re: Changes for Season 9


There are several new changes coming in Season 9. We will try to keep track of the major highlights as well as the links for further information.


You may want to log into the Tribble test server to check out some of the new changes. This will also help to 'pre-update' your client so it wont be such a huge download when Season 9 goes live. The new Earth Space Dock on Tribble is SWEET!!

Info on the Undine, the main bad guys in season 9. Nothing super important game wise.

Major 're-vamp' to the way the reputation system works. There won't be any new 'Commendations' that you have to trade in, you simply get more reputation for the first time you do the mission each day.

No more costume unlocks either!

Changes to way undine ships work, several new abilities. Plus:


All Undine ships have been updated to behave with the following characteristics:
They have a forward facing Heavy Beam attack.
They are fast, with Hull Damage Resistance, Hull Regeneration, and Heavy Damage Weapons, unique to the Undine.
Their old plasma torpedoes have been replaced with a Bio-plasmic Warhead. Organic in nature, this projectile slows you and can drain your engine power.
The whole critter group has had lots of tuning/balance.
All of their beam attacks can knock your ship – inspired by a near-miss from an Undine beam knocking Voyager off-course.

Total revamp to the Reputation System!!


They are making 'slots' for your reputation powers. 4 passive ground powers and 4 passive space powers. We can change the powers out at any time (out of combat), and the powers are being made a bit stronger. We still only get 4 of the 16 or so space (or ground) powers active at a time!

This is supposed to allow them to introduce more reputation powers without unbalancing the game, at least that's what they say...I don't care how they put it, sounds like we're loosing power to me. I recommend everyone read this one...

Undine Space Battlezone


9 points to capture, something like what they have with the contested space zone, but with undine. However, it is also like a 'dino run.' Three bosses you have to get a couple shots on each to get the FULL rewards.

Totally Redesigning Ground Kits


Ground kits will have 'modules' now. We can still use old kits, but supposedly the new kits will be more powerful.

Undine Assault


The Undine have Planet Killers!

...you’ve been called on to defend them. Queuing up for this mission will send the player to one of four locations: Gornar, Andor, Cardassia or Ferenginar

So ... if you lose does Cardassia disappear from the map?

Think someone said a new grind would be coming. ROFL

Undine Reputation System


Looks like we are getting 2 space missions, 1 ground mission and the Space Battlezone.
Pretty standard rep system, 2 space 'sets' and 1 ground 'set'. Plus some new rep powers.
