SRS NEWS
We are also running the Borg Intervention event this week, there will be plenty of chances this week to pick up the MACO Team Specialist accolade and unlock more MACO/OMEGA/HONOR GUARD outfit styles. As it's on normal difficulty it's a walk in the park.
CFOPS Tutorial Video
We are always looking for new CFOPS (Chief Fleet Operations Officers) and some of you have shown an interest. Whilst the training videos are more or less correct I want to produce a new video before enrolling any further CFOPS, bear with me, I am hoping to produce that this week if I get a quiet day at work!
GAME NEWS
Bugs of the week that were supposed to be fixed and haven't, go to:
Runner up
Complex Plasma Fires - applies 20 stacks instead of two
and first place goes to
Strike Group Command Authority - doesn't do anything at all, nice job Cryptic.
Neither of these is in the "Known Issues" area of the patch notes, so I guess that means they don't know about them, even though they are trying to fix them, or it means that the patch notes are incorrect. Full marks to Cryptic on their ongoing sloppiness and general disinterest in their own game.
Temporal Recruit Event
This begins next week on the 8th of June and is one of the best recruit events in the game. If you don't have a temporal recruit then I highly recommend you start one. Remember you don't have to finish it in the timeframe, just get as far as receiving the transponder from Daniels and you can then finish it in your own time. For those who already have a temporal recruit then just check your transponder as you may have already earned new rewards, if not you will be able to go back and run events to get the new rewards. There is no point in starting more than one temporal recruit. Here is the blog.
Flagship Celebration Event
This is the third event in the year-long campaign. From this event you can earn two items, a Beverly Crusher hologram BOFF with a trait for cooling down BOFF abilities and firing off a HY1 both of which may turn out to be awesome or pants, there are of course no details as yet. The other reward is a passive device for converting your fleet support to the flagship of your alliance, so this should work from your inventory. I doubt you will get this flagship AND the usual fleet support but that would be nice. Read the blog.
KEY SALE
Don't waste your money if it's EC you are after. The promo event for the Titan (Enterprise G from Picard) will likely drop this month and those promo boxes will net you 3 times what you'd get from keys.
NEW CONTENT THIS WEEK
Nada
Next Live stream
I may do a walkthrough of the two new patrols on elite hard mode showing the best ways and the best builds to use (spoiler it's torps).
Fleet News
Welcome to any new members, I'll list you all again at the end of the month.
Please remember you can donate items, marks, doffs, dil etc, to any fleet in the armada, just open the fleet window, choose the armada tab then look down the list of fleets and look at each fleet's holdings. There are some upgrades underway.
Please do NOT spend your real money for resources to upgrade fleets, we already have several T5 fleets and we will slowly slowly chip away at them all until they are all upgraded all the way, just use anything spare you have and can afford not to miss.
If you need stuff from a T5 fleet and you're in a lower fleet just ask for a T5 invite in the SRS Armada chat channel.
Cheers
Matt
