Whilst I realise that this isn't your fault personally - this just isn't good enough.
This is not an 'entitlement' rant - but those of us who have spent time and lots of money on STO would VERY much like to know whether our purchases are suddenly going to cost us more by way of having to pay to upgrade them to prevent them from becoming obsolete. Stop telling us wonderful X & Y are going be - addressing these concerns should be of higher priority. :mad:
The expansion was announced 1 hour ago. Have some patience friend. We are going to take care of you.

I'd also like to see a T5 (or 6, whatever) NX. Both were fine ships, durable and beautiful. After that, a Mirror NX costume would be nice. And campaign medals to finish off the Mirror ENT outfits we already have.
...too much wishful thinking?
My Old Blog about things that could and should have been added when I wrote it. Not sure what I want to do with it now. I'll just keep it available now that most of it is outdated.
Yay new missions... Story driven level increase from 50 to 60 means at least 10 more mission available to all factions.. THATS A GOOD THING FINALLY
i dont care if my ship is vice admiral now and then it "wont compete" i play STFs in a COnnie now just for fun and still survive.. so i guess the T5.5 ships WILL hold just fine in the story driven lvl 60 missions... jeeez people calm down.
i was rather more upset with the EC sink and the R&D reset and the patch that didnt allow us to slot multiple projects...than with the season 10 announcement.
aye there will probably a method to get your ships to lvl 60... i guess most lockbox ships will eventually auto level up anyways. fleetships also
if an aegis set can autoupdate to mk xii... a ship can also. the only ships that needed to be updatet manually will most probably be the Z ships.. and yeah.. okay then i give 1000 zen.. and its lvl 60 who cares? if its really 1000 thats okay with me... if its 2500... its not.
the gear question is more serious as every rep gear item is mk xii and i dont think they will be updating every gear piece.
More details will be revealed in a slew of dev blogs over time.
ive got 1 of just about everything, and i cycle through them all pretty regularly. i will want every last one of them at tier 6. say i need to get a 500 zen module for each to make it tier 6, thats going to at least be a $100 investment, for the new baseline. its an entirely arbatrary cash grab if thats the case.
for me, thanks but no thanks on crafting. its another grind that required exclusively pve, i just cant. i cant do another grind system, ive reached the limit i can stand.

Yeah, there is a lot (and I mean a lot) to like about even what little has been announced so far. It's just that it's... mitigated, to say the least, by the T6 thing, and so many of us are waiting now with bated breath to see just how Cryptic is going to "take care of us" that it's kind of overshadowing everything else.
Dev Blog 1 (and Announcement) news posts should've ben posted immediately or shortly after the STLV Announcement. Failed that one.
Yeah, while I'm loving the announcement, this is where you should emulate Blizzard.
Their website announcement and teaser page with information appears minutes after the end of the Blizzcon announcement.

That's the biggest one too.
Considering a lot of us already poured a ton of money into Zen ships and then more to make them fleet grade. It's starting to get expensive.
Tier 6 ships: All 3 factions getting new ships. New class of starship to go along with the new class of boff.
New advancement system: "Beyond 50 level progression system". Progression in the system even beyond level 60. Specialization skill trees to add further character customization.

If the release is intended for October, this needs to go up on Tribble early next week. Gonna need a couple of months of intense testing. Cause we all know, expansion is likely to be full of bugs regardless. The sooner testing goes public, the better.

Tier 5 ships can still be played throughout level 50-60 content. Most existing tier 5 ships can be improved to gain some of the advantages of tier 6 ships. The devs specifically wanted to avoid making things obsolete. More details to come.

I think I write for the vast majority of STO players when I write that right now, no one actually believes that. Not to say anything against you - at least you want to keep us abreast of what is going on.
I'm just surprised Cryptic management actually put their head in the noose on this one at all.

"Most" ? If all ships can't be upgraded to T6 (with equivalent stats and capabilities), that will be a HUGE FAIL on their part.

I can't help but wonder what kind of a Cardassian faction we'd eventually get. I mean, they have more reason to be totally different than the Romulans after the Dominion War wrecked their homeworld and everything else.
The rank increase to Fleet Admiral will not allow us to control multiple starships. It's still very much a "something Geko really wants in the game at some point" feature.

Hahaha! Well played.
They will answer Q & A Sir as much as possible other than that they wouldn't have a reason to visit las vegas live...

Still, you can't take my Sci from me.

I gotta say, this does have me intrigued.
