*sigh* just my luck, Sompek comes back when I'm building my new PC so my gametime is iffy, well it's not Cryptic's fault. They couldn't have known nor should they care about it anyway.
Happy to see the Arena back, though one question. All of the arena rewards are claimable on new toons except the Sompek Pulsewave, can or will this become available in the future for new toons on accounts that had already completed it beforehand; as the other rewards are?
Space is vast, it's wonderful and maddening. Yet in that madness is some of the greatest beauty I have ever seen.

Sompek Pulsewave was not wekeend event, but 14-voucher event (I think). The store tab name is also named "Weekend Event" not "Sompek Arena Event"
I think the Sompek Pulsewave should go into the Phoenix box. Preferably as a rare or very rare.

Things I want in STO:
1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!
I'll believe it when I see it & am able to play it, Cryptic. Or maybe this is Cryptic's plan to have us play it for a token one weekend at a time. Some sort of new event scheduling lol.
If the Arena implementation crashes and burns this weekend too - can you roll out the Tholian RA as a replacement?

It is obvious that the major changes they made with AoD broke portions of Sompek. We will be getting fallout from that as other Events roll out.
As long as you have Weekend Vouchers you can buy and Account unlock any and all previous Sompek WEEKEND rewards. The fourteen day Sompek, if you didn't run it at the time, will probably have to wait for addition to the Phoenix as suggested above. It'll have to get in line behind the ISS Stadi.

Thank you for bringing it back so soon. Any complimentary tokens or extra day for last time's messy roll out?
1.) they can't 'bring it back' unless it actually was here before for it's full duration.
2.) thanking them for fixing something that shouldn't have been put out live broken in the first place seems like... Stockholm Syndrome? Or is it just that our competency bar for Cryptic is so low we didn't expect them to get it fixed for 6 months, if ever.
"Oh waiter, I'd like to thank you for not spilling that huge plate of food on my lap! You are so wonderful!"
Yeah... the bare minimum of competency is not something you generally thank someone for doing.
Now about my Echo Papa Drone STILL stopping me from running...
The Voth outfit hips layer still having 'too much gravity' issue...
etc...
Fixed or simply rolled back to the previous incarnation where waves would spawn but you might need some mortars that can fire outside the boundaries to kill them?
Advice to anyone playing the timed version. DO NOT PLAY IT PAST ROUND 6. Just play it to the point where the weekend token is given and die as a team. What is it 25/30mins of shooting enemies ?. Just decided to PUG it got stuck in a team that wanted to play till the end, well round 28 and a hefty 83 marks (less if I didn't use the rep bonus vouchers from lockboxes) and 600 dil.
Unless you're going in it for how far can I get, marks and dil reward is not worth the time spent there if you just drop in for the voucher and don't exploit the 5 and die tactic .
Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.

I guess one should not ever expect things to work out as smooth as intended when it comes to STO.

Puny weakling! Timed is so you can speedrun and see how many waves you can crush in only 20 minutes!

I did the timed so it would timeout if I got stuck till the end. I find the map boring, its the same thing for x time with different skins and the odd different skill a NPC uses. If this was a permanent TFO it would top of my avoid like the plague list and bail every time if a random TFO threw me into it. Too long/tedious and poor rewards until you start hitting level 30 and over but thats over 25 mins plus of play. Can't think of any other TFO that takes this long with poor returns for the time spent in it
Only 1 more run needed for the token. I think I shall look for a sompek suicide team.

If it can just stay unbroken for 2 days I'll get the meh shield I'll dump off on one of my boffs...
Heh, after getting the shield, it's pretty OP. It comes at purple with Cap*2 Reg, and a stack of other abilities. So yeah, it's definitely equal to rep gear set items.

Good to know about the shield. I figured it would definitely help during Sompek but wondered about its usefulness outside of that event.
Sompek seems to be operating good & normal this time around.

Would be nice if they just added it to the existing rewards, for maybe 1 Sompek voucher. Might have to be per character that way, but the account-wide rewards are 3 each, and the event typically runs for 4 days, so I always pick up the spare to save for later, anyway. Admittedly, that might just be me.

Nope. But anyone who was lucky enough to get a token before will have a head start.
Besides... its a weekend event. Not a full 3 week one.
