In Star Trek Online News, Mark, Winters and Kenna are knee-deep in Agents of Yesterday, which launched earlier this week. Later, Jake & Cookie tempt us to spend some hard-earned latinum when they brings us product reviews from the Promenade.

What’s your favourite part of Agents of Yesterday so far? And is there anything that you don’t like?
The storytelling was great. Everything was so well composed to support a great narrative in the TOS feel. The visuals, music, and sound effects were just the icing on top of a very well baked cake.
The only draw back to the expansion was that a couple of the missions were a little buggy.
Favorite part? The TOS-era experience! I've got my gold shirt captain in my TOS ship, with my TOS gear, with my funny looking Tellarite BOff, and I even get to drop kick a rubber-faced Gorn and build makeshift bamboo bombs!
Least favorite part? The film grain. Okay, I'm running an old lower-end spec PC, so your results may vary. I like the idea of the film grain, and it looks nice and unintrusive in some places. The PROBLEM comes when it stars occluding the stuff that I'm trying to see on the map, especially the darker maps like the one on that space station (how am I supposed to watch out for 'you-know-what' if I can't see anything through all the graphics fuzz?). Note to Devs: Would appreciate a "Film Grain Off-Switch" option for those of us with lower-end comps, please.
Other least favorite part? That I can't stay and have adventures in TOS land forever.
