    Soundsgood, theold one was getting a bit dull. I don't suppose there will be a way to see Utopia Planetia?

    Technically it's a Season 8 Blog since this will be happening before Season 9 is released. :)

    The truth isn't as entertaining...c'mon, it's a sneak peek at a new enemy - messing with reality as well as with our characters in the game! :eek:

    Y'know, now I regret deleting my "super awesome" Gorn. Guess I know what I'm doing~

    ETA: One question - can we run this again if we want to to enjoy it while it's running or is it a one and done thing?

    Sounds a bit beefier than last year. Does this mean that despite being allied Romulans can not attend the Starfleet nor Klingon Empire events? *cough* dual rewards *cough

    No new reward except for Romulans? We've definitely gone back in time.

    #57 seems a bit excessive, however.

    Sounds interesting, don't really care about the rewards but I'm guessing this is more about lore-building than anything else.

    And we get to see Nanovs everywhere for a few days. Nanovs > Epohhs :P

    Just to clear on the rewards;

    Fed = Non combat pet (space)
    Rom = Non combat pet (ground)
    KDF = Combat item (melee weapon)


    As mainly a KDF player, I find that rather funny :p

    I still don't get why Commander Winters isn't adhering to the Jupiter uniform 'dress code' Captain Shon seems to have going for his command staff. Winters kind of stands out as a black sheep in his sierra uniform. ~_~

    Also...

    Tiaru's not an admiral. What is she doing with my admiral jacket?? :D

    (Kererek, on the other hand, could stand to get his own admiral jacket)

    AS for Rom rewards, I was kind of hoping we'd get an 'Honor Blade' (those S'harien's sword replicas) so I could wave something around that's not a Nausican Tegolar. ~_~ Oh well.

    Is there any point in doing this event with Fed/KDF characters that already have the Phoenix/Batleth?

    So you build us up and get us excited with peaks at Season 9 with new blogs posts. Then post nothing about it on Thursday, Friday, and now Monday.

    Lame.
