    The Enterprise, the Defiant, and even Voyager have been called back to defend such an important location, close to the heart of the Federation.

    Well, now we know who the mystery VA is - it's Kate Mulgrew.

    Also, technology spike...the Terrans had 29th-century technology during their initial Badlands invasion, and they still lost against us - there is NOTHING they can get from Jupiter that will make them any more dangerous.​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"

    Not so sure - Voyager has been commanded by Tuvok whenever we've seen it.

    Although I guess Janeway DOES outrank him...

    Hmmm, I recall Janeway asking Seven of Nine to meet her at Jupiter Station for a special project that she was working on in a blog around the time of AoY/Temporal arc. This would be a nice callback to that blog.

    People actually read the game lore blogs?!? If it isn't patch notes or something important. I don't bother with it. Personally, I think lore and story belongs in the game, not in a blog.

    The story blogs could be added into the game through a resurrected Memory Alpha or the Path to 2409 midterms/finals that are done at Starfleet Academy and Klingon Academy. They could even be accessible from our ship's ready room like that one mission part of the Romulan arc called Frozen for Feds, Klinks, and everyone else.

    Oh, that reminds me of the few times when I talked about how some characters in a mission weren't really introduced, so they came out of nowhere to bring a solution/cause troubles only to have someone go "ackshtually, you hater not paying any attention to the story, this character was introduced in a lore blog, but you'd know that if you really cared".

    Turned out in these cases, it was because said characters were indeed introduced in the lore blogs WAY earlier than the mission they are in. For instance, the crew of the OSS Coldstar from the mission Partisans was introduced first in a lore blog...

    ...

    4 YEARS before the mission.

    As for the head's up above about the Nebulae, I think we'll likely see a few surprises coming over the next week or two regarding the 12th Anniversary Bundle. They originally stated a week or two ago during a Ten Forward show that it likely not come as the Anniversary started--we may have to wait a week.

    ▬▬♫♪♫♪♪▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

    I saw Nick posted this earlier today. The standard disclaimer he's made consistently for the 2410 Federation KIT, this is for Missions/TFO's aboard Starships, smaller Starbases, and other Federation Facilities. It's not intended for Starship Interiors.

    In Redemption - Part 2, Commander Data was given command of a Nebula-Class starship, in the effort to catch the Romulans who were supplying weapons to the Duras Sisters.

    It's been a while, but I thought it was from the time he was transfered to another ship as it's captain, so it took a bit of search through IMDb and then the Star Trek database, and from there YouTube :smiley:

    Anyways, it was Data's first command posting, however temporary that it was.

    Speaking of older ships getting mentioned for reasons:



    Inside the patch notes, lie mentions about the Cheyenne and Olympic getting revamped. Here's the un-cropped screenshot showing them.

    And potentially, evil Janeway in STO:

    Do they finally break with canon and give the ship actual/visible Impulse Engines? ;)

    I'd be excited by a Legendary Nebula. I didn't think mine had a issue seeing the Warp &/or Impulse Engines, your sense of humor is subtle similar to mine.

    I'll try not to get the Nova, since it's included in bundle with DeVinchi - we'll have to wait (patience) is a virtue, to see what the 12th Anniversary Bundle Unfolds over the next week or so; be nice to see a Starter Bundle for all 10th, 11th, and 12th Anniversary editions. Wished they had a more moderate starting point with 2 ships not just 1, so then the later upgrade is more appealing.

    For the Bundle that's coming for Anniversary they said it would likely be perhaps a week or so after the Start of this Epic Anniversary Adventure; and today we saw one of the first ever Captain's finally make an appearance. I had a feeling given her earlier tweet about STO several months ago.

    The only thing better than that would be the original Q himself who I'd really love to see, or at least one of the others from the Continuum; yet perhaps that's just me. ;)

    ╘ she played not only Lady Q, yet also Selar, K'Ehleyr, and Tarah in Enterprise.

    Be nice to have a few more Ladies, be apart of STO Canon.

    You have a good day!

    Well, in the new episode, the ISS Enterprise has the T6 Nebula torpedo pod, so perhaps it was just this.

    Seems they are relooking at Intel now, at least Bridge Officer abilities.

    Note: Several have already left very valuable feedback regarding Intel, so have a read and some of the other tweets in response.

    so glad they made a forum thread about this as well. /not

    glad we are not forgotten in such things. /not

    thx for posting strat. but this - AGAIN - shows how little the - OFFICIAL - forums get any details or wanted input as such.

    Also shows that Kael's post (in the 'How to have a Discussion' thread) saying "I will continue to try and get better about monitoring these forums and answering your questions" from early December last year wasn't really worth the time it took to type.

    I am starting to wonder if it's his boss that is the bigger part of the problem. Most companies wouldn't keep an employee that barely puts in a minimal effort at best 90+% of the time and yet Kael has been around for quite a while now.

    He does stuff for Champions Online too. STO isn't the only Cryptic game he works with on a regular basis.

    (He's also WAY better than the previous STO Community Lead; but said previous lead didn't set a high bar to clear in that regard.)

    Yes as always, he's stated it's not for Ship Interiors; yet Missions, TFO's, etc... ...he's been consistent.

    His work seems wasted on STO. This would be amazing for a game like Elite Dangerous or sonething, where you would actually go to these spaces, open that gorgeous shuttle bay door, see the planet and then take a shuttle down there.

    Here it's for a cutscene in a mission you play once and afterwards only force alts through to get sone kind of reward 🤣

    I admit that I wished the DEV's would sometimes post their twitch or twitter post to the DEV's forum. Yet most people can quickly follow them just scanning thru the links posted by others. Also Ambassador Kael does post some of the DEV's twitter posts to the https://twitter.com/trekonlinegame

    Nevermind. I thought they were updating the TFOs but it turns out they just half-TRIBBLED the blog as per usual. Good job Cryptic! This is why we can’t “have a discussion.”
