Will you ever fix the updates on Arc/launcher?

I am really getting tired of seeing a flash sale, or special event AFTER it's over. If you would actually update the STO home page on ARC, you might actually get some of my money, but when I see the flash sale A day after it's through, I am more upset than happy. At least update the actual launcher so I can find these things without looking all over the arc news page. My question is does anyone else feel like we are given "news" a little too late most of the time. And, am I the only one that misses the old STO home page on ARC ?

    The flash sale was listed on the NEWS page, you should be looking there: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/index

    It was also posted in the GNN subforum: https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline#/categories/galactic-news-network

    Yes, it would be nice if the launcher was more up to date.

    No, I doubt complaining about it here will make a difference. There is apparently some reason is why it's harder to update the launcher than GNN and the news page. As a wild guess, our community manager does not have the needed rights or access to do it.

    The Flash sale WAS up on the launcher at the appropriate time.

    The point was, that these sales are up on the launcher, long AFTER the sale is over.

    I'm with the OP on this: just keep the launcher updated, please.

    Because of the antiglobal timeframe for flash sales I always see the launcher AFTER the sale has happened.

    Being in game store things should be shifted onto the obnoxious lander. Keep the launcher for things that are bigger, upcoming and will actually exist for a period of time like events or FE's.

    Assuming cryptic want the lander to have any purpose in the game beyond annoying people with multiple characters. PS4 still gets it every swap and PC still has it appear multiple times per session as you swap between alts, not always but often enough.
