You mean we get patch notes this time? Unlike the last two patches that changed stuff without patch notes

It was commented the reason for that was because it was a back end change to the server, but it still required a small client update so the versions of the client and server matched . Nothing else was done.

If nothing was done why did Target Subsystem shields change? Why did the Breen set stop boosting projectile damage? What else changed?

My suspicion is that they contain a fix for an exploit and they don't want everyone rushing to use it before the patch.

Stop complaining.

Or maybe Cryptic has an understanding at last that there are guys who have !! 20+ !! prototype borg salvage in their inventory but never received any prototype tech and they add an option to exchange those (atm) usless stuff to something useful.
God... at least my shuttle is now fully equipped with MK XII Borg weapons dont think thats intended?

Well but if thats the reason some would NOT sell the salvage for dilthium before the patch which seems to be the only use of salvage atm.

Couldn't help but notice that when I tried to log on earlier this morning (645AM EST) the shard was down. Checked here to see if it was known why and I find it is going to be shut down again today! (10-11AM EST)

Really this doesn't appear as a good thing and leads one to start wondering when it is going down and we find out your starting over and we have lost everything. I hope to avoid this from happening your protecting your customers with back ups??? Getting nervous about this guys!

i so wish they would do that i have 2 prototype borg salvage i can do anything with

Stop complaining. TY Cryptic staff for all your hard work. Beers are on me.....well not literally, I'll buy....

I doubt it would be that easy if Cryptic would ever do it.
I reckon regarding to the rarity of the tech drops that it will be a 10:1 or 5:1 trade not a 1:1.
