    Well, this is a nice surprise. Phasers too? My NX captain will be happy about that. ;)

    Just for confirmation, this will be a new map, right?

    I see we've stooped down to multiple events at the same time now. Grind squared activated.

    Very much looking forward to this - the Phaser rewards could be very useful for me too.

    I hope the mission begins with the Kobayashi Maru audio recording from The Wrath of Khan!

    You have just earned the Pizzenmone Accolade.
    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!

    Thanks, Kael. I squeed quite loudly and everyone at work is looking at me like I've lost my mind.

    We do what we can with what we have. Maybe an alternate future, we have it as a normal queue.

    Is this event unlock account wide or per character as the announcement isn't clear either way.

    lnbladelnblade Member Posts: 410 Arc User
    So am I correct in guessing that this is being brought back as Arena of Sompek in space? Is the reward an account unlock? Will future events award non-phaser versions of the weapons?

    Can someone in the know tell us if it is account unlock or per character (like most other PvE)?
    ...
    hm....unless it will take more than 30 minutes i should make it on all my 8 Feds, but account would be nice.

    I assume we'll get a backdoor into Cryptic's servers so we can change the simulation assumptions? Hmmm? :)

    Seriously, good stuff. Thx!​​

    Now to begin a plan that no cadet in the history of Starfleet has ever tried before! It'll surely beat the simulation.

    I would honestly prefer more story content or the ability to choose the mods we have on our crafted gear, purely RNG is not a good feature to have.

    Seconded - good to see you did keep that promise about No Win Scenario (sort of). This, and AoS, should be like CC and Breach - available year-round, but with certain events coming around every so often.

    As for the new phaser variants - rather than single items like I suspect they are, consider either of the following options:
    • blueprint unlock (allowing players to craft them); or
    • dilithium store purchase unlock
    In either case, I would also suggest they be available in omni-array and turret flavors as well.
