Patch Notes for 2/26/26

[UHQBot]

In response to some release bugs found in the Aetherian Concordium Lockbox, all players will be able to claim a special compensation package from the Zen Store starting today. This will be available only for a limited time and may only be claimed once per account. It contains 10x Master Keys, 2x Ultimate Tech Upgrades, as well as account-bound versions of each of the following:

• 1x Reward Pack containing "All Aspects Accounted For" Space Trait Unlock Token
• Aetherian Concordium Vanity Shield

The previously missing items have been added to the Lockbox. Additionally, we are going to unbind all character bound Aetherian Kit Frames with this patch.

General

• Resolved a potential progression blocker in the episode during the hangar sequence with Dax, which could occur if all enemies were defeated instantly upon exiting the cutscene.
• Added a console in the corridor preceding the Core Room to prevent progression stall. This console only becomes visible and interactable once progress is made inside the Core Room.
• Elite Hazard Team Personal Shield: Added the missing modifier for the Epic quality tier.
• NX Grappler: Removed the Starfleet Allegiance requirement from the non-dynamic NX Grappler, allowing it to be equipped on all ships. Additionally, you can no longer equip both versions of the item simultaneously.
• Fixed a bug that was causing the Scimitar's Battle Cloak to not trigger certain effects on expiration, if the ship had the "Singularity Distributor Unit" console equipped.
• Fixed a typo in the description of the Orb of Possibilities.
• Fixed a bug that was preventing the item "Promotional Master Key" (included in many Store Bundles) from automatically opening to grant one Master Key.
  • If you have copies of this item in your inventory, use the Right-Click context menu and choose "Use" to force them to become usable Master Keys.
• The pet construct summoned from the kit module “Gleaming the Cube” is no longer able to use the ability “Claim Construct”.
• Empersa Alliance MW Juggernaut:
  • Added the missing Alliance Cloaking Device.
  • Updated the Reward Pack description to accurately reflect the Starship Trait's duration (60 Seconds).
  • Resolved a visual issue that prevented several decals from appearing on the ship's lower hull.
• “Belly of the Beast" TFO: 
  • Adjusted console collision bounds to ensure characters of smaller statures can reliably interact with them.
  • Interacting with the consoles to ask for aid from other players will now count toward the interaction requirements for determining potential AFK Penalties. (It previously did not.)
  • Slightly reduced the reach of the Apex’s Backhand attack, which he used to attack players during his roaming phases.
• “Devil’s Heart” TFO:
  • Requirements to avoid AFK Penalty in this TFO have been made slightly stricter.
