      How about actually letting our fleets celebrate Christmas properly with ACTUAL DECORATIONS AND TREES AND LIGHTS for our Starbases!? The Ship Projects are pretty lame and old hat, and last year's didn't even appear when completed!!!

        That black nanopulse Mek'leth is very cool. The Cryo Visor Kit Module is cool too since it can be used outside of the Winter Event. The orange winter jacket looks nice, & that new skiing outfit looks nice too. "Many new trinkets, costumes and other prizes are being added to the Winter Event Store." I hope Cryptic means it & it's just not filler-words. The Breen Plesh Tral wasn't a very good secret, but still looks like a nice ship. Hopefully the stats will be good as well. I'm a bit disappointed that it's just another Breen ship again, so far, but Cryptic does have a tendency to copy & paste their work to us. Maybe they'll gift this Tral a little innovative feature. That creature pet looks very similar to the one living in my closet. Not great but nevertheless well done, Cryptic, in offering a bit of new for another Winter Event. Now time to prepare for all of us to grind away.

        That sure is a pretty Breen starship you got there.

        But...uhh. I love Mek'leths...but that's kinda...umm...huge. It's a short sword y'know?

        The Mek'leth looks too big ... but I still want one.

        I really hope the new T6 raider has pilot maneuvers so we can do a quick boost, reverse, or roll left/right to evade or keep our cannons locked on a single target.

        the skiing outfit looks very 90s (is that from TNG episode as it sure looks like it) but the pants and boots look like that my captain and finally get some proper winter pants rather then using the oddy pants and shoes assuming those pants can be used with winter jackets.

        New ground weapon to smack people around with, i am very happy with this. Though I do hope at somepoint we get wintery themed space weapons.
        Space is vast, it's wonderful and maddening. Yet in that madness is some of the greatest beauty I have ever seen.
      • rattler2rattler2 Member, Star Trek Online Moderator Posts: 58,582 Community Moderator
        NERF GUN! YAY! My inner weapon collector is drooling.

        Same with the new outfits. I am SOOOO getting them all on my main. Also that ski outfit will help me perfect my Sami cosplay if that headband can be colored. And if anyone is wondering, Sami the Orange Star CO from Advance Wars.

        Cryo visor will be an automatic on my sci as she's basically a Cryomancer character. Almost a full kit of cryo modules.

        See y'all in Q's!

        I don't like the handle. They should have used a more mechanical looking one. Or have the grip be the same as the metal ones then fasten an emitter from the Lyrpa where the blade would meet. Then all that's left is animation, lighting and texturing. That would look a lot better for a Mek'leth. Not the giant phallic looking thing they gave us. Now they could have went with a Folding blade like with the Terran reputation would have been welcome as well. I just hope they do some resizing because that thing is too big.

        Its possible that is just a placeholder look. We should find out more when the event starts.

        I absolutely want that nerf gun and the freeze ray. But ya, what's up with the Mek'leth? It's huge! Also weird that the entire thing is made of energy. How are we holding it? Still gonna pick one up for my Klink, but can you shrink it down a bit please?

        Finally! A winter jacket that is an actual nice shade of blue. Misryath (my Frost Giant Space Wizard) will be able to properly attire his bridge crew now.
        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!

        Winter event is Sto's best event for sure. However I have to agree, the Mek'Leth does not look good. Overinflated and completely black, like it's missing a texture...
