barrage Launcher nor the Stay on Target trait benefit from Kemocite Laced Weaponry buff. Regards, Phil "Gorngonzolla" Zeleski Cryptic Studios Lead Systems Designer

Viral Torpedo works with the Microprojectile Barrage Launcher console, but not Stay On Target. Regards, Phil "Gorngonzolla" Zeleski Cryptic Studios Lead Systems Designer

The non-warbird tactical command ship starship masteries are: Escorts and Raptors -Precise Weapon Systems (+Acc) -Tactical Maneuvering (+Def) -Enhanced Weapon Systems (+Dmg) -Devastating Weaponry (+Crit Chance) Escort Carriers -Precise Weapon Systems (+Acc) -Tactical Maneuvering (+Def) -Quick Deployment (-Hangar Pet…

Good catch. This ship should have the same starship mastery abilities as the D'deridex Warbird Battlecruiser Retrofit [T5-U] and the Aelahl Warbird Battlecruiser [T6] as they are both Engineering Warbirds. The 2nd starship mastery ability listed in the C-store and on the reward packs are incorrect. It should be Enhanced…

Yessir. That is precisely what this change will allow. Phil "Gorngonzolla" Zeleski Cryptic Studios Lead Systems Designer
-
Good questions, and ones that were brought up by the rest of the team when we discussed this change. Why 3? Well, honestly we chose three out of caution. We would like players to be able to focus on a single school if they like, but we also don't want players progressing through the system too quickly. This is the sort of…
-
Good catch. It was a typo. The EC cost remains unchanged.

Hi all, In my original post I mentioned that Starship Mastery skill point requirement reductions would make it into tomorrow's patch, however it has come to my attention that it will have to be introduced in a later patch. Our hope is that it makes it into next Thursday's patch. I'll keep you all informed as I find out…
-
Starship Mastery was never intended to be a grind. I like to think of it as a training period for you and your starship to become one. Our goal will be to tweak it until it feels just right. I am glad many of you weren't bothered by the skill point gain rate, that tells me it wasn't insanely off the mark. Best Regards,…
-
Hopefully just the grind.
-
Thanks to everyone who brought this to our attention. It has been resolved internally and should be included in a future patch.
-
ACK! Good catch guys! Will be fixing that now.
-
This should be fixed in an upcoming patch guys. Thanks for tracking this down.
-
Good catch!
-
Shields do not increase on T5-U ships. I was concerned about the shield value going down or changing. They should be identical to the T5 versions.
-
Hi all, I wanted to let you know that I am monitoring this thread. We are aware of the issues posted here. Many of which have been fixed internally and should roll out into a build soon. The issues that SHOULD be resolved shortly are: -Crew being goofed up. -Shields being lower than you'd expect. The issue that I am…
-
That is indeed a typo. It should read: 1 Lieutenant Tactical/Intel, 1 Lieutenant Commander Engineering, 1 Lieutenant Commander Science, 1 Commander Science/Intel, 1 Ensign Universal for a total of 13 seats.
-
Hi all, I wanted to pop in and answer some common questions that I am seeing. Some I have already answered, but it might be nice to have them all in one place. Q: Will Fleet Ship Upgrades be account unlock? Or single unlock per character? A: Fleet Ships Upgrades are account unlocks. However, you must still purchase the…
-
I really like the Advanced Escort too. You will be able to upgrade both the Multi-Vector Advanced Escort and the Fleet Advanced Escort to T5-U for a to be determined cost. Fleet ships are an improvements upon Tier 5 ships. T5-U Fleet ships are improved versions of T5-U ships. But, yes you will need to pay to upgrade each…
-
The thought crossed our minds. However, we'd like to keep Fleet Modules specific to purchasing fleet ships and whatever we do for T5-Us to be entirely seperate. Upgraded Lockbox ships aren't inferior to T6s ships. Existing lockbox ships lack the 13th bridge officer power once they're upgraded and they don't have a Starship…
-
Hi all, Sorry for the delayed response! I thought I would pop in and answer some questions about the Risian Luxury Cruiser that weren't clearly answered (or omitted) from the blog. Once you complete the Risian Corvette project you can kick off the Risian Luxury Cruiser project. You can ultimately claim both ships. You can…
-
One thing you might want to know is that there is always an hourly bonus dilithium project you can complete at Tier 5 (the same one that replaces the XP hourly once you've done 3 of them). This gives a reward pack once per hour even at tier 5, but you'll still have to throw down some Marks, Energy Credits and Expertise.…
-
Good question, sorry for the confusion. Elite Marks = Voth Cybernetic Implants and Borg Neural Processors.
-
This will be determined through the course of beta, but initially it will be three. We'll see how that pans out if we need to increase it. Other than Dyson Joint Command Commendations being replaced by a Daily Mark bonus, nope! Yes, that is the plan. I'd say this is definitely on the table. We'll have to see if and when we…
