Our latest content update, Season 7: New Romulus, is now available. In this update, a new sector block opens for play and new missions, events, and social experiences are available for Fleets and max-level players. Undertaking these new challenges will help you earn rewards, including new captain abilities!
Here's some of what you can experience in Season 7:
NEW ROMULUS
A group of Romulans and Remans have banded together to create a new homeworld for their people -- and they need your help! Located in the new Tau Dewa Sector Block, New Romulus offers captains on both sides of the conflict the chance to aid the Romulan leader D’Tan as he locates a new homeworld and begins the process of building a capital city.
- Large, persistent zone designed for max level Federation and Klingon faction captains.
- Bring an away team member with you or group with other players to complete zone-wide objectives
- Earn Romulan Reputation by assisting with construction of the new colony.
- Aid the Romulans and unlock instanced away-team missions that reveal the planet's troubled past.
- Visit your Fleet's Embassy on New Romulus.
- Contact Subcommander Mivek in the Tau Dewa Sector Block for daily space patrols.
REPUTATION SYSTEM
Advance your captain's career by building reputation with Task Force Omega and the Romulans. This new system opens up new rewards and gear for your max-level character -- including new captain abilities!
You can access the Reputation system via the "Reputation" tab on your in-game ‘Status’ window.
- Personal advancement system for Vice Admirals and Lt. General characters.
- Undertake challenging new PvE content to earn resources needed to increase Reputations and unlock reward tiers.
- Select new captain abilities as you unlock reward tiers.
- Spend Expertise and Resources to acquire special gear sets.
Because players can now earn Reputation with Task Force Omega, we've made several changes that should make high-end STF gear easier to obtain:
- Earn Omega Marks through non-STF content such as the Defera Invasion Zone and Red Alerts.
- You no longer need to run a specific STF for a specific item -- all STFs reward the needed Resources.
- Watch your progress via the project status -- no more waiting for a drop!
- Forty-two drop items have been reduced to two: Omega Marks and Borg Neural Processors.
- The STF Reward Store on DS9 has been removed. Items are now available through Task Force Omega projects.
Due to the changes in STF rewards, all existing STF items will be converted to Omega Marks and Borg Neural Processors using a rate that takes into account how many of these items you acquired, but did not spend, on your character. Look in your Inventory for an "Omega Conversion Crate" which contains these items. For more information on these changes, read this Dev Blog.
FLEET HOLDING: NEW ROMULUS EMBASSY OUTPOST
A new Fleet holding has opened! In addition to your Fleet's Starbase, you can now build an embassy on New Romulus.
- Begin projects to construct and level up your Embassy.
- Progression is faster and less expensive than a Starbase.
- Unlock new Romulan-themed rewards at each tier.
- Watch your embassy grow as you completed special projects.
- The Embassy is attached to the New Romulus Adventure Zone, providing a local meeting area for Fleet Members.
NEW FLEET ACTIONS, EVENTS AND SPECIAL TASK FORCES
Improve your Fleet Resources and Captain’s Reputation by undertaking challenging new 5- and 20-player queued missions.
- Help Obisek defend the Vault from Tholians and earn Fleet Marks and Romulan Marks in "The Vault: Ensnared," a 5-player space combat event.
- Survive a colony overrun by Salt Vampires in "Mine Trap," a 20-player Fleet Action that rewards Romulan Marks and Fleet Marks.
- Rescue captured Romulan starships from a secret Tholian base in "Azure Nebula Rescue," a 5-player space combat event that rewards Romulan Marks and Fleet Marks.
- Face the Borg Queen in "Into the Hive" (Ground) and "Hive Onslaught" (Space), new Special Task Forces with normal and elite versions that award Omega Marks and Dilithium.
UI IMPROVEMENTS
- Foundry spotlight missions now receive their own billing in the Mission Journal.
- New PvE Queue: See the rewards available from any event!
- New Ship Selection Screen: Select a default shuttle. No more switching ships to queue for a shuttle mission!
VESTA CLASS STARSHIPS
