And the secret project was....

Some of you may remember in an engineering report (i think) a while back there was mention of a "secret" project. Now as far as i am aware the only unexpected thing that has happened is the release of the Aegis set So i am forced to ask is this it? And if not what is it?

Comment, speculate, bump etc :p

    If I remember right, the secret project at the time was the UGC engine The Foundry.

    Actually, it wasn't. Dstahl said so many a month ago. I think it was the Sector Space revamp, personally.

    No he didnt. The fact of the matter is, no one ever officially confirmed what it was, or wasnt. And another fact is that we KNEW that both the Foundry and sector space revamp were in development, so neither of them were actually secret.

    True, though the Sector-Space revamp wasn't exactly "pushed", really, only mentioned a few times. However, the Foundry was sortof "yeah, it 's in development, it's really cool, but you won't find out any information" :p

    Mind you, Dstahl said that Season 4 has a crew system revamp....

    Right, but at the time of that engineering report the UGC system was a "neither confirm or deny" situation with them, it wasn't until after that they started openly talking about it.

    I mean, anyone with half a brain knew it was coming anyway, just like the sector revamp, but at that point it was hush-hush.

    What Dstahl said was the "maybe neither" the foundry nor exploration was the secret for Season 3. This was in response to one of Nagus' thread. Many took this to be confirmation of whichever they preferred (or both), despite the playful phrasing.

    However, there's third likelihood that adding 408 recipes and changing up the base item list to schematics list was a big surprise that was overshadowed by the sector space revamp (most immediately rewarding) and the Foundry (more rewarding over time).

    My bet is that dstahl was playing coy back then because they weren't sure of the specifics yet. :)

    All i remember him saying about the secret project was that he said UGC and sector space may or may not be the secret project

    Right. However, since neither UGC or the sector space revamp or crafting revamp are mentioned in that list, it means it could be any of them. Once again, no one has confirmed what it is or isnt.

    Since it said said S3+ (i take as meaning after season 3) it means that the secret project isn't here, or it may be the contest going on now.

    The secret project is obviously the secret amount of socks the TMP outfits will be stuffed with.

    i think this is about the third or forth thread on the topic. perhaps a dev should just say what it was, or if its still to come, otherwise we just rotate around the foundry, sector space, memory alpha, borg loot or something yet to come.

    So am I right in that the thread so far thinks the mystery project is either UGC or Exploration revamp?

    Hmm.. interesting... maybe it is both... or neither :D

    Solved.... or is it?

    Basically, dstahl was playing coy with everyone.He wanted to build up mystery.

    The big surprise (to me) was the recipe additions to Memory Alpha. I expected just a few high-end items - not 408 new items in every tier. Dstahl was playing up that the big surprise is what you make it - building suspense while things started to solidfy for the Foundry and Sector Space revamp.

    your right it could be that or maybe its not. personally i dont really care if its here or not.

    its either a) something we have already had, so why does it matter now.

    or b) something yet to come. well as its an mmo constantly being updated there is always stuff coming so every single update could be the surprise, so again why does it matter.

    it would just be nice to find out for the sole purpose of not having to see the same type of thread pop up every 3 days, with everybody guessing as to what it is.

    we need answers to stop the questions. have we learnt nothing from Lost? :D

    in response to this post it says the secret project is (TO BE ANNOUNCED) : KEY WORD HERE : ANNOUNCED. and since nothing has been announced yet on this its pretty safe to say it hasnt come out yet

    Yup i agree that its high time that dstahl announced what the sectet project is and if its already out everyone should get 200 free C-store points. Seems fair:p

    Maybe if we all stop talking about it in the threads, DStahl will tell us what it is? :o

    Or we could just send a ton of spam and not-quite-hate-mail to him and make him tell us. :D

    there is a flaw in that logic.

    assuming the secret project was sector space for example, in which case it was announced some time ago after he made that initial post. they just never tied the words sector space and secret together.

    so whilst it could be something else yet to come, i would not say its a safe bet at all.
