    Could we please get some stats on the new Cruiser. Please tell me its a carrier with scaled down corvettes as the pets. Even better, a true carrier. With 2 Hanger bays.

    I am not sure if people know this, but... If you hang around Risa at night, the NPCs will gather on the docks to watch a fireworks display. Some of them will point at the sky. Its a nice little touch.

    well, the discount for alts that already have a ship looks nice. gives us more time to enjoy the fine work that the devs put in developing the nice scenario and event and in to actually have fun.

    seems there will be more "summer related cloths" !? that sounds awesome as last year was a bit disappointing when we got pants for the beach >_>


    lets see ...

    discount for alts ? awesome !
    summer outfit ? swimsuits ? hope it will come out nice ^.^

    but will we be able to trade some of the last year pets, for marks boxes ? some people have the bank filled with them >_>

    Will pearls from last year carry over? I was only about 50 from getting the Corvette last year but the event ended before I could do my last floater course. I still have the event project active because I thought I could get pearls from elsewhere, but if they carry over, then that would be perfect.

    You TRIBBLE My God I cannot UNSEE. I want 8 minutes of my life back!

    So I can waste it getting that ship! Also Ugly, but I bet with the right paintjob it'll be very pretty.

    You will not lose any progress that you made with pearls last year. If you already submitted pearls to a summer project, the progress will remain. If you still have pearls in your inventory, you will be able to use them.

    Chill out pal. 4ME it was like:

    4. stage: The conclusion: If ya wanna get easy on keyboard bashing get the purple quality jetpack, but the green quality will be ok too; and last but not least train your characters using the jetpack by hiting proper keyboard buttons!XD :)That is all pal, problems solved! ;) : D Have a nice emegency power to Risa everone! HOORAY! Party alot and prosper XD!

    The Problem (at least for me) with the Purple Jet-Pack was: Once my main character got it, I could no longer stand to fly the slow ones on any of my alts :eek:

    Ended up buying five in total.

    The acceleration and top speed for the purple one is significant (IMO). Maneuverability is not that much better though. Cryptic did very well and got that one quite realistic, and i am a HUGE fan of them jet-packs on Risa (they screwed up the jet-pack physics on the dyson sun-surface mission though)

    Do you see soldiers running around the battlefield in high heels and a party dress? :rolleyes:

    No, of course not. THAT would be just too "Silly":D

    It's part of an accolade, there's a number of other 'little touches' for you to find.

    Damn, I realised only too late that was the obvious reply...

    You just gotta trust me on that.

    For some reason, that left me picturing the following...

    Bunch of scantily clad folks dancing on the beach. Bunch of armored Nausicaans beam down.

    Partygoers: Are you guys here to party?
    Nausicaans: (after opening fire with disruptors), Yes....yes, we are.

    I will NOT be satisfied with any summer event until the KDF is allowed to do "raiding parties" on the beach similar to what you just described.

    Like once every 30 minutes there is a two-minute period of time where KDF raiding parties beam down to the beach on Risa and shoot everything in sight and set fires. KDF players get points for capturing local hostages (beaming up locals from the beach) and setting fires in the resort. Feds get points for stunning KDF raiders and putting out fires.

    That's what I call setting disruptors to party ... raiding party. :D
    In the immortal words of Captain Sisko: "It may not be what you believe, but that doesn't make it wrong."

    Don't believe the lies in this forum. I am NOT an ARC user. I play STO on Steam or not at all.

    ...luxury cruiser as well. This ship is a space yacht with all the amenities ...
    I really wish its mean, that the cruiser will have more than just bridge...
    All amenities for me are: Mail console + Exchange console + Bank Acces and... Security contact
    Without them this ship will not have "all amenities" :cool:

    And:
    Once you’ve earned the corvette or the luxury cruiser, the Risians will give you a significant discount if you want to pick up another one! (Any character on your account will get this discount once you’ve unlocked it.)
    - Please - at least 50% discount - please...

    I'm hoping for the exact same thing. Although without the security contact gotta keep something unique for us Tuffli owners, maybe a Dabo table instead. As well has the ability to wear the swimwear inside it.

    I have heard that with the discount its only 400 instead of 1000.

    What can I say? Myself, I do wear speedos for swimming and was very much looking forward to using it on my male chars. And I'm growing fearful about the presence/absence of single piece woman swimsuits like Jadzia wore on Risa.
    I haven't peeked, you meant to tell me there's no one piece? Or a V-strap? I am greatly saddened by this possibility.

    I don't know just yet. So all hope is not lost. However given their track record, I'm not all that hopeful...

    Does the discount work similar to the reputation token you give to your alts or is it like the C-store where the systems "knows" you've already purchased this item?

    Specifically I'd like to re-roll an alt unless their presence is requested to enable the discount.

    Thanks.

    When I first logged in when season 9 went live, I got a system message that told me that I'd get a discount on any future Risian Corvettes. I'm betting it's automatic.

    I've also seen the price's range is 500 to 2000 favors.

    Males have 3 choices, Shorts, partial wetsuit, and full wetsuit.

    no Speedos.....

    To get the discount you have to have the ship on one of your characters. If you only have the ship on one character and delete that character, you lose the discount. I believe thats how it works anyway.

    But I don't want to see them :P

    I love being surprised.

    I actually got a pleasant surprise when a fleet member came back on for the first time in a year and I was explaining what he missed. And I took him to the New Risa expecting to see all the stuff from last year...and ended up seeing ALL the new construction for this year. I was shocked and delighted.

    Thanks for that. Looks like I may find something nice for my female chars (nothing quite as sexy as Jadzia's simple model, though). However my males require speedos!

    Yeah, I'm putting Three (my 6'8" muscle-bound ground combat specialist) in that bikini, because she would sooooooo do that just for kicks.
