Upcoming C-Store Release
We are working on plan for what new items will be available in the C-Store during Season 2. Here is a list of the items that are already in development and on the schedule. More to follow in future engineering reports.

Season 2 C-Store Items
  • New Off-Duty Costumes Types
  • - Merc Outfits
  • - Formal Wear
  • New Ships
  • - Excelsior
  • - Nebula
  • New Species
  • - Aenar
  • - Kzinti
  • - Talaxian

.

So the engineering report came out and there are some fascinating things in it.

first we have all of the new updates which are great. personally I can't wait to go see the inside of my ship, and I hope to go check out some wild life. we also know that the Excelsior, and that other ship :D is coming out for 2.0 ( most of us figured that already) I love the fact that season 2.x, and season three will be bring more ships for both sides. but I am bummed that episode replay is being held off until season three.

but the two things that really stick out to me is the this Secret Project, ( I'm wonder what it is ) and Talaxians how does that work?

anyway that is the report. over all I like it, but what do you think about it?

thoughts, ideas, and anything else you want to add on the report?

also what do you think the Secret Project is?

and how will Talaxians work in star trek online?

    Neat. Nice to see the Kzinti are on their way, even if they end up being a Klingon race (love to see the story behind that one).

    The Aenar seem a bit odd - considering a bit of customization to the Andorians could probably achieve the same effect.

    The Talaxians are also odd, since they shoudl still be in the Delta Quadrant. I can understand the Hirogen in the Beta Quadrant - they'd been migrating across the galaxy looking for hunts for a long time. Unless Starfleet or some intrepid Talaxians found a way to cross the distances.

    Federation is already going about the Delta Quadrant since we have Slipstream drive and Transwarp.

    Not really interested in much of this stuff and will believe it when I see it.

    Talaxians - Nuke them from orbit, its the only way to be sure.
    Please dont put Neelix in this game.

    Aenar - Sure, does that mean we can finally have duels on Andoria, maybe even get a diplomacy mission out of it ?

    Secret Project - *YAWN* Gimmie a break. Would'nt happen to be something about the new 'Secret' Enemies eh ?

    it's playable horta and auto charge for your shots. ( 1000 shots for 10 C-store points )

    ok silliness aside, it could have something to do that new enemy.

    The Talaxians have some very special passive traits- listed below

    Annoying = +5% away team damage
    Comic Relief = -10% threat generation

    In the last STO radio interview, Dan said they are working on UGC for Season 3. So either they forgot to list one of the biggest projects for Season 3, or...

    That's my guess.
    • Zinc said to expect an announcement about UGC in August.
    • That bonus Cryptic gets would land in August (if they met the terms of their contract)
    • dstahl is perennially teasing UGC
    • There are a few UGC art assets in Tribble's .hogg files

    that depends. I'm going to hold back until we get an answer on if dstahl makes it where we can earn C-store points in the game or not.

    Considering they ARE putting it in the C-Store FIRST, DStahl's promises to make it so we eventually can get it in game dont mean a lot to me. Not that they did in the first place.

    secret project is UGC.

    Dstahl said recently that he can neither confirm nor deny that UGC is scheduled for Season 3.

    I think the Secret project is UGC.

    and I think Talaxians will work fine. we already have Hirogen in game adn that Talaxian colony that Nelix stayed at, andthe federations probably maintained cotnact with, was clsoer than they were. We have tehse transwarp gates as well. I think Talaxians outright joining the federation would make alot of sense.

    Ugh, indeed.... why add the Jar Jar Binks race of the Star Trek franchise? There are so many other races that could be added first.

    Speaking of which, they're adding Gungans to the C-Store in season 3.
