HOLODECK update: 6/20/2013

Star Trek Online's live HOLODECK shard got a significant update today, not the least of which is the new Dilithium Mine Fleet Holding! Fleets leveling up their mines will see a discounted rate on Dilithium, Fleet Mark, and Commodity inputs for the rest of their Fleet Holdings such as the Fleet Starbase and Fleet Embassy on New Romulus, so fleets will likely see this as a priority to level up first.

There's much more than just a Dilithium Mine being added, however. Head to STO's Patch Notes page for details or continue here after the jump:

Hope to see many of you Thursday!

Calendar Update: Bonus Mark Events

An update to the Calendars on SubspaceAgenda.blogspot.com:

At some point (presumably when Legacy of Romulus launched, although I've scoured the patch notes several times and could not find it or any other announcement of this), a change to the hourly calendar happened where the Fleet Bonus Mark Event and Reputation Bonus Event have been merged together into a single 3-hour (usually) Bonus Mark Event.

I've added this event to the STO Miscellaneous Events calendar since it is much more than just a fleet event.
