Today’s maintenance has concluded, and we want to share more about what was addressed.

We know this maintenance notice came with less lead time than usual, and we’re especially aware that it followed a difficult stretch for many of you. We appreciate your patience and continued engagement.

During this maintenance, we addressed two separate issues.

The first issue involved the Battle Pass. After we relaunched it, we found that it was not appearing correctly for some players. In some cases, if the compensation bundle was claimed before the Battle Pass fully appeared, it could prevent the event from showing up as intended. Today’s maintenance was needed to correct that and restore proper access for affected players.

We also made an adjustment to Leslie’s Captain’s Maneuver, Minor Damage Control. Prior to the update Leslie was a marginal officer with very low usage, but has been exploding in popularity, not through intended changes to his power, but through a technical challenge in translating his abilities to the new world. A recent refactor of the games buff system to allow future growth and dynamic interactions across the game required us to alter how Leslie’s ability functions and had an unintended effect.

We can not reverse this Captains Maneuver to the prior state and worked to deliver as close an experience as possible. This has disrupted intended Faction Reputation progression and created an impact far beyond what was designed. We have spent time working through how to best preserve the original benefit and previous impact but could not find a suitable option.

Because this issue had a meaningful impact on game balance and was affecting progression in ways not intended, it required correction during today’s maintenance. We have capped Leslie’s Captain’s Maneuver at Hostile Level 51.

We also know Leslie is commonly used against V’ger Orion hostiles, and this adjustment might make those encounters more difficult for some players in the short term; as such, we have updated the Orion Assault (defeat V’ger Orions) with the following scoring, and we will monitor this topic closely: 

• -1 hostile level | 1pt 
• same level | 2pt
• +1 or higher | 5pts

Compensation will be provided not only for today’s short-notice maintenance, but also in recognition of the in-game challenges players have faced throughout the past month. We know this has not been an easy experience, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and continued engagement. We are not ready to share full details yet, but we will provide more information separately.

Thank you for your patience and for continuing to play Star Trek Fleet Command.

Live Long and Prosper,
-The Star Trek Fleet Command Team.
