If you logged out yesterday in the Old DS9, you will still be in that map today. Beam up to your ship and back to get there.

If you've purchased either Gamma Pack, you have to go to the C-store and claim it before you can create a Jem'Hadar Vanguard character.

    I pre-ordered the vanguard pack from the ARC website. Will that pack be there to claim if I am using Steam as the starting engine?

    I wonder how many players will "hold-out" by not leaving the old DS9 version & for how long?

    - Ship Selector on New DS9 is single player use only. You might have to 'wait',
    - Jem'Hadar cannot claim sponsorship tokens from the older reputations.

    The Dyson Sphere's aren't accessible to Jem'Hadar as we're not eligible for the missions involved, so can't do the Voth or Delta quadrant battlezones so we can't do those reputation trees either :neutral:

    What about after completing all the new missions and thereby unlocking the old missions?

    Is that a thing? I didn't think Jem'Hadar were getting the old missions?

    yes, you finish the new quest line you unlock old ones.


    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

    Cryptic I applaud your efforts for a more authentic DS9 & you did very well.

    However, since it is less spacious than the old DS9 rendering, at least by my perspective, what you need to do it input a algorithmic code that applies a balancing calculation to each map of DS9. Of course if not done already. The more players that are on a map the less non-essential npcs crowding-up the place. This would allow automatic adjustments constantly to DS9, or any map really, where maneuvering space is at a premium & during rush-hour versus more deserted times.

    Or have the Hurq sweep through the station once an hour and kill all non-interactable NPCs. ;)

    And apparently you can't skip ANY of them.

    Which is really annoying when you find ones you can't get into.

    Hopefully there'll be some kind of fix for this on thursday.

    I just skipped Mine Enemy all the way up to Cold Comfort through the Journal and the Available tab, except for Lost and Found, which is one of those never-skippable types of mission. I also managed to look ahead and skip Sunrise and Sphere of Influence, just for giggles, but it looks like you can't skip beyond Sunrise, even though they said that would be able to. Escalation, which begins the Delta Arc, and Report on Borg Activities, which begins the Borg arc, are also never-skippable types, so I won't know until I get there. Looks like the only odd duck in that row so far is Cold Comfort, and then everything past Sunrise.

    Edited: I've gone through more missions now and my Klingon-allied Jem'Hadar could skip most things. He couldn't skip Lost and Found, Cold Comfort, Report on Borg Activities, Circles Within Circles, Supply Woes, Surface Tension, Escalation, Kobali Front, or anything in Yesterday's War. I'm ready to assume that he also won't be able to skip any part of the Kobali Crisis. Most of that isn't surprising, only Cold Comfort, Circles Within Circles and Supply Woes had me a bit puzzled, but Cold Comfort is non-combat (unless you're a Temporal Agent who gets an ambush in there from your special task) and the others do unlock specific tasks in the Solanae Sphere. I wish that the Kobali Crisis wrappers would just be removed, and the missions themselves put in the journal so that they could be skipped, but the way that it is, I fully expect those to be as unskippable as they are for any other character. It would also be nice if Yesterday's War and Stormbound (and likely most of everything after it) were made skippable, too, just for consistency.

    It's also possible that new Romulus Aid isn't skippable, but I didn't try, since I wanted to get those cutscenes out of the way, and work my way through the New Romulus arc for reputation reasons. Everything beyond New Romulus Aid is definitely skippable in that arc.

    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    Has anyone else come across an issue where missions are missing after you unlock the ability to go through the older missions?
    On my Fed-allied Jem'Hadar I can't even select 'Beyond the Nexus' or 'Melting Pot' instead in the episode list it goes straight from 'Brushfire' to 'Scylla and Charybdis'.
    Also my Jem'Hadar is unable to get either a Captain's Yacht or a Veteran Ship so will dominion versions of those be released or are we supposed to get the Federation/KDF versions?
