Commanders.
Update 94.1 arrives with a reworked 7-Day Login Streak, making Faction Bulk Claims available to all Ops 25+ players while introducing a new Exocomp reward for maintaining your daily streak.
This update also includes an Alliance Tournaments update, improvements to reward claiming, Bulk Research and Wave Defense, new measures to address chat spam, and bug fixes across Infinite Incursions, Ships, Stores, and more.
Update 94: Cause & Effect News
7-Day Login Update
Originally we wanted to reward players with an ongoing streak with a powerful convenience benefit, and while looking at the whole playerbase a majority of players maintain the streak, what we didn’t properly plan for were the individual experiences as we all occasionally drop out of play.
Based on all of our experience following the release, and the feedback across the community we worked to remove the restriction on the bulk claim benefit, but also offer a different benefit for maintaining the streak.
From the latest update Bulk Claim will be available to everyone Ops 25+ without the streak restriction. Completing a 7-day login streak will now grant a 24-hour Exocomp that increases Warp Speed, Building Speed, and Research Speed. Even better, for each day that a player maintains their daily login streak over 7 days, they will be granted the 24-hour Exocomp. The Exocomp activates upon logging into the game.
Missing a day and breaking the 7-day streak means that the 24-hour Exocomp will stop being granted, and the player will need to complete another 7-day streak in order for it to be granted again
Alliance Tournaments
We will not be running Alliance Tournaments during the Update 94: Cause & Effect Arc as we continue working to improve the overall experience. We’ll share more information about the next run as details become available.
To account for the skipped run, Ra’Ul Raider Blueprints will be available through the upcoming Star Trek Day and Labor Day Event Series. We will also be opening the Alliance Tournament Store for a limited time and sending out a gift chest with Alliance Tournament currency before the end of Update 94.
Battle Pass
We want you to know that the Update 94 Choice Tokens will not carry over to the next Battle Pass and should be spent before the end of the Token Exchange on September 10. Future Choice Token Exchanges introduced with upcoming Battle Passes will use a new token currency.
Quality of Life Improvements
Addressing Chat Spam
A number of additional checks and verifications have been implemented to tackle the prevalence of chat spam within the game. We will continually work to support players and tackle efforts like this by third parties, but please be wary of any unsolicited communication or requests to connect.
Bundle Claiming
We’ve made several improvements to claiming rewards, making the process faster and more flexible. Bundles can now be claimed more quickly, and players can continue navigating through other screens while claims are being processed. Players can also combine multiple Claim All, Bulk Claim, and single claims without having to wait for each one to finish.
Bulk Research Update
We have added an improvement to Bulk Research that sorts the requirements by type instead of grouping them all together.
Wave Defense
Improved Wave Defense spawning by optimizing how new waves are processed. This reduces potential delays when waves spawn and helps provide smoother, more consistent updates throughout Wave Defense encounters.
2nd U.S.S. Athena Sourcing
U.S.S. Athena owners now have access to a new Academy Refinery exchange, providing an additional way to source U.S.S. Athena Blueprints. Eligible players can trade U.S.S. Athena Data Modules for Blueprints, creating another in-game path toward progressing or unlocking an additional U.S.S. Athena.
Academy Field Pass
Relocated Academy Field Pass claims from the Athena Refinery to the Ship Resources Daily Claim in the Gift Section, making it easier for players to bulk claim these resources.
Neelix & Harry Kim Abilities
Neelix’s and Harry Kim’s Ability names have been updated to be more lore-accurate after the art swap in M94.
Field Training
Improved Milestone point indicators for Tasks in the Field Training area, making progress requirements clearer.
