The posted end date for the Delta Recruit program is May 21st. I was thinking of rolling another DR, but I probably won't have time to finish all the objectives before then. So, what happens after the 212st? In particular,
  1. Is it just the weekly events ending?
  2. Can we still create Delta Recruits after the 21st?
  3. Can existing Delta Recruits still complete objectives after the 21st?
  4. Will Delta Recruits get new exclusive content or features in the future?
  5. Will the Recruit section of the Mission Tracker go away? (please, please)

    Delta Deletes

    In seriousness, the blogs said something about existing deltas carrying on as normal and able to claim items. The weekly events end and so to the bonuses to non delta characters. And we can not create new deltas.

    Aha, I missed the Q&A at the end of one of the blog posts. Although the post has the usual "subject to change" disclaimer, it says this:
    Q: What happens if I create a Delta Recruit, but do not complete all of the listed Tasks?

    A: Once a Delta Recruit completes their special Tutorial and receives their “Tesseract Communications Device” they will be free to complete the assigned tasks at any point in the future. Although Delta Recruit characters can only be created while the event is running, there is no time limit on the completion of the tasks, or their associated rewards.

    Delta Recruitment Rewards -- 30 March 2015.

    So I take that to mean as long as I create a recruit before the downtime on the 21st, I can complete the objective whenever. So, Cryptic, has this been "subject to change"?

    Confirmed by Borticus here http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=23085021&postcount=37
    Yes, you can continue to unlock/earn rewards on your Delta Recruit indefinitely, so long as they complete the Tutorial while the event is running.

    The things that are being removed after the event ends:

    Delta recruits have a special trait in the trait tab listed at the bottom under 'Other'. This special trait is what gives recruits dilithium for each enemy killed in ground and space combat. It's only available during the event.

    The one per week per account tech upgrade you get from completing the new featured episode Blood of the Ancients is no longer going to be available. All equipment rewards are permanent. After the event ends the featured episodes will probably be placed in the Iconian War tab and require level 60 to complete.

    And we won't be able to create new recruits after the event.

    Also as an aside from the Delta Recruitment Awards Blog....

    wrote:
    Each time a Delta Recruit completes a particular task, a reward will be added to an Account Store accessible from the temporal agents located at the primary social hub for their faction (Earth Spacedock, Q’onoS or New Romulus Command). Once an Account-Wide Reward is unlocked, that reward will claimable once by every character on the Delta Recruit’s account. This includes characters created after the Delta Recruit event ends!

    Could you please post the link to where you quoted that from? I have not seen that last sentence.

    It's in the dev blog I posted a link to but here's the link again http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9116343 That paragraph kapla quoted is under "Reward the Account".

    Okay... I don't remember that being in there, but maybe they stealthed the blog (wouldn't be the first time). I take that as confirmation the Agents are permanent, though, which is a good thing.

    Yes, the temporal agents are permanent and it was always stated in the blog.
