Lets talk winter

I would like to talk about the winter event, as one of the devs said that they are working on the winter event when the summer event is going on and visa versa. This was said on a livestream.
I personally would love to see snowball digging again, with the ability to get the items for making epohh again. I was very annoyed that they made them only available from the race, which I have never been able to complete because I always fly off the track and fail.
I would also like to see the snowman invasion work properly, which they might have fixed during last year's event I don't know because I didn't get to really do the event last year as I was 9 months pregnant and had my little one on the 18th of december by C-section, so I was unable to actually play.
What would you guys like to see for the winter event?

Helping people is my passion in life. If I see someone without a smile I try to give them mine.

Could not resist :P
edit: ninjat by quintaris :P
Based on the sand castle event a snow man building event? More a summer event beach feeling fan than a winter fan.
I'd like to know what it was they worked on for summer at the last winter event. At the moment I'm just guessing they tried more than the time-frame allowed & where not ready to release.

Why are you not rejoicing?
until thats answered, if its answered that is. no point coming up with ideas if its just a waste of time.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
If you actually read my post you would have noticed that I said this:
"I would like to talk about the winter event, as one of the devs said that they are working on the winter event when the summer event is going on and visa versa. This was said on a livestream."
So your comment was already answered. One of the devs specifically said that they are working on the winter event while the summer event is going on and visa versa. He said that feedback needs to be given for the events while they are working on them, not after they come out, cause the work has already been done. So now is the correct time to give feedback and suggestions for the winter event.
They wont be, that much is certain now.
And yes, we will most likely get the same buy back store, but maybe with added stuff.
Probably.
If it's a completly new ship then they're probably already planning it and seeing how they run things now it's either going to be some cruiser or beefy destroyer.
On the other hand, what will happen to the breen ships? The carrier was only introduced last year and is a very good T6 ship so it will probably stay but it's very likely that they'll be removing the raider & warship. Which would it make impossible to get the complete console set and the frigate pets for newer palyers.
Probably have to wait till december to get that one answered.
The better to share em-pohh-thy with everyone. Or pet them and receive feelings of euphoria in return (or would that get banned for being overly recreational?).
Oh, wait, that's my Summer Wish...
Snowball Throwing PvP Map?
No, I'd rather have some more ice skating activity. Figure Skating? Racing?
A breen science vessel would also be nice.
Other than that? It's very possible we'll get another Breen ship, I suppose, especially if there are more "in the hopper" to choose from, but...
[CRAZY SPECULATION]
The fact that everyone thought we'd be getting a Risian ship, but we got a Ferengi ship instead... I think there may be a radical shift in variation, from previous years. In other words, no Breen ships. So, thematically, what would fit? What other cold-dwelling species is there, in ST canon?
Andorian ships!!!
[/CRAZY SPECULATION]
Also... whatever it is, make it a science vessel, please. It *is* kinda ridiculous that the devs won't release one KDF science ship, even for the sake of a well-rounded offering.
If not, probably a light science-intel cruiser, something like a slightly heavier chel grett warship with intel seating.
Nr. 1-9: Yes Please
Also: A Snowball PvP (change "snowballs" to "Waterguns" and you know what we need next Summer, including a PvE like Tide of Ice)
And redo or replace the race for the Qmendations.
The race itself isn't too hard but esp for newbies sometimes annoying if they have to get used to the jumping and rolling and don't have anything that makes them faster like the counter command armor.
The Summer Event is much easier even with the cheap floaters there is more than enough time.
And you don't get disqualified becasue you find yourself somewhere on the map, outside the racetrack thanks to smome lag or rubberbanding and you don't loose because of those reasons .
Last year was a disaster. Instead of 25 races it almost took me 75 or more attempts because i found myself somewhere on the map and got disqualified or i got dragged back to the start and lost because my opponnet was already almost done with the race. So unless they can fix the lagging and rubberbanding we need something with more time or no opponent. Thats 75 attempts per toon and i did the race on 3 for all 3 ships.
Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!
Cryptic does love its newb traps.
As for new stuff, I'd really love to see a Rezreth Siege Destroyer, that ship looks like a beast!
Perhaps some new kit modules perhaps a Cryonic Mortar? (Like the Breen in the episode missions use)
Hmm, can't think of any 'wintery' themed kit module ideas for Tacs, and Scis, sorry...
I'm pretty sure they said that just as the "pilot" tree is space only, the "commando" tree, if revamped would only be ground. Still a new bording space mechanic might be interesting. It could be used in several way to add new types of play. For example perhaps one power that, if successfull, switches an npc ship to your side for 10-20 secs.
First let me say, as a hybrid Star Trek/Star Wars fan, I would love this, however it won't happen. It was talked about in an old thread and a dev or mod (I can't remember) said it would be too simmilar to a lightsaber for Cryptic's comfort. Which is sad, but understandable as copyright infringments can be hell in business.
maybe they figure they have given us enough to keep us busy in these events.
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.
this isnt so crazy. they did it this year. make new ship that will have console that will become set with some ancient ship... so for winter i wouldnt be suprised if we get tholian or temporal or... any new ship that console will make set from some older lock box ship.
I hope they give us a refit of the avenger
A successful Boarding Party will now have a chance to temporarily use the enemy ship as a combat Ally, until it's either destroyed or you warp out of the map/zone. Complete takeover success rate is 10% for medium-large to large ships (cruisers, battlecruisers, dreadnoughts, carriers) and 25% for all other ships. Restricted to taking over a maximum of 2 enemy ships per zone.
At Commando T2, you gain EC for each ship captured, rewarded upon zone/map change (as if you ordered the captured ship to warp to a starbase for study, R&D, or decommissioning).
At T3, you can launch two Boarding Parties (each separately Doff'd) before CD triggers. Large ship takeover success rate now set to 25%, and small ship takeover success rate upped to 40%. Number of possible NPC ships you can take over to become allies will be upped to 4.
At T4, you can now claim one weapon or equipment from that captured ship if you don't want to keep it as an ally, as stealing the weapon or equipment requires self-destructing/disassembling the ship. It will bring up a reward menu with a randomized list of possible equips on that ship.
What is unique to this is that it allows for possible capturing of otherwise impossible-to-obtain or difficult-to-obtain weapons. Such as a captured Jem'Hadar ship guaranteeing a choice of any Dominion Polaron weapons, with random rarity and mods, or a captured Tholian ship guaranteeing Refracting Tetryons with random mods and rarity.
To prevent "abuse", captured weapons are not tradeable on the Exchange, but are account bound, to encourage grinding the Specialization and enemy ships for unique weapons and equipment. Additionally, weapon Mark depends on the enemy's level, with Mk XII being the highest, and Ultra-Rare being the highest possible rarity (Uncommon is the lowest possible Rarity).
All Commando ships are Carriers, Cruisers, or Destroyers, with boosted chances of capturing an enemy ship, and abilities that improve Boarding Party or weaken enemy ships to make Boarding Party or its Commando variant more successful.
Now Commando will sell ships. Except it's a complete 180 to it being pure ground, but some sacrifices have to be made in the name of sales (and use of the Specialization).
A copy/paste without additional features. The last winter event was fun and I don't want it to be broken by a new patch.
...because he will find an easy way to do it.
