Grab your powerboards and your floaters, because the Lohlunat Festival is coming back to Risa!

We have our announcement blog for the 2016 Summer Event here!

This year, Captains will have the opportunity to get their own Vorgon Xyfius Heavy Escort!

The 60's were a different time for fashion...

We have our new stats for the Vorgon Xyfius Heavy Escort now available!

    Here I sit, a bit jealous of the players who will be able to participate in the fun on Risa this year. Even after the latest round of updates, my FPS on Risa is still inexplicably terrible.

    Are there any more updates in the pipeline, or am I going to have to sit this one out again this year?

    This also portends my guess as the July 26th launch date for AoY.

    Overwatch or Risa, Overwatch or Risa...

    Tough decision. :p

    I never got the first Summer Event Ship (didn't like the look of it) but I could care less.
    Even though I started the Rep. on my Main Toon, I never finished it, it's till sitting in my list.
    I'll probably delete it this year.

    I saw a leaked photo of the TOS bathing suit, very sexy and very much inspired from something we saw an one episode.....

    I'm in the same situation. I won't make any long diatribes about the performance issues this year but I just wanted to note that the Risa FPS problems can still impact some users (despite the general performance boost to the map that was patched in recently) and there's been plenty said on the graphics support forums for any devs trying to troubleshoot this. Most recently that's been picked up in the New Link FPS issue thread because it likely stems from the same or a similar issue.

    If any information is lacking we'd be more than happy to supply it (where possible.)

    I bet on the week before that, just after Risa ends. They usually launch a new lock box when Risa ends. So this would make AoY + the [REDACTED] Lock Box on July 29th.

    Oooooh, a good-looking ship for once. I'm sorry I missed the Risan ships (joined Nov. 2013, then bailed after the 2014 Anniversary and didn't come back until Nimoy passed away last year) and I think those were the last non-ugly event ships. Well, the Romulan Dyson Science Destroyer is great, but the other two Dysons are terrible. I've never liked Ferengi or Breen designs, and the Krenim science vessel is a bit clumsy. So, yeah, I'm looking forward to picking up this Vorgon ship and seeing how it works for my escort toons.

    But "Beyond" hits the theaters on the 22nd (probably Thursday evening the 21st), I doubt that Cryptic will launch that week and steal any thunder from Paramount's baby.
    ("RISA" ends on the 21st)

    Also, Expansions have always launched on a Tuesday, that makes the 26th the likeliest candidate.

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    "The console can be equiped on any Vorgon ship" ?
    Ok - so does that mean there will be more Vorgon ships?
    Lockboxes (like the Nandi) or next summer event?

    Edit:
    Also the ship is really colorfull enough for Risa :)
  • steven74205steven74205 Member Posts: 56 Arc User
    I think it's worth pointing out the console can be used on any Vogon starship. That implies there'll be more coming.
  • jtoon74jtoon74 Member Posts: 409 Arc User
    is there going to be the ability to unlock past years ships like you where able to do on the winter event?.
  • cuchulainn74cuchulainn74 Member Posts: 831 Arc User
    I really want to know, though, do the ships hang in the air in much the same way that bricks don't?

    Past ships can't be unlocked anymore - the only chance for that are for people, that still have old Reputation ships projects active... unless they were deactivated at end of last year summer event...

    'This console can be equipped on any Vorgon starship'. Any Vorgon Starship, eh? Meaning we'll see more? ;)
