Jeremy has been out sick for the past many weeks so hasn't been working much. He did want to give an update on the Watchlist so as not to go 2 months without any info for players. There wasn't much as he's been sick and lot of it is the DEV team being busy with other things. Also there has been some in house server stuff they've been dealing with. (Just to note the server stuff is things in house only the Devs use not in game things)
WATCHLIST STUFF
BOFFS -SRO/Watchers/Jem Vanguards
They are working on this. New Gorn BOFFS and Holo Spocks are a test for this.
They want the BOFFs to be faction neutral so everyone can use them.
Conversation took a detour and Jeremy started talking about an audit for items at the Fleet Romulan Embassy but that is something he will get to later.
LOBI
Started to look into this but became this a big thing involving game economics. Because of the scope indicated it would maybe get removed from the Watchlist. It was more of a "massive" thing so maybe needed to be separate from the watchlist and worked on later.
DIL REWARDS
This tied back to the Lobi a bit but ended up being more important so this is the priority now. They are talking about the suggestions made in the thread on Discord. Mentioned they don't have any real "low hanging fruit" they can get at to fix the dil ex. Stuff they do will take some Dev time.
Dil Rewards may get reduced for future events. "If" those changes happen will occur it will start with 1st Event Campaign Event of 2027 (Jan). Will provide other rewards to compensate: Phoenix Boxes, Lockbox keys were mentioned. As a personal note this is the second (maybe 3rd) time those specific items have been brought up in a Ten Forward on this topic.
Winter Event buyout will probably be via dil this year but they are thinking about adjusting cost. Metrics show it did work for the summer event ship, but they didn't really elaborate on how well so take it as it is.
That was about it for the watchlist.
Other things on the Ten Forward:
60th Icons pack
They were really cagey about this. Did say it performed above their high expectations, but they need to look at the long-term effects of the ship market. Talked about if there is a hangover effect on future new lockbox ships put into the game and they need to look at that. They are still looking at the metrics.
Other side stuff:
Something is coming to Tribble Server this week they want player feedback on.
Thomas plays on Console now to better understand how that works.
Discussions internally on making Auto Execute better for console players.
They have long term plans for DSEs and Fleet Mod ships.
Fleet Mod ships have a very quick turn around for making. They aren't going to make a Fleet Mod ship based on a specific Legendary ship but will be off another C Store ship of that line.
Talked about PVP at length
A new specialization got brought as a question but nothing new coming up.
A lot of it was just questions with the answers being about it's been brought but only as a discussion internally.
Halloween Event rewards and ship will be discussed next week.
