A new Research and Development School has been added called "Special Projects":
This school will be used to house projects which are not directly related to any existing R&D School, and do not reward nor rely upon R&D Research XP or Skill Levels.
The existing Omega Refinement R&D Projects have been moved from the Science School, to the Special Projects School.
This will have no impact on Projects that are already in-progress.
Omega R&D projects will remain available indefinitely, as part of this new Special Projects School.
For R&D mods, added missing damage bonus for the enhancements [Pen], [Thrust], [Snare], [Over], [Rapid], and [Sprd].
This will cause weapons with those enhancements to correctly do bonus damage for their quality.
Added the [Run] mod as a possible mod for crafted ground weapons.
This mod grants +15% run speed while the weapon is equipped.
The massive beam attack used by Undine Planet Killers is no longer subject to the Beam Overload "always crit" mechanics.
It has been restored to function as it did before the recent changes to Beam Overload.
This will result in far fewer Critical Hits, but a higher base damage value for non-Crits.
Reduced the number of Reputation Marks required by the Hourly projects for Delta and Counter-Command reputations from 20 to 15.
This brings them in line with other Reputation hourly requirements.
Resolved an issue that prevented the gold rarity mod on Secondary Deflectors from applying correctly to the player.
Powers:
Command Bridge Officer Abilities:
Call Emergency Artillery:
AOE Damage increased by 60% at all ranks.
AOE Radius increased from 2km to 3km around each Artillery Vessel.
Ambush Marker:
Ambusher Ship damage increased at Rank II and III, by 25% and 50% respectively.
Phalanx Formation:
Markers are no longer visible to opponents in PvP, and do not grant their buffs to PvP opponents.
Rally Point Marker:
Instant Shield Healing value increased by 50%.
The Hull and Shield Healing values can now be increased using Hull Repair and Shield Emitters skills, respectively.
Concentrate Firepower:
Duration extended from 15 seconds to 20 seconds.
Free "High Yield I" Mode now only triggered by Torpedo hits to ensure it is not granted to a player that cannot use it.
Any ally that receives the free High Yield I Mode will also instantly have all torpedo cooldowns reset.
Resolved an issue that was preventing the extra Kinetic Damage from reliably being added to Torpedo hits.
Command Bridge Officer Abilities and Kit Modules:
Many Command Abilities did not previously have correct Shared Category Cooldowns in place, allowing for unintended stacking capabilities when using more than one copy of the ability at different ranks.
The following Shared Cooldowns now affect all ranks of the listed ability, whenever any are activated:
Space:
Overwhelm Emitters – 15 seconds
Concentrate Firepower – 15 seconds
Reroute Power from Life Support – 15 seconds
Rally Point – 30 seconds
Subspace Interception – 60 seconds
Needs of the Many – 30 seconds
Ambush Marker – 30 seconds
Phalanx Formation – 30 seconds
Emergency Artillery – 15 seconds
Suppression Barrage – 20 seconds
Ground:
Take Cover – 20 seconds
Hammer and Anvil – 20 seconds
Overwhelm Shields – 10 seconds
Shock and Awe – 30 seconds
Strategic Analysis – 10 seconds
Delegated Devastation – 15 seconds
Timely Intervention – 30 seconds

The healing bonus applied by the Regenerative Integrity Field console now scales better on high-end ships, offering a bonus that is far closer to the actual value reflected on the tooltip.
Neutronic Torpedo Launcher:
Resolved an issue that was causing it to reference incorrect damage values with Torpedo Spread:
Torpedo Spread 1 = Base Damage increased by ~42% per Torpedo
Torpedo Spread 2 = Base Damage reduced by ~17% per Torpedo
Torpedo Spread 3 = Base Damage reduced by ~36% per Torpedo
Number of torpedoes and damage of Radiation AOE remain unchanged
Resolved an issue that was causing it to reference incorrect damage values with Transport Warhead:
Transport Warhead 1 = Unchanged
Transport Warhead 2 = Base Damage increased by ~17%
Transport Warhead 3 = Base Damage increased by ~33%
Damage of Radiation AOE remains unchanged.
The power drain inflicted by the Neutronic Torpedo can now be resisted by things like Power Insulators.
Updated the Polarized Tetryon Beam Array and Polarized Dual Tetryon Beam Bank from the mission rewards of "The New Link".
In order to reduce confusion with other Polarized weapons, these are now labeled as "Resonating Tetryon" weapons.
These now have two mods: [Chance] and [Dmg].
This means that their damage output should be comparable to other blue Tetryon weapons of the same type.
Their [Chance] mod means that they have a 5% chance to cause extra shield drain which is down from the previous 10%, because they now inflict more base damage.
These weapons are now fully supported by the Upgrade system.
Embassy Console Plasma Procs:
Resolved an issue that was allowing the damage of these procs to scale with consoles that improved Plasma and/or Energy Damage, including themselves.
Resolved an issue with their damage scaling potential that was causing them to benefit disproportionately from Mk XIII, Mk XIV and Gold-quality upgrades.
Aceton Assimilator: Now drains the amount shown in the Tooltip, minus any resistances the target may have.
Load Viral Torpedo: Resolved an issue where multiple Viral Torpedoes could get loaded within a single reload period when triggered by Tactical Team.
The "Chroniton Flux Torpedo" reward from "The New Link" was just a Chroniton torpedo with [Dmg]x2, and it now displays as such.
It can be upgraded like a normal Chroniton torpedo.
Resolved an issue with Enhanced Armor Penetration that was causing it to give 50 Armor Penetration instead of 5.
Resolved an issue that would sometimes cause Voth set items to not provide set bonuses such as "Hunker Down".
Bio-molecular weapons now gain the appropriate bonus to damage based on their quality level.
Timely Intervention no longer attempts to rescue turrets and drones.
It can only be activated to save Players and Bridge Officers.
Ionic Turbulence:
The immunity period applied by being knocked by this ability now lasts 20 seconds versus Players.
NPCs still only receive a 10 second immunity period if knocked by this ability.
Resolved an issue that was preventing the Lockout/Immunity Period from working correctly.
Altered the power's activation sequence so that it now travels to the target's current location, instead of tracking them.
In other words, the projectile can now be avoided if the player moves quickly enough.
Resolved an issue with the Command Battlecruiser Console Set Bonuses that was causing some bonuses to flicker and/or not reliably apply.
Foundry[]
