S9 fe ( spoilers )

chalpenchalpen Member Posts: 2,207 Arc User
I like s9. It is pretty much s8. Did I like the beginning of season 8? No. I was really mad. But now, I "get it".
Cryptic will release more content in the next few months and maybe even a s9.5 prior to exp 2.

The repeatable content is fun. And no, there is no point to rep systems anymore and that is good

In my opinion, this should have been how the game was released.

But my question is about the fe:

the iconian warned us to not get the iconians attention again. Uh, we didn't. At the earliest The iconians manipulated people to blow up Romulus. Since then the iconians have been manipulating other species to creat e this mess. Up until last year, we didn't know the iconians where still around. So who is getting the iconians attention?

Also, shouldn't the kdf have access to new earth space dock?

Even though the shipyard around qunos got blown up I am glad it is back to its old self pretty quick.

Love the fe. A lot of new cutscenes technology. Really fun battles.
Should I start posting again after all this time?

    Exactly. So when did we get the iconians attention?
    And what was the result of the attention? Romulus? Undine? Vaporizing a few Klingons?

    - The Romulan Empire started this when they blew up Hobus (per the missions in the Romulan Arc and Romulan FE) that lead the Iconians themselves to come and take Sela's Scimitar.)

    - The new Romulan Republic continued this when they discovered and reactivated an Iconian Gateway; that lead to having representatives from all of the Milky Way Galaxy on the Iconian commissioned Solane Dyson Sphere (and still further when said representatives discovered the connection to the Jenolan Dyson Sphere.)

    ^^^
    So, yeah, the races in the Milky Way have been doing a lot to get the attention of the Iconians in the year 2409; which is why in 2410 - they sent a representative of their own to the Milky Way Galaxy to say "Hey, cut it out, NOW!" :D

    We did, when we reactivated their gate system.

    At least, thats how I read the line.

    We forged alliances and helped each other instead of fighting one another, which is what the Iconians have been trying to ensure.

    They want us fractured and fighting amongst ourselves, so we'll be in no shape to defend ourselves when they eventually return.

    We've defied their pre-written narrative, and they're angry with us for it.
    You're right. The work here is very important.

    As for the 'new' ESD, I was surprised too there wasn't at least one sentence of dialog alluding to the fact that it was going to need a 'rebuild' after the Undine attack (and hence the awesome new interior).

    And yep, love the new FE too. It's really fun. :D

    ^^^
    Cryptic has the same issue you stated above - namely for new players starting now - the 'revamped' ESD is the only one they know and for them is that way in 2409). The new FE makes perfect sense to anyone that played on ESD prior to season 9; but even for those who now play after (and the new FE is integrated into the actual storyline chain and only made available to Level 50ies); it's stated that where Quinn sits in the revamped station is not his actual office - so when they hit 50 and play the mission; they're just beaming to a part of ESD they never saw before where Quin's office actually is. So, when they're done, ESD was just repaired/restored to it's 'old self'.:)

    Ok.
    I know cryptic tweeks missions every once in a while but I got the impression that hobos was an iconian plot using remans/romulans.

    That may have been my mistake.

    I need a pivot table showing me who did what.

    And the felkirie and decisions where not iconian plots either?

    No, you're right. Praetor Taris, who served the Iconians, was responsible for the Hobus supernova.

    It's heavily implied that the "Fek'Ihri" were sent by an unknown force to attack the Klingon Empire, and were not the actual mythological beings. It would be logical for the Iconians to be that force.

    In my opinion, both of these actions are consistent with the general Iconian goal of destabilizing the major powers of the galaxy, and preventing them from forming alliances with one another by distracting them with internal conflicts, and provoking them to start wars with one another.

    Yeah, the Fek'lhri are mentioned to have an apparent connection to the Hur'q.... who lived in the gamma quadrant.

    I'm not sayin the Iconians gave a race from the Gamma quadrant the ability to attack Qo'nos, but....It was the Iconians.

    New question...

    Was THAT an Iconian?

    Or did we get a possible new player in the 8472 conflict?

    8472 space is not small...its its OWN FRIGGIN DIMENSION. So we can safely assume galaxy like size levels.

    Could we have only been dealing with a FACTION of the forces within 8472? And this New Being is infact with THEM?!

    It was...if only because it matches the Iconian concept art which was released some time ago.

    8472 is in a small fluid universe. I am not sure why or how I know that.

    Yes it could be another faction but they mentioned following its "shadows" and uses gating tech. Not proof but suspicious
    Plus a few years ago someone had a concept picture of an iconians and that was pretty much it.

    If iconians where responsible for hobos it is pretty arrogant for one guy to show up and tell a bunch of people whom they have never met to not give attention to them.
    And not mention who they are.
    And not mention how or who gave them attention
    And kill a bunch of poor Klingons.
    When they at the very least wiped out the romulan home world.

    What would be hilarious is if the only thing iconians did was show up at the piece conference and kill a bunch of Klingons.
    Everything else was done by servitude races or races that where finding iconians tech all unbeknownst to the real iconians.

    Season 10 we meet up with an iconians who stresses that they have no idea what is causing this but it isn't them.
