Just noticed today my same exactly configured Odyssey that I've been using since launch day, now suddenly damages way easier than before. Anyone else think the same thing? "All" NPC's damage me so much more than before it's quite stupid, somehow the patch did something, it needs to be fixed because this is just ridiculous. I haven't changed a thing with my spec or ship..

I just did a borg sector space encounter with my Odyssey, and handled everything fine. I even did one group solo. I generally find the sector space encounters to be tougher than others.

What were you fighting? Sometimes what works well for one set of enemies isn't so good with another.

Same things I usually fight, Borg NPC's and the NPC's from the episodes, which I replay regularly, there is a significantly noticeable difference, like one 3 torpedo volley from a D7 not only rips through my shields but now drops my hull down to 47% when it used to just drop my shields. Another instance was dying maybe once or twice against Borg in elite STF, and now dying 10+ times... Somehow the Ody is gimped, nothing has changed from my side of things, yet everything I play against does so much damage to me.

Gotta agree... I use to take on mobs no prob and barely weakened my shields and now I find my shields are dropping fast even against the weakest of enemies! I bought the new Tac Oddy to replace my Excelsior, but maybe time to go back to my Excelsior anyway. I also seem to do less damage now too...

same here! I wonder what is so bad to change from maco MK XI to maco MK XII Shield, now i know why

Well. I'm sure this is a bug, I know the devs tend to break things and unnecessarily break/nerf ships, but I'm sure this is an accident, because what kind of joke would it be to have the flagship of the Federation getting its shields and hull torn through like they're made of wet paper. I highly recommend filing a ticket about it, I already have, and to any mods that may be reading this, FIX IT!, revert the C-store Ody to how it was before the patch and fix the error/nerf, I didn't pay 50 bucks for this crap.

EDIT:, I'm sure it's a bug now, as the problem seems to be getting progressively worse. My ship appears to be able to take less and less damage over the course of the evening. The shields are wet paper, and the hull is made of glass it seems. This is just weird...

Are you perchance playing it on a difficulty higher than normal and not bothering to repair when you die? Or not repairing after ESTFs?

Did you:
-Change your ships energy settings from shields to engine or weapons?
-Did you retrain bridge officers?
-Did you change your ships shields

And indeed; check your settings, perhaps it changed from normal to advance or elite? If you do the Borg PVE's; perhaps you clicked elite for a change?

Difficulty currently set to Normal

Energy settings are same as always were: 125, 80, 44, 44

Bridge officers are same as I used with the free Odyssey and the Excelsior.

Weapons all antiproton beams [CritH][Dmg]X2 and one forward and aft torpedoes.

Shields are same ones though less power since the Field Generator got nerfed.. Though even after that I was kicking butt without any major loss of shields and no loss of shields really against weak enemies.

Absolutely nothing has changed yet suddenly my ship sucks! Longer to destroy ships, way weaker shields, hull like tissue paper even with 54,602 hull, 53.9% bonus defense, 40 to 46% damage resistance for everything, and 199.2% hull repair rate! Also hazard emitters active and emergency power to weapons! My weapons power never drops below 100.

Also my crew goes from 2500 to about 500 within seconds against even the most pathetic of enemies that only take a few shots to kill!

Makes no sense as only been like this since last update of two.

For me, I only play elite, and I know exactly what I'm doing. The Ody has been changed, and it needs to be fixed and put back to the way it was before.

Be sure to file a support ticket about this, it's important.
