    Sona box will likely be the box after the next one, based on past release tendencies

    A single mission is not a "season", just because you have to play it again and again to get to a set. What a joke! Embarrassing.

    Agreed. Oh hey look, one episode and that's the season. Story development? Character development? A really interesting tale? Nope.

    The first half of the season was barely a season. Now this half is a new FE which you gave away the story to, a new player retention system (Endeavor), and new "Ferengi content" which is only another admiralty grind. Sigh.

    I think you guys made an error here since I clearly remember that J'mpok killed Martok in a duel and then took Martok's role as Chancellor.

    I remember when X.5 season updates could actually be considered major updates. Remember Season 8.5 and 9.5? Revamped crafting system, uniform revamp, etc in 9.5 and ship load outs, quick equip, ship switching, etc in 8.5. Man I miss the season 7-9 days.

    I'm pretty sure we never see said duel, but rather we're told about it second hand and klingons are capable of lying. For all we know J'mpok lied about killing Martok because Martok was captured by J'mpok's allies but without J'mpok's approval so to save both their faces J'mpok told that Martok was killed in a duel (an honorble way for a klingon to die).

    There seems to be a typo in the announcement. It says "New Stories" which I assume actually means "New Story" as once again it'll be a single new mission. I imagine that like in all previous seasons since, like 9, the bulk of the new story will be told on the website, instead of, you know, in the actual game. Because why make a mission when you can do a blog post?

    QFT.

    On top of that, they blow any suspense by announcing the ending in the blog IN ADVANCE! Use SPOILER TAGS, people!

    [MASSIVE SPOILER ALERTS FOR Cinderella, Psycho, and Planet of the Apes]
    That's like advertising Cinderella and saying, "Come see the story about the shoe that fits!" Or "Come see Psycho, where Norman Bates dresses as his own dead mother, and kills Janet Leigh in the shower!" Or "See Planet of the Apes - it's the future of earth!"

    See how easy it is to use spoiler tags?

    What is the Sona doing in the middle of this? And how did they get in the middle? I smell Baku somewhere in the mix coming..

    Sona, Baku, Tzenkthi, Lukari. 23c Starfleet?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What a mix! :o

    Sona holding Martok in a prison camp..
    Baku because of the history with the Sona and the metaphasics..
    Tzenkthi because of protomatter bombs..
    23c Starfleet indications on the first world explored with the Lukari..
    Lukari starting out in the galaxy and running into the Tzenkthi..

    I lose any sort of link between the Sona and klingon and Tzenkthi..

    One side we have the Sona and Tzenkthi and the other we have the Lukair, Klingons and starfleet..A bit baffled!!

    Grats to the advertising department for taking some random minor additions and promoting them in a "season". This business system of creating a makeshift 0.5 season and releasing a new lock box with it is still producing i see ... Well i just hope the next rather 'full" season will worth it.

    The thing i hate the most is that after waiting a damn long time to have NWS again they decided to make it an event. The explanation of our community manager for this dont stand regarding this one. He said they make this special events cuz people are getting bored after 1 month or so and don't play it ... IF only he knew that STO players had dedicated NWS channels and a good and pretty large NWS comunity ...

    The ONLY resonable explanation for making NWS and Sompek arena events is that this 2 could be considered something of a endgame content ... and they dont wanna give us that ...

    Still i really hope they will reconsider and us players should ask and pressure the devs to put this 2 misions into the game, i can really see a community forming fast for this 2 modes with channels and builds.

    I think you guys made an error here since I clearly remember that J'mpok killed Martok in a duel and then took Martok's role as Chancellor.

    From the J.G. Hertzler announcement blog:
    "As far as the Galaxy knows, Martok is dead – having been killed in an honor duel for the position of Chancellor by J’mpok in 2393. Where has he been for the last eighteen years? And what role will he play in the world of 2410? All of this will be revealed in an upcoming update to Star Trek Online."

    The ONLY resonable explanation for making NWS and Sompek arena events is that this 2 could be considered something of a endgame content ... and they dont wanna give us that ...

    Paraphrased from Ten Forward livestream:
    "If you make a queue permanent it often has a few months of significant life. Then, people get bored and move onto the next thing. We don't want that for Kobayashi Maru (and by extension Sompek)."

    They want these queues to remain fun and noteworthy.
    Grats to the advertising department for taking some random minor additions and promoting them in a "season". .

    Also this isn't a "season," it's a 0.5 update supplementing what's already been released for S13. This started back with season 8 and the current offerings are at least customary for what these have tended to be.

    There's significantly more here than a standard weekly update but not as much as a full season. Hence...

    Maybe the teaching of Martok's history is a part of the greater good?
    Like in deep space 9: in the pale moon light. Where Sisko has morale issues in tricking the Romulans into the war with the Dominion?
    Maybe Martok needed some redemption, and did it the Klingon way, and the new Chancelor needed "to kill" a grand warrior, to achieve some street creds?
    Maybe the lore chip gives u fedies and klingons the "it's a fake" emote :*

    Season feels a bit short, with episodes. Like the previous one. But I am looking forward to Martok!

    Son'a... meh.

    Martok is cool though. I wonder if they'll make him into a mission giver for the KDF side.

    And of course I'm curious as to what will happen to J'mpok and whether he's involved in what basically seems to have been the abduction of Martok.

    I don't think Martok will be chancellor though, not even if he killed J'mpok. Isn't it a bit dishonourable to allow yourself to be locked away while the rest of the galaxy is fighting dozens of major conflicts?

    This is also pretty light for a .5 update.

    I still think we are due for an Infinity Lockbox on July 6th with a new Lockbox on the 18th. I would predict the Ferengi Lockbox at the minimum will be part of this new Infinity. Count on a non-GPL Nagus Marauder as the T6 replacement for the D'Kora.

    I also believe we are in for a new Reputation, perhaps within a few weeks of 13.5. Privateer Rep is my candidate. All this goes along with the Ferengi Admiralty Campaign.

    But who knows.

    There won't be a Ferengi lock box redo, considering the Nagus Marauder was given for thank to some players for supporting the game. I think of it as an exclusive and cryptic usually does not really change stuff about how exclusives are given out.

    But who knows.

    Reputations have never come outside of a new expansion or seasonal release. We're stuck with the Competitive rep until Season 14 or whatever is next.

    And in regards to Season 13.5 being light, usually when they make lighter updates, it's usually because they have something big planned in the process. It's happened before. (Last year, we had the lead up to AoY with Season 11.5)

    the exclusive on the Nagus is the special ship skin. It has a gold plated hull option. :p

    Activating Consoles on the Nagus Marauder has dialog boxes indicating things like D'Kora Battle Mode, so yeah it is the replacement.
