    A very subtle starship material :) Definitely like it, and much better than a more overt one

    Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.

    Ooh, gold trim for the Jupiter coats? Looks good. :cool:

    However, the KDF stuff seems a bit... underwhelming. But I guess since the Feds don't get much more than a new trim color, either, fair is fair.

    As for the ship material, I'll wait to see how it looks on my ships before I actually pass judgement.

    I'm sending a Semi-Pre-Thank You now...

    ... as I don't hit 900 for another 65 days.

    But I'm sure I'll appreciate it very much when I do get there and will send another TY at that time also.

    :D

    The fed stuff looks nice but the KDF stuff looks almost exactly the same as what we already have LOL as always.

    This does look very nice, but I still think THIS needs to still be addressed soon.

    Not bad. I was hoping for a "kick the monkey" emote, though. :eek:

    Wrist Attaches

    Or you could have called them what they are, Vambrace...
    not Gauntlets either...
    Just saying.

    Gold Decorated Jupiter uniforms?

    Sure. I can deal with this.

    I love the new title: Guardian is quite fitting for many of my Fed characters' roles. From what I can tell on those little pix (would be great if you guys let us click/expand for higher res pix in these blogs), the ship material looks pretty darn cool as well, as do the uniform updates (even the Klingons get some love, nice!). And who can't use another free Respec, eh wott?

    I'm about 46 days away from 900. Can't wait!

    BTW, I really like that you guys are adding value to the purchased Jupiter Packs with these little extra perks. Thank you for that! I wish you could do the same for some of the other Packs. I mean, too, if not actually add new stuff, at least parce out some "Costume Dev Time" to go back and spruce up some of the bugs, clipping, and whatnot that some of the Premium Costume Packs have. Please.

    And speaking of setting some time aside to go back:
    This does look very nice, but I still think THIS needs to still be addressed soon.
    I agree. Dstahl commented in the last Ask Cryptic that Season 6 tech was required to fix the 700 Day Vet Reward, but on Tribble there's no fix. It's possible, perhaps likely, that that part of the S6 code hasn't made it to Tribble yet, but please Cryptic, don't forget about this.

    You're now promoting the 900 Day Reward, making you 200 days overdue to finish 700 Day.

    Thank you.

    Or you could have called them what they are, Vambrace...
    not Gauntlets either...
    Just saying.
    Heh. Glad I wasn't the only one who shuddered at "Wrist Attaches", lol. :rolleyes:

    P.S. the Vet Rewards page linked in the blog needs updating (adding the "Guardian" title, and perhaps spelling out the costume pieces (as you did for 500 days)):

    I'm thinking that we probably won't see this added to Tribble...

    IF we see it at all, it'll probably go directly to Holo.

    (and that's a BIG IF at this point, cause I'm not entirely sure it WILL anymore :( )

    WOW! For 900 day rewards, it's just generic ripoffs of stuff we already have! I am so disappointed but not surprised at how little an effort Crytpic puts into these rewards! :mad:

    you know... you could lower your standards a bit there (or actually, you know, wait till you try them out yourself.).

    generic does not automatically equal bad

    It is when I was hoping for something new. I like the Jupiter costumes without the shiney TRIBBLE on it. KDF get a belt. WOW! So much effort went into that, season 6 will be delayed until this time next year! :P The hull looks are basically Aegis ripoffs. Yet again, I am not fond of the Tron look on my ship so the only decent thing in this for me is, the free respec token. All but one of my toons still have the bulk of theirs. Thanks anyway!

    I had hoped the KDF could have gotten something in Dark Grey or black, not more green and brown.

    *Please note that allied alien (Catiain Atrox Carrier, Vulcan D?Kyr, etc.) and lock box (Jem?Hadar Attack Ship, Cardassian Galor, etc.) ships, as well as the TOS Constitution class, are not able to use this new material.
    Oh you silly devs.. :rolleyes:
    • Add tons of alien ships to KDF side.
    • Huge amount of players fly alien ships.
    • Add 900 vet ship skin that doesn't work with alien ships.

    Please say the skin works with alien ships KDF side. :eek:
    Almost half the ships KDF side are alien ships. :(

    I'm pretty happy with this set of rewards because imo the KDF are getting the better end of the bargain.

    Brand new belt and vambraces? Sweet :D, Because I really hate the ones in game now, their all too bland to me.

    On the other hand, the Fed jackets are essentially a recoloring, I'm not a fan but anyone that is will be happy :D

    Not bad! I like the ship skin. The uniforms - meh. The gold trim is cool and all but I think maybe a variant of the Vice Admiral Coat would've been cooler.
