General: Resolved an issue that would sometimes cause item names to not appear in various stores. Duty Officer Pack Updates: Removed the Reinforcements pack from the Duty Officer tab Changed the price of the Gamma, Delta, Romulan, and Fleet Duty Officer Packs to 300 ZEN Added an Uncommon and Rare Duty Officer to each of the 4 themed packs mentioned above so they give out 4 common, 3 uncommon, and 1 rare along with their bonus item. These have a chance for a higher quality so you should never see more than 4 common and you should always get 9 Duty Officers total. Moved the bonus prize in the Gamma pack of 4 fleet modules out and replaced it with the Tuffli Class Freighter. Removed the 4 Fleet Module Rewards from the Delta Pack which increases the chance at winning the traits as a bonus reward. Created a Duty Officer bundle which has 1 of each of the 4 themed doff packs

Starting today, we’re making some much needed updates to the Duty Officer Packs on PC, and having a massive sale on our Infinity Promotion Packs – both Research and Development and Duty Officer! These packs can open into a T6 Starship, including the classic Constitution Class and the brand new Section 31 Battlecruiser! Here’s the updates we’re making: We’re adding a Duty Officer Pack Bundle, with a starting, pre-sale price of 1000 Zen. This pack includes a Fleet Pack, a Delta Pack, a Gamma Pack, and a Romulan Pack. Each of those four packs will now have an additional Uncommon and Rare Duty Officer. The Reinforcement Pack is being retired. The Tuffli Freighter from the Reinforcement Pack is now a potential reward in the Gamma Pack, replacing the previous potential reward of four fleet modules.

The Khitomer Alliance has begun a brand new initiative in the wake of new technological advances across the galaxy. They’ve noticed no surplus of young, ready Captains looking to explore the final frontier, but there is a surplus of older model ships, perfectly capable, but waiting for the right Captain to take them up. With that in mind, we’re making a change to all Tier 1 through Tier 4 ships in the Ship Requisition Store. These ships will no longer require Zen to requisition. Instead, they will all be requisitioned through a modest donation of Dilithium. Here’s how this will break down: TIER New Price for Ships that previously cost Dilithium New Price for Ships that previously cost Zen 1 1,000 15,000 2 2,500 37,500 3 5,000 75,000 4 10,000 150,000 This is a huge price discount – following

Nenid opened her eyes, only to see the worried face of Centurion D’mev staring down at her. “Status report,” she said hoarsely, having taken in a lungful of smoke during the last exchange of fire. Coughing, she got to her feet with the junior officer’s assistance and took a seat in the command chair. “Preferably before the Tholians manage to find and destroy us, if you please, Centurion. “ D’mev blanched before speaking. “Commander, we are under cloak, per your orders. A Tholian fleet is massing within the Azure Nebula; it seems we encountered their vanguard during our investigation of the temporal anomalies there.” Nenid nodded as she called up tactical data to the main viewscreen. And in a moment, a mission of science becomes a mission of war, she thought silently. “Engineering,” she said as she activated her command channel. “What’s our situation?

Friends! Loyal Compatriots! It is once again a message from I, Harcout Fenton Mudd, your greatest living friend, confidant, and of course dealer of all things rare and fantastical. I come to you today to let you know that yes, once again I have escaped Federation Custody, and that despite their best efforts, no one can track me to my current location - except for you, that is! And what a location I have discovered. Here in the bountiful plains of - well, let's leave that part our secret, shall we? - I have discovered a portal to a most fascinating place. It is an alternate dimenison, where things are very much like our own, but different! I escaped there with a cache of uniforms worn by the Federation Admirals of that universe, and I can now pass those on to you at a great savings! But that's not all, no no.

Quote from Star Trek Online News-Bot

Sometimes exploration of new ideas and new technologies leads to dark places. In Star Trek, we’ve seen many a cautionary tale about omniscient supercomputers, time travel, genetic manipulation, and telepathic oppression. The pursuit of knowledge isn’t always safe or pretty. Hearts and Minds is a mini-mission that explores the consequences of some unconventional research gone awry. This mission is a “story in one act,” so you can easily finish it in a quick play session, and it’s easy to complete it with any additional characters that you may have on your account – which is handy, because the mission offers a special reward. Since Hearts and Minds is a horror story, it will only be around for Friday the 13th, whenever that may fall on the calendar – and perhaps another sufficiently horrifying day that we might choose! Fortunately for the squeamish, Hearts and Minds is creepy, but not

Each year, as the sun gently sets on Risa, the citizens of the Federation, Klingon Empire, Romulan Republic and the Dominion take a moment to sit, and reflect upon the beautiful day they’ve had, hunting for Horga’hns, jetpacking through the sky, or racing with their friends. That beautiful, peaceful view is enhanced by a brand new ship, sitting in the sky, waiting for those Captains to take it out for a spin. This year will be a little different. This year, those Captains will look up in the sky and know they’ve had a hand in choosing what ship will be made. We’re trying something a little different with this year’s Summer Event Ship. Normally, we have a big internal pow-wow about what ship we want to do, and the team chooses their favorite concept and moves forward to the design phase, behind closed doors. But this year, we’re opening up the design phase to some of our team who
