Best Of

I got today my first Voyage exclusive legendary crew (chose Chakotay). Until that, I felt like a windmill grinding grain on an atmosphere-less planet.

I agree. It's even possible to close the game, for example when you notice you've made a mistake, and the valor is back when you restart the game.

I have a very picky technical question: at what exact point does the crew you're using get compared to the current open nodes? I've had a couple of experiences lately where after the battle, the "combo chain activated" screen appears and then crew that I or a fleetmate was trying for nodes on that tier turns out to have solved a node on the new tier by chance so I'm just wondering what the sequencing is.

I’ve noticed that some times the FBB screen doesn’t update properly and you’re looking at old, cleared nodes. This can be fixed by restarting the game and the correct set of nodes will show. That’s liking what’s happening in your example.

But to your question, it seems that the cards are applied to the nodes when your attack run is finished. So if two player start at the same time, whoever finishes first clears the node. That is how it appears to me.

I've started a FBB run I was sure would complete the chain and reloaded Datacore in the hopes of preparing for the next nodes while the current one was still running, and it never works no matter how responsive the server is being. I agree that the nodes are applied after the end of the battle.

The timing on this works out quite nicely for me. I've got until Thursday to complete this week's continuum before my current quipment expires, but I can just spend chrons to get through it all and those all count towards the critical chroniton levels OE. And once I've got all the continuum rewards out of the way I can concentrate on unlocking quipment levels for crew that I'll probably never use again, which is unfortunately the only real way to complete it.

It would be really nice if the UI gave some indication of quipment slots/QP during crew selection. That would help a lot. But it's not going to happen before tomorrow, so I maintain a list of all the crew I have that are below quipment level 2 (and therefore easy to level up). It's a hassle, but it works. Just about.

Once again we are reminded that we can't see any information about our crew within the Continuum mission screen, and will have to keep exiting and going back to look at crew over and over to see who has gear equipped, and who needs experience to unlock another gear slot, and how much experience they need.

The number of taps needed to keep exiting and re-entering a specific continuum mission over and over is a real drag, and needs a huge QOL update.

100% agreed.

Agreed as well. I think Ben said during the last Q/A session that they were working on some continuum interface improvements. I hope they include this:

In the crew selection there I want to see slots open. Also, between stat creep, collection bonuses, and now quipment, crew can have 4 digit values for base, minimum, and maximum roll. It's time for the UI to built to properly handle showing all those values and not have a sloppy wrap where the values get hidden by other values on the screen.

There are plenty of anatomical differences between humanoid species, "humanoid" refers to their basic body shape (bipedal, pentadactyl limbs, 2 arms, one head etc). Klingons are humanoid, but have multiple additional internal organs (and at least one external). We know that bajorans and humans have some differences, just based on Kira's issues when carrying the O'Briens' baby (though those specific differences obviously wouldn't apply to a male body).

The point is, even with a cursory scan Bashir would be able to tell the difference between human and Bajoran anatomy. He has plenty of experience dealing with both, and he specifically said human.
