Smart money says the new lockbox will be mainly Vaadwaur-related... not only would a Borg Lockbox (collective or cooperative) mean bad things for power creep and the like, it just seems out of left field. And what does a lockbox have to do with DS9 or the wormhole?
While a good guess, I don't buy it.
It's also not mission related (not a new story mission, PvE queue, or tied to the anniversary event)... I assume this also rules out any announcement about a limited-run event.
Also, after learning that the anniversary event will likely center around the boring Kobali, I'm really starting to think this "mystery" will be a big letdown. Some sort of community-based fan-fic contest, or something.
It's going to be a change to the Redshirt server where all factions have access to all clothing, equipment, and ships of other factions, but all missions are defaulted to the Federation storyline as a preview to an experimental Starfleet Online change.
The New Romulus storyline never happened; Romulans were integrated with Starfleet after D'Tan was successfully assassinated by the Tal Shiar prior to his attempt to form an alliance. Because of this, Romulans can use Singularity cores on regular Fed and KDF starships, and without the -40 power issue thanks to advanced Fed tech.
The KDF lost their homeworld to the Undine because the Iconian plot was never discovered and Tuvok never got to make contact with an Undine, much less mind meld with one. Survivors were integrated with Starfleet as an large special forces branch.
Now Starfleet is the only remaining bastion, and its total war against the Undine. All players can potentially capture an enemy starship and either keep it to add to their personal collection, or sell it to Starfleet for R&D materials, EC, or Marks. Restriction is 1 of each ship. Requires Boarding Party and Tractor Beam or Reversed TBR. Enemy must also be within the HP red zone.
Server resets every Thursday, so you can't make it your primary game server.
Don't forget the part where you can summon T-Rexs with lasers as a security team.
Then, the race that has been missing from the Delta Quadrant, the Krenim show up and TRIBBLE up all the work we've done in the Delta Quadrant, forcing us to head back after saving Vega. Thus, giving us a whole bunch of things to kill-ahem, I mean pacify in the name of peace.
The Krenim aren't exactly missing - we know where a good chunk of them are (namely, being refugees in Zahl space), it's just that for some reason the description of Zahl and the pre-established identity of the Zahl have absolutely nothing to do with the patrol mission in Zahl.

Tacofangs has wanted to revamp DS9 for a very long time.
My guess is that he's managed to revamp DS9 under our noses.
The Borg presence will be part of a story explanation for the map revamp.
The removal of Romulan missions is because they decided to shorten the Romulan arc rather than revamp the whole thing so they could move on to DS9/Cardassian front.
The Borg invade DS9. The Prophets protect it by altering the flow of time, reverting DS9 to its glory days.
The social map gets altered for the anniversary. The Cardassian front revamp will be next season.

That would be cool, similar-but-not to using the Undine invasion to revamp ESD

All I know is that when I logged off of the game just now, the launcher started downloading a 1150mb patch. That's in addition to the normal patch from today.
And there is an Dominion Jem'Hadar NPC warship near DS9, in sector space, I've never noticed before tonight.
I wonder if they are connected, or this is just the usual pre-patching for the anniversary event?
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
what ever it is ill be glad glad for it as im SICK OF THE DELTA QUADRANT !!! i still call shenanigans as i still don't believe the delta quadrant won out over the gamma quadrant in voting
I just hope it's a fun reason to go back to DS9. Remember when DS9 was like an upper-class Drozana? All the cool kids hung out here, DJ's threw parties, there was ketracel white for everyone...
No, it's all a ruse. The devs have secretly been making a t6 ferasan carrier for the kdf which is to be released on the 26th. It will be a gigantic litter box with little TRIBBLE �� pets with battle cloak!

Yeah, no. Cryptic would never do anything that cool.
I know on the lunchtime live stream when Smirk mentioned it he said that it wasn't anything to do with the Anniversary Event or anything to do with missions or mission progression.

Most likely its lockboxes though, so get ready to dump every box that has been in the game.

That would be the end game Constitution.
Ticket, please. Next stop, New Vertiform City! :P
Precisely.

Of course, I could be wrong.

Don't know, and I can only assume whatever it is, it's the reason for the 1.1 GB Pre-Patch that I just got exiting the game.

I believe this too!

That's been there since they released the episode series "The 2800". :rolleyes:
Edit: ... back in season 5. :P
Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!

That's at least how i remember it...
We can only hope.
Yeah, no. Cryptic would never do anything that cool.
(Whatever it is, someone will call it that.)
