    Only 2 ships that are not locked to TOS faction... so unless you plan on keeping the TOS toon... not much point in this pack since regular Feds cant use any of the TOS-Fed ships. So 2 ship and several uniforms... is it worth $130. I dont think so.

    feds can use every ship in the pack; dev-confirmed​​

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"


    "It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
    "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
    Passion and Serenity are one.
    I gain power by understanding both.
    In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
    I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
    The Force is united within me.

    Source? Cause they said this is like the Rom mini faction... if so Feds or KDF couldnt use any of the allied Rom ships. I know TOS-Fed can use regular Fed ships thou.

    the source was a post by @jaturnley in this thread http://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1216371/new-tos-era-ships
    Geko, in his P1 interview, said that all of the TOS ships would be available to Fed and TOS toons

    as to which P1 interview said player was referring to...i have no idea, because i don't listen to podcasts​​

    Guessing that chances are low to none that a Plasmatic Leech type console being included in the TOS T2 to T4 ships?
  • officerbatman81officerbatman81 Member Posts: 2,761 Arc User
    Yep, chances are actually closer to none, put you hopes back away.

    That'd be nice though.

    Yeap. He indeed said in that interview that FEDs get to use the new / old ships.

    Looks like July 26th is probably the release date.

    Gecko confirmed that July was the planned month and said it would be just before the Vegas Convention 2016. (Aug. 3-7)

    He said this in the new G&T Show Interview.

    I'm betting day summer event ends, new season launches. And that date matches up with launch of the new Star Trek movie ... and rumors are that JJ-Constitution and Vengeance both will make appearances in game with some saying they will be playable T6 ships as well.

    Can't be, They have always launched Expansions on a Tuesday.
    And I doubt They would launch before or on the day "Beyond" hits the theaters, because that would be stepping on the toes of Paramount.

    Thus, July 26th the Tuesday after.

    With Vic Mignogna and Chris Doohan being part of Agents of Yesterday, under Rule #5 of CBS'es new rules on Fan films, they are part of an Official License and therefore cannot be used in a Fan-based production. So they can never do 'Star Trek Continues' again. Hopefully, they get decent compensation from the Official Licensed Product as they are sc*ewed as far as their Fan films are concerned.

    Come stand with us in supporting Star Trek: The Animated Series content for STO! (It's canon!) #TASforSTO

    Time travel and glass-cannon ships hurt my head and is NOT what Trek is about. Trek is exploration, becoming better as a species, and gaining scientific knowledge while holding on to the traditions that got us where were are.

    No. Don't be foolish. STO is not a fan film nor anything resembling a fan production of any kind. It is a legal, official, licensed product. Those rules do not apply. They are free to hire whoever they want for it

    Btw, Agents of Yesterday will be launched on a Wednesday. Wednesday July 6th. B)

    Um... the point being made is now that they've worked on an official product, no fan project in compliance with the new guidelines can touch them.

    Indeed. They never undertake large patches on Thursday.

    Applying an expansion patch on a Tuesday or Wednesday means that they have Thursday and Friday to apply the inevitable emergency patches.

    Instead of doing the patch on Thurs or Fri, why not just go ahead and patch it while bringing it out. It'll keep the servers down just a little longer, but in the end, it'll be better quality and better quality is something the players have wanted.

    Under the rules I looked at, it doesn't look likely that they'd ever get permission to do 'Star Trek Continues' again even if they *hadn't* done VO's for STO. Which is really sad, because I really enjoyed those.

    Point is, the distinction is academic because the limits on length, episodes, titling, and funding would have nuked STC anyhow.

    big question is... does it include a free character slot? Delta Recuit had one so I was able to take part... I dont feel like I want to delete a toon to make a new one and loose out on all my items I have that are not account unlocked... ground & space gear and duty officers from the events.
  • sharpie65sharpie65 Member Posts: 679 Arc User
    Yes, I think that much has already been said.

    I'm in the same boat. I'm an altaholic and will not delete a character once it passes a certain point and that is usually when they have something that can't be transferred or are CStore purchases like BOff/DOff/inventory slots.

    I would like to make a new character but being at the character creation limit I won't be able to unless they increase the number of characters we can have.

    They'd have to stop selling the DVDs for one and cut the Episodes to two fifteen minute segments per. But because of what I originally brought up they're toast.

    Blame Axanar for this over-reaction.

    is this going to be one of those expansion packs that you have to pay for or will it be a free one?

    I'd love to play as a TOS Caitian, as well as a TOS Klingon character, and a TOS Romulan character, if that's ever possible.
