Delta Recruit extension?

Anyone else wish they were extending the whole Delta Recruit thing over the summer? I know a few of us didn't get an early start to getting their Delta Recruit missions done, and are only part way through. :rolleyes:

(feel free to gripe about it here)

    UMM, as long as your delta recruit is made and they have collected their tesalecters, then you have all the time in the world to do those alts, the only aspect going away will be the ability to make a new delta recruit, not the rewards or the temporal agents to collect your goodies from, nor the parts in the missions that only a delta recruit can see.. so dont panic..

    You only have to get a new character through the tutorial by today.

    You can earn all the other rewards later.

    (The only exception being the server-wide bonuses and the DR trait that earns dilithium per kill - they will end too)

    Every time there is an event on, people ask for extensions towards the end, I doubt it will happen.

    You still have a few hours left. Get in there, and rush through that tutorial. Then your Delta will be safe.
    I completed a 2-man CSE, ISE, and KASE, Optionals included. And I soloed Winter Invasion.

    Anyone else wish people would read the event announcements before posting these threads?

    Delta recruitment should have been a permanent addition to the game, considering how intimidatingly grindy reputation progression is for new players.

    Considering that the game barely advances in time and the wide spread thoughts on leveling to admiral in less than a year? the Delta Recruits help explain that way, so yeah it should be part of regular character generation.

    Nor should they be. Their ships would look weird.

    The story elements, maybe.

    But that's just two cutscenes and the text of the iconian stuff we find in the story missions.

    Story elements are the only parts of this event I think need to be hung onto going forward. As has been mentioned before. If the circus was a year round event it would not be special.

    Maybe a solution to the advancing to admiral to quick is to rename the ranks. You could have

    Ensign 1-9
    Lt Junior Grade, 10-19
    Lt 20-29
    Lt Cmd 30-39
    Cmd 40-49
    Captain 50-54
    Flag Officer/Fleet Captain 55-60

    I don't wish they'd extend the event, I wish they'd keep the servers going for another hour. They usually go offline at midnight my time, this week it was an hour early. I thought I had an extra hour to get some level 1 delta recruits through to getting their tesseract devices, but I only have myself to blame for doing a bunch of dilth dailies i didn't even need to do this evening. Argh.

    I like this, I think all these Fleet Admirals is kinda disjointed. I mean in the new missions Paris is only a Captain, and we are taking order from him? Not to mention he is just a captain? Hell based how how fast we are promoted he should be Fleet Emperor by now.

    We should all be Captains.

    So, I made a KDF delta recruit last night, but then the game crashed as tutorial loaded and I ended up being distracted and didn't get a chance to finish it.

    I logged in just now, it popped up the "If you skip, you won't be dellta recruit" I clicked the "Do tutorial and become delta recruit."

    Then it played the delta recruit little cutscene in the future, but I've not encountered the future self ever. I understand if I missed the deadline, but they played everything as if I'd get it...

    Just wondering if they forgot to remove those parts of the tutorial.

    Really? Wow. You'd probably find more stuffed down the back of your Captain's chair.

    The DR event actually ended about 27 mins ago, so what probably happened is you started the character while the event was active but didn't get to the part where your future self spawns and gives you the tesseract.

    This happened to me as I was making my final delta recruit. Romulan. Couldn't skip Tovan's ******n unskippable intro speech.

    And people wonder why we hate Tovan Khev.
