    I doubt i'll even do this mission once, just doesn't look all that interesting to me. :(

    Andor?

    Communicate! There will be times when you will want one team member or multiple team members to change position.

    DOOOMMMM!!! As seen in the MU event, players don't communicate.
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    Gornar, Andor, Cardassia, Feringinar...

    Does this mean we're finally going to actually get the sectors/sector blocks that contain Gornar and Feringinar (not to mention Tellar, Trillus Prime, Sauria, Cait and Betazed - along with Ferasa and the like) like we've been asking for years?

    ....Or is it just going to be another case where these worlds only appear in the queued event?

    Just like previous posters suggested... Replace the starbase with a randomly generated planet with a set of four possible skin/maps, and replace the Mirror ships with Undine Octopusses, and you have "new content!" As if we haven't been grinding this event for 3 weeks now, we have to grind it again, this time for even more useless rewards!

    Wait...do you REALLY want to vacation on a world where they have 178 words for "rain"?

    people already come to Blighty on holiday, Feringinar is probably dryer

    That is pretty crappy as a whole, even if you will receive bonus marks that let you do daily rep projects. How much are the rep items going to cost? This isn't a well balanced difficulty/time investment/reward equation. Is there dilithium to be had?

    Compared to other blogs, we don't have much information on this one.

    That screenshot looks really amazing :)

    It would be great if new planets will be added to sector map.

    Communicate? Why would I want to do that? :D

    I guess Rom and Leeta are going to be showing up on STO since we are defending Fereginar. Hope to see Nog too.

    I'm starting to think Dev Blog #9 is gonna be "TRIBBLE this. I'm tired of dealing with everyone's whining."

    Another possibility is they left out all the other information that they knew would tick people off to edit it into the blog a couple days later in hopes no one notices.

    Thanks for taking the time to write all that. It was very informative. :)

    Yeah, seconded.

    But it is rather noticeable that we've had to rely on a player to fill in the blanks.

    I don't know how the rest of you feel but I'm tired of these 'developer blogs', just release some new content already. You've been testing kits on tribble for what, two months? Also, how do you call a 'fix' to fluidic space, which never worked when you all released it years ago, new content?

    Are rifts the new hangars or something? I sure hope this isn't just a retooled MU Invasion with Undine ships.

    Historically, a lack of testing and listening to the feedback from tribble has been the problem.

    Personally speaking I'm cautiously glad to see that tribble is getting a proper workout this time.

    Better new content a week late and working, than a week early and bugged.

    Alas poor Devs wasting time energy and MONEY on making new undine tech. when existing undine tech would be relatively unchanging as an apex of biotech evolution goes.. (much as the great white shark) Instead of focusing on I dont know QUALITY of the delivered product maybe?

    What a darn waste.

    Mirror event anyone?

    Sounds like Cryptic is just copying, pasting, and cannibalizing fleet missions.

    It plays nothing like Mirror Invasion. Go check it out on Tribble if you're concerned.

    ---

    I agree with the others, this is a pretty weak blog. I think the Tribble patch notes were more detailed than this.

    Yeah it's an UTTER waste of time on par with Colony Defense. And no, I'm not happy to say that.

    Colony defense is nice and fast though and has replay properties because the opponents differ.

    From the tribble patch notes we know it is a work in progress, but unless something changes
    drastically i will not be playing this mission often.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Looks good for the groups to enjoy. If I had time I would try it myself.

    Are we getting single missions on this new Season?

    Gornar has a mass driver that propels asteroids into the field.

    Everbody read that again and let it sink in for a moment.

    The Gorn defense plan is... to throw rocks at it.

    I've been testing the three new queued events and the the new space zone. It's great in my opinion. :)
