Happy Dance time if that's the case!
The Discovery Constitution was already in the previous roadmap blog, for March.
Happy Dance time if that's the case!
I missed that one (hospital), so I shall remain excited and do a Happy Dance regardless
Earn Zen store ships playing events, does that mean you'll be able to pick a Z-store ship in lieu of the event ship? Is it all Z-store ships, or just a select few curated for the event? Does tier have an impact on how many vouchers you need to turn in to claim the ship? For example, would a T2 ship require only 200 event vouchers while a T6 would require the usual 1000?
But I wanted a Risan Yellow Science Vessel Submarine!
Okay, I admit, a T6 Corvette would be fun, too, especially if it means more kitbashing.
Yes. No. Maybe.
I guess you'll have to wait to find out.
Landry or Mirror Landry?
Last Roadmap used a screen grab from the show though. This one's an in-game model so Happy Dance away, my friend.

Going by what's in the 'screenshot' of the June graphic.
I do hope is IS a C-Store and not a Lockbox or Resource pack ship, but we'll see.

Matt, in my years of playing this game (started as a Free 2 play captain, still am), endgame has always been something that they had struggled to really make anything defining. I believe that people running the harder TFOs was what they wanted for endgame. Then again, this is an MMO we're in, so endgame is always going to be a goal post that's moved countless times.
The major update is called "Rise of Discovery" which the title of Age of Discovery Part 3. Make of that what you will, but at the very least, we're getting at least 2 more episodes that will be inserted into the Age of Discovery storyline for Discovery captains as part of their leveling path.
If it's anything what they mentioned on Priority One Podcast almost a month ago, It'll be T6 ships only, so stuff that normally can be flown from level 50 onward like the flagships, multi mission Explorers etc. Can be flown as early as Level 4-5 or lower if the character skips the tutorial.
T6 Nova and Oberth may be made, but it wouldn't be to raise ships that don't have T6 to T6 status.
Well they did say back last year that they would be tying things in closely with the TV show as wished by CBS. So that they are pumping out Discovery related content is not that unexpected. When the Picard Files (or whatever it is called) drops then wouldn't be surprised if content comes out for that and so on. The arc will end eventually and the next one will roll on in.
Though something other than a seemingly endless run of events and same style missions would be good. Exploration, heck even pure diplomatic missions would get some interested.
June sounds interesting. Hopefully not ships I've bought already.
Glad to see a T6 Risian Corvette. It's a fun little ship and looks good. Vorgon ships were ok, but just didn't really seem appropriate for the Risian Summer Event. Two of them hassle Picard when he's on vacation one time. Not a lot of reason for them to be Risian ships, imo. I much preferred the actual Risian 'flavored' ships.
I'd have been shocked if it was NOT coming at some point. More a question of when not if.
Real disappointing infographics IMO.
Original STO beta tester.
gotta tell you making alt's is not the best thing to do when you invest in a mmo for 8,5 years.
At least the semi-random exploration missions gave us old players something else then farming dilithium or runing alt's...
also... im back at the forums... yay.
also [2]... what is this ships level with you? im curious.
spocked thumb face...
As for the Borg, it would be interesting to see just how they could be made 'real end-game enemies' once again.
As for the infographic... I am intrigued. I did see the Discovery Connie rendered in STO's engine. Also this Operation Reposte sounds interesting as well, especially showing the Cardenas class. And earn Zen ships by running events? VERY interested to learn more.
Scaling ships were something that I think the Devs probably have been keeping track of metrics on how scaling ships have been selling in the C-store as well as how many have been seeing use since they expanded it to lock box and event ships.
They're also looking at things from a new standpoint. In the past before scaling ships came out, new players would enter into the game, get started on a their career with a Tier 1 ship, and by the next rank, they'd have to replace because it no longer is able to compete with the enemies. Plus if they find a ship they like early on, it might be a while before they can play with it at endgame if a ship like it does exist.
Now, once it becomes a thing, stuff like the Tier 6 Scimitars and other Tier 6 ships will be available early on for players. Plus, it would get it closer to Star Trek being that you don't see multiple ships being used by one crew in the show.
Is that a cardenas I see?
some good stuff.... also yes to killy/leeta ultimate cat fight.... then have emperor spock come out an be like 'dem durned kids!' and roflstomp em both
totally have a killy/leeta hair pulling catfight scene in my head atm
First time we see Risa was in the episode with the Vorgons who encouraged Picard to go on the scavenger hunt for the Tox Uthat. The Vorgons were time travellers, which tied into the Agents of Yesterday expansion.
From the Star Trek.com database:
"Tox Uthat
Also known as a quantum phase inverter. The Tox Uthat was invented by Kal Dano in the twenty-seventh century. It is a palm-sized crystal capable of stopping the nuclear reaction going on within a star. Afraid that the Tox Uthat would be stolen, Dano traveled to the twenty-second century and hid in on the planet Risa. The Tox Uthat became a target of both twenty-seventh century criminals seeking to retrieve it, and twenty-fourth archaeologists who believed in what was regarded as a legendary device. Dr. Samuel Estragon in particular devoted half of his life to trying to locate the Tox Uthat. After he died in 2366, his assistant Vash carried on and succeed in locating the Uthat, but the Ferengi Sovak and two Vorgon felons from the twenty-seventh century also tried to obtain the device. Captain Picard, vacationing on Risa, became involved and eventually destroyed the Tox Uthat to keep it from any unethical persons."
Besides, it was a nice break from Risa ships.
Actually, it's been asked for a long time. Some of the 'refits' were stopgaps. The "Prototype Light Cruiser" was the prototype for fulfilling this feature. And it was mentioned a while back they were heading in this direction.
The only thing about this for me is that the way ships were made available, it gave me a sense of achievement as my characters advanced in level/rank. Now we just have rank pips for our costumes.
