I was wandering around the map looking at the new locations to see if we were getting some bonus areas or new social zones. I found something really interesting the Delphic Region had a pop up that allowed me to go in, it contained a full mission. No rewards are available the mission doesn't have a reward structure but the mission did look to be a step or two ahead of the current Yesterday's War Arc. The mission did seem production ready, it is likely the rewards are still being skinned or being made, all it lacks is a episode menu option and completion trigger.
The mission definitely has a twist and a half if you want some spoilers or haven't figured things out I would definitely check this out before they close it up, it will probably happen within a few hours of this post. The mission wasn't mentioned in the posts but I figured I would give it a look and let people know its out there.
The area is east of Starbase 24. The transition will say Open Door.
Nice find I played it and it blown me away. OMG...
The Rising of the Delta is the best expansion ever, and people love it to death because it is a good day to die in the endless struggle for supremacy of your own conviction. (A spin off of the Delta Rising is the best expansion ever and all the players love it.)
Just played it myself, Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous! Just one complaint though, can we have a villain that's villainous? I'm tired of sympathetic villains with Freudian excuses! I'm probably gonna catch some flack for this, but, I liked the Daredevil movie. Yes it sucked at the most basic level but it had a very redeeming feature. The Kingpin. Here, finally, was a real villain. Someone who strived to achieve his villainy. He wasn't forced into it by circumstance, he chose his destiny. His destiny was to be the greatest gangster in his city!
In creating villains that are sympathetic, you start with someone who is pathetic, then give them power. I give you Darth Vader as an example.
Star Wars is released. We meet Darth Vader as he boards the Tantive IV. Within minutes he's interrogating prisoners and casually murdering them when he doesn't get the answers he seeks. Here's a Villain we can hate, he's not afraid to get his hands dirty with a little wet work and he's even willing to kill his own subordinates if they TRIBBLE him off!
The Empire Strikes Back. Darth Vader is killing his own people, about 20 minutes after we see him. He's so focused on his mission, capturing Luke Skywalker that casualties among his own troops are disregarded.
The Return of the Jedi, He's back, at his least villainous in this movie, but his villainy has been proved in the first 2 so we know he's evil. He redeems himself for his family at the end, but, he's still one of the most evil people alive, given his life choices that we've seen.
Then came Phantom Menace and we meet the big bad dude as a small child. So disappointing. All of a sudden we're supposed to like this kid. Most of the audience knew what he would become so seeing him as a whiny little brat came as a shock.
Attack of the Clones was another let down, This supposed great hero was a whiny snot, even worse than when he was a kid. His attempts at romance were as clumsy as a pig on ice but no where near as entertaining.
The Revenge of the Sith put the final nail in the coffin. our Big Bad was even more whiny, as impossible as that seems, then he goes on a murder spree killing children and basically ruining the galaxy for everyone just to save the life of his wife, who somehow fell for the whiny little snot. and yet wasn't in any danger, until our little snot got his underwear in a knot and wrecked the galaxy as he knew it. He then some how kills his wife, who wasn't actually hurt and gets his 3 remaining organic limbs severed. So sad for the little villain, NOT.
In short, in trying to make Darth Vader sympathetic, Lucas just made him pathetic. PLEASE don't make the same mistakes here!
Actually, the Kingpin didn't do it "for the evulz", he did it for the money. He wanted money, and he didn't care who or how many people he had to hurt to get it.
And the power, He wanted to be a gangster, and everything that entails. As markhawkman said, he didn't care who he had to hurt or indeed kill to get there. It's not about doing it "for the evulz", It's about being who you want to be, not being a TRIBBLE assed venom because you got your girl stolen by Peter Parker the amazing whiny emo TRIBBLE, but being a seriously bad person because it gets you what you want out of life.
It's not deciding to kick puppies 'cause you woke up early this morning. It's kicking puppies because they're preventing you from doing something you think is important. It's breaking laws because they're inconvenient.
It's not getting turned into a super villain because your super soldier serum makes you crazy. BTW, does any one know how to test for megalomania in mice? That one always puzzled me in spider man.

Which is nice, even though there's one Queue still missing It'll probably be released this week too aka Procyon 5.

Yup. I had only just found out about this too. Damn!
Maybe we'll see it as the next mission on Tribble tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
WOOHOO
