Well, that's a little vague :D Do we get any hints as to what the new assignments are?

I think Heretic has fun with his patch notes. ;)

The Plasma-Disruptor Hybrid weapons no longer get 10x the damage bonus they should have been given.??

I think I detect a typo.

In other words, you don't want to ruin that fun... and we're going to have to wait to find out.

:(






:D

•The Warp to Gamma Orionis button no longer takes Klingon characters to Battle Group Omega.

So, it will take us to the Gamma Orionis sector block instead?
Will we still have access to the Battle Group to collect Assimilated accolade Borg Science Boffs?

You should...us feds have an option to go to Battle Group Omega or Gamma O sector block

ya they did more damage than Mk XII Purple weapons. The modifier did 10x damage, not 10x the base damage

Zero now that the Odyssey is properly ingame is there any chance that the Terran Flagship be changed from a Galaxy X back to the Odyssey it was when the Mirror Event first launched?

Yeah... actual proc of 1%....suuuuure... was like that all along, right? ;)

So the DOff has 0.5% chance to kill ALL buffs, but the set bonus has only a 1% chance to kill 1 buff? Personally liked it better at 2.5%... matched the other weapon-type procs (phasers knocking out systems and the like). It was good at 2.5%...

Though it's a freebie power, so shouldnt complain too much :)
