Big 3 getting Nerfed

Looks like the big FBP, SNB, and VM are getting nerfed soon. If you don't know what the last sentenced meant, allow me to explain. These are the three most powerful ability and some would argue, too powerful for the game balance. FBP stands for feedback pulse and when you use this ability, any beam attack you receive is bounced back to the attacker at greater damage. It has become a "must have" ability. VM stands for Viral Matrix, another powerful ability that takes your opponent ship offline -- in essence, making it a sitting duck where you can pound on. In a PvP match, this makes your opponent incredibly frustrated and angry.

Here is a forum post by the devs suggesting changes to these abilities and requesting feedback from the community. I think the changes are welcomed and would make the game more fun and discussing with the community first before nerfing the abilities is definitely a positive move.

Saurian Bridge Officers

If you bought the Amazon Pre-Order STO, you would get a bonus item of a Borg BO that has a unique "efficiency" trait. The only other way to get this special BO, is to find for a Saurian BO that has that trait. Most Saurian BO does not have this trait, so you need to hunt on the exchange for it.  A number of people bought theirs on the exchange for about 100k each.The last time I checked, they are selling for about 25 million on the exchange.
