Suggestion: Delta Veteran?Butterfly Recruits Event

leviathan99

This is a pretty straightforward idea. The Delta Recruit event opened up new side avenues in the 1-50 arc (involving time travel) while encouraging people to roll a new character and seemed to be a big success.

We are nearing the end of major remastering of leveling episodes with the Cardassian arc revamp.

I would like to propose a Delta Veteran event sometime before Season 12 or perhaps in conjunction with the anniversary in February.

This new event would simply be for replaying existing missions (or playing them for the first time) with a wrapper that establishes that all of the episode remastering since launch was the result of the Krenim weapon in Butterfly. There would be new rewards and temporal contact dialogues which cover what happened in the original versions of the missions from when STO launched, explain how the events of Butterfly changed them, and ultimately address how the ending of Butterfly led to the destruction of Romulus again with an official explanation.

This would be positioning Butterfly as the cause for all the game's episode remastering and perhaps even the ESD exterior revamp (even though Q took credit). I think it would be fun. It would be especially cool circa the anniversary. If Kurland is being replaced retroactively, maybe we could even see him fade out of existence. It might also provide an excuse to dig some of the original maps out for an anniversary cutscene/promotional video.

Actually, this is a really cool idea. I would enjoy this.

I loved the Delta Recruiting event and would personally enjoy something like this. I would absolutely make a new character for this event if it were to happen.

I was opposed to this at first glance but it actually sounds like a really cool idea. I would support something like this 100%

This idea has my vote.

I like it. I've though of replacing a couple of existing characters and this would give me a good excuse to level the new ones.

Kurland is in Midnight which is after butterfly. We're never getting rid of him, he's always here, watching. It's creepy.

Though I would prefer that they'd strike Butterfly from STO canon like so much filthy, rat infested garbage I would accept fixing it's lazy and stupid writing as a good alternative, and another [insert name here] recruit event for those who couldn't participate last time would be nice.
