Q: Can you tell us more about the Borg Ground Invasion? Any plans to mix up (the Borg Space Invasions) by adding different objectives or changing any part of them to keep the play fresh?
A: The Ground Invasion we are working on will put a specific species home world in jeopardy. In the movie First Contact, the crew of the Enterprise views an assimilated Earth in the future. We wanted to bring this sort of tension into the game by having the Borg make an effort to assimilate a planet and show both the Federation and KDF just how difficult it is to remove the Borg from a planetary population center once they dig their heals in. The new zone will allow captains to play solo or team up with others in order to complete a host of different missions aimed at combating the Borg creep and rescuing as many civilians as possible before they become Borg. This will be a timed event that will take place over the course of a few hours, after which the Borg will retreat and regroup, then try again. In order to complete many of the objectives, players will need to work quickly to maximize their time and take advantage of the opening. Also, we do plan to make additional changes and improvements to the Borg Red Alerts such as adding objectives and tuning difficulty. You may even see a few new challenges get added in coming months.

So far, every Red Alert I've found my self in, it has shown I was LA while I was only a LT. I am not sure if this information is accurate in the Quote, or if they reciently changed that information.
Can you describe to me what you did in your attempt to join the channel while on Tribble please?
I typed 'REDALERT [TTS]' - with a space after T. The button changed to join. I clicked it and, nothing happened. no new channel added.
I hear the REDALERT channel having total fits when someone asks about RA's on tribble, then direct them to this channel...Only for the channel to stay perfectly silent.... heh
And I've now ranked up a KDF Jem'Hadar called Jem'Tribblar to Major General, so close to max level and I've got to tier 2 marauding / exploration.
I also put up a foundry mission on the Fed side called "Tribble Four Seven" designed for testing purposes only and I just recently (2days ago) put up a foundry mission on the KDF side called "Silence of the Targs" designed as a template for testing, but it's good enough to be a real Holodeck mission.
So what do I have left on my list...
A couple of missions remaining, STF's, dailies and REDALERTS!
BUT I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE GROUND INVASION!!!
Can you hear me? lol
So be prepared and join the REDALERT [TTS] channel for all Borg Invasion content discussion on the Tribble Test Server.
