Two nice point in this weeks update which also HAS NO MENTION OF THE SPECIAL-SUPER-SECRET NEWS due tomorrow.

Crafting Item Modifiers

For at least since the last R&D Weekend, players have noticed that the randomly generated modifiers that you see in the results windows do not reflect the item you get.  For some reason there was a ‘rerolling’ of the modifiers when you actually receive said item.  Most annoying, especially for those crafters seeking weapon mod perfection.

This has been fixed 😉

Dilithium Vouchers

One of the #firstworldproblems ship collectors have to deal with is an over abundance of Dilithium mining claims. Normally they’re a almost-nice-to-have reward from lockboxes, but for many players they are something we don’t get around to using.  Like Canadian quarters (or Amercian change) they build up over time and you’re left wondering how and where can I spend them.  In my case I’ve built up so many, there is no mathematical way I can turn them in before the supply replenishes.

I’ve asked a number of times if we could resell them, or give them away.  As of tomorrow we will be able to turn them in groups of up to 50 for either fleet vouchers or Reputation vouchers.  Both are perfectly acceptable alternative uses for something which currently has the same value as a degree from Trump University.  By not making them universal, STO has protected the already overburdened dilithium exchange.  I’m totally fine with this outcome.

Thank you Star Trek Online! Fellow Armada members!  Dilithium Incoming!
