Star Trek Online Executive Producer Dan Stahl has posted the latest Engineering Report. In the report, Stahl discusses upcoming rebalancing of all ground weapons and kit power. Stahl also talks about new missions and Season 4 coming in June.
In addition to the Season 4 update, some of the development team is already working on new event missions which we will start releasing in Season 4. First up are some changes to deepspace random encounters and the addition of a PVE Fleet Queuing system which will allow up to 20 players to custom build teams and launch a Fleet Action map. Next up are some new Space and Ground 5 man challenge maps (think mini-fleet actions) which will allow both FED and KDF players to queue up and tackle a faction appropriate enemy on a daily basis for some new rewards. I've also been dropping hints about the Borg lately, and you can expect that soon after Season 4 goes live, the Borg will start to reveal their new invasion plans and the Alpha Quadrant will be faced yet again with a difficult challenge. By the time the Borg events are in full swing, Feature Episode series 4 will make its debut and we'll be back to Feature Episode series on a regular basis. Over the course of Season 4, you'll find that the team has been hard at work on things that we've only hinted at thus far. So excited and I wish I could tell you! (but I'm not going to yet).
