For more information, please visit the "13th Anniversary Event!” post.

Rewards:
• 13th Anniversary Party Popper:

○ It wouldn’t be the anniversary without a brand new Party Popper to earn. The 13th Anniversary version of our annual toy-device takes the grand, cosmic power of V'ger and shrinks it down to an itty bitty party horn.

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:
• 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.
For more information, please visit the “13th Anniversary Event!” post.

Event Grand Prize – the Compiler Science Dreadnought [T6]!
• This fantastic starship is visually inspired by a mix between the visuals of the V’Ger Entity as seen in Star Trek: The Motion Picture (as well as concept art from the same), along with a portion of custom designs created in Star Trek Online for fleshing out the technology and enemies associated with “The Other” as seen in the current story arc.
• Participate in any of the Anniversary Event’s eligible activities and earn 40 or more Daily Progress to claim the Compiler Science Dreadnought [T6]!

General:
• Resolved an issue that prevented Holographic Leeta bridge officers from being commissioned.
• Added additional protections to prevent traits from unintentionally being removed from loadouts.
• Resolved an issue that prevented contribution of Colonists, Prisoners, and Refugees to various Starbase fleet tasks.
• Resolved an issue in the episode, Eye of the Storm, which was causing allied officers to be stuck.
• Resolved an issue in the episode, Eye of the Storm, which caused the Inquisitor to not be the team leader in some cutscenes.
• Resolved an issue with the Universal Kit Module – V’ger Probes that was causing the wrong value to appear in the description when it was upgraded.
• Resolved an issue with the Styx Terran Dreadnought Cruiser Admiralty ship being classified as a science ship.

○ It is now an Engineering ship, which better reflects the stats of the admiralty ship.

• Resolved an issue that prevented Discovery Klingon and Cascadian female captains from wearing some beachwear options.
• Resolved an issue with the “Terran – Odyssey” top on Female Reman captains having unwanted visual glitches.

Known Issues:
• On the new episode, Fujiwhara Effect, there is an issue where a cutscene that is supposed to start sometimes doesn’t.

○ If this happens moving far enough away from where you are currently standing should cause the cutscene to start and the mission to progress.

• Federation aligned Jem’Hadar characters may see a duplicate “eye of the Storm” mission in the mission journal.

That‘s new, never seen this. Not fixing before the release! Just run away.

Let's see what else is broken.

What sort of nonsense is that? A new episode for the anniversary which has an issue and they don't even bother fixing it? I'm honestly not even surprised which is the worst part.

Don't forget there will be a ton of lag of people opening the Lockbox, playing the mission will be impossible and sooner than later the Servers will die.

It's Cryptic, nothing surprises me.

Meanwhile, as the maintenance finishes:



Admittedly I would like to get a set of the new phasers and one or 2 of the new phaser rifles, but I'll wait for them to appear on the exchange. Probably take all of about 20 seconds with the WR hunters out in force.

[Bridger]

Ok today I lost it.

At least they are being proactive about admitting something is broken for once. Usually they let players just figure that out themselves and poorly explain why they are repeatedly patching daily and possibly restarting servers at random times. That's an improvement when we're talking about Cryptic. Not that such a thing is a GOOD thing...but gotta start with baby steps I guess

[Novalance]

Classic STO, heres a new mission its definitely broken!

and see them overpriced as all hell at first most likely? (though I too want to get a a set of the new phasers and phaser rifles)
