Commanders,

Since the start of the most recent Strange New Worlds Arcfall, we’ve received quite a few comments about the newly added Galaxy Tree Extension and the Faction Allegiance daily goals. We wanted to provide everyone an update on these two items and how we’re going to change them going forward:

Faction Allegiance Daily Goal

We know there have been some questions about the new Faction Allegiance daily goals and will be modifying it in a few ways. Our goal is to make this easier for those eligible to understand and participate in since we’ve gotten a bit of feedback that it can be confusing.

Moving forward there will be only one Faction Allegiance goal that will be automatically included in the daily goal list and will allow you to target either Federation, Klingon, or Romulan ships. You’ll still get to pick which Faction to gain credits from in the Faction Stores after collecting 7 Faction Allegiance tokens, but that will not affect your Daily Goal.

We’ve also rebalanced the goal so that it is more inline with the current faction hostile daily so some ops levels will have a decreased number/level of ships required to hit.

Galaxy Tree Extension

We’ve heard loud and clear that many of you feel that the Galaxy Tree Extension nodes are lackluster and don’t provide the benefits you’d expect. With any new research, we want to not only provide benefits that are exciting but also feel impactful as you journey through the galaxy. We understand that we missed the mark on this, so will be increasing the benefits of  the following nodes:
