    Yes, it is getting rather dry. Can we have bikinis now so I can go swimming on Risa? ;)

    a prometheus is quite a nice looking ship, but...
    a temporal destroyer is tempting, but compared to...

    im also very eager for a nice ship for me to get. one that compares to a bug ship, i will be patient.

    I doubt your going to get any info...

    Cryptic like to act like little kids when it comes to releasing information (its like "tee hee we have a secret but we are not telling")...

    Probably because they themselves don't know, at the moment they probably have a vague idea about the upcoming season 8 and will only start building it and putting it together in the last month/month and a half before release...

    so it has been with all their previous content.

    I'd be very surprised if they didn't know considering that they're planning on launching Season 8 in May, chances are that they're still in first debug stages and things aren't ready for screenshots yet. We'll be seeing teasers when they come closer to sending the Season 8 content to the test server (late March to early April I'd say with the teasers late Feb to mid March)

    I'd rather have them sort out season 7 first unless those are 2 seperate teams.

    I think it's a little harsh to starving for new content already but that being said the content I was looking for in season 7 is currently bugged so

    Stages of an MMO Major Patch
    Follow at @cnotesto
    1. Hatred - "This patch sucks."
    2. Bargaining - "It would be ok if we could..."
    3. Acceptance - "It's not that bad really."
    4. and the final stage - "Why did we hate it in the first place?"

    Highly off topic, but I felt compelled to say that I love the sig, and it seems appropriate for just about any game of any genre.
    How the Devs see Star Trek, apparently:
    Star Trek: The Original Grind
    Star Trek: The Next Grind
    Star Trek: Deep Space Grind
    Star Trek: Voyage to the Grind

    It came about from when I was talking with a friend about the hatred for season 7 (specifically the Rep system) and we both agreed that if they attempted to change it all back to how it was next November the same people would be moaning about it changing back.

    I'm sensing that we'll get some update later today. I'm not sure what... maybe a lockbox announcement. Maybe a 3 year anniversary teaser. Dunno. But I think we'll get something.

    We probably won't be seeing anything until it gets closer to mid-March or so.

    Right now their focus I bet is on the 3rd year anniversary.

    Well, it doesn't have to be S8 teaser.. It could be something about the 3rd anniversary event or next lockbox or something regarding the andorian ship.. those have been said again and again in dev blogs/podcasts/etc and its time to let us have a sneak peek!!

    The Temporal Destroyer is one of the best ships in the game. It can't burst quite as a high as a Jem'Hadar Attack ship or Fleet Defiant, but combined with the Temporal Set, and the Temporal Science Ship Console, you can use your powers (captain powers especially) far more often.

    In the hands of a Tactical Captain, you can use Attack Pattern Alpha 2 to 3 times more often (and your Boff Attack Pattern pretty much as fast as its GCD will let it).

    How are you able to get so much energy credits? I had max 1 million credits and that was because I was able to sold a plasma beam acc x3.

    F2P accounts have a low EC limit. Gold, or F2P who have bought the C-Store upgrade, can have a cap of 1 Billion per character.

    Salivate on this and get ready the bikinis and speedos:

    I love STO and all the ships, but I?d like to see more Klingon ships. Any chance of getting a bundle or maybe a Negh'Var Retrofit?

    Dstahl: While the KDF will get access to the new ships being released in the Dominion Lock Box later this month, the next Klingon-specific ship is a brand-new design that will be released in both a T3 and T5 version around our 3 Year Anniversary.



    Q: (draven1907) What?s on the menu for STO in 2013 and especially Season 8?

    Dstahl: 2013 is going to be a very busy year for STO when it is said and done. Season 8, releasing in the first half of 2013, will focus on adding new missions and storyline to the game in the form of a new adventure zone, new episodes, and another big feature, which is yet to be revealed. We also have Season 9 scheduled to launch in the second-half of 2013. In between all of that will be additional updates, new ships, a few new features and perhaps a mid-year event before next year?s Winter Event.

    well u just said it. its not quite as good.
    and not being quite as good, doesnt convince me to get a temporal destroyer.

    any ship currently i would only get for the "looks" but waiting seems the better option to me right now.
    the ships i got, handle the job quite nice.






    u can have 2 billion ec, if u unlock at the cstore the energy credit limit.
    u can make 100 mil ec, if u doff and grind ground/space queues and tour the universe or so, or simply farm stuff
    (you may notice i only got 1 c store ship.)

    The difference one console makes is at most 8% or so Total Damage. Being able to Alpha Strike again within 15 seconds will destroy PvP targets as they aren't able to "Alpha Resist" or "Alpha Heal" again.

    Having people surprised with new additions is preferable to raising expectations then failing to deliver, so I can understand why they are keeping tight lipped.
    For myself, I'm more hoping to see a lot of bug fixes and much needed changes to the UI than some new toy and a few new episodes to breeze through.
    If something is not broken, don't fix it, if it is broken, don't leave it broken.
    Oh Hell NO to ARC

    its a selling point yes, but u need 2 consoles slots for that.
    turning rate of destroyer is 15 only, its not compareable to a jem hadar escort.

    lets face it, there is nothing compareable.
