Commanders,
As some of you may know, we recently introduced a variety of changes to the Artifact Gallery. For anyone that may have missed it, the following has been adjusted and is live now:
- Unlocking Artifacts is now based on Ops level, not the Artifact Gallery building level.
- All Artifacts available for Commander’s Ops level will be available in the new version Artifact Restoration bundle.
- The original Premium Artifact Restoration bundle will still be available until the end of update 54.
- A Bonus Artifact Restoration has been added until the end of update 54.
We’ve also heard that many of you would like to have a bit more information on Formation Armadas and if specific Artifact shards come from certain level Formation Armadas. We’ve seen some Commanders making charts and tables on the rewards they’ve seen, and we wanted to make things a bit easier for everyone! Below is a list of the possible rewards available for each level of the Formation Armadas:

New Primes and Artifact Buffs
We’d also like to announce that two new prime nodes are available starting today! Over the past year, we’ve introduced a ton of new research to power up your fleet, saved time with the Ex-Borg faction, and provided new powerful officers that have fundamentally changed the game. One thing that has not received as much attention is ships and how to level them up. We want to provide an avenue for Commanders that focus on these ships and make it a bit easier to upgrade them.
Prime Efficient Ship Engineering
- Increases the base Cost Efficiency of Tritanium, Dilithium, Crystal, Gas, and Ore for Ship Components by 5 to 1000%
Prime Efficient Ship Parts
- Increases the base Cost Efficiency of Explorer, Interceptor, Battleship, and Surveyor Ship Parts for Ship Components by 5 to 700%
To go along with these prime nodes, we’re also adjusting four Artifacts to mirror some of these bonuses:
Scepter of the Grand nagus
- Increases the base Cost Efficiency of Grade 3 Crystal, Gas, and Ore for all ship components by 50 to 500%
K’Tinga Scale Replica
- Increases the base Cost Efficiency of Grade 4 Crystal, Gas, and Ore for all ship components by 50 to 500%
Scotty’s Trident Scanner
- Increases the base Cost Efficiency of ship parts for ship components by 70 to 700%
Spock’s Engagement Pendant
- Increases the base Cost Efficiency of Tritanium and Dilithium for all ship components by 60 to 600%
As always, we’d like to thank everyone for your constant feedback so we can make changes similar to what we did with the Formation Armada timers. Good luck in the Delta Quadrant, and as always, live long and prosper.
