Awesomely enough, the bays do line up with the studio model, even if the door spacing might be off. Depends on whether this will be one of the two 5 door sides or the 3 or 4. I'm glad someone in the art department is OCD enough to make all these details mostly accurate.

Taco has an eye for detail, I'm sure hes passed it on to his team as well. He likes to make things Canon as possible while feeling like the 25th century aesthetic.

You're talking about this area right? I asked Taco and he said "That's our thinking."

FarShot · « **Reply #4962 on:** March 20, 2014, 05:16:10 PM »

Yeah, that. Two of the four quadrants have 5 doors, one 4, and the last 3, last I remember from studying the studio models anyways.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #4963 on:** March 20, 2014, 05:40:38 PM »

Well the STO model is symmetrical so they all have 5 doors.

Reputation System "Redesign"

Basically all the other reps are adopting the Dyson Sphere rep system.

Figures that they'd implement this as soon as I'm about to finish up the current reps -.-

To be fair thou, they did say before the Season 8 stuff was released, that the Dyson system may be adopted for the older reps. Which I'm happy to see, they are finally doing. Might give me a reason to finish up the reps on my alts.

True I guess and I'm actually glad that they're finally doing it. Just wished that they had added it in sooner.

Leave it to Cryptic to take their time on things that matter most to players, while things that matter more to them (Cryptic) are fixed within hours/days

Interesting that they're called it "8472 Counter Command" instead of Undine.

I wouldn't call it a nerf, less powers but they're more powerful.

It is like going from 8 dimes to 4 nickles.

Except that you can only use 2 of those nickles.

Current:
8 passives / 1 active (per rep)
16 ground passives (4 reps)
16 space passives (4 reps)

New:
Maximum 4 ground passives
Maximum 4 space passives
Maximum 4 actives

How is it NOT a nerf, when you go from 16 passives from any given region (ground/space), to 4? Even if you consider that of the 8 passives per rep, you only have access to 4 of them currently (2 space / 2 ground), that's still a 50% nerf.

"I wouldn't call it a nerf, less powers..."

Nerf and less powers are kinda the same thing here, are they not?

captain_obvious · « **Reply #4978 on:** March 25, 2014, 05:34:09 PM »

I'd agree with kori, IF the passives were to be made truly epically powerful. But they aren't lol.

That said, the passives did need some changes imo (that placate one in particular)
