As part of our upcoming content release, from May 10th at 8am PT to June 9th at 10am PT (for PC Captains) and later this year for Console Captains, a special event looms: Heart of the Storm. This new event will give an opportunity to drive back the Terrans and claim an epic reward – the Kuumaarke Visionary Ground Set. Read on to find out more about the event and its rewards. Event Progress Participating in this event grants daily progress towards the Grand Prize: The four-piece Kuumaarke Visionary Ground Set. Obtaining the Kuumaarke Visionary Ground Set requires 20 daily progress, and Captains can earn daily progress once per account per day by playing either the new episode or Task Force Operation released this season, or any of the other episodes or Task Force Operations in the event. In total, four available missions and four available TFOs reward daily progress. They are as follows: Episode: Firewall Episode: Red Shift Episode: Blue Shift (New!) Episode: The Calling (New!) TFO: Operation: Wolf TFO: Iupiter Irratus TFO: Forged in Fire (New!) TFO: Counterpoint   Once Captains have obtained 20 daily progress on their account, they can claim the Kuumaarke Visionary Ground Set. After that, the event will still be playable, granting a scaling Dilithium reward that begins at 8,000 Dilithium Ore and scales by 1,000 Dilithium Ore for every day you participate in the event, up to a cap of 50,000 Dilithium Ore per day. Captains will also have the option to purchase their remaining progress in the event with Zen. The price for this buyout will be pro-rated, based on the amount of progress a Captain has completed. The Kuumaarke Visionary Ground Set  Little is known about the Kuumaarke of the mirror universe. Her technology is at once impressive and distressing, soft-spoken and megalomaniacal. The lightning weapon is capable of significant electrical damage, and it restores the user’s shields and deals bonus damage when used on low Health Foes. Even more potential is stored in its tertiary attack: a shockwave which converts the user’s shields into electric damage for and a dramatic bonus to Kit Performance for the user’s next Kit Module (or Symphony of Lightning – see below). The armor contains an array of backup capacitors, able to restore full power to the Personal Shield Generator at a moment’s notice. The PSG itself, when its shields fall in combat, automatically deploys a drone to provide an invulnerability field around the user for a brief period of time. Lastly, the set contains a Kit Module, which deploys the same drone in a more aggressive role, dealing electrical damage over time to nearby Foes, with bonus damage for enemies with high remaining Health. The machinations only become more dire when combined:     2 pieces: Electromagnetic Force Majeure Improves Kit Performance Improves Maximum Health based on a percentage of Maximum Shield Capacity When Shields are full in combat, drains 25% of current Shield Capacity to provide a large boost to Kit Performance for the next Kit Module or Symphony of Lightning used       3 pieces: Active: Symphony of Lightning  Marks up to 8 Foes in a cone in front of the user, then strikes a random mark Foe with lightning several times, plus an additional number of times based on Kit Performance. Foes struck repeatedly take slightly reduced damage per additional bolt.        4 pieces: Power Overwhelming Further improves Kit Performance Improves Electromagnetic Force Majeure’s bonus to Health Improves Electromagnetic Force Majeure’s bonus to Kit Performance when draining shields Improves shield recovery by using the weapon on low health targets    This item also unlocks unique Mirror Lukari costume pieces for you to use with your character, as seen above! This is a special event for our next content drop, and is not part of an Event Campaign. We hope you enjoy this special event, Captains, and we'll see you in game.   Jon Herlache Systems Designer Cryptic Studios   .share-footer a { margin: 20px 10px 10px 0; background: url(https://pwimages-a.akamaihd.net/arc/d7/af/d7afaaa14e96d0d973f76157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } .share-footer .TI { background-position: 0 20%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .TW { background-position: 0 60%; } .share-footer .FO { background-position: 0 80%; } .FB:hover { background-position: 100% 0%; } .TI:hover { background-position: 100% 20%; } .YT:hover { background-position: 100% 40%; } .TW:hover { background-position: 100% 60%; } .FO:hover { background-position: 100% 80%; } .share-footer a:hover { opacity: 1; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } $(document).ready( function() { $('.show-lightbox').click(function() { var $el = $(this); var link = $el.data().lightbox; $.colorbox({href: link, maxWidth: '90%', maxHeight: '90%', scalePhotos: true}); }); }); .headerimage { border: 2px inset rgba(255, 255, 255, .05); border-radius: 2em; box-shadow: 5px 5px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3); -webkit-transition: all 500ms ease; -moz-transition: all 500ms ease; -ms-transition: all 500ms ease; -o-transition: all 500ms ease; transition: all 500ms ease; }

Still striving to get the greatest performance out of your equipment? This weekend will be the perfect time to apply Tech Upgrades to your gear, as we’re doubling the amount of Technology Points earned from each one applied! From May 3rd at 8AM PDT (17:00 CEST) to May 10th at 10AM PDT (19:00 CEST), every Tech Upgrade used will apply twice as many Technology Points toward your next Upgrade! This in turn reduces the amount of Dilithium that must be spent to reach each Upgrade threshold, allowing Captains additional chances to attain both Mark and Rarity increases on their favored load outs.   .share-footer a { margin: 20px 10px 10px 0; background: url(https://pwimages-a.akamaihd.net/arc/d7/af/d7afaaa14e96d0d973f76157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } .share-footer .TI { background-position: 0 20%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .TW { background-position: 0 60%; } .share-footer .FO { background-position: 0 80%; } .FB:hover { background-position: 100% 0%; } .TI:hover { background-position: 100% 20%; } .YT:hover { background-position: 100% 40%; } .TW:hover { background-position: 100% 60%; } .FO:hover { background-position: 100% 80%; } .share-footer a:hover { opacity: 1; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } $(document).ready( function() { $('.show-lightbox').click(function() { var $el = $(this); var link = $el.data().lightbox; $.colorbox({href: link, maxWidth: '90%', maxHeight: '90%', scalePhotos: true}); }); }); .headerimage { border: 2px inset rgba(255, 255, 255, .05); border-radius: 2em; box-shadow: 5px 5px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3); -webkit-transition: all 500ms ease; -moz-transition: all 500ms ease; -ms-transition: all 500ms ease; -o-transition: all 500ms ease; transition: all 500ms ease; }

You’re all worthless and weak! —Admiral Leeta of the Terran Empire   As part of our story involving the Terran Empire, we’ve revisited some older Mirror Universe content and brought you… a few new ways to feel the wrath of the Empire. In an update and reimagining of the TFO Assault on Terok Nor, we’ve built a new experience that re-imagines the attack on the Mirror space station. Battle on the updated ground map from Deep Space 9, in an assault that takes you through the cargo bay, across the Promenade, and into ore processing. You’ll face down Terran foes while protecting infiltrators who take over Terok Nor’s security systems, fighting off the station’s toughest defenders, and finally confronting Leeta with all of the powers of the Pah-Wraiths at her command! We’ve smoothed out the missions goals to make it more straightforward, and added UI elements to help you keep track of your progress. The final confrontation with Leeta should be more memorable: Hijack the technology of the station to temporarily strip her of her connection to the Pah-Wraiths so that you can fight her, but be ready for her to explode in a blaze of fury when her powers come back! You’ll race from level to level as you try to rescue captured Coalition operatives and follow the directions of resistance fighter Rae’Yeet while dodging the flames of the Kosst Amojan. We’ll see you there soon—try not to get burned!

General:   Resolved an issue that could prevent Discovery captains from being able to start the Kobali Front.  Resolved an issue that was causing the Fleet Project "Weekly Project: Mark Boost" (all ranks) to not work with several types of Reputation Marks.  Resolved an issue that was causing Disruptor and Plasma Quad Cannons to deal Phaser damage while under the effects of Surgical Strikes.  All items obtained in Lvl 65 Captain Boost packs can now be recycled in the replicator.  The 3-pc set bonus in the 8472 Counter-Command space set now passively destroys Undine fluidic space bubbles nearby, instead of only on use of activated power.  Resolved an issue during the “Counterpoint” Task Force Operation where hailing a contact could force a Captain out of cloak.   The wingtip canons of the Kor Bird of Prey will now be appropriately symmetrical if you swap to them in the advanced ship customization UI.

General:   Resolved an issue that was allowing use of the Tier 5 Reputation Buyout tokens found in the Legendary Jem'Hadar Captain Bundle on characters that had already achieved Tier 5 or higher.  This error would result in Captains ending up in a bad state, which we will endeavor to manually repair in a future patch.  Future versions of the Tier 5 Reputation Buyout Tokens from this Captain Bundle will be Account Bound, so they can be applied to other characters on your account if the Boosted Character has already reached Tier 5 in the appropriate Reputations.   Use of these requires Level 50+.  Resolved an issue that was preventing the Legendary Vanguard Pilot Attack Ship [T6] from appearing in the Ship Vendor.  Resolved an issue with the "Complete the Swarm queue 5 times" objective, where doing so on Advanced or Elite difficulties did not grant progress toward completion.  Resolved an issue that was preventing the Polaron Quad Cannons from being upgraded.  Resolved an issue that was allowing the Damage Immunity granted by Pilot Maneuvers to ignore the Immunity Lockout that is standard to all Damage Immunity abilities.  Pilot Maneuvers may still be activated during this lockout period, but will no longer grant Damage Immunity if you are affected by the lockout. 

The entire Galaxy is going to Red Alert! We’re launching a one week version of the Galactic Red Alert! From April 26th at 8am PT (17:00 CEST) – May 10th at 10am PT (19:00 CEST) all of our Red Alert events will be returning at once, as the Final Frontier is caught in a massive invasion on all sides. During this event, you’ll be able to play the following content: Borg Red Alert Elachi Red Alert Tholian Red Alert Tzenkethi Red Alert* Nakuhl Red Alert   *Please note: As the only Red Alert with a fail condition, the Tzenkethi Red Alert will not grant daily bonus progress if you fail the TFO. The fail condition will likely be removed in future runs of this event. In addition to their usual rewards, these Task Force Operations will also grant daily bonus progress. You’ll receive one Daily Progress each day for completing one Red Alert – doesn’t matter which one – on any character on your account. After you receive five daily progress, you’ll be rewarded with a package containing the following, once per account: An Ultimate Tech Upgrade A Specialization Point An Experimental Ship Upgrade   You can also purchase this Grand Prize on the events page, if you’d prefer. The price will be prorated as you earn Daily Progress, becoming cheaper the more you play. If you earn, or purchase, the event’s Grand Prize, you can still complete Red Alerts to earn Bonus Progress. Completing a Red Alert TFO each day will grant a bonus amount of Dilithium Ore, beginning at 8,000 and increasing by 1,000 for each completion thereafter. Red Alert Task Force Operations are available to Captains of level 50 or higher. Head out and defend the Galaxy, Captains! Go to Red Alert!   .share-footer a { margin: 20px 10px 10px 0; background: url(https://pwimages-a.akamaihd.net/arc/d7/af/d7afaaa14e96d0d973f76157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } .share-footer .TI { background-position: 0 20%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .TW { background-position: 0 60%; } .share-footer .FO { background-position: 0 80%; } .FB:hover { background-position: 100% 0%; } .TI:hover { background-position: 100% 20%; } .YT:hover { background-position: 100% 40%; } .TW:hover { background-position: 100% 60%; } .FO:hover { background-position: 100% 80%; } .share-footer a:hover { opacity: 1; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } $(document).ready( function() { $('.show-lightbox').click(function() { var $el = $(this); var link = $el.data().lightbox; $.colorbox({href: link, maxWidth: '90%', maxHeight: '90%', scalePhotos: true}); }); }); .headerimage { border: 2px inset rgba(255, 255, 255, .05); border-radius: 2em; box-shadow: 5px 5px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3); -webkit-transition: all 500ms ease; -moz-transition: all 500ms ease; -ms-transition: all 500ms ease; -o-transition: all 500ms ease; transition: all 500ms ease; }

General:   Resolved an issue that was preventing Klingon Captains that had unlocked Cross-Faction Starships from purchasing the Deep Space Nine Pack on the Z-Store.  Resolved an issue that was preventing the passive bonuses on the Agony Redistributor console from applying when equipped.  Resolved an issue causing "Synthetic Good Fortune" to apply the incorrect number of times when used with multi-target AOE abilities such as Clean Getaway and Subspace Boom.   This trait should only ever add 1 instance of its buff per power activation, instead of 1 per affected foe.  Updated the "Strategic Maneuvering" Cruiser Command so that it also boosts a ship's base flight speed, to provide a more accurate overall increase.  Updated ability descriptions on all ranks of "Security Escort" to remove references to deprecated skills. 

For a limited time, from April 14th at 8am PT (17:00 CEST) to May 3rd at 10am PT (19:00 CEST), when you make a new Jem'hadar character, you'll be able to gain all the bonuses of becoming a special Gamma Recruit. Earn great rewards and unlock account-wide benefits for all of your other characters! Don't forget, the Dominion Transponder for Jem'hadar has been updated with some new goals, and a few altered as well: Requirements for specialization points have been reduced from 90 to 45. If you've already earned 45 specialization points on an existing Jem'hadar Recruit, you're eligible to claim the reward immediately. Requirements for reaching Tier 5 in Reputations have been reduced to a total of 10 Reputations, among all currently-existing Reputations. If you've already reached Tier 5 in 10 Reputations on an existing Jem'hadar Recruit, you're eligible to claim the reward immediately. There's a new goal to reach Tier 6 in a Reputation. Completing this goal rewards you with one T6x Ship Upgrade Token and an account unlock: Each of your other characters may claim their choice of one Ultimate Tech Upgrade (Engineering, Science, or Shields). Since the Jem'hadar are the Dominion's first line of defense against the Hur'q, there's a new goal to complete the Swarm TFO five times, with a reward of 100 Gamma Marks and one Germanium Carapace Fragment. All rewards that give marks now include up-to-date marks for all Reputations.   Remember, this Recruitment event runs for a limited time.

Yet even with some focused breeding and training, there remains room for improvement. Coming very soon, captains interested in the Dominion experience will be able to bypass a portion of that further progress by instantly boosting one Jem’Hadar soldier directly to level 65, and gaining special equipment and benefits unique to their experience, by way of obtaining the Legendary Dominion Captain Bundle. This valuable bundle includes all of the following features: Immediately boost one Dominion character to Level 65! Equipment, services, and other resources sufficient to allow this newly-boosted character to be ready to enter the high-level content of Star Trek Online Includes T5 Reputation Buyouts for “Gamma Task Force” and “Competitive Wargames” Account-Wide access to the Legendary Jem’Hadar Vanguard Pilot Attack Ship [T6] This immense bundle will be available for the price of 9,000 Zen, with a special introductory offer of 50% OFF for a limited time, until 4/28 at 10am PT! This bundle will release on 4/14 on PC and is scheduled to appear shortly thereafter on Console platforms. We acknowledge that there is a difference in the relative value of elevating a Jem’Hadar character to 65, due to their already accelerated starting experience. The pricing of this bundle, and what types of additional items are included (and which are not) compared to other factions’ Legendary Boosts have been adjusted to reflect this. Keep reading for complete details of what to expect from this value-packed opportunity! Advance Immediately to Max Level! Appearing as part of this bundle is a Max Level Boost which you can use to immediately set a character to max level. This powerful Boost is yours to use as you see fit, provided a few restrictions are met: The character to be boosted must belong to the Dominion faction. The intended character must have completed the Dominion Starting Experience, and spoken with Odo to choose their Primary Faction Affiliation. You must have at least one character on your account that has already reached Level 65. Provided these restrictions are met, the process is as simple as claiming the Special Item unlocked by your purchase of the Bundle, and applying it to the character of your choosing. This will immediately elevate that captain to their highest available rank, and place an Equipment Bundle into their inventory. Ready to Serve the Founders! After being boosted to max rank, your newly-elevated Dominion captain will find themselves in possession of an equipment pack begging to be opened. This bundle-within-a-bundle represents an incredible value of high quality gear and other resources, ready to put you on the path to immediately enjoying what life at Max Level has to offer! This pack contains all of the following: 1,000,000 Energy Credits 1,000,000 Expertise 250,000 Reputation Dilithium Vouchers 5x Specialization Qualifications (one for each Specialization) Use these to immediately train the Bridge Officer(s) of your choice in the Specialization(s) you desire! 5x Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrades (no Dilithium cost to apply) 36x Inventory Slots 12x Bank Slots 6x Bridge Officer Slots 2x Starship Slots A FULL SUITE of Very Rare (Purple) Mk XIV Ground Equipment and Space Equipment Includes *all* basic Kit Modules for your chosen profession, and many different options for outfitting your ship and crew! All weaponry supports the Dominion use of their trademark Polaron energy type, and includes ground weapon visuals distinctly belonging to the Dominion faction. Also includes an exclusive Jem’Hadar Kar’takin unavailable anywhere else! 6x Bridge Officer Equipment Bundles Since all Jem’Hadar captains are already outfitted with a talented crew of their fellow soldiers, we have included just the essentials to fully outfit them as you see fit. Each pack contains Mk XIV Purple Body Armor, Personal Shield, and one Jem'Hadar Weapon of the player's CHOICE from this list: Jem'Hadar Polaron Dual Pistols Jem'Hadar Polaron Beam Pistol Jem'Hadar Polaron Compression Jem'Hadar Polaron Stun Pistol Jem'Hadar Polaron Split Beam Rifle Jem'Hadar Polaron High Density Beam Rifle Jem'Hadar Polaron Sniper Rifle Dominion Science Bridge Officer – Weyoun (Clone) One of the Founders’ most well-respected servants can now join your crew! This updated template of a Male Vorta has been specially-bred to be more combat-ready than most of his peers, and comes with the following special Traits: Superior Creative (Increased Kit Performance) Superior Pacifist (Reduced Threat, Increased Healing) Telekinetic (Increased Effectiveness of Knock, Hold, and Root) Authority of the Founders (unique) Space: +7.5% All Weapon Damage +1% Critical Chance +2.5% Critical Severity Ground: Occasionally distributes Ketracel-white to Jem’Hadar away team members, automatically refreshing their boosts (max once per 10 min)   ** All items received from this bundle are Bind-to-Character-on-Pickup, and have no Energy Credit value if discarded.   Legendary Jem’Hadar Vanguard Pilot Attack Ship [T6] Let your Honored First defend the Dominion in style in a never-before-released Legendary Starship, and unlock access to this incredible starship for all characters on your account. This modern update to the classic Dominion design has finally joined the ranks of the Vanguard, and aims to take its rightful place as the pinnacle of its family of agile and fierce attack ships. Like other Legendary Starships, this vessel is meant to represent the pinnacle of an entire line of vessels. It will include – in a single starship – all of the Consoles, Starship Traits, and Costumes, from the entire line of Jem’Hadar Attack Ships. This includes: Jem’Hadar Attack Ship [T5] Jem’Hadar Strike Ship [T6] Jem’Hadar Recon Ship [T6] This ship also has a small added bonus of being added to a very short list of ships that unlock a player’s ability to obtain “Jem’Hadar Attack Ship” and “Jem’Hadar Vanguard Gunboats” hangar pets, provided the player also owns a Jem’Hadar ship with a hangar bay. Purchase of this Bundle will unlock the ability for all characters on your account to claim and fly this versatile cruiser, and will be the first Vanguard starship to be released without a Faction restriction. Starship Stats and Specifications Since the days of first contact with the Dominion, and throughout the course of multiple conflicts that led eventually to the Dominion War, the formidable Jem'Hadar Attack Ship has earned its reputation as a challenger whose capabilities outmatch its relatively small size. Their adversaries have learned to never underestimate what feats a trained crew of Jem'Hadar can accomplish from the bridge of one of these graceful and deadly starships. The Legendary Jem'Hadar Vanguard Pilot Attack Ship comes with the following features from previous ships within its lineage: Console - Universal - Dominion Defense Screen Upon reaching level 5 in this starship's mastery, you will unlock the "Go For The Kill" Starship Trait. This trait can be found on a previous version of this starship. Upon reaching level 6 in this starship's mastery, you will unlock the "Vanguard Specialists" Starship Trait for all characters on your account! While this Trait is slotted, all of the following Specialist Bridge Officer Abilities will have their recharge times reduced by 33% of their base recharge time: Surgical Strikes (Intel), Suppression Barrage (Command), Reroute Reserves to Weapons (Pilot), Recursive Shearing (Temporal Operative), Exceed Rated Limits (Miracle Worker) Stats: Tier: 6 Faction: Any (no Tier-6 Mastery Unlock required!) Required Rank: Must complete the Tutorial Hull Modifier: 1.2 Shield Modifier: 1.0 Fore Weapons: 5 Aft Weapons: 2 Device Slots: 2 Bridge Officer Stations: 1x Commander Tactical / Pilot, 1x Lieutenant Engineering, 1x Ensign Science, 1x Lt Commander Universal, 1x Lt Commander Universal / Intel Consoles: 5 Tactical, 4 Engineering, 2 Science (scales with level) Base Turn Rate: 20 Impulse Modifier: 0.22 Inertia: 70 +15 Weapon Power, +5 Engine Power Console - Universal - Dominion Defense Screen Can Equip Dual Cannons Pilot Maneuvers Experimental Weapon Slot, equipped with Tachyon Agitator "Vanguard Wingmen" Ship Mechanic Starship Mastery Package (Escort) Precise Weapon Systems (+Accuracy) Tactical Maneuvers (+Defense) Enhanced Weapon Systems (+All Damage) Devastating Weaponry (+Critical Chance) Go For The Kill (Starship Trait) Vanguard Specialists (Account Unlocked Starship Trait) Admiralty Stats: Eng: 38 Sci: 20 Tac: 59 Special: Ignores +/- SCI from Events   Account Unlocked Starship Trait – Vanguard Specialists While this Trait is slotted, all of the following Specialist Bridge Officer Abilities that provide Weapon Modification Abilities will have their recharge times reduced by 33% of their base recharge time: Surgical Strikes (Intel) Reduced from 30 sec to 20 sec Suppression Barrage (Command) Reduced from 45 sec to 30 sec Reroute Reserves to Weapons (Pilot) Reduced from 30 sec to 20 sec Recursive Shearing (Temporal Operative) Reduced from 40 sec to 26.4 sec Exceed Rated Limits (Miracle Worker) Reduced from 30 sec to 20 sec   Experimental Weapon – Tachyon Agitator Dominion weaponry has always had a knack for undermining and manipulating the protective energies used by starships, and this experimental armament is no exception. By exciting a localized tachyon resonance, the targeted foe's shields will quickly drain over time. The resulting energy cascade will also interfere with the subsystem components of the enemy vessel, causing electrical damage and occasional subsystem failures. 360' targeting arc Fires once per 5 sec Drains All Shield Facings over 5 sec Each sec, 33% chance: Additional Electrical Damage (ignores shields) and Drains All Subsystem Power Levels for 5 sec   Special Equipment – Quad Polaron Cannons The Dominion has taken a page from the Federation’s playbook after their experiences during the Dominion War, and developed an analog to the super-charged weaponry found on one of their most noteworthy adversaries from that dark time. These special weapons hit harder than standard Dual Heavy Cannons, but drain Engine Subsystem Power when firing (alongside their Weapon Power drain). They also have the standard Polaron energy proc. They will come as Level-less on the ship, but may be upgraded if the player is above level 60, at which point they may be upgraded normally.   Jump-start your career as an Honored First of the Dominion!  

General:  Resolved an issue with the Merian Command Science Dreadnought (T6) console that was causing it to have an incorrect cooldown.    Resolved an issue with the Merian Command Science Dreadnought (T6) console that would cause 2 stacks of damage resistance to apply for .1 sec every tick.  Resolved an issue that was preventing Section 31 Drone Squadron hangar pets from benefiting from any special firing modes.  Added "Attack Pattern Delta" to the list of abilities that trigger "Scientific Bulwark".

Team up with fellow Captains to do as much good as possible before you are overrun by the Synths.  Captains that earn 14 or more Daily Progress may then claim Event Grand Prize – Martian Mining Laser (ground weapon).  For more information, please visit the “First Contact Day!” blog at: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/xbox/star-trek-online/news/detail/11512753-first-contact-day%21    First Contact Day Event Rewards:   First Contact Day Badge Box:   Completing either of the participating activities once per day, per account, will earn you a First Contact Day Badge Box.   Opening this box will grant players the opportunity to choose between 17 Comm Badges as account-wide unlocks.  First Contact Day Event Grand Prize:   Upon reaching 14 days of Progress, you will become eligible to claim the Grand Prize! This includes the following items:  A600 Android (Combat Pet)  First Contact Day Bundle – contains all of the following:  1x Captain Specialization Point (cannot reclaim)  25,000 Dilithium Ore (cannot reclaim)  “Launch Toy Rocket” Social Device (Account Unlock)  Holo-Emitter – Phoenix Shuttle (Account Unlock)  Bonus Rewards:  After claiming the Grand Prize, you will unlock the option of earning additional Dilithium Ore each day, beginning at 8,000 Dilithium Ore for the first day’s completion.   Zen Buyout Option:   For players interested in instantly completing the First Contact Day Event, we will be offering an updated method for buying out.  Within the new Event UI, an option will be presented that allows you to purchase the remaining progress that you need, for a scaling amount of Zen.    Intelligence Specialization Updates:   "Gather Intel" / “Active Sensor Arrays”  Now takes 6 stacks of Penetrating Scan to cause Vulnerability on any rank of ship, instead of varying by rank.  Duration of Vulnerability increased from 15 sec to 30 sec.  Stacks of Penetrating Scan will not be applied while a target has Vulnerability, or if any Expose ability is presently active.  All "Expose" abilities now immediately expire any existing Vulnerability (in addition to other effects).  NPCs no longer benefit from a lockout period after Vulnerability expires, and may instead immediately start rebuilding stacks of Penetrating Scan. Players now benefit from a 30 sec lockout (increased from 15 sec).  "Evade Target Lock"  Base Duration of Disable/Untargetable increased from 1/2/3 to 2/3/4, and now scales with Control Expertise.  The duration of the Disable is now subject to Control Resistances of the affected foe.  Replaced Accuracy penalty with a Damage penalty. Affected Foes now suffer reduced damage against the user of this ability, instead of just missing them more frequently. (Their damage output against other targets is unaffected.)  Durations of all ranks are now normalized at 20 seconds.  "Intelligence Team"  Threat Reduction values at all ranks have been doubled.  If "Threatening Stance" is not active on the recipient of this ability, this effect is doubled again.  Targeting Stealth values are now consistent across all ranks (equal to previous Rank III values).  Defense buff increased from 10/15/20 to 30/40/50.  Added a Perception Buff to recipient which scales with rank.  "Subspace Beacon"  All ranks now have the same distance limit of 20km.  Added brief period of "Untargetable" after Teleport.  Teleport will now reset all Threat, when "Threatening Stance" is not active.  Added a Bridge Officer Cooldown reduction to the Teleport, which scales with rank.  Added clarifying descriptive text: "The beacon will automatically self-destruct if you are too far from its location. However, there is no cooldown triggered on the ability if this occurs."  Fixed long-standing errors with how multiple ranks of this power would interact with one another. Each Rank now utilizes an entirely separate set of checks, in order to allow a player to use multiple Beacons if they so choose. This change also resulted in the shared cooldown between ranks dropping from 60sec to 15sec.  "Electromagnetic Pulse Probe"  Flight Speed increased by 50% at all ranks  Added Electrical Damage to probe's pulses while in-transit to destination. Foes within 2km of probe will take some damage now.  Damage now scales with Particle Generators skill.  Disable durations now scale with Control Expertise skill.  Base duration of pulsing Disable (not final detonate) has been reduced, and benefits less from Control Expertise.  Probe will no longer detonate until at least 10 seconds have passed, even if launched at very close range.  This power is now labeled as a Control Bridge Officer Ability, and can interact with applicable effects and triggers such as Secondary Deflectors.  "Ionic Turbulence"  Projectile now travels to its destination approximately 3x as quickly.  Damage Resistance Debuff increased slightly at all ranks, and now scales higher with Auxiliary Power.  Speed Debuff now scales with Control Expertise skill.  This power is now labeled as a Control Bridge Officer Ability, and can interact with applicable effects and triggers such as Secondary Deflectors.  Fixed a series of errors with Rank II and III of this ability, that could cause the cloud to be centered on the user instead of their intended target.  "Kinetic Magnet"  Increased Kinetic Resistance debuff at all ranks, from 20/25/30 to 30/40/50  Durations of all ranks are now normalized at 15 seconds.  Number of Mines/Torpedoes that can be drawn to an affected target has been increased from 3 to 6.  The range at which Mines/Torpedoes can be drawn to an affected target has been increased from 5km to 10km.  Reminder: This ability no longer has a fragile damage cap (removed in a previous update).  "Surgical Strikes"  Increased damage multipliers at all ranks. Rank I went up by approximately 30%, Rank II by about 40%, and Rank III by about 50%.  Standardized the amount of Critical Chance and Accuracy at all ranks, to 30% of both.  Added a scaling amount of Critical Severity to all ranks. Rank I = +40, Rank II = +60, Rank III = +80.  "Transport Warhead"  Removed firing arc requirements.  Recharge time reduced from 30sec to 15sec.  For more information, please visit the “Intelligence Report” blog at: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11510983-intelligence-report      General:   Resolved an issue that was causing new characters to experience improper button mapping due to the sort order of starting powers.   This latest change will retroactively resolve Captains that were in this state.  All bridge officers which may be reclaimed are now restricted from being able to convert into Training Manuals.  Attack Pattern Lambda now has more consistent scaling across all 3 ranks, and provides an equal value of Perception Debuff to foes as the amount of Perception Buff it provides for the user (both of which are lower than previous values).  Resolved an issue that was causing Lock Trajectory to reset its cooldown after use.   This behavior should only be present when the Starship Trait "Improved Lock Trajectory" is slotted.  Resolved an issue that was allowing Agony Redistributor to interact with Confuse abilities in undesired ways.  Resolved an issue that was preventing Cryo Kit Modules from benefiting from the Breen Cryoshaper Kit Frame.    Cryo Mine Barrier (Engineering).   Cryogenic Stasis Field (Science).   Cryo Grenade (Tactical).  Resolved an issue where the Cold Damage improvement wasn't appearing from the Breen Cryoshaper Kit Frame.   Resolved an issue where Breen Cryoshaper armor failed to properly grant Willpower.  The Suliban Silik Flight Deck Assault Carrier [T6] now lists that it has 2 hangar bays in the Zen Store.   This is a description update only.     First Contact Day Celebration!  Join us for the First Contact Day Celebration starting on April 5th, 2022 and continuing until April 26th, 2022.  Three ways to earn Event Progress!   Compete with four other players to build and launch your very own Phoenix Rocket in the return of “First Contact Day Re-Enactment” TFO.  Join Seven-of-Nine and travel back to April 4th, 2063 in the “One Night in Bozeman” TFO.  “Synth Wave” returns to the First Contact Day event!

The Pathyeager was the brainchild of Starfleet’s first Pakled ship designer, Nahamcam [Nuh-ham-kam], inspired by the old Dominion War-era USS Yeager and the Clumpships of the 2380s. Splicing together the hull of an upscaled Ju’Day-class raider and a Pathfinder-class saucer, the intent was to create “…a strong starship capable of big booms and flying fast!” The Pathyeager is neither able to sustain fire in heavy combat nor is it particularly maneuverable, and as such was never intended for full production and was supposed to be more of a “test run” for Nahamcam before assigning her to a team. Suffice it to say, Nahamcam was promptly transferred to work on the Khitomer Alliance  – she is technically-capable (and then some) but she does default to Pakled tendencies when left to her own devices. A job where she can smash starship designs together forever should be right up her alley. Pathyeager Zero-Mission Science Vessel According to Utopia Planetia Shipyard records, the Pathyeager was submitted with several other designs for review, but a series of major bureaucratic errors led to it being approved and submitted for construction as a prototype, instead of being filed away with other less well-regarded blueprints, such as the Qwop-class constabulary scout ship, the Werdel-class strategic cruiser, and the ThunderCougarFalconBird. During its construction, several high-ranking Starfleet officers, including the head of the Corps of Engineers and several members of the admiralty, filed requests and complaints to UPSY about the resources being used to construct the Pathyeager – named as such by Nahamcam because it was “…like the Yeager but with a Pathfinder!” per official UPSY documents filed with the blueprint. By the time the errors were realized, the Pathyeager was largely complete and being kitted out. Deciding to cut their losses, Starfleet Command gave the Pathyeager an immediate full commission, instead of undergoing NX trials typical of new ships, and relegated it to hauling commodities and other less-than-hazardous bulk cargo around the Federation. This ship comes equipped with an Ensign Universal bridge officer station. Stats Tier: 6 Faction: Federation and Federation-Aligned Required Rank: Fleet Admiral Hull Modifier: 0.1 Shield Modifier: 0.1 Fore Weapons: good luck with that Aft Weapons: Pfffft. Right.

The current run of the Infinity Lock Box will soon be updated with the addition of an all-new Starship! Starting on April 5th, 2022, players on PC will have the chance to obtain and captain the Merian Command Science Dreadnought (T6). This rescue and support vessel serves an important role in the events that unfold in Season 4 of Star Trek: Discovery, and will soon be available in Star Trek Online for captains to add to their fleets. Continue reading further on for the full details on this new starship offering! Merian Command Science Dreadnought [T6] The United Federation of Planets is never going separate itself from its need for starships that are specialized in rescue and relief missions, and the Merian-class was well-known for serving this role with distinction even during the dark times following The Burn. Its specialized systems are focused on being a bulwark against harmful elements, be they enemy vessel, or naturally-occurring stellar phenomena, to provide protection and support for those most in need. This ship features a Commander Science / Command Bridge Officer specialist seat, and a Lt. Commander Engineering / Command Bridge Officer specialist seat. Ship Details: Tier: 6 Faction: Federation or Federation-Allied Required Rank: Must Complete the Tutorial Hull Modifier: 1.45 Shield Modifier: 1.1 Fore Weapons: 4 Aft Weapons: 3 Device Slots: 3 Bridge Officer Stations: 1x Lieutenant Tactical, 1x Lt.

In addition to providing peerless immunity to all forms of harmful Radiation, it also boosts Damage Resistance to all other forms of Energy Damage by a respectable amount. Incoming Energy Damage will also be converted into a 5km Radius pulse that deals Radiation Damage to Foes, and Restores Hull to Allies, based on the amount of incoming damage that triggered the pulse and was Resisted (prevented) by this shielding and any other forms of Damage Resistance your ship may have. The pulse has its limits. Healing it provides cannot exceed a value of 5,000 per pulse, and the Radiation Damage dealt to foes cannot exceed 10,000 per pulse. The field will not generate a pulse from Damage-over-Time effects, or incoming damage below a certain threshold. This console also provides a passive bonus to Radiation Damage, Radiation Damage Resistance Rating, and Hull Regeneration. This console mod may be used on any starship, in any console slot. Only one of these consoles may be equipped on a ship at a time. For 20 sec: Immunity to Radiation Damage +200 Energy Damage Resistance Rating Once per 0.5 sec, when receiving Energy Damage: Restore Hull to Self and Allies equal to the amount of Energy Damage Resisted Deal Radiation Damage to Foes equal to twice (2x) the amount of Energy Damage Resisted 5.0km Radius, Max 5 Foes + 5 Allies each pulse   Starship Trait – Scientific Bulwark Activating any Bridge Officer Ability which increases Damage Resistance Rating will also provide a boost to your Control Expertise, Drain Expertise, and Exotic Particle Generator skills. This bonus lasts 15 seconds, and may be stacked up to 5 times. When Triggered: +35 Control Expertise, Drain Expertise, and Exotic Particle Generator skills Abilities that will trigger this effect include: Attack Pattern Beta Attack Pattern Omega Auxiliary Power to Inertial Dampers Auxiliary Power to Structural Integrity Hazard Emitters Polarize Hull Hold Together Reroute Shields to Hull Containment   Hangar Pets - 32c. Federation Shuttles These fighter pets are unlocked in their stores listed below as long as you own this ship. Once unlocked, there are no equip restrictions, and may be used on any ship that has a hangar bay. The damage and healing dealt by their Special Ability will improve with Advanced and Elite rank versions of these Hangar Pets 32c.

General:   The Dilithium Ore given as part of the mission rewards associated with reaching Tier 5 in any Reputation have been replaced with Reputation Dilithium Vouchers.   This reward has always been intended to be used to purchase Reputation Equipment, which may still be done using these Vouchers, which also do not require Refinement before use.  All bridge officers which may be reclaimed are now restricted from being able to convert into Training Manuals.  Resolved an issue that was causing Lock Trajectory to reset its cooldown after use.   This behavior should only be present when the Starship Trait "Improved Lock Trajectory" is slotted.

Star Trek Online is pleased to once again invite you to join us for the First Contact Day Celebration starting on PC, Xbox and Playstation on April 5st, 2022 and continuing until April 26th, 2022. Join the festivities by competing with four other players to build and launch your very own Phoenix Rocket, travelling back to April 4th, 2063 to thwart the Borg’s efforts to prevent the historic event, or participating in a recreation of the Synth attack on Mars! Once per day, any activity will grant Daily Progress toward the Grand Prize – the Combat Pet - A600 Android, a deadly combatant that can be used to assist you in ground combat, unlocked for all characters on your Account! It attacks with deadly mining laser fire, taunts foes, and is quite dangerous in melee. Keep reading to reveal what activities and prizes await those who join us to celebrate “First Contact Day.” Manufacturing Dissent Synth Wave returns! The Synths working on Mars have rebelled! Fight in orbit above the red planet, working with a team of fellow Captains to do as much good as possible before you are overrun in the Synth Wave TFO. The fate of Utopia Planitia hung in the balance, perhaps your insight will help us tip the scales if we are tested again someday.   Visit Historical Bozeman! The Borg continue their implacable advance, only this time the battlefield is across time, not space. Temporal abnormalities have prompted Daniels to slap together an away team to go back to mid-21st century Earth where the Borg have altered the timeline to ensure that they succeed in their previously-foiled plan to stop First Contact between Earth and Vulcan. Team up with Seven-of-Nine and discover what the Borg have done to alter the timeline, and then do everything you can to correct it. Just make sure not to do more damage to the timelines than the Borg already have. Modelling Rocketry Alternatively, if battling robot-zombies isn’t your cup of Earl Grey, you can participate in the good ‘ole Phoenix Rocket Launch competition. We hope you enjoy the friendly rivalry as you scramble to gather parts and assemble the best rocket under the watchful eye of enormous marble Dr. Cochrane himself. Event Rewards Completing either of these participating activities once per day, per account, will earn you a First Contact Day Badge Box. Opening this box will grant players the opportunity to choose between 17 Comm Badges as account-wide unlocks. Once unlocked, these immediately become accessible from any Tailor for any Federation character on your entire account. Daily Progress is also earned once per day, per account, for the first completion of either participating activity. Keep earning Progress to earn your way toward the completion of the First Contact Day Event. Upon reaching 14 days of Progress, you will become eligible to claim the Grand Prize! This includes the following items: A600 Android (Combat Pet) Keep reading for more details on this reward! First Contact Day Bundle – contains all of the following: 1x Captain Specialization Point (cannot reclaim) 25,000 Dilithium Ore (cannot reclaim) “Launch Toy Rocket” Social Device (Account Unlock) Holo-Emitter – Phoenix Shuttle (Account Unlock)   Combat Pet - A600 Android As Synthetics, the A600 series were produced as both strong and efficient Androids in the vision of the fabled Noonian Soong. Their primary programmed directives involved repairing devices and electronics as laborers. Banned for a time in the Federation due to the devastating attack on Mars, their combination of brutal personal strength and electronic security vulnerabilities presented unique challenges to the ideals of the institution – challenges which were eventually overcome. This model, mostly preserved in its historical state, has been hardened against hacking attempts. It fights with the Martian Mining Laser and its fists, both of which are deadly, and its aggressive behavior taunts adversaries. Launch Toy Rocket Celebrate the historic launch of the Phoenix year round with this special device! Upon activation, it places a model of the Phoenix in front of you, which quickly launches in the sky. Holo Emitter - Phoenix Shuttle A special Holo-emitter for your shuttles and fighters that will make your ship look like the Phoenix. This device has an unlimited duration, unlike those provided by the Ferengi. Bonus Dilithium Rewards   Earning the Grand Prize from this event for every character on your account is as simple as participating in any of the eligible activities over the course of its run. But remember that completing the 14-day requirement isn’t necessarily the end of the rewards you can earn! Additional Daily Progress also grants you scaling Dilithium Ore bonus rewards, after you have claimed the Grand Prize. You'll receive 8,000 Dilithium Ore for each bonus completion.   Buyout Players unable to find the time to complete the Event, or interested in rushing to complete their progress, will have the opportunity to purchase the remainder of their Daily Progress using Zen at any time. The initial pricing for this Event’s buyout will be 2000 Zen, but like all other recent buyouts, the price any player pays will be discounted based on the amount of Daily Progress you have already accrued.   ----------   We celebrate what we have, remember what we lost, and prepare for change to come. Wonder and challenge come in equal measure when the old order passes into the new. It begins with first contact.   .share-footer a { margin: 20px 10px 10px 0; background: url(https://pwimages-a.akamaihd.net/arc/d7/af/d7afaaa14e96d0d973f76157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } .share-footer .TI { background-position: 0 20%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .TW { background-position: 0 60%; } .share-footer .FO { background-position: 0 80%; } .FB:hover { background-position: 100% 0%; } .TI:hover { background-position: 100% 20%; } .YT:hover { background-position: 100% 40%; } .TW:hover { background-position: 100% 60%; } .FO:hover { background-position: 100% 80%; } .share-footer a:hover { opacity: 1; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } $(document).ready( function() { $('.show-lightbox').click(function() { var $el = $(this); var link = $el.data().lightbox; $.colorbox({href: link, maxWidth: '90%', maxHeight: '90%', scalePhotos: true}); }); }); .headerimage { border: 2px inset rgba(255, 255, 255, .05); border-radius: 2em; box-shadow: 5px 5px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3); -webkit-transition: all 500ms ease; -moz-transition: all 500ms ease; -ms-transition: all 500ms ease; -o-transition: all 500ms ease; transition: all 500ms ease; }

Event Campaign – Part II:   Reflections of the Empire Event:   This will be the second event that will participate in this Campaign, marking your first chance at receiving its reward.  Any of the participating TFOs from the following list will complete your Daily Progress:  Iuppiter Iratus (Space)  Counterpoint (Space)  Operation: Wolf (Ground)  Players will be able to complete their Daily Progress once every 20 hours.   Any of the above TFOs may be played as much as you like each day.  Participating in this Event will give all players the opportunity to earn a brand new Holographic Janeway bridge officer!  Rewards:   Players will be able to earn their Daily Progress once every 20 hours.   Accruing a total of 14 Days’ worth of Daily Progress will allow you to claim the Grand Prize, a Holographic Marshall Janeway Bridge Officer!   The first character to claim the reward on your account will also recieve:  8x Terran Empire Agony Phaser Weapon Pack  3x Ultimate Tech Upgrade - Beam/Cannon/Projectile Tech  Bonus Rewards:  After claiming the Grand Prize, you will unlock the option of earning additional Dilithium Ore each day, beginning at 8,000 Dilithium Ore for the first day’s completion, and increasing for subsequent days.  Zen Buyout Option:   For players interested in instantly completing the Borg Resurgence Event, we will be offering the option to purchase the remaining progress of this event at a scaling amount of Zen, as with other recent events.  A Second Chance:   Progress after the Event has ended will remain in an all new Second Chance interface, allowing the option to buyout rewards long after the Event has expired.   For more information, please visit the “Reflections of Empire” blog at: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11512093-reflections-of-empire    Intelligence Specialization Updates:   "Gather Intel" / “Active Sensor Arrays”  Now takes 6 stacks of Penetrating Scan to cause Vulnerability on any rank of ship, instead of varying by rank.  Duration of Vulnerability increased from 15 sec to 30 sec.  Stacks of Penetrating Scan will not be applied while a target has Vulnerability, or if any Expose ability is presently active.  All "Expose" abilities now immediately expire any existing Vulnerability (in addition to other effects).  NPCs no longer benefit from a lockout period after Vulnerability expires, and may instead immediately start rebuilding stacks of Penetrating Scan. Players now benefit from a 30 sec lockout (increased from 15 sec).  "Evade Target Lock"  Base Duration of Disable/Untargetable increased from 1/2/3 to 2/3/4, and now scales with Control Expertise.  The duration of the Disable is now subject to Control Resistances of the affected foe.  Replaced Accuracy penalty with a Damage penalty. Affected Foes now suffer reduced damage against the user of this ability, instead of just missing them more frequently. (Their damage output against other targets is unaffected.)  Durations of all ranks are now normalized at 20 seconds.  "Intelligence Team"  Threat Reduction values at all ranks have been doubled.  If "Threatening Stance" is not active on the recipient of this ability, this effect is doubled again.  Targeting Stealth values are now consistent across all ranks (equal to previous Rank III values).  Defense buff increased from 10/15/20 to 30/40/50.  Added a Perception Buff to recipient which scales with rank.  "Subspace Beacon"  All ranks now have the same distance limit of 20km.  Added brief period of "Untargetable" after Teleport.  Teleport will now reset all Threat, when "Threatening Stance" is not active.  Added a Bridge Officer Cooldown reduction to the Teleport, which scales with rank.  Added clarifying descriptive text: "The beacon will automatically self-destruct if you are too far from its location. However, there is no cooldown triggered on the ability if this occurs."  Fixed long-standing errors with how multiple ranks of this power would interact with one another. Each Rank now utilizes an entirely separate set of checks, in order to allow a player to use multiple Beacons if they so choose. This change also resulted in the shared cooldown between ranks dropping from 60sec to 15sec.  "Electromagnetic Pulse Probe"  Flight Speed increased by 50% at all ranks  Added Electrical Damage to probe's pulses while in-transit to destination. Foes within 2km of probe will take some damage now.  Damage now scales with Particle Generators skill.  Disable durations now scale with Control Expertise skill.  Base duration of pulsing Disable (not final detonate) has been reduced, and benefits less from Control Expertise.  Probe will no longer detonate until at least 10 seconds have passed, even if launched at very close range.  This power is now labeled as a Control Bridge Officer Ability, and can interact with applicable effects and triggers such as Secondary Deflectors.  "Ionic Turbulence"  Projectile now travels to its destination approximately 3x as quickly.  Damage Resistance Debuff increased slightly at all ranks, and now scales higher with Auxiliary Power.  Speed Debuff now scales with Control Expertise skill.  This power is now labeled as a Control Bridge Officer Ability, and can interact with applicable effects and triggers such as Secondary Deflectors.  Fixed a series of errors with Rank II and III of this ability, that could cause the cloud to be centered on the user instead of their intended target.  "Kinetic Magnet"  Increased Kinetic Resistance debuff at all ranks, from 20/25/30 to 30/40/50  Durations of all ranks are now normalized at 15 seconds.  Number of Mines/Torpedoes that can be drawn to an affected target has been increased from 3 to 6.  The range at which Mines/Torpedoes can be drawn to an affected target has been increased from 5km to 10km.  Reminder: This ability no longer has a fragile damage cap (removed in a previous update).  "Surgical Strikes"  Increased damage multipliers at all ranks. Rank I went up by approximately 30%, Rank II by about 40%, and Rank III by about 50%.  Standardized the amount of Critical Chance and Accuracy at all ranks, to 30% of both.  Added a scaling amount of Critical Severity to all ranks. Rank I = +40, Rank II = +60, Rank III = +80.  "Transport Warhead"  Removed firing arc requirements.  Recharge time reduced from 30sec to 15sec.  For more information, please visit the “Intelligence Report” blog at: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11510983-intelligence-report    General:  Personal Endeavor Reroll Tokens once more have a chance of appearing in Personal Endeavor Rewards, from all difficulties.  Updated Mass Salvage to not include items that have Upgrade XP applied.   These can still be manually salvaged.   Resolved an issue that was preventing Cryo Kit Modules from benefiting from the Breen Cryoshaper Kit Frame.   Cryo Mine Barrier (Engineering).  Cryogenic Stasis Field (Science).  Cryo Grenade (Tactical).  Resolved an issue where the Cold Damage improvement wasn't appearing from the Breen Cryoshaper Kit Frame.   Resolved an issue where Breen Cryoshaper armor failed to properly grant Willpower.  Resolved an issue that was allowing Agony Redistributor to interact with Confuse abilities in undesired ways.  Attack Pattern Lambda now has more consistent scaling across all 3 ranks, and provides an equal value of Perception Debuff to foes as the amount of Perception Buff it provides for the user (both of which are lower than previous values).  Resolved an issue that was preventing the Reputation systems Fill All button from using Reputation vouchers if you have 0 refined dilithium.   The Yamato-Class Dreadnought Cruiser has been remastered!   Ready your Yamato and visit the ship customization interface, then apply the "Yamato" preset to see the changes.  Improved performance of various UI elements throughout the game.
