The article confirms, 0718 is an augmented organic, but... could this guy be the Kelvin-timeline equivalent of a Liberated Borg, I wonder...
There are two different stories about the guy:
-Someone who graduated from Starfleet and got augmented
-An humanoid avatar of the Enterprise's central computer, created by an sentient planet
i have been thinking on it a few weeks now and im not going to spend any money on this expac. there is not as much actual mission content as i would of liked for an expac. and jjcrapverse being added has cemented that.
@mirrorchaos: Isn't there the off chance that the devs are simply holding back episodes from being released that might otherwise ruin the rest of the story in the expansion. Takedown didn't get released on Tribble when Delta Rising was being tested.
So... one would assume with this announcement that the marriage of the JJ-Trek timeline with STO is official now.
It's not you- it's me. I just need my space.
Being critical doesn't take skill. Being constructively critical- which is providing alternative solutions or suggestions to a demonstrated problem, however, does.
Does this also mean they'll introduce the single-nacelle Kelvin Class as a (playable) ship type, too?

My 2 cents here: JJ UNIVERSE IS POLEMIC. Many love it. Many hate it. Adding something like that to STO is scaring away the many who hate it. And the last time I checked, no business consider a move that scares away potential consumers as a smart movie.
By this logic STO should never add anything from the shows ever because every single one of the shows has its own section of the fanbase who hate it.
I do not see people who dislikes, let's say, VOY, being so vocal and threatening to simply rage quit because STO introduced the delta quadrant. There could be one or other. But I do believe most trekkies tollerates the "bad" series (except perhaps ENT, which caused such a lack of interest in the fans that simplily killed ST for 10 years - And yes, I do think they should avoid ENT content because of this). JJ caused a much stronger rejection reaction. That is why I said JJ is polemic and they should stay away.

Thanks Cryptic for introducing the Kelvin Timeline. It remembered why I decided to never more put any money on this game.
But, that excitement is dampened today by the real life passing of Anton Yelchin yesterday. This announcement is supposed to be fun, and that cast should be celebrating the upcoming release of their new movie. Both are diminished today.
Thoughts & prayers to his friends & family, and glad to hear that STO will tribute Yelchin this week... we can get back to fun in due time.

I think constant exposure will eventually mellow these people. Or gets rid of them*, to be replaced by fans of the Kelvin timeline that finally get some of their favorite Star Trek things into the game.

It surprises me the people who are so very vocal about what Star Trek is really about and how the Kelvin Timeline isn't about the Real™ Star Trek seem to be against desegregation and supporting inequality because they don't want their favorite kind of Star Trek to be mixed in with their non-favorite kind of Star Trek.

cryptic does what cryptic wants, you should know that you can not predict what cryptic would do as you are not cryptic or its ep or anyone else in that group. so saying what you said, i wouldnt presume to know. it is not my place.
besides if that is your way of telling me to think about it more, the answer is no.
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.

People figured out the entire plot of the Iconian arc before it was even half finished. Cryptic does what it wants, but it most certainly is predictable. It's just a pity they don't do what players want to see...

I had no issues with it, personally I enjoyed brainstorming over the "what comes next" part, and then enjoyed sifting over the new episodes to see exactly what happens, and how it was different from the forum theories.
We have a destination and a road is, predictably enough, remains a road. How we get there, how the road bends and curves, however...

Yeah, I always wondered about that guy. At first I wondered if some member of the Soong family got their hands on the Narada's future intel.
ya know it would make sense , if the soong family got the narada intel, then scratched the plans for data, and wound up making 0718 based on the narada intel.
And with this I will attempt to stop all references to the "JJ-Verse", "JJ-Trek", "JJ-Prise" and anything such like. It is now the Kelvin Timeline and Kelvin Enterprise, similar to how we say Mirror Enterprise for the Mirror Universe. I have always enjoyed these new films, even if I don't agree with everything they do. I just hope that STO Players can find it within themselves to use this name rather than reach outside the canon with "JJ", even if they are not a fan of the Kelvin Universe.
Thank you Cryptic for reaching into the TOS Era and well-done for getting rights to the Reboots! I know it may be a one-off thing, depending on how the contract went with Paramount. I just hope that this means we'll see TAS for an episode later on, or one of the other things you haven't had rights to use! Yeshua Bless Y'all!!!

So, because they're more vehement and hateful we should just give in to them?
**** that.
That's what Star Trek is really about. Refusing to take risks for the sake of placating the status quo.
Pushing the limits and forcing people out of their comfort zone for the sake of a more diverse future? That isn't the message Gene Roddenberry wanted to send.
I think you have the wrong franchise, because that isn't Star Trek.
