This new Secondary Specialization focuses on abilities that can shift between offensive and defensive effects at will.

The new Threatening Stance ability in the Skill Revamp plays a heavy part in this secondary specialization.

New abilities include: Logistical Support: Gain temporary Hull when healed while Threatening. While not Threatening, gain a Critical Chance buff when healed. Show of Force: Gain increased incoming Healing while Threatening. While not Threatening, gain a stacking energy weapon damage buff for each foe you hit with energy weapons. Counter-Offensive: Reflect 150% of incoming energy weapon damage back to your attacker. This can trigger once every 15 seconds and reflect a maximum of 10,000 damage. Layered Defense: Gain immunity to damage from Torpedo impacts. Can prevent damage once every 60 seconds. Diversionary Tactics: Taunts foes within firing range into attacking you while Threatening, While not Threatening, this placates foes and reduces your threat generation. This Placate may break on damage. Attrition Warfare: Reduces the Recharge Time of your Bridge Officers whenever you are healed while Threatening. While not Threatening, Attrition Warfare increases your Hull and Shield Regeneration rates. Maneuver Warfare: Adds an additional effect to Diversionary Tactics. When Threatening, it applies a Heal over Time based on the number o foes. When not Threatening, it increases your damage based on the number of foes.

Only one Secondary Specialization can be active at a time.

This is still a work in progress.

Resolved an issue which was booting players out of PvE queues after entering them.

Skill Revamp: Resolved a typo in "Threatening Stance" and "Threatening Posture" that still indicated 2sec activations, instead of every 1 sec. Bridge Officers now gain the correct Ground Skills from the new system as they level up. Resolved an issue that was preventing Klingon players from receiving some of their Transwarp abilities. EPS Manifold Efficiency (Eng Trait) now has the duration of 15 seconds. Hooked up Romulan and Klingon icons.



The Skill System Revamp is still a work in progress: There may be lingering mentions of “Crew” on reward packs and other items.

The Strategist Secondary Skill is still a work in progress.

The Romulan Republic Admiralty Campaign is still a work in progress.
