We will be bringing the Tribble server down for maintenance to apply a new update.
ST.20.20120603a.3

EDIT: 6/8, added a known issue.

General:

• The tab for Bridge Officers purchased in the C-Store is once again present for Klingons.
• Resolved the issue with excessive bloom for locations in space.
• Added a basic ambient sound to the tailor screen so it isn’t dead silent.
• Lieutenant C’grash on DS9 will no longer be hostile to KDF players.
• The minimap and map image for Earth Spacedock has been updated.
• Updated the bridge on the Odyssey to resolve some slight texture issues.
• Updated the hull icon for the Vor’Cha variants and the K't’inga.
• Resolved more instances when KDF players might have seen an incorrect Bridge Officer portrait in a dialog.
• Resolved issues with purchasing additional Foundry project slots.
• Explosions from grenades or mines no longer cause combat rolling to malfunction.

Duty Officers:

• Slot icons on "Repel Jem'Hadar Raid on Local Installation" assignment are no longer missing.
• Handcrafted Privateer Ferengi duty officers are now properly tradeable.
• Fixed grammatical issues in outcome text of "Infiltrate Oron Syndicate" assignment.
• Significantly increased number of special rewards, particle traces and Strange Artifacts, for critical outcomes of Recover/Appropriate assignments in hostile sector blocks.
  • Sirius for KDF and Omega Leonis sector for Fed.
• Increased required Contraband inputs for "Turn Over Confiscated Contraband" from 3 to 5 and increased the duration of the assignment from 2 hours to 4 hours.
• Significantly increased damage and health of consumable deployable space turrets and torpedo platforms gained from duty officer assignments.
• Increased Transphasic Torpedo and Mine shield penetration from 20% to 40%.
• Updated Nausicaan Assault Squad Officer defector duty officer who was incorrectly marked as one rank lower than his actual rank.
  • This also was erroneously making him available for Personnel Reassignments.

No-Win Scenario:

• The two nebulae that were causing performance issues have been removed.
• Placeholder V.O. has been replaced with Starfleet and KDF versions.
  • By the way if you are having trouble hearing these, boost the volume for “Notifications Volume” in your Options-Audio U.I.
    • Boosting Options-Audio-“Voice Volume” won’t affect the majority of the voice updates in the mission.
• You receive the rewards for this mission after every wave automatically.
  • At the moment they are set to a small amount of dilithium.
    • The amount of dilithium you are rewarded depends on the wave you have just completed.
  • The rewards have not been updated yet in this version.
  • Rewards will be updated before this mission goes to Holodeck, and they will include the “Fleet Marks” mentioned in the Massively article.
• The mission is available to players any time they wish to group up and play.
  • There will also be scheduled events that boost the rewards if the mission is completed during that specific time window.
• Mission Start Up has been changed slightly.
  • The mission was originally set to start after everyone on the team had signaled the transport.
  • The mission now requires only one person to signal the transport to begin.
    • After the transport has been signaled there is a 60 second timer before the first wave begins.
      • You can see this timer in the mission tracker start to count down after the transport has been signaled.
• Mission Difficulty / Expectations:
  • Wave 1 of the mission is now where Wave 4 of the mission was previously in the difficulty curve.
  • Wave 1 through Wave 5 – are designed for random PUGs through the PVE Queue.
    • The expectation is that the mission will take these types of teams 15-20 min and the rewards per wave will be adjusted to reflect this.
    • Completing Wave 3 – Pretty much everyone who plays.
    • Completing Wave 4 – 60- 70% of Random PUG groups on Holodeck.
    • Completing Wave 5 – 25-35% of Random PUG groups
      • Basically a little harder than your normal Elite STF Mission.
    • While the mission is on Tribble it will be balanced so that Waves 1-5 are as close to the metrics above as possible.
  • Wave 6 through Wave 10 – These waves are designed for pre-made teams and people that play together often.
    • They exist to provide a challenge to players / teams who want that extra amount of challenge.
    • These waves are not about the rewards, in fact it will be much better for the players, time-wise, to start again after Wave 5 if you are only going for the “Fleet Marks”.
    • These last 5 waves are made specifically for pre-made / very experienced teams all using the best possible gear available.
    • While the mission is on Tribble, it will be balanced so that Waves 6 -7 are where even the most experienced players in STO start to have difficulty completing these Waves.
    • A very good team who plays together often should have trouble getting past Wave 6 and few if any should get past Wave 7 while on Tribble.
      • GLHF Sad Pandas.
• Beginning with Wave 4 a new enemy type starts to showing up with each Wave, a Bio-Neural Warhead Platform.
  • This new turret platform fires anywhere from 1-4 Bio-Neural Torpedoes that are targeted on the Transport.
  • The turrets are placed 20K from the Transport so there is time to destroy the Torpedoes before they reach the Transport and detonate.
    • In fact this is exactly what you will want someone on your team to be doing as it only takes roughly two torpedoes to destroy the Transport completely.
  • The Turret and the Torpedoes it fires are smart though and will protect themselves, so be prepared.
  • Warhead Platforms will start showing up with Wave 4, with one Platform firing 2 Torpedoes at a time.
    • By Wave10 there will be four Platforms firing 4 Torpedoes at a time.
  • This is a new enemy type, so it may need to be tweaked a few times before the mission goes to Holodeck.
    • Please leave feedback in the thread as Gozer will be paying close attention.
• The "attrition" timer for the player death penalty has been removed.
  • This means if you hit the 3:00 timer your respawn time will continue to be 3:00 until the mission is complete.
• Feedback thread: http://forums.startrekonline.com/sho...d.php?t=271569

"The message displayed when you grain a new level has been updated with the new level names and numbers."

When do we grain levels? :p

about time.... this could get fun

I don't even know what you're talking about. You just totally made up that typo.

*whistles innocently*

Just before harvesting dilithium, I suppose.

...all good fixes but I was hoping that this was the update where we get to play with fleet starbases on tribble. Oh well, maybe next time!

wow, that is a great list to say Thank You for the Fixes to over 9000 times.

Gah I must of had a copy/paset fail *sighs* it's been one of those days
