dStahl talked about trying to add better playr/dev interaction to the communication channels they're currently using. Since they're internally really liking this whole "dev blog" thing, it makes a certain amount of sense to enable comments there, instead of dragging the conversation to the forums.

From my understanding all fleetmates regardless of level can join these (they're boosted to level 50 for the duration of the event) and the better you do the more Fleet Marks are given out. Fleet Marks are essential for starbase upgrades (note that these starbase challenges are not the sole method of obtaining said Fleet Marks).

Probably because these involve defending our fleet's starbase, and starbases havent been released yet. But thats just a *wild* guess.

:rolleyes: Yeah, nice try at a distraction, Weyoun. Very few people give a **** at this point.

but scaling to level 50 is the wrong way
the attack should scale to the defenders
(so if 2 lts scramble it should be a couple of warbirds not 30 cubes)
That kind of makes sense, since the Lts won't have access to all the BO powers... maybe it should scale everyone, NPCs and players, to the highest player in the instance.
Also, what do you mean you'll have a"ship stationed at starbase at all times"? These things are just like the Borg Red Alerts now - no need to station anything anywhere.
Thus a strong ship will be in defence and if needed I will switch to that Alt and THEY will defend the station.
IIRC they said that the two would be similar, not that the SB events are replacements for the Red Alerts.
That'd be nice, but only if you join the queue with at least 1 fleetmate on your team.
I believe it said on Stowiki that the release is planned for testing in late June/early July, with release planned for July.
this is not a distraction, this is business as usual, some of you need to get over it and move on with your sad life about the forums.

Executive producer Dan Stahl recently said it'll be out in July (since Tribble testing will still be going on first week of July, my estimate would be mid-to--late July for Holodeck release).
As we haven't gotten fleet starbases on Tribble yet, we don't know how many bugs there'll be to fix and so it's probably a good thing they haven't said that it will absolutely be out on date so-and-so, bugs fixed or not.

Bran -
Please please please tell us how the mission and the queue will work for small fleets.
I am in a very small but very dedicated fleet. We always have 3-4 players on, but can't get a full 5 except once in a blue moon (actually less often than that).
We are concerned that we won't be able to play the mission described here ever.
We are concerned that if we can play the mission, we won't be able to succeed without more players.
If you (or a dev) could address these two issues I (and I imagine many others) would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance. :biggrin:
