I have a feeling that this is the last year for the Risa Event. The Ferengi Ship hints to me of a Ferengi event next year. Also the change from the Pearls to Vouchers adds to my suspicions.

Has nothing to do with the Topic...but i fully Support your Signature...just saying :rolleyes:
ok so are you also saying that this year if you have the new nandi slotted and don't finish it by july end you lose that project too? also why is it so short this year? we had 35 days last two - three years. are the requirements for the ship down from 21 days of play?
Do my alternate characters need their own vouchers to claim or is it like c-store claims once one caracter gets the ship?
So no ideas for a Risan science ship then? Kinda disappointing, though I hope this new ship will serve better than the old outdated D'Kora.
as long as this new Ship is a Science one, i still get it, i was also Discusing with People about what Type of ship it could be this time, many were saying maybe some Kind of Space Submarine Carrier that can launch Fighters and Frigattes (Corvette Pets ? :rolleyes: ) unfortunately it looks like the Devs ran out of Ideas...to bad that they have not Asked the Community, what a Wasted Opportunity :rolleyes:
Compared to 43 days last year, and 54 days for the first year?
Perhaps they feel that they need to make it harder for us to get all the items needed to buy the ship if we miss a few days? I wouldn't be surprised if next year it drops even further.
Besides, nothing is sacred anymore, when it comes to ships.
There is still at least one sacred cow as far as ships go.
To get an idea, check my sig or the FCT... :P
Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

I've been wishing for a sub ship as well, though it's kinda pointless calling it a submarine ship if there's no planetside maps for ships to fly on.
Can we have the characters show up, Tom and rest....espically 7
Based on Cryptics past history with regard to lolwut festival requests, you have just caused Risa 2015 to be infected with...
"Kurland here..."
<center><font size="+5"><b>Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day... Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life...</b></size></center>
First, the Risa Corvette & Cruiser are taken away, after a full year of anticipation. No, I will never forget this. Yes, it's just a game, it's pixels, get over it, I know the drill, I don't care you can't empathize, doesn't change a thing.
Then, some Ferengi Warship is introduced, which by its name will not have any pilot abilities to showcase what pilot ships are really like. What do Warships have to do with summer fun at an R&R pleasure planet? I get it, they don't have to be thematic, like, you know, the Risa Corvette and the Cruiser. Take that away too.
Cause the game's just not enough about War, so more technology of mass destruction and devastation, please.
And after all that, the Risa summer event as a whole is shortened.
I'm beyond saturated in disappointment about the one event I was really looking forward to. Every blog so far has been nothing but a major let-down. I congratulate whoever's pulling the shots this year for giving me more reasons not to miss out on summer, outdoors and away from all this.
Come on Cryptic, ya did Breen set <KDF version, raider raptor carrier>
And started Risan set <Fed style, Tact cruiser> .
Whats missing here? .. SCIENCE my post 50 roms would REALLY like an interesting sci ship that doesn't cost zen. Theres nothing till t5 fleet <the non-fleet version is t4 and non-upgradeable!>
I was expecting a risian sci-ship, something to give me a good reason to move from my hideout on Risa, since it's my home base
I was rather hoping for a nice Risian science vessel as well, maybe something based on a variety of a sailing ship (we've had catamaran and cruse ship so far) with a full set of solar sails.

Subspace ships? (effectively ships with battle-cloaks. When the Romulans with their cloaking ship was first introduced in TOS it was effectively a space-submarine and treated as such)
How great would a cloaking subspace science vessel with a festive vibe have been?
Having said that, I'm rather fond of Ferengi ships, but maybe not in place of a Risian sci ship. (I'm still going to get it anyway though)

Do you own the two previous Risian ships on any toon at all? If so you can still get it for any other toons you own. All they have said is that the projects can't be slotted any more. Basically now you just go to the summer store and grab the shipp on whichever toons you want them.
The "Risian Hospitality Association" is selling a warship? Ok. :P
Yeah its coming out with a new queue too its called Season 10.5: The Final Milking of STO. Its going to reveal that there are 4 iconians left that are controlling the heralds and they are each known dairy cow breeds and they are about to go dry and when they go dry sto goes down with them.
OH, something I had wanted to ask: Will these new Risan shirts be wearable over swimsuits or is it restricted to the 'Casual' tab along with the shorts and the like? Also, where is the forum thread for discussion of the next winter/summer event? I couldn't find it during the last winter event, when I found out about it.
I love the d'kora so I'm super psyched about the release of the Nandi. Yes, Cryptic, yessss. I will just keep my fingers crossed that it's a t6 d'kora with a redone skin.

No, I don't.
Had they, you know, warned us to Slot them at the end of the event, I would have.
A Ferengi Warship goes to show there was absolutely no reason whatsoever to simply discard those ships, not this year anyways.
Had it been a T6 Risian pilot corvette that underperformed compared to pilot ships, that would have made some sense. But this clearly proves beyond a doubt they were retired for no reason whatsoever. Exclusive? Yeah, about as exclusive as my one fleet mate who wishes to delete the ships to free up inventory space for better things, but who can't give them to me, because exclusive.
I don't understand why so many people are getting up in arms over the new ship, just because it is described as a "warship"? Did any of these people bother to read the descriptions for the corvette or luxury cruiser at all? Here.
"The Risian corvette was initially designed as a racing ship for entertainment purposes. The ship's incredible speed and maneuverability drew the interest of the Lobi Crystal Consortium, who purchased the rights to manufacture armed versions of the vessel."
"The Risian Luxury Cruiser was originally designed as a luxury cruiser liner. The ship's incredible agility for a ship of it's size and class drew the attention of the Lobi Crystal Consortium, who purchased the rights to manufacture armed versions of the vessel. This truly extravagant starship has caused ludicrously wealthy buyers to line up at the chance to acquire one."
So you are all okay with a recreation vessel being converted into a warship, but a warship designed to be a floating palace is what gets you?
"The Nandi offers the finest in both firepower and luxury for the discerning ship commander."
The warship actually makes a lot more sense then the two repurposed civilian vessels. Do you know what it would take to convert each corvette or cruiser into a combat capable ship? Each one would have to be stripped right down to the frame then have the power systems upgraded to handle the firepower, the inner hull and supports replaced with military grade materials, the outer hull armoured, etc, etc.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my risian ships, but that always bothered me. At least this time they are not trying to give us some civilian ship with "upgrades". The Nandi is a warship, plain and simple. It just happens to have the amenities of a palace.
Doubt it ... since the Ferengi Lockbox is still around ...
One could reasonably assume that since the Christmas prize was a t6 ship this summer one will be t6 as well. It also stands to reason that it will be a destroyer or cruiser since shuttles aren't "warships."
Also, what other ship could it be other than a modern version of the d'kora?

Context ... !? ... I have no doubts it's going to be a T6 Ship ... but offering a Lockbox Ship for free & making an entire Lockbox "obsolete" => kind of silly / not gonna happen ...
I don't understand why so many people are getting up in arms over the new ship, just because it is described as a "warship"?
I expect it to look like a warship.
Adding fun colors, and fun designs to a warship is just wrong.
So off in the distance on the water, imagine some menacing hunk of metal. Yep, it's like martial law was just declared on Risa, you know, to keep us safe from Iconians.

I'm guessing that's why they've moved it to June, so that players can do the event before holidays begin.
