Season 10: Any news or Updates? Wiki not much help.

Did Google search and checked Wiki, but really not much to go on. Most Threads I could find were month or two old. Seeing if any hardcore STOers had any glimmer of insight from possible clues. I know [Redacted] blah, blah! Info is so tight these days it seems to me. Or is it that Cryptic has plugged all leaks and gone all NSA on us? LOL

This lack of information is a bit concerning really. We knew that Delta Rising was coming. Information had been coming out for months. The same with the Legacy of Romulus expansion. Cryptic can't keep things to themselves usually - bits of information leak out, things are released early by mistake or people spot text changes in tool tips, things like that.
There's been nothing at all about Season 10. Not a word.
I don't think we should assume that it's actually coming.
Free Tibet!
"The rolling updates will continue, as well; the Romulan arc for the Federation, for example, is next on the remake block. Bridge officer training and the skill system are also under examination as things that need to be brought up to par with the rest of the game."
Other than that, there hasn't been much word on this or anything else.
I believe it was stated upon the release of Delta Rising that new content was to be periodically added through the months until we had reached the launch of Season 10. I figured (when reading) that we'd have concluded whatever Cryptic were trying to do with Delta Rising by then. I would therefore imagine that the content for Season 10 would be more home front than it would be elsewhere.
They could do with focusing on mends, and tidying the whole game up - that would be fitting for Season 10, but we know they wont do that cause there's little money in it, unfortunately.
A few things for Season 10 that I think we can pretty much guarantee; that'll be a new lock box and lobi ship, likely with the addition of another T5R Delta Retrofit ship. There have been rumours about another fleet project (Spire/Mine etc) so we'll probably get that too. The Undine, Voth and Borg will probably feature in some huge way, and we wont get any closer into the Iconian story. An additional STF (or two) is also likely, though probably it'll cater to T6 players.
Content will be Universal, though catered for FED players. FED players will also likely receive another bunch of ships in the C-Store (I'm going to guess four, with at least two skins each). KDF & Republic players will be lucky to get one ship, and they wont come with extra skins. Dilithium prices will rise, rewards will drop, we wont have any Cardassians, and we'll still be waiting for the new Negh'Var and Fleet Guramba (both promised years ago). Feline species (Caitian/Ferasan) still wont have true feline legs, nor desired hair, and the Venture/Monarch skin still wont be accessible on the Nebula/Galaxy Dreadnought.
So I am not at all concerned about a "lack of information" on this part.
They first need to finish up the winter event, we'll most likely (and unfortunately) get another grindversary, probably a mid-season/expansion update.

I think they are still busy adjusting DR. Basically, adding more grind, and not understand why players complain.
Also, with the holidays coming, they'll probably take a break. Finally, they might be working on the next gamblebox-Cstore ship.
I expect a half season with the revamped Romulan story arc, some goodies for the feds, the scraps for the kdf, and maybe a little something for the Rom. If they are lucky. With that, perhaps a new post-DR episode, involving Sela (or not).
Then a new season with a new rep, a new cash grab, and some grind on top of it, alongside a new post-dr episode.

Actually I've noticed that the Nebula's Magellan skin kind of looks like the Monarch.
I don't know if it would be that late but perhaps...may not see or hear much till January at least...with the Winter Event running now and in a month and a half we'll have the next anniversary...which they may be working on now.
The Magellan and Monarch are the same skin (though constructed to work for the Nebula and Galaxy independently). The Nebula though cannot make use of the Venture Skin, and the Galaxy Dreadnought cannot make use of the Monarch Skin (even though the custom Galaxy can). The ability to use the Venture Skin on the Nebula, and the Monarch Skin on the Galaxy Dreadnought would complete the two ships for me.
Seriously, I rather have no Season 10. Rather, just normalize Upgrade prices, unnerf the queues, so they're available again, give me a Vaudwaar lockbox ship, and a Fleet Phantom, and I'm good.
This, the Anniversary is the next fairly large thing They are probably working on now,
The Spring event will probably just be an update to existing stuff and then we go into the Summer event with whatever new stuff They have added.
I don't expect to see another large addition to the game till late summer to mid-Fall 2015.

But, I am not surprised we haven't heard anything yet. The Winter Event is on (and they still have fixes to make on that, LOL), and I'm sure things will slow down a little for the Christmas/New Year's holidays.
I'm thinking that you'll hear more in January (I'm sure Geko will spill beans in a podcast interview or something). You'll probably get the skill revamp, secondary deflectors, the new fleet holding with T6 Fleet ships... new lockbox, of course... and maybe a Featured Episode.
Yeah, I hope not (for the sake of those waiting since 8 or 8.5)... and, they kinda already are exclusive to T6 ships. All T6 science ships have them, now.
A new episode. (They hinted at that for around Q1 2015.)
A new crafting category. (They hinted at that.)
Kit upgrades. (Hinted at.)
New Fleet projects. (Also hinted at.)
Fleet Tier 6 Ships, with or without a new upgrade mechanism for Tier 5U.
Maybe a new queued event or two or an adventure zone.
Maybe 1-2 new specializations (hinted at; likely Counselor and Medic as secondary specializations).
Possibly the introduction of hybrid bridge officers who have Commando and Pilot abilities. My suspicion is that secondary specialization BOs will be usable without a need for special hybrid seating.
Yeah considering Season 9 & Expansion 2 has basically the same amount of content ... it is really confusing these days ... I don't think they know the difference themselves ... if DR is the new "standard" for "Expansion", the next "Season" is gonna be pretty disappointing ...
That's the funny thing ... some people might connect that statement to DR ... but ever since D'Angelo & Geko took over it was repeated every Update / Season etc ... so yes that's exactly what they're gonna say ...

Well pilot/commando could be as prominent if they treat them as a single specialization addition. IE. add a comparable number of powers for space and ground, only with differential branding between the two spec types (alternatively they could add two spec officers types, one ground one space, but between them still pulling form that comparable pool of powers to intel).
However, I don't imagine that we'll ever see existing hybrid seats replaced by another specialization. 1. That would TRIBBLE with existing setups and ship balance. 2. That would also pre-empt new ships, even at a conceptual level (if the Guardian for example remains as a generalized intel cruiser Cryptic would be justified in adding another generalized specialization cruiser for the new spec type.)
