Comments
Could we please get a definitive end time so we can sell off our favors without another extension happening?
It was only the Flying High daily that got extended from the 2nd to the 4th and 7th. The last extension only because they turned it off early by accident.
The rest of the event was originally always stated to end on the 15th, and has been extended once now to the 19th, to give people time to finish up the other stuff.
Maybe a more definitive solid schedule in large print on the main website and launcher would help.
All additions made to the GPL Store will remain available after the dates above have come and gone.

Is this in fact true? Or was it merely wishful thinking?
If it is to remain accessible after the Summer Event, will players still be able to hire floaters?
Will the 'Pavyl hunt', 'Klingon/Trill argument', 'Fireworks', and all the other accolades also remain?
Will the new Risian map continue to be accessible by the KDF and its Allied Romulans?
What will happen to the old (original) Risian map?
Additionally, once the store tab in the Event Reputation is unlocked, will it continue to offer Summer Event items (apart from the bird eggs obviously) after 31st August? Or will it merely be empty until the next Summer (or Winter) Event?

Awesome!!!!
For instance, I have a few pearls stashed in my character bank. Will they be deleted or will I be able to keep them and save them for next year's event?

Again, like the Q-Pict, I'd assume stockpile.
Has this idea now been dropped?
Yeah but even with the Winter Event the bauble trader to exchange for latinum or whatever was moved to DS9 so the ornithologist should be moved too. I really don't see why she can't be, we already have Eppoh breeding in game...

Sigh, I was hoarding those glasses to sell on the exchange.
Excellent suggestion...

Our plan is to use the same special tokens in these events every year.
Q-Portraits = Winter
Pearls = Summer
And each time these Seasonal Events return, the same tokens will be used for a new prize.
Or, for finishing off an existing project if you have it slotted from the prior year.
Or both, if you're feeling up for it!
As we get closer to our next Seasonal Event, and our next update to the Event Reputation, we will be sharing more information about exactly what players can expect from the system, and what they can do with half-finished projects and tokens from the previous years' events.

What's the reasoning behind removing the ornithologist? Does continuing to turn in excess bird eggs for marks somehow create an imbalance? Ending the hunt with the summer event makes perfect sense but please give us some use for our excess eggs.
I know that this eggs for marks mechanism was intended as only a temporary summer event but it has proven to be a god send! Please let us continue to turn in our excess eggs for marks. Failing that, please let us convert eggs to Q-Portraits (for the next event) or GPL or even some minor consumables.
Anyway, thanks for Risa! It's been a blast. Cheers!
you can trade in your Winter epohhs at any GPL station prolly the same with Risian Birds.
Tis a Summer Event same as Winter event for winter epohh raising tis over when its over though you prolly will be able to trade birds in at any GPL console for the marks box last I checked I could still turn in a couple Winter epohh I have hanging around. Excess eggs can be traded for GPL.
Since Risa is in Sirius sector it will be only accessible to Fed/Fed-Roms or KDF/KDF-Roms who have Marauding your not suggesting more favoritism are you?
since Fed/Fed-Roms will still have access to the new map after the event ends.

At 1:25 into the broadcast they confirmed that the map is staying around.
:cool:
I guess what I'd like to see for the Event rep is a whole series of updated Fleet Actions similar to CCE that are placed in a regular rotation, so if you don't finish one, you know for sure that it'll eventually be back. Maybe a different featured fleet action every other month.
The doors, Mister Scott!
It got brought back when they realized on Monday they screwed up before the week-end.
Are you implying that the new Risa will not be accessible via Raiding Party?
If so, you're wrong, as Risa can be accessed if you have T3 Marauding or Raiding Party - it's one of the rare cases where diplomatic immunity grants you something otherwise available only to the other faction. (with the exception of exploration clusters like Delta Volanis)
If you're not, then I've wasted a perfectly good explanation.
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
Don't think of it as wasted, think of it as clarifying as new players would not know you get Raiding party from someone who has Maurading ability or that it grants them access to Sirius sector for non-Fed aligned characters
Although It would be nice if I could raid a freighter above the Sol system instead of just picking up Doff missions
But the end of summer promo looks cool

maybe they are giving away the Marauder Flight Deck cruiser as I think thats the only 1 I don't own yet
Good Hunting all
