What about something to do with jumping? We get in a shuttle... travel to a certain distance over the ground.. jump out... /scream... hit the paracute button... then try and hit the X on the map.
Obviously going to be something with a science slant on it as we've had a cruiser and an escort now. Maybe not fully science but the summer ships seem to more closely follow the 3 ship styles than the winter ones (which can serve mixed up roles somewhat) so i'd expect at least Cmdr sci boff slot.
The 2 piece set from the Risian consoles so far also offer partigen boosts and there's nothing really to boost that those two ships have access to, so the logical 3rd ship would be science.
I m guessing sci, maybe sci with one hanger like a flight deck cruiser..
We just got a t6 (awesomesauce) sci heavy carrier so i dunno they'd do that twice in a row. We've not gotten a straight sci boat with a hawt shield mod from these seasonal events yet.. Maybe a risian scientific exploration tour bus or somethin with solar event-watching pets
I'm pretty sure we will get a Science ship. THe Winter ecent had Cruiser, Escort/corvette, Science Carrier and the Risa Event had a Cruiser, Escort/corvette so there is a Science Carrier missing.
I am wondering about the next Winter/summer event though. Will we start with new, different T6 cruisers or get a chance to upgrade the Luxury Cruiser/Breen Warhsip to T6?
Personally i' prefer an Upgrade to fleet Level T6 for maybe only 500 Qmendations/lohlunat favours so my ships are the best possible Tier again instead of another non-canon T6 ship to replace our Breen warships.
Me...I'm really hoping for a nice Science ship...the set so far screams science to me...and if I had my wish it would be something like a T6 Palisade stat wise.
Can't have a honest conversation because of a white knight with power
I still don't see why we can't wear beachwear anywhere...and oh, but to use a riser on an episode ;-)
No comment on the third ship though...corvette (which is an escort), the liner (which is an escort, right) so I guess carrier, but that would be naff.
Because maybe they don't remember the episode were Troi was on the bridge in a bikini? Oh wait...wasn't there a episode were Dax was walking about DS9 in her bathing suit? Og yeah that was just on Risa...
Didn't 7....no...what about T'pol...definitely not...
Oh I know why they don't!!! Because there wasn't a single Starfleet officer who wore a suit inappropriately...unlike what many players want to do to get their rocks off.

Loud Obnoxious Hawaiin(I mean Risian) shirts that I can wear into STFs
...
Scuba Diving
...
Seconded, my big hulking gorn need obnoxious shirts.
Also, the scuba diving, make it a new gimmick to add to some episodes. Could even just rip off the floater mechanics if they had to. I don't really expect them to impliment a whole new mechanic like that, but it's nice to dream. The shirts though should be totally do-able!
A sci leaning Rissian carrier, with an unlock for corvette hanger pets for those who have one, would be nice. I dread to think what it would look like though, a hotel maybe? :eek:
Ok....Last year we got a cruiser the year before an escort....what do you think THIS YEARS will be?
a t6 miranda class hero ship, 4/4 setup, turn rate of 20, ideal cruiser but classified as a frigate with a little less hull but stronger shields. consoles of 11, universal slots including 1 pilot, command and intel slot. integrated enhanced battlecloak, special abilities include the ripper overload ability with a set that unlocks that ability when a 3rd piece is added, tier 1: weapon power 10%, tier 2 Weapon power 15%, shield power 10% plus 3% all damage resistance and 10% kinetic resistance. Tier 3: weapon power at 20% shield power at 10%, 5% damage all resistance, 25% kinetic resistance and finally the ripper overload that always one shot kills any target from full hp no matter how powerful it is, 10 minute cooldown. has ability passive that gives the miranda god mode for 1 minutes and coolsdown 5 minutes before used again (full immunity to everything for 60 seconds).
thats what i am hoping for :P
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
What ever new stuff there will be, I have about 16000 favors saved up from last year, and enough pearls to get the new ship on each toon on day one, only having to do the run on new toons that I have created since then (assuming they keep op the discount for the ship on additional toons).

Lol, those favors fetch a LOT of EC those first moments after the server comes up.
Anyway, if it's not a science ship, then it sucks. I also have enough pearls to get the ship quickly as the SUmmer grind is more annoying than the Winter one.
Would also not be super-surprised to see ship interiors completed for the ships this year. There's clearly at least a design for the cruise ship bridge.
I would kind of expect all three bridges to have a slightly more upscale Red Lobster/Joe's Crab Shack in Space vibe.
Tiki-style bridges. Maybe made of salvaged beachwood on the inside. Maybe with the Captain's Wheel from the Klingon barge repurposed for the cruise ship interior.
So far, we've had Safari wear and Swimwear. Maybe yachting clothes or polos this time? A skipper's hat? I think it's a matter of time before we see a Gilligan's Island set of references drop.

I think we will get a science ship.
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
More Events ... like Diving, Cliff Jumping, Paragliding etc ... Risian Bridge & Interiors (nothing too fancy)
I'd expect :
1-2 new Floater Colors, 1-2 new Swimsuits, 1-2 new Surfboards
______
PS : Don't really care for Ships anymore tbh ... but I'll gladly take it for the Trait ...
(ludicrous colors & ludicrous speed included ofcourse)
They've gone plaid!

T6 Risian Luxury Cruiser
Mind you, the T5/T5U version is still a badass ship.
The 2 piece set from the Risian consoles so far also offer partigen boosts and there's nothing really to boost that those two ships have access to, so the logical 3rd ship would be science.
And SCUBA diving! Let us use a rebreather or tank set, along with an underwater tug and we have a whole new world of event opportunities...

That way my KDF and Romulan Science toons will have access to a T6 ship that benefits them.

Server down! I will be just happy if this MMO still runs by then. My standards are way LOWER than anyones

Oh, also, mid 18th century Naval Uniforms and a plank to walk off for promotions

yes I know on the ground it would be "its raining men" crossed with orbital bombardment.

Yes, I may sell "a few".
