    For the next three weeks, from March 5th at 9:00 AM PST to March 26th at 10:00AM PST, Federation, Klingon, and Romulan Republic Captains between levels 50-60 can queue up for our 10-captain “Crystalline Cataclysm” event to defeat the Crystalline Entity and earn one Crystal Shard every 20 hours. After collecting 14 of them, players can complete a new Event Reputation project to be rewarded with 50,000 Dilithium Ore, 500 Fleet Marks, 250 Marks of their choice (Fleet, Omega, Romulan, Nukara, Dyson, Undine, or Delta Marks), and a Very Rare Emergency Conn Hologram Duty Officer!

    BONUS! Once the new, main reputation project is complete, a brand-new bonus 1-Shard project will become available to slot. Completing this will earn players 2,000 Dilithium Ore, 50 Fleet Marks and 35 Marks of their choice (Fleet, Omega, Romulan, Nukara, Dyson, Undine, or Delta Marks).

    To participate and earn Crystal Shards, queue up for either the Normal or Advanced version of the event – a successful completion of either will award you with one Shard, in addition to the normal rewards.

    Lastly, stay on alert, Captains! Recent intelligence reports reveal that there are a few new tactics the Entity and its allies are using during this event to thwart your attempts of destroying them.

    Gather your friends for this epic event and we'll see you in-game!

    The one event I generally do on all my characters, should get a fair bit of dilithium back from this.

    My shuttles all use the set Omni AP array, and a normal AP array, with FAW1. I figure I'd just swap the normal array for the torpedo. Torpedo Spread 1 is also an Ens ability, after all. Plus I think it can't miss, which is kind of helpful for shuttles...

    Some clarification about the torpedo:

    Hey guys!

    The tooltip shown in today's Dev Blog is approximately the same item that will be rewarded, but the fine details are still undergoing one last tuning pass. It was supposed to be done before the Blog was published, but unfortunately we failed to hit that deadline. We'll try and get an updated/final tooltip into the blog as soon as it's available (should be today).



    That's a really good way to look at it. With a few additional unique variations:

    - Does not benefit from Weapon Power
    - Does not suffer from Range drop-off
    - Benefits from Torpedo Combo Abilities (Torpedo Spread, High Yield, etc)
    - Enhanced by any items/bonuses that are "+Antiproton Damage" but not "+Beam/Cannon Damage"
    - NOT Enhanced by +Torpedo Damage items/bonuses
    - Deals Antiproton Damage, so is not subject to the same Strengths/Resists as a standard Kinetic Torpedo (this includes the Rademaker console that was asked about, though a standard Feedback Pulse WILL reflect this Torpedo)

    Also, aside from all of that, it's really freakin' pretty. Seriously - you guys should see this thing in action, it's gorgeous.
