The winter event is a ton of fun, and I was wondering about ideas to help extend it further for next year!
My idea is to add hunting the wildlife as a progression option to get more klingon-esque gear. There's plenty of open space that is unused that can have additional herds of animals thrown into it. Say two different breeds of animals, one more passive for low-levels, one more aggressive for high levels. Kill an animal, and it leaves a hide, either low or high quality. Turn in the hides for special costume gear like fur hats, gloves, coats, sashes, boots that have the appropriate look and spot pattern.
Adding a tanner to the Klingon starbase and allow for Targ and other animal pelts as well would be perfect, but a bit too fantasy MMOish. Be cool to get drops from killing Romulan wildlife though!
How about a way to team up with friends so we can actually stay together and see where we are with respect to each other? It's kind of ridiculous that we can't do this already. Aren't we supposed to be socializing in these zones?
A private queue for ground races would be awesome, or some way to queue as a team. That way a fleet can run races without interlopers getting involved.
Snowpocalypse: When the snowball fight starts, a random zone will have "SNOWPOCALYPSE!"
half the respawn timers on the snowmen
500 kill count under the same timer
Double the HP on the Overlord
Double the rewards for finishing.

I don't get it I would of thought that a mighty Klingon warrior would want to be off hunting saber bear or some other vile beast. I never would have tought that battling snowmen was a test of a warriors mettle.
Then again you look like a guy I remember who went to red alert every time he saw a derelict satelite floating about.
All the Captain Powers and kits are disabled right?
And their normal weapons were inoperable and we have to use snowball guns right?
So why not next year, special WW Kits as well as the snowguns?
Just make them WW versions of existing power and kit abilities.
Engineer:
Snow Fort: a short snow castle like fort appears in front of the Engineer-> Works similar to a Cover Shield
Snowball Turret: lunches snowballs (normal snowball damage) at closest target
Science:
Hot Chocolate: minor heal +shortens/stops the Held by ice -> works similar to Medical Tricorder
Playful Snowball: AoE Stun/Hold as the snowmen laugh merrily to themselves-> works similar to Anethizine
Tactical:
Snowman escort: Summons 2 Snowmen escorts -> works like Security Escort but are Snowmen in Redshirts.
Snowball Grenade:AoE damage and knockback -> similar to Photon grenade, it could use the existing snowball throwing animation since it already uses the grenade throwing animation, AoE damage similar to the Avalanche secondary

Yes well they won't let me do that and make a Saber Bear skin jacket, Epohh head slipper or Snow mastiff bikini, so...

i like that we have a better guarantee at getting a starship out of this year's winter event for running "Fastest..."
HOWEVER, i actually kind of miss getting a small chunk of winter items from the race, like last year with the winter gift box which preceded the Lockboxes.....
would it be possible, next year, to include a winter goods gift box that contains a random assortment of ~6-8 winter items ALONGSIDE whatever the specialty item for the year is?
for instance, this year it's the Q photos only, but with my idea, it'd be Q photos, plus 4-8 winter items, randomized....
Darkstarkirian - Love those ideas! A special winter ground set(s) would be awesome. Of course, with the gun/shield/armor combo you'd turn into Super Santa (or maybe a green elf)
Any winter Sniper Rifle would shoot ICICLES, not snowballs.
my brother had an interesting idea. how about a daily, space combat, where you have to escort santa, with his reindeer and sleigh, through the different sector blocks. maybe a small reward for each one, then a bigger reward when all are done. would be something different anyway.
I don't care what the header says, I am not now, nor have I ever been, nor will I ever be, an "ARC user".
How about making the stupid "competitive race" about who actually finishes the race first and not who can spam F the fastest and luck out with the lag gods.
I'm really about sick of finishing first or second and losing because the game decided to register their spam before mine.

Now if I can just get this guy to change his mumble handle because calling him Moron always makes me wince a little=)

I got enjoyment from knocking them down, Q gives me 'appreciation' gifts for doing so.

You can always toss a Biothermal Dampener.
Tastes like Lemonade. I promise.
Sorry no gifts for you! Romulan refugees are getting all my commodities and EC and I have none left over to buy gifts! Danged needy Romulans!

I think it's just a slap in the face that they give you Targ skin ear muffs but don't let you wear them.

Shooter mode - and shoot either bad snowmen or the Grinch <-- They have to introduce the Grinch sooner or later.
