Console - Universal - Tracer Payloads Device

This console has 2 main effects triggered upon activation:

  1. Your Direct Energy Weapons will be enhanced for a short duration. Any foe you hit while under this effect will be marked with the Tracer Payloads Trail up to 15 times. Each consecutive hit will refresh the duration

  2. You and your allies within a 10km radius will get a special buff: While actively targeting a foe marked with the Tracer Payloads Trail debuff your critical chance will increase by 1% for each stack of Tracer Payloads Trail applied to the active target. The critical chance increase is not limited to attacks towards the active target.

This console also provides an increase in flying speed when leaving combat for 15 seconds or until combat is re-engaged.

Starship Trait - Persistence Hunters

After achieving level 5 in this vessel's Starship Mastery, you will unlock the "Persistence Hunters" Starship Trait. When humanity was young, one of its main advantages over other animals was the ability to hunt for long amounts of time, eventually draining its prey from stamina.

Using foe targeted Bridge Officer Abilities on a target within 10km will reduce their flight speed and damage resistance. This effect stacks up to 5 times. Upon reaching 5 stacks, this debuff will expire and in its place the target's impulse and shield subsystems will be offline for 5 seconds. The target will also become immune to the effects of this trait for 20 seconds.

It's also possible that "Nova Squadron" is just one of many (as Value Subtracted mentions herein) and that there are many other Nova Squadrons without any issues in the intermittent years between the incidents. It's possible that, like most things in the Star Trek universe, we only see the times when something interesting/dramatic occurs, not the boring day-to-day.

Said another way, just because you periodically have a rowdy graduating class from primary/secondary education, doesn't mean you stop having graduating students.

The Defense of Pahvo Event will begin on PC on March 18th at 8am PT and run for 3 weeks before concluding. Meanwhile, it is expected to appear on Xbox and PlayStation starting on April 29th.

This Featured Event will be the second of a series of upcoming Events that will participate in the seventh installment of our multi-event system known as an Event Campaign. You'll need to participate in six events in total in order to earn the Grand Prize: A Tier 6 Infinity Promotional Ship of your choice, two free T6 Zen Store Coupons, AND 1500 Lobi!

  • Players may earn 50 Event Campaign Progress for each day they participate in an eligible event.
  • Buying out an eligible event will include up to 700 Event Campaign Progress.
  • Each event’s buyout only grants as much Event Campaign Progress as is relative to the amount paid, after pro-rated discounts are applied. This means that paying half price, (because you participated in 7 out of the 14 required days so far) will grant you 350 Event Campaign Progress. Essentially, you get what you pay for.

I would think that any object (including the ship) is traveling at a sub-light speed within the warp bubble and therefore would only keep that same velocity when (catastrophically) exiting the warp bubble. Unless by exiting the warp bubble in an uncontrolled manner creates some other force which slows the object somehow.

My understanding is that the warp bubble is moving space around the object (including the ship) rather than accelerating the object to FTL (faster-than-light) speeds, thus we really only have to consider the relative velocities within the warp bubble.

Edit to add: Oh, also, I should add that (IMO) the object cannot continue to travel at FTL speed since it has no warp drive of its own to maintain the warp field.

I really like their thorough patch notes and how they seem to quickly address player concerns/satisfaction. Better to have the game be fun rather than set-in-stone, IMO.

I thought patches were moved to Tuesdays? Or at least it seemed that way. These past few weeks, it's felt like it's always both Tuesday AND Thursday.

On one hand, I'm glad the new crew is addressing issues quickly. On the other hand, it'd be nice to have a couple days without a maintenance window.

General:

  • Resolved an issue causing a starship trait to not appear for the Obena Miracle Worker Heavy Cruiser T6.
  • Resolved and issue preventing players from skipping the Cutscenes in Act 5 Ep Axiom.

It was quite a full episode. Lots of content. It started slow (and a bit childish), then quickly turned

spoilerdark

I enjoyed it, as far as addressing one of my least favorite arcs. So, glad in two ways that it dropped.

Also, yeah.... that room was creepy, IMO.
