[Taku]

We will be performing shard maintenance on June 06 from 7-9:30 AM Pacific (14:00-16:30 UTC).

Event:
Crystalline Cataclysm Task Force Operation
• Crystalline Cataclysm returns as a Featured Task Force Operation!
• This event will last for 3 weeks and Captains can earn an all new reward!
• Complete the TFO on 14 different days to earn the Black Ops Mine Launcher in addition to marks, dilithium, and three Featured TFO Reward Boxes.

○ This box gives your choice of an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade or a Captain Specialization Point Box.

• Daily completion will reward a Featured TFO Commendation, rather than the Crystal Shards that were rewarded in the past.
• There will be a buyout option associated with the Event, which can be purchased from the Zen Store to receive 10 Featured TFO Commendations and 1 Ultimate Tech Upgrade.
Black Ops Mine Launcher
• Black Ops Mine Launcher is a new reward for completing the Featured TFO on 14 different days.
• The Black Ops Mine Launcher is a weapon which may be slotted into any Aft Weapon Slot on any starship and also will unlock, via the Reclaim tab of the Dilithium Store, for other characters on your account.

○ Blackout Mines: The Kinetic Damage dealt by one of these explosive devices resonates with enemy shields gaining increased damage based on the target's current shield percent – the higher they are, the harder these hit.
○ Blade Mines: These vicious mines will repeatedly attempt to bore along the hull of enemies, causing Physical damage over time, before detonating after a fixed period of time to deal Kinetic damage to enemies in the blast area.

•For more details, please visit the Return of the Crystalline Entity blog.
Coupon Progress Tokens
• Earn progress toward a Free Ship by participating each day in the Featured TFO Events that will be running from now until Fall of 2019.
• Earn Coupon Progress Tokens each day, allowing you to eventually claim a free Tier 6 Starship of your choice from the Zen Store!
Event Reputation Project Changes
• All slotted 14-token projects for the following Events will be automatically completed, regardless of the existing amount of progress made:

○ Crystalline Cataclysm
○ Into the Breach
○ First Contact Day
○ Kobayashi Maru
○ Mirror Universe Invasion
○ Sompek Arena

• Projects completed in this manner will be awaiting you in your Event Reputation, ready to claim! This process will reward you the items, dilithium ore, and marks, as well as properly unlock Account-Wide reclaim as applicable.
• All existing tokens used in the aforementioned projects will be automatically removed from players’ inventories, as they will no longer have a purpose going forward.
• Bonus Projects (those that unlock after completion of the 14-day Project associated with each Event) will be unslotted and made unavailable.
• At this time, no changes will be made to past Summer, Winter, or Anniversary Ship Projects that are already in-progress on your characters.

"Search Filters have been added to the Zen Store" OMG the world is coming to an end!

[Paran]

Some nice additions here. But still a ton of well known bugs not on that list. I would be more happy about patchnotes if they were full of fixes to said bugs

DOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pitchforks and flaming torches at the ready people!!!!

Search filters in the Zen Store is the singlemost best change in the entirety of the patch notes for me.

Now I just can't wait to see what they're going to do with the tierage mess now that other ships are completely obsolete with T6 scaling.

I'd absolutely love it if they unified the direction and grandfathered all older models to T6, and just introduce all new ships as new classes instead of minor variations you keep paying to upgrade as the game gets older. Hopefully they've learned their lesson and become more future-focused.
