    I see no mention of any benefits or bonuses the delta will have after the event is over other then benefits and bonuses collected while the event is active the vast majority of which and maybe even all of which (depending how you define a benefit or bonus) can be claimed by your current characters.

    as it says in the blog > "Each of your characters can claim the account level rewards once from the Temporal agent. These rewards include Marks, Equipment, Consoles, R&D Materials, and other items."

    these are all benefits my regular characters will enjoy receiving.

    all other benefits (mainly levelling) the delta has will cease at the end of the event as I understand it.

    Look for the podcast Al Rivera did with Trek Radio. He goes more in depth.
    Your pain runs deep.
    Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.

    Introducing the Temporal aspect now, huh? Why not just have an NPC come back in time, tell us what to do (and where it is that the Iconian are hiding) and be done with it. Also, release the recruitment information already. I'm tired of news that it's coming, with no actual information other than it's coming; I had already figured that much out.

    I (truly) hope you guys know what you're doing here, I see a great potential to backfire. I for one have no intention of starting up another character just for a few toys. I'm still working on leveling existing characters. :(

    Edit: The only way I'm starting a new character is if he is a true Cardassian (costumes and all) for any faction of my choice. Otherwise, forget it.

    And violate the Temporal Prime Directive?

    As far as the backlash.... why? This is basically a re-run of a series. I'm looking forword to checking out the remastered content and replaying the whole story. People get upset over the stupidest things these days, it's not like they are taking things from you, they are looking to hook in new player which is nothing but good, and giving a nod to current players at the same time. Chill out man, and enjoy the re-runs.

    I'm frankly wondering more about the female Romulan reflection, when the Omega armor rear profile looks like that of a male base.

    If it was some romance novel cover (the soldier and thoughts of his love), I'd get it, but it just seems a little off otherwise.

    Also, shouldn't it technically be a MACO soldier? They're the space marine equivalent for the Feds. Though admittedly, the Omega Force armor looks more future marine-worthy armor set.

    Thinking on it now, it would be a perfect time to add the other two MACO variants (Operational and Tactical) and the Omega Force (Reaper and Quietus) and KDF equivalents as unlocks, and the ability to color the MACO sets like that of the MACO Photonic Bridge Officer.

    Ah bad art, but still good

    Aww thats sweet

    Why MACO? And the MACO armor looks more advanced. I think that the Omega Force armor is what the Romulans contributed

    GIMME MACO LEG ARMOR!! AND ARM ATTACHMENTS!! AND I WANT A BLACK COLOR OPTION, AND RED AND GOLD LED LIGHT OPTIONS!! I WANNA LOOK BADASS IN MACO ARMOR!!

    couldn't get it to play more then a few minutes without cutting out so I will have to wait and see but I see nothing in the blogs that I consider to be an advantage past the end of the event and that's what we are talking about here.

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

    Given that the photonic staff of Facility 4028 do that (and some NPCs on Kobali Prime), there is no acceptable excuse for those color options not being available to players.

    you people really are nothing but a bunch of money hogs sad thing is that the other gaming companies are most likely dong better and one of them is Square Enix is doing better then you guys come on your a mmo type of game oh im sorry you guys i will walk and wast my time els were.

    With all due respect, if you are going to complain (or for that matter, post) on the forums, at least use proper grammer and spelling.

    As for the event, I am looking forward to it. I will likely end up deleting one or two of my current alts though; I currently have seven, and only five of them ever see much action.

    Are the shareholders that dumb not to see how you are manipulating the metrics? I'm speechless...

    I somehow doubt shareholders look that deep into content updates.

    Either way, if "manipulating the metrics" gets me account-wide unlocks, I'm in! :D

    Why is this seen as the end? It could be the start of the Iconian War. A war that could last over several seasons. In a recent podcast it was mentioned that the Delta Recruit storyline will leading what they have planed for 2016 and season 11.

    They would have to be amazingly uncreative to end this thing in a season or two. For all we know its the Iconians who created the Dominion.....

    It's just "Dr Doom" Roubini
    Refugee from those other games!

    My other fear is that we will see a bait-and-switch in which if we delete the Delta Recruit, we lose all of its rewards on our other toons. After all, that would potentially force us (assuming people do not intend to cull toons as I intend to do, to make sure MY metrics either do not grow, or actually shrink) to keep on an alt we would not otherwise and make the alting metrics look artificially better than they would be otherwise.

    I would still like to HOPE this is NOT the case, since we have a new EP who was not in place when we were lied to about the Advanced STF's, but trust has been damaged to the point where I will do nothing unless I see hard stats and proof, AND I know from other players that it is actually *working.*

    I'm thinking of deleting my lowest level character and recreating him as a Delta. That would give him a new reason to exist since I was bored with the idea of replaying the existing story anyway.

    That's not a bad idea really. I have my original captain in mothballs (figuratively), and this would allow him to be "reborn" as the Kobali would say. Maybe make him an alternate universe version...

    Lol, your signature would be more awesome as:

    Delta Rising - It's a beautiful expansion and players love it.

    Do you need one Delta character per faction, or will one unlock for all?

    I asked that when it was first announced and still have no answer. May be an idea to create a kdf and Fed delta recruit though depending on if the artifact hunt turns out to be a scan an object in the mission or something more tangible though.

    Still waiting to be able to use forum titles

    The most recent moves by the designers at Cryptic has created a great deal of debate about when the game will end. Most believe the game is in it's death throws. Less playable content, buggy role outs, increased grind, more cash creep objects, major staff realignments and major staff layoffs. All negatively impact the play of the franchise, which if Paramount is pay attention will make them uneasy about how it's property is being handled. The latest round of Delta recruiting is to falsely create increase usage on servers that are currently have issues with lag and log in. I hope for the best, but that actions speak volumes above what is being spoken.
