    Nothing new for Feds but something new, useable and potentially awesome for KDF? Me likes.

    Yea... this is a first... I am excited, and I don't even like the KDF.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Is it a Rending Bat'leth made out of Tritanium or a Bat'leth than can rend Tritanium?

    I'd like to think both. Just because.

    Hope it's a weapon first, not a trophy second. :)

    Well, something to do, and will be nice to meet the KDF flagship crew. Please tell me the captain is daughter of Koth or something, that would make my day.

    I wonder if the Romulan's will be getting anything special the next April 5th.

    Sure; It'll be the day they plan to finally conquer and subjugate the Klingon Empire and Federation.

    when are we actually going to get to use those costume pieces that bortasqu captain has?

    I'm interested in the crew of the Bortasqu'. I suspect meeting the Enterprise F crew would be more meaningful if I had read some of the stories they're in in Star Trek: The Magazine, but unfortunately those aren't available (for sale, free, or otherwise) unless we buy the magazine :/ .

    So the same non-combat pet for the federation, and a shiny new awesome weapon for the klingons. I am appalled that you would even think to give the Klingons something the feds don't have. (Sarcasm) :p

    Soooooooo... when will we receive all the missing parts for our Bortasqu uniforms? You know, like the ones seen in this blog's screenshot?

    They were falsely advetrised in S6 trailer as well...

    sounds like it could be cool for Klingons/kdf :) I just hope that's some awesome useable weapon and not useless like the fed pet.

    We finally get to meet the crew of the I.K.S Bortasqu?!?! :eek:


    I am okay with this.

    Yes, please!

    Though I think I remember one of the devs saying they had some more klingon bits in the works, including some less spiky boots...

    I like this. A lot.

    Will we get another ship and/or Zen sale as well? I've been eying the Vesta for a while ...

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    I like the sound of the KDF reward.
    Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

    Awww... I was kinda hoping for something new for us FED's this year but, oh well. No love lost here! Still looking forward to May! ;)

    As for the KDF side of things... A new Bat'leth and meeting the crew of the Bortasqu sounds awesome and all my Kling toons will be taking part and grabbing the goodies! :)

    Thanks Cryptic!! :)

    "The Day of Honor event takes place in the Omega Leonis sector block, at the Qo?noS system, from 10AM PDT on April 5th to 10AM PDT on April 11th. You can beam aboard the Bortasqu? from the transporter room on Qo?noS or at the shipyard. Hail Commander K?Tek to accept the Day of Honor mission that will reward you with your Tritanium Rending Bat?leth"

    Hmmm I foresee a bit of a problem, considering how many times the transporter officer has dumped me and other people to the shipyard instead of first city, I can see a lot of people going missing :D

    I actually looked into that bug and put in an update for it while I was going through the Qo'noS hookup for this.

    YES! Thank you! Every time I stepped onto that transporter pad I had a nagging fear that one of these days I was going to be accidentally transported to Gre'thor. I've been there once, I really didn't want to go back. :P

    People, people, you're getting too excited for this. He never said he FIXED it, just that he updated it. Now it sends you to new romulus instead.

    That... is still somewhat more useful than getting sent to the shipyard instead.

    The transporter chiefs all over the KDF are grateful that they will (in theory) never again have to worry about their captains wanting to execute them for poor targeting.

    It would be perfect if also pop-up decloaking bug (feature :D) get fixed.
