    He’s been promoted to Captain, and has joined the ranks of the temporal agents, where he’ll play a key role in several missions.
    I hope he learned a few things about subtility and not attracting attention since ST IV. XD

    A fantastic realisation again - almost as good as Scotty, but not quite.
    Clearly, the art folks hold these characters dearly in their hearts.

    Rock on guys and gals, like getting the home team together. I can think of two more . My Comm officers and Pilots need some training.
    Positive thoughts.

    Looks like the dev team is hauling all the old geezers from the retirement home. Soon we'll be saying "O my"
    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.

    You do realize that if it weren't for the "Old Geezers" there wouldn't be a Star Trek game to play, right?

    It's not a matter of Liking or Not Liking TOS.

    It's a matter of RESPECT for the fact that it existed at all.

    If they use him at 2 different ages, is that a hint that the TOS story line will actually stretch several years and the TOS Captains rise in ranks will not be quite as meteroic as the regular FED/KDF/RR rise?

    Or is it just to the time travelling itself?

    I think it's a combo of both.

    If they are going to do it, now is the time. Not too many left and those who are won't be around much longer.

    I am guessing it is more Wibbly Wobbly Timey Whimey stuff. Seems they are eager to have both TOS and Movie versions, which suggest to me that we are visiting both timelines.

    This. You guys who don't like TOS...fine. Let us who grew up with it enjoy it. Some forget if it was not for those TOS die- hards who petitioned for a third season, or who founded the first cons and poured all their energy into Trek there would still be only one Trek and only one Enterprise.....no bloody A, B, C, D, or E.

    STO is recruiting navigators?

    O.O

    I can do that... I CAN DO THAT!

    Move! Move move move move move!

    I know, this is not JJ-Trek, but I could not resist XD

    Looking forward to the new story :smile:

    My best guess is that the TOS Captains will play mostly/entirely in 2270 until merging with the regular all-faction storyline. But that the 23rd century story missions that all characters can play will be set mostly/entirely post-opening of ST—Generations.

    Could not of put it any better. This expansion thus far is surpassing itself already in graphic design. It surely is living up to showing RESPECT tp the ones we have lost along the way. I feel this expansion is a honor to the greats. Leonard Nimoy, Deforest Kelly, James Doohan, Majel Barret, and to Gene Roddenberry. Star Trek Online you are doing him proud.

    A couple other things for @pwelaughingtrendy...
    • In Arc, that little Explore dropdown now goes to PC before giving the actual categories related to the game. The only other game in my Arc Library that does that is Neverwinter, because you have to choose between PC and XBOX. Spoilers?
    • Also in Arc, the Explore->PC dropdown doesn't have a News page within Arc. While the saying is that "No news is good news," I'm still keeping an eye out for more details about AoY.

    Otherwise, loving the return of some classic TOS characters for this. I'm looking forward to seeing how this all plays out, both in game and in what we actually get as far as gameplay. :smile:
