But Cryptic has spoken before about how they are not focusing on any "events" for the time being. And to be honest I'm happy that they aren't right now; would rather have a working/ completed game first.
im not talking about a full blown out event like tribble servers and people to wine about missing it and not getting reward, im talking about a social gathering or outing it would be cool. even us as a community could do something but unfortuneately the community isnt organised or as friendly as we would like them to be. if we wait for this game to be perfect it will never happen.
Social gatherings are generally Fleet events not forum events. It has nothing to do with how "friendly" the community might be. It has to do with how ambitious Fleet leaders are. If you're a Fleet leader talk to your members about setting something up; or if you a member talk to your leader about something.
I was going to make the obligatory "Why do you only celebrate American holidays" post but seeing as I got to launch fireworks from my ship on Nov 5th, i won't complain.
Seriously though i'd rather holidays were ignored in MMO's. They just clash boundary's, ruin immersion and remind me that the future where we have a greater understanding of the universe is more far off than ever.

Maybe in a year or two we'll start to have them.
Not to sound rude back...But what part of the game is not completed or not working properly? With lots of stuff being added on a regular basis, there will be issues and they are being taken care of in a timely manner. This has not always been the case and I have not been shy by voicing my opionion about it, as I have also been checked occasionally by the Devs and other players for over reacting.
As of now, I have no major issues with the STO team or what they are doing....AND I hope STO is NEVER completed, because when it is...it will be time to move on to another game...
I'm pretty sure we have something in the works for the Holiday weekend. Stay tuned for more news later this week.
All this means is another C-Store sale; that is what they have done for just about every holiday weekend so far. But, maybe this one will have some sweet Black Friday deals.:cool:

thank you storm.
as for the people posting about talk to your fleet leaders i do. most fleets are experiencing lack of activity. if we as a community could organise something would be great. like mult fleet action. i wish that 100s of people could get into a pvp or fleet mission.
hey how about a holiday planet. with different occurances different holidays not just american holidays but australian england scotland greece and what ever other country that plays. im not a dev so i dont exactly know how it would work but idea sounds cool.

That's what I was thinking too. Unless they surprise everyone by having a horg'han magically appear in everyone's inventory.
Everyone would immediately head to Risa even if it didn't have any function just to see if it would work and it would turn Risa into an impromptu social gathering for the holiday weekend.
But as for Thanksgiving...really if you think about it only a very small portion of our planet celebrates that particular holiday, not to mention it's roots are firmly grounded in the beginning of the Native American's relocation woes. The vast, vast (emphasize vast) majority of the UFP would not observe this holiday. So it makes sense why we never see it in the shows, or in the game.
I also agree with Cryptic's stance of not showing any one particular earth holiday....that makes the most sense to me. Focusing on UFP holidays, however, is a whole different story. I hope they get real creative with these UFP holidays, also!
When you say 'will not be a stereotypical Holiday Event' do you mean 'not stereotypical' like the oft overlooked Thanksgiving movie "Thankskilling" or something a little more low key? Like Spock in an elf costume,, or for that matter, all of Vulcan wearing elf costumes, that'd be interesting. Tinsel on the nacelles? Could have reindeer pulling our ships in sector space.

And seeing that I feel like talking about events a tad more.......... the current ESD.....people are wondering if the transition between the current and alledged new ESD will be met will a Klingon attack?

You been taking lessons from Dstahl on how to be a tease?
Maybe a reindeer and sleigh ship skin?
That confirms it. The antagonists for Series 3 are Alien Turkeys!!!!

I am also not talking about a sale.
