Pretty good, especially if you're running with Attract Fire active. Attrition Warfare is one of the best cooldown reduction tools in the game, and it procs every 20 seconds so long as you can keep cranking out self-heals.

Haven't bothered even looking at the new rep tree but the new mission is actually decent. Has a star trek-y sort of feel to it in a good way. You know that rare good episode? It felt a bit like that.

So basically nothing at all like how the iconian missions started which were complete garbage at first.

Yeah, there's a lot of exploration and investigation and such in the arc so . Even if it's still mostly explosions, that sort of thing goes a long way towards feeling like proper Trek.

Assuming you mean K13 modules the kligat is insane single-target damage with a quick cooldown. Specifically insane physical damage (thus ignoring shields) that always crits.

Cryptic, a couple months ago - "We're bringing back the wonders of exploration!"

Season 12 Launch - Look at this bigass war you just got into with these cool aliens! Also theres some new parts of the map that do nothing.

Also strategist is the secondary spec for real men. All you nerds in your bugs can keep pilot's fancy barrel rolls - I'm just gonna tank this Tzenkethi artillery hit without any shield loss and then poo poo all over everything with APD Prime.

They did a t6 revamp of the first breen ship this winter so there's a decent chance this summer will be a t6 corvette.

If the featured episode from months ago is any indication, their only idea for "exploration" is lots of minigames scanning random things.

You just need an omega booster with a 2x quality booster to get mk 2 stuff to gold most of the time, especially if you wait for an upgrade weekend. You really want to use the ultimates on VR or lower stuff that you can't get at low marks. If you didn't do the Temporal Agent stuff save it for your rep store items. Other than that save it for mission rewards you want to take to gold or use it on pissbeams.

So the early buzz on the Wrath of Khan pulse phasers seems to be that the proc is disappointing and he sound effect is wrong.

Distributed Targeting, on the other hand, apparently procs Temporal Cross Wiring and might be better than Kemocite Laced Weapons in terms of raw damage, because of the penetration bonus. Worth looking at.

Yeah everything crashed except ships and keys.

Well ships probably DID crash if you take key inflation into account. So basically just keys.

If you just have EC ships and keys are very expensive but the rest is cheap-ish.

Ships totally crashed. Stuff that's low demand is like what, 100m now when it used to be 2-300? High demand lockbox ships are like 250-300m, promo ships are 250-500m depending on how popular they are when they used to literally be off the board... the only thing that's still absurdly expensive is the T6 connie and its other-faction equivalents, and that's just due to being too valuable to actually appear on the exchange and this get dragged down by undercutting.

Probably. Credits are still inflating overall, and even ships are far too volatile now.
