What is coming up after the MU event?

The MU event will be over in about a week. Have they announced that will come next? I am hoping for a featured mission or the Crystalline Entity.

    it must have something to do with the new lockbox ships. I think we are shortly before a huge announcement for a gamma quadrant expansion due in December.

    I don't think it will be the new lockbox ships. I was listening to a podcast last night and they were interviewing someone from Cryptic. The new ships are for the console at least initially. They may and probably will come to the PC at some point, but probably not next week.

    I think there is a "Doff Appreciation" Weekend starting on Sep 15th.

    Personally, I could use a break from events. We already had the Crystalline Catastrophe Event back in May.

    I'm hoping for...

    A bit of a break. Its been event after event lately, and I'm kinda hitting some event fatigue.

    They don't do two 3 week events in a row. Something's coming up next as there's a new code branch on tribble and the lighting update is on there now. October is the next point we have the lock box turnover and they went out of their way to make sphere builder and vorgon ship models, so it's probably going to be some kind of lock box there.

    I hate to break it to you, but expansions in the past have usually have led up to a build up in the story beforehand.

    LoR had Season 7 which introduced New Romulus and the Romulan Republic. Delta Rising's build up had Seasons 8 & 9 as a buildup which featured us literally in the Delta Quadrant without being able to go out of the Jenolan Sphere before Delta Rising.

    We already had a lead up to Agent's of Yesterday (which while most don't want to consider it an expansion due to the story content that was available to all) in the push of Season 10's time traveling introduction and then season 11 fully going into the past and the future multiple times.

    There would have to be a lead up to them warranting the Gamma Quadrant opening up. As it is right now, the Dominion don't really want to have much contact from anyone not from the Gamma Quadrant. They only came to help us in Midnight because Sela persuaded them to somehow. Maybe we get a storyline that explains what's been going on with them in between the end of "Boldly they Rode" and their reappearance. All we know is that the female founder reunited with the great link (and Odo), Loriss and the remaining 2800 fleet are back with the Dominion and everyone there is presumably happy.

    Is there anything from DS9 (aside from Sisko returning) that is still up in the air that needs to be resolved? We've exhausted most of the storylines that left unanswered from trek I think so the only alternative is to get creative.

    Mustn't forget that the revamp of Qo'noS is around the corner,so I foresee some kind of Klingon event.Also the winter event starts in late November.

    And the annual Halloween appearance of Hearts and Minds next month.

    Early October would be when the usual half-season update would come out, which this time will be the tree merge that brings the upgraded graphics (and hopefully power automation tools) from the console to the PC, and probably the expansion of the upgrade system to include things they missed like kits. That's when the new Lockbox will come as well, and probably a new FE.

    Actually, winter event starts in Early December. It's always been around the start of December. Either December 1st or the 8th this year if we're holding to a thursday activation.

    From the looks of it, they will have plenty to do with just merging the console improvements to the live servers. The tribble build only works on higher end systems at present, so they have a lot more to work on to scale it down for the majority of players; this will likely keep systems and art tied up, and likely content is working on the next story arc, which we should see the beginning of soon. I would not count on seeing much of anything new in the October patch cycle beyond bringing PC and Console into parity. There are hints that kits are getting added to the upgrade system, and Bort mentioned that there are torp and cannon travel speed increases in test, but whether that's ready for October or not remains to be seen.

    As far as Gamma goes, they'll likely save it for the next expansion. We get one of those every year and a half or so, so don't hold your breath. Besides, with the T6 Keldon, JHDC and JHECs out now, what's left to add, really? That one small Cardie ship that everyone forgets about?

    Id like them to schedule some breaks, as i too am getting fatigued.

    Why does there always have to be something OP?

    Crystaline will probably be next May. If this year is used as a reference, we'll have another Breach event before that, probably after the STO Anniversary. So I'm pretty sure the next major event is actually gonna be the Winter event. Unless you count the Halloween run of Hearts and Minds.

    QFT. I'd love a couple of weeks to just get my later toons more up to date, hunt a few ship masteries, just play the game a little. (Am already doing this now since I'm ignoring the MI event, but not everybody is). Maybe even up to Q's Winter. But games like this don't work that way, without some carrot, many of the mules stop treading ;)

    There is an officer appreciation weekend on the roster and there are strong rumors that Mine Trap will return as an event.
    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.
  • ltminnsltminns Member Posts: 12,573 Arc User
    They missed the perfect time if they were going to bring back a revamped 'Mine Trap'. That's what should have been the Event that straddled the 50th Anniversary and not 'Mirror Invasion'.

    Damn, I hate the Breach event. It's too long! If they do a Breach event, PLEASE let it be an account unlock.
  • waldotrekwaldotrek Member Posts: 320 Arc User
    We may get a new episode with weekly rewards or a few weeks of dil, xp, and such weekends. Yes a break is needed. Also we are overdo for the Shuttle Weekend event.

    Probably won't be. Go in with a beam build and FAW. Makes the trench run easier.

    The biggest problem with the Breach is the length. They should drop the first part where you run down the trench and start at the breach. Playing this daily for all of my toons is a grind and not fun. This mission seems to drop a lot and you have to start all over again. No thanks!

    Yea... I only run it on my 3 faction mains. Even Mirror is a grind with more than three characters.

    I suspect the next "big" thing to be another repetition of the Winter Event. If you're lucky, it will reward a new Breen ship, maybe a T6 version of the warship or something.
