I thought the new rashguards were interesting, but I don't really see the point in having georestricted costumes, as in, ones you can't use away from Risa.
I have no interest in bikinis, but the one piece swimsuit could make an excellent sleeveless shirt if added to a regular uniform or outfit.
Likewise, I could find uses for the rashguards if they were combinable.
But because they aren't, I don't waste any tokens on unlocking them, because my rule with anything is if you can't use it anywhere you want or in any costume, then it means nothing to me.
And Champions Online tailor proves costume mix&matching is fairly popular, so categories should just be removed and allow us to have Infinite Combinations in Infinite Diversity.

Turns out a handful of the Risa costumes show up in Off Duty. The explorer & beachcomber, a few of the swimsuit tops (Criss-cross, Mini-T, Sling, Retro), and (I think) the closed shirts. So the Rash Guard outfits might end up in Off Duty as well, since they're just t-shirts & shorts. We'll see....
Risa needs pve queues which let you use water guns in a similar way as Super Mario Sunshine. Maybe even an event involving someone disabling the weather systems and everyone needs to stop them in order to reactivate them, maybe involve a Vorgon as the main villain or something.
No Competitive marks for monkey or bird trade ins I see. Thanks a heap. Dead Competitive queues and there's really no other way to get the marks outside of the Red Alerts daily bonus. Guess I'm done with this Rep.
Hello. My name is iamynaught and I am an altaholic.
Well the Klingons for the Mok'Bara finally showed up so I was able to complete the Master Relaxer Accolade. They show up on the hour at the half hour, i.e. 1:30, 2:30, 3:30, etc. You have to be right there on top of the Arch as they only stick around for less than 15 SECONDS. This is so broken.
Boff Training Manuals and Kit Modules are no where near being compatible with the cost of the Manuals/Modules from the Winter Event. So outfitting one Character with the 3 Kit Modules and one of each of a Science, Tactical, and Engineering Boff with three Manuals each would cost::
Modules: 3 x 1,000 = 3,000
One of each Boff Type x 1,500 = 4,500
Three VR Doffs x 1,000 = 3,000
Total 10,500 Favors

Oh wow, I didn't even think to look at the prices of that stuff. I guess some part of me was thinking they lowered the prices but apparently they didn't. One more thing I'll not be bothering with on Risa. Sad.

this is probably a mistake but unfortunate because it means i will have to leave risa next week to do the red alerts. usually i like to stay the whole time.
please add these for next thursday.

They mucked up the Competitive Marks in The Mirror Invasion when it first came out as well. They never learn.

Burned out on Mirror, didn't even finish the project.

Federation characters have access to a transwarp that puts you right outside the Risa system, but it's hidden in among the Beta Quadrant transwarp destinations.
As far as those who have mentioned Competitive queues being dead, what did you expect with the Mirror Event going on? That sucked in just about everyone as it provided better rewards and was a time-limited event. Now we have the Summer Event, so that will take up people's attention. Once the Summer Event is done, it's possible the Competitive queues will start coming back in activity, though I suspect the only reason they were as active before was that they were the best way to level up in the new Reputation and there was nothing else 'going on' prior to this.
I noticed that on a Fed toon, when I get to Risa, I have the option of beaming to the resort or the Classic Beach, but on a KDF toon, it's just the resort. Is that a bug or intentional?
Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.
Things I want in STO:
1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!

My Klingon characters have it, too. I think it is unlocked by being in a fleet that has a Starbase Transwarp portal of a certain level, of all things. Characters on Tribble are not in fleets and don't have it.
This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

Hi Dev Team
I just wanted to say thanks for all the effort you put into the new "Artifact Scavenger Event". It's a nice use of the scanning mechanic that we really don't see enough of, and the description of each artifact includes some really nice references to Trek lore.

It's not working on 23rd century temporal recruits. I already switched to do it on one of my older characters... which wasn't my plan originally.

Thanks Kael. I'm assuming that the new manual and boff manuals will be on Risa tomorrow after a patch, right?

They're in the rep store, and being sold by a vendor on the map. Just confirmed it myself.
