Where is the next developer blog? Supposidly season 9.5 is set to release next Thursday since the patch is going to be relatively minor. Unless cyrptic is actually giving us a larger patch with a lot of information that they have yet to provide us with, meaning the patch would come Tuesday, July 28th and they would spend the remainder of the week fixing server crashes.
Crafting will be redone, but no information on the types of new materials we will be getting has been disclosed only some of the new items/consoles and the process by which we will craft. We also know crafting itself is new, and most of it has yet to be released and probably won't be relased until November or maybe even later if they decided to add new craftable items over time, which would be cool.
Exploration clusters will be erased, no major patch there, just deleting files off of our PCs. There are rumors about Xindi shps but we all know lockbox ship information isn't posted until the evening before or morning of the patch.
So what else are we getting in season 9.5?

Misleading title is misleading...you tricksy ****er.
There used to be a picture here, but they changed signatures and I can't be bothered to replace it.
It seems the vast majority of your most active players (forum regulars) hate the idea... and while that's a small subset of the playerbase, I think it's an important constituency.
THE PLAYERS DO NOT WANT THIS.
Honestly at this point, the fact Trevor posted the screenshot and everyone knowing what it is I'm not going to go ballistic (today). Possibly tomorrow though so be glad I'm in my good mood! :P
Also I don't know why there isn't a blog post today it does seem odd but I do know Morrigan and Trevor are both INSANELY busy with some other REDACTED things going on that are in the works.
Some of it I know, some of it I don't... And I will sell what I know for 50,000,000,000 Dilithium!

Supposedly on the internet means "**** someone made up and people have mistaken for truth because they want to believe it."
Expect what the devs tell you to expect.:)
Optimistically, a surprise new sector block in the alpha quadrant answering the question "Why the ****ing Xindi?" However that probably requires a chemically fueled level of optimism (and I do know the reason is probably closer to "because Xindi ships are awesome" so please do NOT try to comment on that last one) so perhaps we can just hope for a minor event grind...at best.
How about 40 and the best croissant my replicator can deliver?

Also as of smirk's interview on P1 last Thursday, he did seem busy, about reworking around the *cough cough* forums *Cough cough* and the PWE team work abouts due to Brandon's departure... OMG I miss Brandon.. "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, wah wah waaaaaah" sorry.
And I only have 1 ec, can you sell me what you know??? PLZ PLZ PLZ I beg you don't let me get on my knees and beg, wait that sounds wrong, [redact] that plz, but you get the idea, you must tell me all the secrets you know...
If you haven't noticed, I also, myself, this guy, the sexy one... me, I, *cough Me Cough*, of course I, you crazy to think of another guy, shame on you, me, again... yes yes yes "no pictures no pictures" I, am a little on the hyper side...

Not really, a major patch constitutes a new battle arena, a new species, a new reputation system. That is one heck of a major patch; and as I said, as the developers said, the new crafting system will largely be incomplete for some time. So not major by any stretch of the imagination.
Actually I would say all those fall under the category of a season update, not "major patch" (which should probably be reserved for some of the odd updates and revamps.) Minus the PVE's and maps, what we have in 9.5 is at a pretty similar scale to Season 6 (and the .5 label would seem to justify the lack of more geometry heavy content.)
