TOS toons

So, I'm playing this morning on one of my TOS toons, and during the completion of a mission, I'm PERMANENTLY transported to the 25th Century. I rolled my TOS toons so I could play TOS. I had no idea that it was a temporary part of the game. I was looking forward to getting a Constitution Class Starship and playing it.

There are other ships available that are ToS style and looks, but the game mostly takes place after TNG and ships are from that era.
There are a few time travel missions to take you back for the mission but that's it

If you're looking for a character that you can keep in a separate era for a bit, try the Disco character. They've added more in-period content twice I think so far for that? And I would think they'll add more given that ST:Discovery has moved on from that time frame, which might give Cryptic some more liberties in that space. Plus ST:Section 31 should give some more content for that time, when it launches.
But otherwise, yeah for both 'in the past' options, you'll end up in current time after a handful of missions.

While true, that I'd a very very long road for a new player, I was attempting to give him the basics for what he's looking at now rather than get into the economics of trying to get such an expensive ship off of the exchange.
A new player jumping in looking to fly a Connie is really better to look at what else is available until they have a bit of experience in the game to look at that long grind don't you think?
It's what? Over a billion for the Connie these days? *Shudder*
In fact if you include the devidian arc and (currently removed) subarc in the klingon war arc, you get more content in the 2260s-2270s then you ever get in the late 2250s.

That's one bad joke.
as far as I know the 2257 arc is over and done with as with the 2270 arc and we'll only episodes like the most recent which are set in 2410 or later, but involved event or characters from DSC in some way.
The Spectres arc (the one with the Dividians) is not removed, though for some unknown reason they locked it away to endgame even though it is still a level 30 mission or thereabouts internally (you still get the Andorian phasers last time I checked, which are nice for TOS captains, but they are still only rare quality which is a very bad thing at endgame).
It would have made a lot more sense to keep it in the episodes tab and skippable since it is a full arc, or at least keep it available at its original level in the 'available' tab.
I wonder if the endgame lock was done to try and drive TOS players to K-13 for their gear. If so they did just the opposite since a lot players see there is nothing available in TOS phasers readily available and not knowing about K-13 (or not having enough fleet resources to buy anything there) just give up and use other weapons. Spectres was in just the right position originally to keep them going.
But yeah you're right, at least for now the Disco content is 2410-based.

Never the less, I will endeavor to persevere and obtain the ship I desire by other means.
Your information was valuable and appreciated.
