Wear Fed or Engineering to it, switch later. If you wear the Dental one outright, they may not even let you in.

Alternately, switch every day.

Hey, someone linked this in chat talking about the Particle Manip Trait, but what's that down under 'Other'?



The only thing I know of that goes down there is the Transwarp bonus trait and that has a different icon.

I think it's from one of the Romulan story missions, probably from Mind Games.

Yeah, I meant ones that have positive gameplay effects - those two do transwarp cooldown reduction/elachi-killing damage increase.

Cryptic probably should list them there though, I wonder how many people don't even know that there's permanent passive bonuses (if small ones) from the kill/weapon damage/get damaged achievements.

Looking at what actually constitutes exotic damage, I'd be sticking the Experimental Proton Weapon onto your ship, coupled with the Biomolecular beams from the Undine rep - their secondary radiation damage should be covered, in theory.

The Proton probably won't work. There's specific consoles and things for Proton damage from the Dyson rep.

Exactly this. Proton is basically like phaser or disruptor damage except only a few things deliver or buff it.

Exotic damage is your gravity well & feedback pulse stuff. Especially feedback pulse.

That science trait really makes me want to park my fancy-pants carrier and get back into a science destroyer sometime. Feedback pulse boats are going to be nasty with that.

I think the Adapted Romulan Talshiar Ship set also adds a fuckton of exotic damage to every science ability even if it doesn't do any damage by default. That might mix well with that trait.

I think it's more likely to be based on the Neverwinter rep progression (which is sort of a weird hybrid of STO rep progression, raiding and a skill tree). Possibly with each type of ship based on a different subfaction (The Fed Engineer Corp grinds you cruisers, the Science Division grinds you Science Vessels, etc.) so there's more grind.

They won't do this since they want people to buy the latest ship thing whenever it comes out regardless of what type of ship it is. This is a big part of why they killed the ship-specific piloting skills back when they revamped the skill system when F2P hit.

For a moment I thought the shirt was a companion piece to the hat and said 'Star Trek: Dental Rising'. That would be The Best expansion. Either way it'll be nice to have new toys to play with assuming they don't Cryptic it up like they did crafting.

Apparently the new Tier 6 ships will come with new features that upgraded T5 ships won't have. Might be a nice change to the meta game if it pans out properly.
