    There won't be any real world teams slotted in. Cryptic would break themselves having to pay for licensing fees and royalties. Not to mention that in the future of Star Trek, nation states on Earth were broken up.

    A bunch of that sounds like way to much fun for Cryptic.

    Or any video game company for that matter...

    Since you failed to prove that people visit tropical paradises wearing full baseball uniforms specifically to SUNBATHE in and partake in water sports you've won nothing.

    How adorable you think that I'm trying to prove anything when I'm already against it from the start. I'm, not here to prove your point by showing proof. I'm here to make a farce of your attempts at trying to justify your viewpoint. You want proof? You post proof in the way of pictures of your suppositions. I will however speak from experience as that can be taken with a grain of salt and refuted as you might want. Doesn't mean you're right. Just means you're just trying (rather futilely) to be more comical than I am.

    I'm more than well aware of the teams in the Dominican Republic and Jamaica and how they play in outdoor fields in the summer. However, having dated several baseball jocks, I laugh at the travesty of your counterpoint when I tell you that the only time they ever wore their uniforms outside of a game, was during promotional events.

    This means:

    NOT for walks on the Beach.
    NOT for sunbathing (unless they want to be heckled for the farmer tans they're bound to get that way). And most definitely
    NOT for water sports.

    So unless they encountered some superstition that involved them constantly wearing their uniforms in order to win a game or series, what you propose is nothing more than a straw man...

    I'm also showing the narrow world view that Cryptic is doing by fixating on the back-story for Benjamin's Sisko's love of baseball because DS9 decided to make it the diversion trope of the series.

    I know this game is beginning it's downward slope to shutting down, the question I have is -- does it have to follow the path Paramount did by beating the horse so dead, nothing remains?

    Starship emotes are fine as a holo thumbs up/down/LLAP but why the hell are they now to be audio ones?

    Will they be unrestricted and therefore another reason to avoid "social" areas like sol space or will they be heard by team members only?

    Will we get the option to mute them?

    Quit arguing about baseball already and move along. The main reason it was included to begin with was because of the DS9 connection.

    But this year is Discovery, right? ;)


    (...which, yeah, has even less summer/vacation-appropriate stuff than DS9. Hmm.)


    edit: I think that part of the issue is... those of us who just weren't interested in the baseball stuff last year, consoled ourselves with the thought that it was just one year, not every year can be of interest to everyone, and there'd be something different next year. But, well... :|

    Can we NOT do this thing about "Dixie," please? It's NOT part of the event, never even made it to Tribble, so in reality was never actually part of the game to begin with. And since it isn't part of the event, this discussion about it is derailing discussion of this year's event. So, let's drop it and move on.

    Why? Seems wasteful to do that.
    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!

    Baseball, honestly, Baseball ? Can you come up with nothing new, or is the news correct and STO will be dead in two more years. The amount of effort that seems to have been put into this event is extremely low. I'll be there for the ship only, anything else you had hoped for is of no interest to me, which is sad as RISA was my favorite event, until last year, and you held on to the very reason I lost interest in it it seems.

    Drydock it. It could very well be that visual options in the Ship Tailor would be something you may desire in customizing the T6.

      well, peanuts are obvious - those are a baseball staple food​​

      So, one could assume that we'll continue to see baseball uniforms on Risa until all 16 teams are made. :smirk:

      so...since the caitians have a team, do the ferasans? i can't see them passing up a chance to prove their superiority in THAT arena too as they try to do everywhere else​​

      The fun in the sun is returning on July 2nd, with an updated T6 Risian corvette, new space and ground emotes, new costumes and more!

      https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11190533

      Does the Tire 6 Risian corvette replace the current Risian corvette Tier 5 or will there be a second Admiralty Ship?
      Question 2: If these are two different ships, would it be possible allow for players to slot the older (T5) ship as a second project for Alt Charters? Or Also get the T5 Ship for free as part of getting the T6?
      Event ships are now account unlocks which can be reclaimed on all characters, they have been for years now.

      Currently, you can't slot in an older project. If you still had a character that still has the project for the T5, it would still remain in your event mission slot list.

      Before they enabled us to be able to finish older ship project slots with the current winter event tokens, I ended up deleting most of the older projects. So those ships are only available if I (ever) get an Epic Phoenix box.

      But I missed one character, who had the

Baseball is widely played throughout the Caribbean, you know, a tropical and jungle island filled paradise with ocean as far as the eye can see. Actually sounds a lot like Risa. Strange, huh?

      I don't hate baseball. I simply don't think its relevant to an event like this, and feel there was no need to recycle it. It wasn't quite as bad the first time around as they were at least able to tie it into ViL and DS9 anniversary.

      Want a beach sport? VOLLEYBALL!

      Even Klingons get into volleyball.

      They like spiking the ball, esp. if they have spikes attached to the ball ;)

      I would humbly ask for volleyball items/emotes for next year. The grey tank tops are getting lonely all by their lonesome!

      I'd suggest a volleyball net popping up as part of an emote for that game, but it'll end up becoming a griefing tool, even if people would be allowed to run through it. If it was as those Engineering shield skills/kit items, then it would be a huge mistake.

      Yeah... So, can we have Lawn Darts next year?

      Lawn Dart costume piece ideas:
      *Lawn Dart head piece, like the old arrow headband that looks like an arrow is piercing the head.
      *Lawn Dart boots:
      *Low Boot version has Lawn Dart sticking out of foot.
      *High boot version has Lawn Dart sticking out of knee.
