Embassy Featured Project #4
With the launch of Season 7, fleets gained the opportunity to court the colonists of New Romulus by establishing an Embassy outpost. Similar to Fleet Starbases, from time to time, special projects will become available for fleet’s Embassies. Completion of these special projects will unlock new features to give your embassy more customization and added aesthetics that are akin to the surroundings of New Romulus and its people. Be quick, though – when a special project becomes available, it will only be around for a limited time; you must start the project before the end of the feature. Once you’ve started the project, you can keep working on it until it’s finished, even if the special event ends. As with Starbases, you can only work on one special project at a time, so act fast!
Our next special feature is, "Enhanced Intelligence." As more progress is being made on New Romulus, new technology is being installed in embassies to increase intelligence capabilities. Holographic systems and new HUD displays provide the Federation and Klingon Defense Force the advantages they need to combat threats posed to those who are working on rebuilding the new capital.
Completing this project will add enhancements to your Fleet Embassy on New Romulus. Display screens and a holographic system readout will be added to Ops. This special project will be available around 10AM PST on February 28, 2013, until around 10AM PST on March 14, 2013.
Keep checking back to see what’s next on the special project list! We hope you are enjoying Season 7: New Romulus and we’ll see you in-game!

Meh.
wilbor2 @ Feb 28th, 2013 8:52AM
why are people still crying about not being able to get dilith i get it from Elite stf and foundry missions and PVP u can all so get a small amount from DOFF missions the only problem i have is with the 8k cap. ive got 5-36k in ore on all 4 of chars. but there is to meny ways to spend it fleet base missions fleet goods rep goods ETC
silenthunter444
Wilbo most of us know all that! BUT you cant possibly use it all fast enough because of the cap, even with a small fleet. Yes we can join a bigger fleet BUT we enjoy being smaller, more personable. Which will make it almost impossible for us to get to level four on our starbase! cryptic needs to take the cap off! There is NO need for it in the first place. Come on Cryptic get off your butts and listen to your people talking. REMEMBER you wouldnt have a game ang be making cash if Your Startrek people were not there to support YOUR GREED
mervdegriff @ Feb 27th, 2013 12:24PM
Ooooooohhhh I like the look of this one. Much better than mindless tribble piles. Thanks Cryptic. Yet another nice looking dilithium sink. (To all those whining about dilithium being hard to get... what game are you playing?) :)
notobig @ Feb 27th, 2013 9:26AM
y keep putting in stuff for the star bases and embassy that use dilithium when u keep making it harder for people to get dithium our base is a t4 and stalled out because of all the lack of dilth you all keep taking the farming out of the game and hurt our ways of buying c-store things when some of us cant afford to but real cash in this game
caberwikijack @ Feb 27th, 2013 8:48AM
Isn't that the war room from Mass Effect 3?
captaind3
It is extremely similar, albeit much bigger than what can fit in the Normandy.

Another News Post About Something Cool and Fun...better voice my opinion about something else to be a jerk... uh... KDF IS GETTING SHAFTED AGAIN THROUGH THIS...somehow... maybe..... Am I a STO Commentor yet?
watchd0g3 @ Feb 27th, 2013 6:14AM
we need the dil cap raised. why are lifetime subs and gold members held to the same cap anyways ?
mattjohnsonva @ Feb 27th, 2013 4:27AM
I like it but as many others are saying it aint gonna happen due to the SB sucking up all spare dilithium. Until you guys raise the refinement cap we are gonna be doing less and less of these, there is simply a limit on how much each member will contribute and how much real cash I will spend on a game.
lirdek @ Feb 27th, 2013 3:24AM
as usual my fleet pass on embassy vanity projects.. We are barely able to complete the starbase ones already.
borgressistance @ Feb 27th, 2013 3:12AM
looks nice,the ops level always looks empty imo,nice that it finally get some extra's! but i understand the people who say that the dill price is to high,i personally think that there are enough ways to get dill,but that the refine cap make's it hard to use it,you may refine 8k a day,while the most end gear needs 25/32k dillithuim,and a projects for the starbase 200k,so 32k with 8k a day is 4 days,and in those 4 days you get more dill that you cant refine,i think we need a dill cap from 10k/15k.it make's a lot more possible,and if that is difficult for the economy,then lower price's? now you need to refine 4 days for 1 piece of gear
aquitaine985 @ Feb 26th, 2013 10:42PM
Not gonna happen. Our fleet is happy doing starbase only ones.
maddog0000doom @ Feb 26th, 2013 4:59PM
shame im going to have pass on this as i cant come up with millions of dilthium i already need to get.
mattachine
Yeah the Dilithium costs of everything in the game now is atronomical. But the means of earning it is limited.
celestiaseven @ Feb 26th, 2013 4:12PM
Oh, this is sweet~ I'm going to love this one
chazrail @ Feb 26th, 2013 2:05PM
When can we get advanced customisations for the alien ships.
captaind3
You know that's a wonderful idea. These things need to also have some benefit for the ships in the fleet as well. Can we get a bridge as a Rep system thing if not through the Fleet?
lassitim @ Feb 26th, 2013 1:52PM
Keep the awesome new looks coming!
dracounguis
Yes! Don't bother fixing issues that have been around for years, keep the useless junk coming!
bermanator @ Feb 26th, 2013 1:08PM
I thought the "new" look of Star Trek was supposed to be the holographic LCARS displays. Why haven't we seen more of them? Esp. on things we know are from the STO time period?
brigadooom @ Feb 26th, 2013 12:31PM
Needs more Prometheus Orrery.
vinru821 @ Feb 26th, 2013 12:27PM
hey, this actually looks pretty nice!
brucelaw87 @ Feb 26th, 2013 12:25PM
Why are the computers so big? .. hows anyone gonna reach those top buttons XD
tlamstrike
An eye tracking GUI perhaps? Eye tracking a technolgy we have here in the 21st century. Plus of course the screens are big, you can't have an ops center without a "Big Board".
chivalrybean
You can maybe drag it with your finger?
caelan1982 @ Feb 26th, 2013 12:21PM
Is this Star Wars or Star Trek?!!
jnohd @ Feb 26th, 2013 12:09PM
Looks good. I'm sure Bloodbath will have a nice, red glow in Embassy Ops soon! :D
crusader2007 @ Feb 26th, 2013 12:05PM
Wow... another useless aesthetic project...what a waste. I guess what is trash for some might be beauty for others...good luck with that
sean2448
no they are no useless they are for fleet credit ops area has nothing this for players who need credit
direphoenix @ Feb 26th, 2013 12:02PM
I really wish I could get rid of this "Nanov Terrarium" project that my fleet isn't interested in getting anymore...
focslain
I feel your pain, this project is actually the best one yet for the embassy, I want it but I need a large amount of dil to clear out the terrarium (especially since I'm running the embassy myself now)
gavinruneblade
heh, in my fleet I think I'm the only one contributing to the terrarium project. Well, I'll get it eventually...
