At least they can't cloak ambush you, but a vaper build will be non defensible against anyway.

I guess you didn't read carefully...

By reverse-engineering the Undine biotechnology used in their ships and weaponry, the forces battling this threat have gained a much greater understanding of their ability to shift between Fluidic Space, and known space. This knowledge has resulted in being able to use another piece of salvaged Undine biotechnology – the Fluidic Phase Decoupler – on any existing ship.

This unique Console allows the ship to briefly decouple itself from our phase of reality, becoming perfectly invisible for a brief duration at the cost of their ship becoming slightly more difficult to control due to increased turn rate, and a major decrease of inertia rating. Upon re-emerging into our phase of existence, the ship releases a large bioplasmic shockwave that will damage enemies close enough to be caught in the blast. The shockwave also leaves a lingering debuff that will slow enemies hit by it.

Never mind then....

Hello Star Trek Undine.


Also, who came up with Undine Rep armor should be spaced ASAP.

That thing looks ridiculous.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Game is up again. Have fun with S9.

First bug: It seems no one can create an instance of Undine Assault. Fun times!

 

[Ronald Held]

My traits may get wiped and my bridge crew as well?

I did warn everyone to record down their pre-S9 traits as they'll be reset.

So I played the 1st half of the new mission before I had to go to work, I really enjoyed it... Poor Earth Starbase! Good excuse to remodel. Can't wait to play more tonight... My traits didn't seem to be changed. Most everything looks the same. I'll check more tonight.

I purposely left my current main toon vulnerable. Free respec!

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Yeah, you can respec your traits now any time for free.

 

[Hartzilla2007]

So the game is in 2410 now.

 

[Captain_Amasov]

2409 was one hell of a year!

 

[T J]

Hell of a new years party!

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Some nice surprises in the mission. i think I'd call it the best mission in game. Though I am sure some peopel will whine how aweful it is to replay it for all the rewards!
I just wish we could team up for it.

I really liked how it began with "Last Time..." and recapped some of the game like it was a new tv season.

Arghhh Cryptic! My next foundry mission was going to be the start of a war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. Now you've thrown me into a bind.

Having said that, I have to say its been great. Its the best season launch to date. I ran into several small bugs, but there were no server crashes. Surface Tension was amazing. The one new PvE queue I've tried so far was interesting. So I tip my hat off to Cryptic for a job well done.

Well you could always set it in 2404 and make it about the war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire that the new FE ended

 

[Ruaidhri]

Haven't played the mission or queues yet, as I started a new job today, but popped into spacedock and, once I got my graphics setting fixed (what the hell did they do?), I must say it looks pretty awesome. Can't wait to play the mission!

Yup. Make it a flashback episode.

It won't work. This mission is part 3 of my continuing Eclipse foundry series. The player only meets the antagonist in 2409 and there are very specific tentpole moments that I need to hit. I knew Cryptic was going to make peace between the Feds and the Klinks. I just did not expect it to happen so soon. I thought I had time to squeeze in a story.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Well, can't you adjust it to make the conflic with Klingon separatists then?
There must still be people like Torg or B'Vat who couldn't accept piece with the Federation.
They would probably go rogue and keep attacking them.
The New Accord might even push them over the edge to go to full blown war.

But I hear you. I will probably take this opportunity to finally bury the mission I have in perpetual limbo since the foundry got introduced.
It would have involved the Organians who the Federation was pleading to reinstate the old treaty when the war started to go really bad for them.
