New Features:
New Featured Episode: Scylla and Charybdis
- The new Featured Episode “Scylla and Charybdis” has been added to the Featured Episode tab in the journal.
- Travel to the Alpha Quadrant and await a hail from command to take the offensive against the Tzenkethi!
- This episode is available for level 10 Captains and above.
- For more information, please visit the “Scylla and Charybdis” blog at: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/xbox/star-trek-online/news/detail/10816594
Re-Engineering:
- Re-Engineering gives the ability for players to re-roll some mods in order to craft and modify certain pieces of Equipment to greater satisfaction.
- A new resource has been added to the game to make this system work: Salvage.
- Salvage is rewarded to Captains from salvaging equipment obtained from loot drops.
- Salvaging a piece of equipment will destroy it and reward an amount of Salvage based on the equipment’s Mark and Quality.
- Salvage cannot be traded between characters.
- The amount of Salvage the captain possesses may be viewed on the Assets tab of the inventory.
- The cost of Re-Engineering a piece of equipment will be dependent on how many available mods the player has chosen to unlock.
- The overall price to randomize increases with each mod that is unlocked, but the cost-per-mod goes down.
- This translates as a cost efficiency bonus, at the cost of additional randomization.
