We will be bringing the Tribble server down for maintenance to apply a new update.
ST.17.20120318a.5

General:

• Ferengi Duty Officer contact on DS9 is now properly neutral.
  • Apparently, the Klingon's check bounced.
• KDF Big Dig (Romulan Temple Fleet Action) Mission update:
  • In an effort to improve the fun and playability of this Fleet Action, several changes have been made to reduce and simplify objectives.
    • Stage 1 now only requires 14 scientists to be kidnapped.
    • Stage 2, Defeat 150 Romulans, has been removed.
    • Stage 3 now requires 12 artifacts to be secured by a Force Field Generators.
    • Stage 4 has been altered from defeating 20 Romulan and Reman captains to defeating a single summoned enemy at the top of the temple.
  • Additional Changes:
    • Players may now carry up to 5 Force Field Generators at once.
    • Force Fields around artificts no longer have collision so players will no longer get stuck in them and need to beam out of them.
    • Enemy mobs near respawn locations have been thinned out.
    • Enemy patrols travelling up and down the temple stairs have been removed.
  • We expect the amount of time needed by a large group to complete this Fleet Action to have significantly been reduced by these changes. Enjoy!
• Updated asteroid mining:
  • Resolved an issue that would cause the mining animation to not play.
  • Resolved an issue that would cause players with the new EV suits to be unable to leave the airlock.
• Took Zero out for an awesome birthday lunch and acquired delicious cake.
