- Mike isn't aware when (fixed) House Shattered it coming to XBox.
- Fight to fix Temporal Ambassador is still ongoing. Mike is pretty annoyed with it as well.
- XBox event schedule would be shifted.
- Yes, there would be new legendary bundle this year - this is as much as Mike is allowed to say.
- Steamrunner ships were supposed to be PC exclusive for now, but since they're on PS4 they'd look into adding it to XBox.
- Exp upgrades can't be released on XBox separately from the rest of the House Shattered content.
- Someone lovingly sent a pic of Oberth named U.S.S. Fatum.
- Mike can't announce yet, but "Alliance ship" is right track for guessing the anniversary ship.
- Mike's interested to see what we'd think about it.
- Mike stumbled upon a bug when his KDF char was offered to "hail Starfleet".
- They'd try their hardest to squeeze Eisenberg class in game.
- Robert O'Riley never visited Cryptic because they worked with him during the isolation time.
- Mike still loves Console contact window a lot.
- No info about more things for those who finish endeavor campaign.
- They may have some updates to crafting this year if the idea works out.
- Book's ship in not in schedule right now.
- Usually when question is "why don't we have X in the game" (cardassian hand disruptor was used as an example), the answer is "there are too many other props to model".
- Sometime they actually can afford to do things for the art.
- As to why Zefram Cochrane's costume is unavailable: statue was made as a single piece, so there's no costume to give out in first place.
- Cryptic were heavily considering Enterprise-themed direction, when suddenly all modern shows happened.
- Mike is fascinated that with things like that at its time Enterprise had reputation similar to the one modern shows have today, but now it is also often seen in positive light so the important thing is that it's not just quality of an art, but also preferences of viewers.
- Mike hopes sometime people would stop immediately hating new things.
- "Nostalgia isn't wrong."
- Mike said that responding to every message on every platform will make him unable to actually perform his job, although he tries his best to at least monitor them all.
- About free ship for new event campaign, whether it's for account or character: Mike heard both things said, but isn't aware what's final decision (or is there one already).
- Mechanic from Champions that allows to change weapon's colour is non-applicable for STO.
- Making new races is not as easy as is used to be, as team changed.
- Kelvin!Spocks's volcano suit was removed from immediate schedule when original ground TFO it was made for had disintegrated because of armour/EV integration failure and then it was effectively forgotten. They still plan to make it sometime.
- With how things are, they're likely to model Voyager-J before creating Voyager-A.
- They try to limit power creep, but it's hard to avoid it at all, as they need to make new things interesting.
- Mike has fond memories of putting DS9 skin on a pilot escort during the stream to showcase the updated model and them making it do a barrel roll.
- Or when Jette made Schimitar with screen-accurate amount of weapons.
- Mike finds it unlikely that they'll be able to afford making customizable ship interior.
- Lower Decks, Pickard and Discovery S3 uniforms are planned to be made sooner a later.
- Mike is glad that previously blog story-only characters made it in game for Partisans.
- Yes, despite Mike's usual joking, they actually have plans for T6 Oberth eventually.
- Chat wants Cryptic to name it in Mike's name, referring to U.S.S. Fatum from fan content part. Mike says that he'd have a strike from that.
- CBS don't want people to use some canon names, like Reliant.
- Animation and modelling people in Cryptic was scared when they saw Book's ship do its thing.
- Current Galactic Red Alert form (long, but with experimental upgrade) would be the one for foreseeable future.
- Mike, upon one of boffs dying to the warbeast targ: "Don't stick your finger in the targ".
- Mike would be interested to see STO-modern Cardassia.
- Because of how console' certification work, STO there would always lag behind the PC.
- Mike, upon his ship exploding: "This is going well".
- News for anniversary would start coming relatively soon.
- Re: crossplatform: consoles weren't up to it when they started working on port, and adding that retrospectively seems too much of an undertaking.
- To hell with honor would enter regular TFO circulation.

Day got better with Feline Overlord.
I was actually surprised he responded to me when I randomly stumbled across the livestream on Facebook and asked about the cats. One was napping on the couch behind him.
Think it was around 14 minutes in.
A bummer nothing, again, seems to had been asked nor addressed about a (3) Fek'Ihri console set bonus.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
The funniest thing is, that if they do make the Oberth first they will have made EVERY OTHER ship in the popularity contest before the SHIP THAT WON. Like what the TRIBBLE.
And yet, people asking for a Nova T6 are dubbed as "obsessed" and their post as "annoying". Gotta love it, uh?
Ci sono tre tipi di giocatori:
- quelli a cui non va mai bene niente... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
- quelli che sono talmente imbesuiti da credere a qualunque cosa i dev dicano, perfino che la luna è fatta di formaggio... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
- quelli che credono a quello a cui è giusto credere, sono d'accordo con quello con cui è giusto essere d'accordo e sono critici con quello che non va;
Ai giocatori dei primi due tipi, gratis in omaggio un bello specchio lucente su cui arrampicarsi. E una mazzata in testa per la loro poca intelligenza e compassione verso gli altri giocatori che non la pensano come loro.
Agli appartenenti al terzo tipo, invece, dico grazie. Anche se non sempre si riesce a mantenere la calma, siete quelli per cui vale la pena incazzarsi.
It isn't actually. Back when Enterprise first aired, people HATED it. They wanted to kill it with fire. The same kind of hate that Discovery got. And yet... now people look back at Enterprise and say it was alright.
Its actually quite common for Trek shows to get hate, then years later be looked back on and liked. The Biggest difference though, is just how visible the hate was.
Even the Kelvin Timeline, which many people wanted to burn in the deepest, hottest pits of hell for "destroying everything that came before it" is now viewed more positively.
That's too bad.
ok.
This is disappointing. Even if it were only applicable to some set gear, more customisation options would be an improvement. And I hope they can find people who can work on making new races in the future.
I hope they're only limited in creating new playable species - and not races in general? It would be sad if we'll only meet Klingons or Romulans from now on...

This is good news. It wasn't much fun having to do it daily, but THWH is a fun mission nevertheless.

Ok, thanks for the info.

I like that idea, adds more variety, more reason to redo missions & I tend to believe, usually, the more options the better.
Cryptic would probably have to weigh the value of allowing that with thought for the various Reputations' various weapon types since I'm sure they's still want us all investing into the Reputations still for more than the exclusive items.

They're trying desperately to do everything except that one thing they should have done after making a poll. Especially when there's a fanbase who keeps reminding them about it, it's not too strange to argue that they're obsessed in their disliking of the ship.
Being obsessed with something, doesn't require a positive attitude towards that something, after all.
So, whether the Oberth comments are meant to be jokes or not isn't even that relevant - the Devs' refusal to make a T6 Nova in itself has a lot to do with obsession.

makes sense making playable races is much more of an undertaking then making NPC races as NPCs can be made with limited animation and customization sets.
Back in the Foundry you could see that some NPC only races might have as little as 1 version per rank (Tholians had that IIRC) and had only the animation they absolutely needed to be included.
Beautifully said.

While we are probably due for a T6 Nova... it may just be a scheduling thing. Where and when to bring one in. Unfortunately she's alongside the Kamarag in that aspect. Ships people want, but may just not be on the schedule.
Ultimately... we are not privy to the inner workings of ship design and release. Jumping straight to witholding out of spite is counterproductive. It doesn't help anything, and frankly... is in itself spiteful and most likely perpetrating a vicious circle and "self fulfilling prophecy", as every time a T6 Nova is not announced, its "More evidence of the hate towards the Nova."
She's coming. Where and when is not up to us. And when she does I'm also expecting a full on remodel to the quality that many other canon ships have received, with either using the Intrepid hull material or get her own like the Luna did.
Going on a tirade over the Nova not being released now is not only derailing the thread, but not helping anyone.
