Just finished the mission. Must say it was one of the most interactive and most interesting episodes you have made so far!

I really enjoyed:

- The Voice overs
- The multiple options
- The story line
- The environment
- The interactive characters and the ability to give them orders

The storyline was interesting and the fact that your character becomes someone else was a nice touch. The control room where you release the Enterprise and see the ship docked was beautifully made.

Denise Crosby was great and having her dropping little remarks as well as establishing a remote communique (is that even a word?) with her was brilliant and very role playing.

it was also nice to encounter some of the familiar faces from the regular timeline. Again, kudos for the voice overs.

Overall, I am very impressed and hope that you continue to make these types of missions. It definitely proves that a featured episode does not have to be part of a story arc to be enjoyed.

The only "bug" I experienced was the tactical and engineering officers placed on the map. They were using my crewmembers names, however their appearance were something completly different. Is this intentional? Had they looked like my crewmembers as well then it would have been very interactive, incorporating my own crew into the story. Very nice touch regardsless!

Also, it would have been nice to be able to crawl between the maintenance tunnels. I assume this was not the case due to technical limitations. Still it was fun.

    Yeah I enjoyed that mission. It felt like Star Trek. I liked the fact you could give out orders. I wish more missions were like that!
    Also looking through the tubes at the random stuff was fun too :)

    Nice mission. Too bad the alternate versions of some of my doffs where all the wrong race and one even the wrong gender.

    (OP) you must have been impressed as well when you received NO REWARD after doing the whole mission due to the severe lag most peeps ecountered on day 1 :D

    But the mission isn't going though...
    A world to defend
    A city to protect
    innocents to save
    "Why?" They ask "they hate you"
    We're heroes it's what we do.

    Haha, but the mission itself is a permanent addition to the game.

    Very much enjoyed the mission, and I love the premise. I liked seeing the assortment of 'old friends' again, and the stuff in the ducts made me chuckle, and the last part on the walkway really gave ya a sense of scale. Wish the space sequence was a little longer to better get a feel though, since I spent longer rearranging my toolbar than using it. B+ work, nicely done.


    If only the freaking lag hadn't DCed me after what seemed like the final cutscene, and now I can't get back on. :(

    Is the chest in the ducts really what the little blurb told me, or was it an item that I never got due to lag...
    Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

    See even tribbles think I'm so wise...I will never eat one again.

    This is as close as we are getting guys to say we commanded The Enterprise....to bad i don't remember.

    It was great I really did not see that coming when my ship vanished...I was excepting a time mission like the comet one not my whole time line going away.

    Also loved the other NPCs we know popping up...and MY BO that was so cool (some had the name but did not have the looks of my BO like my Android)

    AND what is Star Trek without crawling into Jeffries tubes...nice touch with the Zelda map lol

    It was Great.

    Same here, though because of temporal displacement, births could have differed. ;)

    This mission is probably the best STO mission made so far. It's just SOoooooooooooooooo much fun.

    It's certainly not what I expected it to be, but it was pretty good. Hopefully they'll bear these features in mind for future content.

    Too bad the items on Enterprise C were fused. taking them would be a nice bonuse since the consoles are so rare and expensive, could have even made them bound

    There is no way in hell I'd accept this mission going away after the event ends. It NEEDS to stay in the game in some form. This is EXACTLY the kind of quality content this game needs right now. Removing it would be foolish.

    Change the rewards, but keep the mission. You don't just throw something like this away... :rolleyes:

    there was a point in the mission when I just wanted to slap Tasha, and tell her to S&^% T*( F$&% U*!

    Anyone else feel that way?

    It is staying. read the blog. the tier 5 ship is the limited reward, not the mission.
