been talking with some people in WW a few hrs ago and the conversation turned into "how to make better summer event"

The first topic was having some BOFF missions to do for the officers, kind of like WW ones.

The second was that all the summer event min games are literally solo things, there is no team games to play, its only about you.
I made the recommendation that a TFO of a water fight could be done, just dont know who you could fight other than some kind of beach monster/s or something.

any other thoughts of what could be done to make summer event less of a grind?

    Personally, I enjoy the change of pace in the summer event and don't find it a grind at all. I wouldn't want it to become like a warm version of Q's winter childishness. To me, THAT is a grind.

    I'd rather they upgraded the maps, both Risa and QWW before adding anything new.

    It's the same 'grind' on both maps, and both require the same amount of days, and QWW gives out way more generously with baubles and trinkets, which you can easily accrue just doing Doffing.

    Fastest game on Ice and Fast and Flurrious are the fastest ways to earn your token across Risa and QWW, coming in at between 80-90 seconds, with Risa's events taking up 3-5 minutes each.

    It needs DOFF assignments - my minions should be gathering resources for me just like they do during winter...and the rest of the year, for that matter.​​
    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?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

    Beach volley ball anyone? 2 vs 2 or 5 vs 5 would be neat if they could pull it off. Maybe some type of frisbee game. Or a team game where you have to defend/repair the weather control stations. Like the Ds9 episode where worf was being a brat. Scuba diving for artifacts and lulnuts? Ya i'm sure that's impossible, lol. Idk I'm just noodling here. Oh snap some kinda golf game, mini, driving range, or chipping challenge. Maybe that racket ball game julian and miles like to play. Baseball would take too many players probably. Unless its a home run challenge or something like that.

    On a side note: I wana have snow ball fights year round. Not sure why i like that qww game so much.

    I agree that there should be Doff assignments that can be used to collect Favors.

    I think a cave maze would be fun. maybe a timed fetch the artifact

    When I was having the conversation in game, we actually made mention of repairing the weather control system, because Worf didnt fix it he just turned it back on, so its a problem that wasnt fixed .... maybe.

    Also talked about having a space version where you had to realign the satellite system because mega dooms day storms were going to ruin ........ a diplomatic summit.

    I was thinking of a water fight with 2 possabilities.
    1: 2 teams work to defend or storm a sand castle, kind of a CTF

    2: Defend the beach from aggressive crabs, only by using fresh water in water guns (dont know if Risa has salt water or not) can you push the snippy crabs back.

    could even use the old Risa map for some of these.

    I came up with an idea for something based on the weather control system a few years ago, it would be great to have a queue based on it for the Summer event.
