    Actually if you look at the voyager series if you watch a sesame street episode after watching a VOY episode throughout the voyager series you will notice each race they meet in the delta quadrant is a sesame street character :)

    This episode is brought to you by the letter "D." "D" is for "Delta." How is that spelled?

    LOLOL So sad but totally true!!

    First MMO, eh? I say that because this has been the model used for every major MMO expansion since the early days of Ultima Online and Ever Quest. World of W arcraft usually had gear from the first quest line of a new expansion (aka new 'green') that BLEW AWAY stats on gear some players spent two years raiding for.

    Again, your position is valid; but if that's really how you feel, I'd go back to single player games and steer clear of MMOs.

    I was thinking this as well. This is my first (and only current) MMO and I have been anticipating something like this happening since I started playing a few years ago. Typically MMOs don't hold my attention or care for this "your hard to get stuff isn't best any more" reason (among others) but this one is StarTrek so it stuck. I just expect this kind of thing, hear what the changes will be like in the upcoming weeks, and woosah- then keep playing.

    That and you think in your head to keep referring to Anorax as Red Foreman rofl.

    No son the vista cruiser is going to stay parked inside the time ship.

    Krenim lockbox is coming soon, don't worry. I am sure it is high on the Tier 6 list. If anyone believes that it won't be dramatically more powerful than Wells and have a strong science angle ... well I feel for you.

    The King(Wells) is dead ... long live the King (Krenim)!

    Hellooo new ships. They look mighty sexy! Gimme gimme gimme!

    Watch them all look like the Dyson ships... Remember that image months ago with the possible Dyso -style starships? Remember we all complained they picked the f-ugliest one for the DSD?

    Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise. To be fair, the Tempest looked pretty good. However, I think that model already existed so maybe the new designs will look like DSD. Have to say that with the exception of Romulan ship, those design are absolutely atrocious.

    Thanks for making me feel a little better! LOL J/k

    *shudder* The Vidiians were so much more compelling...but I guess medical mysteries and genuine moral dilemmas aren't good enough for this game.

    Sir, please! Krenim ships have Chronoton torpedoes that act like transphasics. I can see them doing photon level damage with 80% penetration and speed/turn debuff. Oh the humanity ...

    My bad, I forgot this is a pew pew shoot shoot kill kill game. I *almost* thought it was a Star Trek game. I apologize.

    That's okay. We all start out think this is a Star Trek game. Cryptic dispels that illusion eventually.

    Unlike you Klingon, I have seen the five lights of Dukat. I have seen the light of the Prophet Damar. And I BELIEVE this could be a Star Trek game!!

    In the mirror universe, perhaps. But that's still a stretch.

    I'm still trying to figure out why we can have 4 commander BOffs, essentially 4 first officers.

    Not quite 4 XOs, but I just figured having to promote for more skills was an artifact of the age old "why is rank tied to level?!" question. Smh...

    For all those wondering why you have so many Commanders, they let you use the lower rank pips on the uniforms, so you can always pretend if it really bugs you that much.

    IMPORTANT: Please direct all comments regarding T6 ship discussion here!


    http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1185131


    IMPORTANT POST BY QUACK REGARDING T6 SHIPS: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=18360321&postcount=53

    Old ships will not be obsolete.

    Coming October

    EDIT: Level 50 to 60 and story based content confirmed.

    Mark MK XII and MK XIV confirmed.

    New methods of captain advancement via specialization trees.

    Many new races to encounter.

    Tier 6 ships introducing new class of starships and new class of boffs.

    Voyager interior (I'm told the option with or without Neelix's kitchen.)

    Better intrepid model

    Exploration

    Homeworld of a rarely seen species.

    Many new ships for all factions.

    New ships having new powers.

    There were new concepts of new world art.

    Tim Russ will return as Tuvok. Several more Voyager cast will be joining. Garret Wang the next confirmed actor reprising his role as Harry Kim.

    Harry Kim will be captain of the Rhode Island.

    Talaxians and Ocampans will be allies, unsure if they will be playable right now.

    (Find updates at https://twitter.com/Drogyn1701 as well.)


    Q&A:

    Q&A: doffs through Gateway? Revamp allows that. Dev time for that not scheduled, but is possible.

    Q&A: generic boffs on bridges. Geko wasn't aware, thanks for bringing that up

    Q&A: science ships not competitive, especially when not in fleet. Crafting is for that. New tac heavy Sci ships coming

    Q&A: more underrepresented Alpha quad species? "Trek is so huge, right now focusing on Delta Quadrant." only small section of that even

    Q&A: Achilles Class? "interested in blazing our own trail." mostly sticking to STO designs for non canon ships

    Q&A: Not raising existing rep caps, but adding new rep tracks

    Q&A: Kzinti? No, don't think they'll ever get access to that.

    Q&A: Only have partial access to Animated Series material

    Q:&A Existing T5 ships will be competitive. Will be way to "make them better"

    Q&A: Baz asking about foundry. "Have some plans that will make it more visible to more people"


    Link to Trek Radio Q&A sessions.

    http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?p=18365301#post18365301

    not sure how the talaxians will fit in as allies when they are under haakonian order protection. mind explaining that first?

    the ocampa dont make sense as they are more interested in their own problems then they ever seemed with outsider concerns to themselves exception to the kazon.

    well tim russ reprising his role is no surprise considering the worst kept secret around is going to the delta quadrant. so now the rhode island is involved hmm? see how that works out, the team got tuvok right first time out and since.

    wait wut? exploration?

    captain spec tree? like champions online spec tree? and what happens to the trait system?

    was just thinking of actors or actresses that could reprise their role, alice krieg or susanna thompson as borg queen again?

    Anthony de Longis may have reprised his role as Cullah, as far as im aware he isnt into anything for a few years. and what about the half breed cardassian/kazon boy?

    *panting heavily* Finally...made it...through...the thread...Phew.

    Damn though people. I'm busy for ONE day. ONE DAY, and Cryptic drops all of this on us. Yeah it might all be speculation and worry right now, but damn.

    Heh...well, this will be an interesting chat with my fleet mates tomorrow.
    I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
    I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

    i never believed it anyway as this group had lied and wanted to steal seven of nine for some purpose. so their reliability to the truth was about as useful as a cement truck with fairy wings.

    Having control of several ships at the same time was in the original star trek online game they copied shamlessly, starfleet command 1, 2 and 3.

    So strictly speaking it was no al rivera's idea to operate a npc fleet.


    And about old ships being oudated with t6 they should have had the blog ready to come up and start explaining their terrible ideas.


    Because the sooner we hear about it the sooner we can start telling them what to correct and yes I say that consciously condescending look back at any update in history period right up to and including crafting.


    Personally I can't picture it working out for me. I don't want to let go of the ships I have plus I live by 1 ship per character.

    So on one hand ship has to worth leveling a character to 50 without mirror event - on 3 factions and then some crafting like reputation for 50-60, JUST for a ship that is supposedly not really better.

    At the same time I look at all the old new maps in the queue and have to say if it's going to end the same yet again, with everyone basically just playing the same 2-3 eSTF for dil farming, then what is the point of a new ship.


    Hard to picture a solution unless t6 has no maps with better rewards and the gameplay is tailor made to t6 ships' special abilities.


    So yeah just drop the blog already so we can get to work on flaming it

    It was a failed seinfeld spin off lol :D

    Oh yeah Jerry over there cured the phage, elaine made talaxians where they are no longer annoying, and Kramer he figured out how to turn that Malon waste into Dr. Pepper.

    They had a good run but now they are gone :) rofl

    Edit: I bet first dev blog is gonna make me happy. It's going to say Tier 6 KDF ship K'vort 6 tactical consoles 1 science console and 3 engineering consolesand 6 forward weapons non aft. With 2 hangars to launch bop pets out of a bop and turns like a shuttle. Yeah I can see it now.

    I feel obligated to offer to supply this thread with a box of pacifiers and diapers. What a bunch of knee-jerk crybabying, wow.

    I'm looking very forward to this expansion. New levels to accomplish? Yes, please! Moar storyline? HECK yes, please! T6 ships? I'll gladly shelve my paid-for--with-real-cash Oddy for that. Higher level gear? I'll happily grind for it if I can't upgrade what I already have. New stuff is badly needed in game and highly welcome. This is what everyone demanded for how long now? I don't see why so many people have their panties in a wad, but then again, the biggest complainers in life typically are the ones impossible to make happy no matter what's offered.
