Patch notes for tomorrow.

quote:

General:

“Surface Tension” can now be replayed by Romulan Captains allied with the KDF.
Added a Tier 5 dilithium hourly project to each personal reputation system similar to the same dilithium hourly project found in other tiers.
This project will always be available at Tier 5.
This will reward 340 dilithium and a rewardpack.
Resolved an issue which was causing a crash on New Romulus.
Hirogen Enhanced Battle Armor now costs 200 Lobi once again.
This was incorrectly set to 50 Lobi.
Fluidic Antiproton Wrist Lance now costs 50 Lobi.
This was incorrectly set to 200 Lobi.




Known Issues:

Some players are experiencing graphic related crashes.
New kit modules and frames do not have their own search category in the Exchange.
Active Reputation Powers are not placed into your tray when selected in the Traits window.
They can be slotted by dragging them from the powers list into the tray.
The door to Quinn’s old office has not been hooked to a new location on new ESD for Foundry missions.
This will cause some Foundry missions to not work if an objective was to use this door in the mission.
Assimilated Romulan Republic characters have Tal Shiar costumes.
Some backgrounds in interact windows with NPCs on new ESD still show old ESD backgrounds.
Telekinesis trait cannot be slotted.
Kits in your inventory cannot be equipped by double-clicking on them.
You can drag and drop slot them.
Dyson Sphere ground textures may have graphical issues when antialiasing is set to “none”.

Provided you have the lockbox trait that gives mines +100% seek radius, they're quite good now.

Biotech patch boosts the healing from the borg set. This trait is so great-- I'm not running any hull healing skills at all and I have no problem staying at decent amounts of HP.

Yeah. It gets a lot of (sometimes well-deserved) mockery, but the game is honestly basically unrecognizable from its lovely launch state. The F2P scheme is easily one of if not the best MMO payment schemes on the market, yes even with the lockbox gambling crap, and there's a whole lot of intelligent game design and quality of life features that Cryptic's done that you really, really miss in other games. A single unified server, non-unique character names, the complete lack of endgame raiding-style bullshit, the fact they've managed to work with an endgame itemization that's almost entirely sidegrades rather than a constant treadmill, actually having a unique combat type as a main focus (space shooting), and so on. It's a massively underrated game and almost everyone I know whose tried it continues to play it off and on.

The trait rework has also made ground combat a lot cooler to do since you no longer have to gimp yourself for space or ground.

The grenade on the KHG rifle isn't terrible, but iirc it has a really long reload compared to most secondaries. It does knock Borg down, which is nice.

Pulsewaves are shotguns, and therefore the most fun. Split beams have great versatility. Basically, don't use pistols and you'll be fine.

I read a dev post on the forums and their explanation for the massive HP is that players have been bypassing a lot of enemy abilities simply by killing them super fast with AoE attacks; their idea is that by forcing players to concentrate their fire on individual threatening enemies instead, enemy abilities will be able to come more into play than they do now.

The only reason to use the borg launcher is to make things disintegrate when you kill them with a high yield torp. Admittedly this is a pretty good reason!

From what the devs on the forums say, a) intelligence doffs can't be converted from existing ones and b) an intelligence doff is still limited to four space and four ground abilities, so you'll have to choose which intelligence skills you want to use carefully. Which is annoying because some of them look pretty good on paper :(

Under what conditions do I want mines on my ship?

You want the lockbox trait that makes mines have 100% more seek distance, and also Omega Kinetic Shearing. Then they can be worth using.
