We will be performing shard maintenance on October 6 from 7-9:30 AM Pacific (14:00-16:30 UTC).
General:
• Resolved an issue that would sometimes prevent progression when selecting a faction at the end of the Dominion Tutorial.
• Captains can now access a “Salvage” tab listing all salvageable items that can be discarded at once, instead of salvaging per item within the Inventory window.
• Resolved an issue that was causing summoned pets to use the incorrect beam out effects.
• Tzenkethi innate resistances that scale up with loss of shields, now scale less aggressively.
The Year of Klingon!
Klingon Revamp Part 2:
• Episodes in the Warzone story arc in the mission journal for the Klingon Defense Force have been revamped to bring the quality more up to par with recent content.
○ This includes updated environments, new cutscenes, and new character art.
• Klingon Female characters have received several brand new complexion options that give those characters a higher definition look.
• The Ketha region of Qonos has been given an updated mission flow, to help guide you to your next destination.
• Lady Sirella’s model has been completely reworked, and she will be voiced by her original actress, Shannon Cochran.
• The environments of Forcas and Gorath have both been completely updated with a much sleeker, Klingon look.
○ On Forcas, as part of a completely updated map, you’ll do battle in a fully updated Bat’leth ring.
○ While Gorath, the stronghold of House Torg, is our second completely updated map. It has a totally new throne room that’s perfect for your screenshot needs.
• Targ’s have been completely redesigned to bring the quality more up to par with recent content.
Known Issues:
• There is a known issue that is preventing the T6 Experimental Upgrade from being applied to the Mirror Engle Strike Wing Escort [T6].

T5U / T6 Ship Experimental Upgrades!
• New Ship Experimental Upgrade Tokens are being introduced.
• Experimental Upgrades can be used on ANY T5U or T6 ships.
• Upgraded T5U and T6 ships will become T5X and T6X ships.
• Experimental Upgrades can be applied by visiting any Ship Selector location, which are found in most starbases and social zones, and will make use of a new token called “Experimental Starship Upgrade Tokens.”
• Upgrading to T5X or T6X is account wide.
○ Fleet, lockbox, Lobi Store, Phoenix Prize Pack, and promotional ships must still be purchased individually. They will not unlock account-wide.
• Using an Experimental Upgrade Token will add:
○ One Universal Console slot
○ One Device slot
○ One Starship Trait slot
+ The additional Starship Trait slot will only be active while using an upgraded ship.
+ Slotted Traits will be remembered:
- Slotting a Trait in an upgrade slot and then switching to an un-upgraded ship will cause the trait to become inactive. Switching back to the upgraded ship will re-enable the previously slotted Trait.
○ A cosmetic change.
+ Upgraded ships will have an -X appended to their current class names to signify that they are eXperimental Upgrade ships.
• Experimental Upgrade limitations:
○ Upgrading a T6 version of a ship will not Upgrade the T5U version of the ship.
○ Upgrading a T6 version of a ship will not Upgrade the Legendary version of the ship.
○ Upgrading a Fleet T6 version of a ship will not Upgrade any other version of the ship.
For example:
The Defiant is available in many variations. There is a T5U Tactical Escort Retrofit, a T5U Fleet Tactical Escort Retrofit, a T6 Tactical Escort, a Fleet T6 Tactical Escort, and a Defiant Legendary Pilot Warship. To Upgrade all of those ships would require 5 Experimental Upgrade Tokens. They would be account-wide upgrades.
