We will be performing shard maintenance on May 5 from 7-9:30 AM Pacific (14:00-16:30 UTC).

General:
• Resolved an issue that was causing Reputation tiers to revert to the previous tier once a Tier 5 Reputation Buyout token was applied.
• All weapons obtained in Legendary Dominion Captain Bundle may now be recycled using the Replicator.

Phoenix Prize Pack Updates: (UFPlanets thread)
• New prizes have been added at all prize tier categories, including the Vulcan T'Pau Scout Ship [T6]!
• Tier-5 Starships previously available at Ultra-Rare have all been retired.
• All prizes previously found at Very Rare, Rare, and Uncommon Prize Tiers have been promoted by one Tier, and existing Prize Tokens in player inventories have been promoted accordingly.

○ Uncommon Prize Category no longer exists.

• Odds for receiving Prize Tokens higher than the lowest-Tier have increased across the whole Prize Pack!
• All future versions of the Phoenix Universal Tech Upgrade will contribute fewer Tech Points than previous versions. Existing versions of this item that players already own will have their name changed to include "Classic" and upgraded to Epic/Gold, but otherwise unchanged.
