Key notes*(Should help get us going again on marks)

-The Investigate Officer Reports mission now requires completing only 1 qualified mission, has a 30 min cooldown, and rewards 960 Dilithium and 50 Fleet Marks.

-The Fleet Action daily that randomly picks 1 of 3 missions now gives 50 Fleet Marks and 960 Dilithium.

(G's "No One Left Alive" ship build-test mission still counts for the foundry mission. If you can manage it, I've been getting around 300K worth of drops to help toward reputation commodity cost)

This issue was not addressed in today's patch notes...but it is vitally important if you are working on the Romulan Sigularity Harness:

A fix will be forthcoming on this project...

The "Rapid Fire" Torpedo that some people have gotten from this project was a prototype and placeholder, which ended up becoming the Omega Torpedo Launcher. The "Hyper-Plasma" Torpedo functions quite differently, and will soon be put in its proper place as the reward for this project.

When that reward is changed, anyone that has obtained the "Rapid Fire" version of this Plasma Torpedo will find it changed in their inventory to the proper "Hyper-Plasma" torpedo, which will register as a part of the Romulan Singularity Harness alt-set.

The Hyper-Plasma Torpedo is built around the concept of multiple targetable Plasma Torpedoes (as seen used by D'deridex NPC ships) and functions as follows:

- The Standard Fire launches 3 targetable torpedoes at the primary target, over the course of 3 seconds. Each projectile deals approximately 68.8% of the damage that would be dealt by an equivalent standard Plasma Torpedo.

- Using a Torpedo Spread upgrade results in 2 targetable torpedoes of approximately the same magnitude as the primary fire, heading towards 3, 4, or 5 targets at Rank 1, 2, and 3 respectively.

- Using a High Yield upgrade launches 3 targetable High Yield Plasma projectiles at the primary target, over the course of 3 seconds. Each projectile deals approximately 45% of the damage that would be dealt by an equivalent standard Plasma High Yield.

In short...the Hyoer Plasma Torp launcher is not ready yet...a placeholder is in the unlocks in it's place..until this is fixed the Singularity set is borked...Crptic fails yet again!

Also my mission "Q-Aholic" part 1 is eligible for this mission and is a lot shorter and easoer if your the easy way out people (like me) sadly the 7th intro mission is not eligible but I believe it is because there is not enough to do and I hope to rectify that by the weekend or early next week as I have finals.
