As I was running around the Winter Wonderland, I was picturing a summer version: swimming in the lake instead of skating on it, palm trees instead of evergreens, sand instead of snow. Instead of winter jackets and eggnog, the vendor would be selling swimsuits and tropical umbrella drinks. Swim fins in place of frosted boots! Q in bermuda shorts! ... hold on, maybe not.

C'mon, who's with me? Cryptic, make it so!

why not just have a "shore leave" area
Risa, Risa, Risa!!! leisure suite larry style, seeking jemaharon with my horga'hn in the hand!:cool:
I got it! Aquatic Xindi Ship was the race reward! But which one to use... not that uber dreadnought, that's too powerful... maybe one of their science ships (we need more of those anyways, esp KDF which is starved of true science ships).
With that in mind, I approve!

I posted this in another thread before:
I still stick by it.
Adding Q into the equation would a nice touch, though. With Q, you don't need to worry about anything canon, because he can do whatever he wants. Therefore, the Devs can do whatever they want to do in a Q environment. They could have a big boss fight with the Loch Ness Monster, for example. It doesn't matter when you use Q.
If there was a summer event, it would have to take place on Risa. It only makes sense. Also, the map is already made, which means utilizing less development time.

As I recall, one of the reasons we don't have swimwear on Risa, is CBS is adamant that swimwear be restricted Risa and Risa ONLY.
Now with the Winter Event and having the snow guns restricted only to the winter wonderland, it is possible they now have the tech to make it happen, If so, I would love a Summer Event, not to mention a Risa revamp to make it worth going to.
Oh and Borg cube for a summer event unlockable ship
Okay, maybe not, but something would be nice. More special events in general would be nice.

we don't need Q
we don't need boss fights
how about beach volleyball
How about swimming
How about surfing ?
Frizbee?
I will never understand the hatred for Q, I think he is a great character and as a once in a while thing, and interesting thing. I am not taking once a month thing either, but a winter, anniversary, and summer event is hardly too much.
Likewise, I enjoy the Snow Fight, and lets be honest, it isn't overly difficult, just a fun little romp during the holidays. As for a summer equivalent, I don't really know what you would do, but I am sure cryptic could think of something.
and Q is an annoyance
Q: (maddinm214) When will social zones receive an update?
Dstahl: With the success of the New Romulus and Tholian Adventure Zones, we are looking to go back to our existing social zones and give them a similar treatment. One of the zones being thrown about for a possible Springtime or Summer event is to have it take place on Risa or somewhere similar where all factions could enjoy some fun in the sun.
Aint that nice that DEVs are listening to players. Congratulations for making a change from what this would have been non issue 3 years ago. Nice to see that you guys can make a difference.
Looking forward for bikinis but not speedos at Risa :cool:
