Have posted this before, but seesms even more relevant now!
Delta Quadrant Lock Box:
When opened emits a cloud of foul gas, iritating anyone nearby and causing general rage in Zone Chat. 70% chance of causing numerous players to either beam out or swap instance.
Chance to win DQ DOFF pack, with a chance to win:
[purple] Malon DOFF with 98% chance to reduce warp core performance.
Talaxian Stew - Effect: When placed alongside other food stuffs has the effect of making the food so indigestable Tribbles refuse to touch them - protects food in storage from Tribbles
..
i liked this - although it lacks details about the stuff that happened since voy.
however, it seems that this might be released with later updates. i just wish for a dossier this size for each of the factions we'll encounter - hopefully to be added to the library computer as well (which could receive a section on all known species)
People complain when we have no story content but now that we get story content and lore people complain. The circle of life eh
yup, it does however present some of us with 2 paths of interest..
1. a progressive storyline delivered in something resembling realtime, which will
pique our curiosity and increase our interest and expectation up to going live.
2. will really annoy the now now now everything now instant gratification crowd
who will troll and whine and privide many hours of interesting funnery pokery
between official posts.
Nicely written, and informative. Nice to see the Talaxian and Kazon ships.
Downsides? The Kazon do not appear to have their own outfit, instead relying on some of the basic Federation and Romulan gear, such as Shirt Basic and the Romulan Survivor Scarf (yes, I know what they are just by looking - i'm an outfits kind of gent). Also no word in the blog as to whether these species will be playable (or be acquirable as Boffs) and their ships acquirable (Yes, I know. Talaxian and Kazon Lockboxes confirmed).
Most disappointing thing? There are five more of these. So as interesting as they are, that's five days before we get any chance of getting information on the Upgrade system and it's prices.
Le sigh.
Actually I'd peg the Talaxian ship as being like the Tuffli and Suliban cell-ship so it won't get its own lock box, just a very rare chance dropping when opening whatever the next special DOFF pack that gets released is.
Personally I'm betting it's going to be either a Delta Quadrant DOFF pack or a crafting DOFF pack, possibly/probably both.
You guys are KILLING it with the updates! Four new entries! And so much relevant and substantive information contained within! I'd say I can't wait for the next update, but really, with all the meat and potatoes you've given, I'm not sure I need anything else.
4 updates in, and I'm not even sure what you could possible cover in the other 36.
With Delta Rising on the horizon, Starfleet Command has begun releasing security briefings on some of the species you will encounter in our expansion. This week, Ensign Level Access has been unlocked, revealing details on the Talaxians, Kazon, and Ocampans. You can find links to the intelligence briefing on these species in our Starfleet Intelligence report found here: http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/6007573
As more Access Levels are unlocked, we will be updating this security file. Stay tuned for information on more species that you'll encounter!

Very cool, much appreciated!

Using Chrome and all the images are broken. Cleared the entire cache and everything.
I have Chrome and at first the images were broken but when I deactivated the Pop-up blocker I was using, it worked. Loved the lore in that blog. Hope that helps.
The only thing about the dairy queen species I care about is how many I'll have to murder to get the new accolades.

Oh, and thanks for the lore posts, those are pretty neat. Unfortunately, many of us are distracted by the STLV info and the lack of details about said info, rather than just enjoying the backstory and context that were well made in and of themselves. This is probably what should've been mentioned at STLV, while Level 60/Tier 6/Mk XIV should have been mentioned later. Next time; for now, maybe some gameplay details?
With each passing day I wonder if I stepped into an alternate reality. The Cubs win the world series. Donald Trump is President. Britain leaves the EU. STO gets a dedicated PvP season. Engineers are "out of control" in STO.

I clicked your link! Do I win a cookie?
For Ensign Level access I see an image with Neelix, Kes, and an alien woman that looks familiar, done up as NPC models.
Please tell me we're gonna have the actor reprise his role as Neelix. I loved Neelix on Voyager.
Or at least tell me we're gonna get Kes's and/or Nelix's Outfits to purchase from the c-store.
When I click the image it takes me to the Intelligence Briefing, which has little text and gives out no information about any specific species. WTF? What is the point of even having these dev blogs? Either tell us something or don't. Unless there are hidden easter eggs that give hints of what's to come.

At the very bottom, there should be a "Next Page" icon to help you navigate, but I grabbed the links for you anyways in case it wasn't showing up.

I logged in and only accessed the ensign level data.
I am a Vice Admiral.
They don't explain it very well. The "ensign" level thing is just that this is the first update. Later "levels" will be revealed as time goes on.
So their use of rank is understandable confusing.
But it's not bugged. It's working "as intended."

I may have to buy more BOFF slots to add some to my crew.
