    Can't believe I missed out on this, but glad that people had a good time. I reckon STO won't be seeing another giveaway like this until our benevolent overlords at Shutup Wesley decide to stage another event.

    It was absolutely succulent.... like fresh baked tribbles - skinned of course.

    Awesome, do you accept me stealing photographs from someone else and taking credit for them? :P I should have mentioned they're not mine but I don't want to name the photographer if they're not up for being named.

    But you know what? I guess it doesn't matter now does it? By being allowed to visit their studios Cryptic has pretty much signed off on you and your fleet haven't they? They've said in deed what most of us have suspected for years. They're not going to stop you. They're not going to correct you. You won. After long last, you really, really won. STO is yours and no one is going to do a thing about it. Congratulations.

    I'd expect nothing less. There hasn't been a single SW event that hasn't gone well in my years of playing STO. Why is it that a fleet of, what, seven active members - eight, maybe- can, in one night, stage a better giveaway event than any other fleet/organization in STO, including the company that runs the game?

    Because Cryptic doesn't even try. Even if they did want to try there's Perfect World Entertainment that's misering them not to go outside their stringent budget.

    You took a picture of MY TRIBBLE.... MY TRIBBLE.... >_> then you zoomed in on it!

    Oh, and Lunchbeast(the giant tailed pink thing) is simply the ugliest thing ever to be spawned in STO.

    The screenshots you took were amazing ShutupWesley. God, that guy with the big tail was soooo funnyyyy, especially on DS9 with both tails hanging over the edge. I had a lot of fun and definitely would love if you hosted one of these during every season :D.

    I stayed up til 2am for this event. Worth it. Won two costume contests, but even if I hadn't won a thing, Wesley Christmas was the best STO event ever and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    This was a great event. I had a lot of fun. I was able to win one of the costume contests and one of the races. Thank you for my 2 brand new ships.

    There were some amazing costumes, scarily quick trivia answers and hilarious races to finish up the night. As I said before there was a great turnout which really helped make the party, on top of the Wesley billions and organisation!

    Well, I'm sorry I missed this (RL took over, unfortunately), but I'm glad that you guys had such a good time.

    Also, those screenshots are great.

    Edit: Wow, some of those pics seem to actually lack disco balls...Disco is eternal, people! You can't fight the disco!

    That would be called the "Lunchbeast". ;)

    Had a great time, people! Kudos to Shut Up Wesley for putting on such a fine Community Event. The contests were fun! Please let this be only the first of many more Community Events created by all the Fleets involved.

    Every season might be a touch excessive, but we may do another one before next year. The real problem is sticking everyone in the same location. We filled out four zones worth of DS9 with people, but since we can only really hold contests in one zone the rest trickled away once they realized they couldn't participate. The only real open event was Trivia, since I was asking questions in the channel and distributing prizes via bridge invite.

    Maybe there is some magic Cryptic can pull to help with this by temporarily increasing population caps, but the community team consistently ignored my every attempt to contact them about this party so I wouldn't hold out any hope there. I suppose we could hold satellite events in different locations, but separating people goes against the whole spirit of community engagement that we were striving for. If anyone has any suggestions in regards to the logistics of this type of event I would be more than happy to entertain them.

    I couldn't make it but it looks like it went very well. I congratulate all the winners and the organizers for a successful event. :)

    There are quite a few underused planets that you could use for these events. Andoria maybe? Every time an instance is filled you pop another member of your fleet into the next one that starts, to dish out the goodies. The chat for the entire event happens in that planet's Zone chat.

    Just an idea :D

    The real trick is finding a zone that is both...

    1) Capable of hosting a lot of people.
    2) Cross-faction.

    Starbases for example can reach the player cap but are faction-specific. While most of the cross-faction zones are capped a fair bit lower. Even DS9 only has room for around 75 per instance, and as noted earlier we managed to fill up three instances and had a decent spillover into the fourth at the start of the event. There's going to be a certain hard cap regardless (I'm pretty sure even the largest STO zone instance can handle 100 players maximum) but we'd still want as many people as possible in the same instance to make things like judging the costume contests easier. And making the races more exciting.

    We'll figure something out when the time comes for the next event anyway.

    Risa, outside of the summer event. I think it's still open to KDF chars who've played Surface Tension and probably tier 4 Marauders too.

    There aren't any zones I know of that hold more than 75 people, though. In fact many have lower caps- bridges only hold 25, I think. There are tricks you can play with team invites to get more people in, but there's a hard cap that can't be exceeded even with that.

    What about the Otha ground war zone?

    It has the added bonus that opposing factions can slaughter each other.

    For a few zones to have the next one: The new Romulus outside area. Very big and we could do a race across the bridge. Drozana Station is another suggestion.

    I call for a Spring Tribble event because hey who doesn't want another Tribble??
