Yeah I had the 12th or 19th. New red alerts. That's very cool!
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: "We think we've come so far. Torture of heretics, burning of witches, it's all ancient history. Then - before you can blink an eye - suddenly it threatens to start all over again."
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
Second...hmm, let me guess. We'll have to hunt down Na'khul agents in our old missions where they're trying to take US out. Admittedly...I kind of dig that. Let me see how you pull it off.
Third. Na'khul Red Alerts. Interesting. And that ship/base. The portal it opened looked like the Na'khul's portal on Enterprise, I take it that's the original and we're gonna firebomb it out of time and space . Sounds like fun.
Fourth. What the hell is going on May 5th? The 1701? Don't tell me those fools are going to go after the 1701?

uhm you guys gave the nak'ul red alerts but not the iconinas? talk about your token wars the iconian war was just a waste of possibilities.
I think that's why they came up with Nak'ul RAs, cos they had so much feedback/flack that the Iconian "war to end all wars" didn't have them. Or a battlezone. Or a groundzone. or any fighting much at all, outside the couple of queues.
LUKARI GUERILLA GARDENING MILITIA - Glowing fingers are Growing fingers!
Our latest featured episode, “Temporal Front” begins at a post-Iconian War convention attended by representatives of the Federation, Klingon and Romulan factions.
I always like these conferences and a bit of political stuff. I hope we'll witness the foundation of something important here.

That's a good point. Iconian Red Alerts should've been the norm for the entire Iconian War Arc. Mandatory ones at that.
That said, the Na'khul should be that big a pain in the tail if this is a temporal hot war. Popping up anywhere and anywhen. So it makes sense.

They botch the Iconian War very badly. You think spending years (since 2010) building it up it would be grand and have lots of missions and extras. What we got was eight so-so missions, a rep system and a few queues. The war should have been on the Dominion War level of epic but missed with a lack of any real content.
5.5.16 the day the T6 Constitution becomes available at the low purchase price of 5000 Zen, no way they keep the standard price point for the most requested ship of all time.
Why are some of us crying over spilt milk, when we should be celebrating a T-6 CONNIE!!!!!
(maybe..., but probably not)

As much as people complain about the grind, you dangle the chance for a TOS Connie in front of them and they will grind until their fingers bleed and thank you for it
So, we'll have swarms of those magic destroyers after all... Could be interesting. No new holding (I half-expected one) may be actually a good thing for smaller fleets to catch up, and everyone already said everything about the rest... Except one little thing.
Is the date a coincidence or did you pick human spaceflight anniversary specifically?

If it's gonna happen the timing would work well. Before the summer's film release from Paramount and plenty of time for player's to really enjoy it through September for the true 50th Anniversary.

What will happen between now and then? Still a 3 week gap.
Will this be filled with a featured episode or perhaps with an opportunity to whoop some elachi.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
No T6 Connie, keep dreaming folks, nothing to see here. It's been hinted at in the blogs that there would be a meeting with a ship that had 'no less than 17 temporal violations'. Hardly a ship release, since we already have THAT ship!
"You don't want to patrol!? You don't want to escort!? You don't want to defend the Federation's Starbases!? Then why are you flying my Starships!? If you were a Klingon you'd be killed on the spot, but lucky for you.....you WERE in Starfleet. Let's see how New Zealand Penal Colony suits you." Adm A. Necheyev.
Watched the trailer - Can it be? T6 TV series style Constitution Class ships in the C-Store on 5-5-16?
(Hey, I can hope.)

You'd think we'd have learned our lesson by now. Avoid peaceful summits at all costs!

Might be a long shot, but maybe we're looking at (one of?) STO's contribution(s) for the 50th anniversary?
