Slightly related, but was the date for the summer event released already?
I estimate it to be a week or two after finishing this current even ends at 27th June.
Nothing official, but on console we've had the Delete Alt Control event announced to be running from June 20th to July 19th. As the summer and winter events usually run simultaneously on all platforms, I would imagine Risa won't start until at least the latter half of July. Occasionally events overlap by a few days, but not often.
Updated Obelisk is spotted on console Risa summer map.
Guess this makes it all but official.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

That is good, having it available account-wide is a lot better than having it only on one character. I just checked on PC, and it is still the dragon ship up there.

I might have an educated guess as to what will replace DLT ALT CTRL on PC on the 26th. First off, very likely a Red Alert event will occur, and then either a recruitment event (temporal, maybe?) or the fourth campaign event. This is if the summer event doesn't immediately follow DLT ALT CTRL.
Also of note, consider the fact that previous seasonal events occurred concurrently on console and PC, but that was during the slightly less "busy" event schedule of years past. Now, we have a busier event schedule (six campaign events instead of just five, and what seems to be more Red Alerts).

I saw on Facebook that we got a Red Alert coming up. And we usually do have a Red Alert between events. But yea... not sure how the Summer Event will go if Console is going DLT ALT CTRL next.
I have heard that they are having some kind of bug problem with the T6 Obelisk (and suddenly with a few other, older, ships), maybe that is delaying things a bit.
If they do spin up a recruitment on PC immediately after DEL-ALT-CTRL I hope it is the Gamma one and that Temporal goes back to its usual fall-quarter slot where I am more likely to have the time and money to do more of it.
Now that's a first--I don't ever recall a ship itself having a bug. It's usually a trait or console that causes such issues. Also of note--it's been quite a while since we had a 2-week red alert. Have those been completely phased out? The last, what, four or five red alerts have all been one-week affairs.

The T5 Obelisk is a bit bugged right now due to them slicing it up for customisation with the T6 version.
Existing versions of the ship are missing parts but they re-appear when going to the ship tailor and re-applying the template, just as what frequently happens whenever other ships are remasterd or updated.

Recall - they're trying to cram in six events this year and not five. Thus, there's less time for two-week Red Alerts and one-weekers will be more common this year.

Fair enough. Also, to be honest, DLT ALT CTRL is the first time I can recall Epic Prize Tokens being directly given out as a completion reward. And is DEFINITELY the first time that a "one per character per account" mechanic has ever been used (in regards to these tokens). You just KNOW that the use of DOMINO is going to skyrocket now, as it puts this erstwhile somewhat difficult to obtain console within EVERYONE'S reach.
And the return of Lobi crystals as a reward is a welcome sign, as well.
I believe the magnanimity being demonstrated so far this year spells great things for STO in general.
Yeah, I certainly wouldn't mind seeing more RA-events and fewer events with unique rewards that induce FOMO.
Though I will be playing the RA event since I have a new toon that could use the upgrade token.
RA-events are nice in that the reward is interesting and probably encourages at least some players to log on. But if you don't want to play, you're not really missing anything either. It's actually a perfect type of event and things could work great for both Cryptic AND for players who are burned out by the endless events, if a larger share of the events were RA ones.

The Red Alert is running alongside the last week of the DLT ALT CTRL-event.
Which isn't unusual, it has happened before that a RA-event launches when another event is still running.
My guess is that the summer event will begin right after the RA-event has ended. So probably 2nd or 4th of July.
If they intend to run the Summer Event on both platforms at the same time, that theory does run into a wall. Console will be starting their own DLT ALT CTRL event soon. Unless they intend to double up on things on Console we might have to wait until after Console finishes their new season update event for the Summer Event.

Isn't their event already live? "June 20th at 8am PT to Julye 19th at 12pm PT on Xbox and PlayStation" according to the blog... though typo'ed. A bit of overlap between major events seems more common on those platforms from my understanding. If one was going for just the main reward and didn't miss any days, that'd be only a couple of days overlap before one could just do the Summer Event.

As mentioned, it's already active - we got it on Thursday, although without the C.A.T.'s.
I don't mind if they run two events at the same time on Console. At least then, there'd be some catch-up to PC. You'd think having all three platforms on the same build of the game might simplify things a little...?
But I'm no Dev, so my impressions of what might be easier could very well be some way off.

Agreed, but I think it's unlikely that we'll see no events whatsoever.
At least that's what I'm assuming. Only Red Alert events for a while is a second-best option, imo.

The problem isn't having the same builds on all platforms, its having to let Microsoft and Sony verify the patches for XBox and Playstation. I believe that is part of the reason why we're not synced up between PC and console for 90% of everything. The remaining 10% would be the seasonal events that Cryptic wants to run at the same time on both.
T6 Obi is cool, looking on the official STO news page, appears Risa will be offering a NEW Dance move - anyone know the name of the dance emote, and how to get?
so im a little confused. This is the ship that was spotted on Risa on console 2-3 days ago:
https://i.imgur.com/uj39Nnr.jpeg
and this is the ship announced today. This was a pre-view also a couple days ago:

These are clearly not the same ship as the undersides and front ends are different. also the second picture implies that the Vovin Iconian Variant, the one announced in the blog today, has to be purchased from the Z-store. Even ChatGPT says these are not the same vessel when i had it analyze both pictures.
So which one are we getting? are there two variants? what ship is currently being displyed on console Risa?

1: ChatGPT is not a reliable source of data. It doesn't give answers, it gives answer-shaped pieces; we don't have artificial intelligence yet, and I'm not convinced it's even possible with current computer technologies.
2: Placeholder art doesn't always look like final art. Things are getting tweaked up until the last moment, just to make sure everything works that way it's supposed to.
The summer event ship is called the Vovin Obelisk Carrier (T6), and the summer event is scheduled to start on July 2. This is according to PC loading screens that show up (alternating with the Red Alert loading screen).
Now that's a first--I don't ever recall a ship itself having a bug. It's usually a trait or console that causes such issues. Also of note--it's been quite a while since we had a 2-week red alert.

We've had a similar issue with the ground tailor. Moustaches for a hot second a few years back made characters invisible. Likely the same issue just manifesting with a different set of personal assets (eg. ship).

That's the exact same ship at two different angles and a bit of perspective warping for being a ground asset near a human sized character.

The picture we got in the blog is of the dorsal (top) section.
Considering the Vovin Obelisk is a VERY large ship (easily twice the size of the Hysperian), it's gonna be quite the looming (but beautiful) sight when we all go to Risa in a few days. Carriers are usually among the larger ships in the game.
Also of note, considering they're posting loading screens teasing the upcoming summer event (including the event ship), that might mean they've fixed whatever issues may have been going on with the T5/T6 Obelisk.

The original issues with the T5 Obelisk was probably them chopping it up for kitbashability with the upcoming T6.
