      • Some ground skills improve Shields and Armor.
        • The base values of Shields and Armor were not reduced, so these skills just make them better.
    • Any players that had the previous max skillpoint value will be automatically adjusted to the new maximum.
  • Space and ground skills have been separated!
    • It's possible to spend all your skillpoints without maxing out either space or ground.

Systems[ | ]

  • Scaled Tachyon Harmonic knockback across versions I, II, and III.

Graphics[ | ]

  • Blog post here: http://www.startrekonline.com/node/2745
  • This release contains DirectX 11 support.
    • This new rendering API can drive video cards supporting DirectX 10 and higher: 10.1, 11, 11.1.
    • The initial release is essentially a port of our DirectX 9 rendering features to DirectX 11.
    • The game should mostly look the same, as we have not added a lot of support for newer DirectX 11 features, we’re just getting a base from which we will continue adding such features.
  • We have not ported all low-end video settings support, just mid-level and high-end features.
    • Therefore, under the DirectX 11 rendering option, there may be some graphics problems with Video Options slider set all the way to Minimum.
    • Also, on hardware that only supports DirectX 10, like Nvidia GeForce 8800s and 9800s, when Antialiasing is enabled we do not currently support many depth-dependent Video effects.
      • This includes High-quality shadow mode, depth-of-field, and some others.
      • This is because Nvidia and ATI have not provided us a special driver back door we have available under DirectX 9.
  • Resolved an issue with alt-tabbing while in fullscreen mode.
  • Improved support for multiple monitors.

Known Issues[ | ]

  • Some graphics settings can cause shadows to look ‘blocky’.
  • There may be other graphical glitches here and there. Please use the /bug command to report them.
