    All I care about is what new ship will we get this time around?

    The Breen ship from last year is def one of my fav ships in my arsenal. Would like to see them give away a choice of ships, so that way those who missed out on previous ship rewards can always go for them again.

    - Breen Chel Grett Warship
    - Jem Hadar Escort
    - Risian Corvette
    - Obelisk Carrier
    - Ambassador/Kamarag
    - Steamrunner Advanced
    Fleet Affiliations:
    FED: Royal Federation Mounted Starfleet: SB3, TAC3, ENG3, SCI3, Win, Int, DOff(T/E/S/B)
    KDF: Parliamentary Klingon Empire: SB2, TAC2, ENG2, SCI2, Win, DOff(T)

    Interested in joining? Please send a PM to @Tahna_Los.

    The Jem'Hadar Escort and Steamrunner were never earnable in-game.

    The JHAS came from a proto-lockbox where players could basically earn a key a day. Just as rare as a lockbox ship.

    The Steamrunner came from a Steam promo that involved spending money.

    Copy-paste Dev blog. Identical to the blog from last year, except for the added reference to the "Gingerbread Colony". Why even bother making this post, if you can't be arsed to add something useful? It's not a state-secret that the Winter Event is coming, so I fail to see how a blog post announcing "It's coming" is useful to anyone.

    Would much rather see actual information on what kind of rewards we can expect this time around. And while your at it, make a blog post that includes BOTH rewards AND stats in the same post. Quit giving us bits and pieces in each blog.

    Ever heard of "building up to the moment"? Think that's the goal here.

    I suppose the starting and ending date isn't useful info for anyone then. Ive only been wondering about that since before season 8 launched.

    I will love STO forever if you guys throw be a Breen Cruiser option, I am a newer player and I didn't get a chance to get one last year. If you do I promise to buy a 5 dollar costume purchase (2150s Mirror) to make it up to you guys for including it :)

    Who said we can't/didn't/aren't do/doing all 3 of those things at the same time ;)

    Obviously the devs that are working on Star Trek Online are working with their counterparts from other dimensions, but there are some problems. Dimension X4392S1 had 2 more TV series after Enterprise and the current TV series plays into STO so things that happen in the show happen in STO and things that happen in STO happen in the show. Since Star Trek is so popular, Romulus was not destroyed and they are playing as the Romulan Star Empire for the 3rd full faction. Dimension A6314Q4 only had TOS so the players are complaining about all the Cryptic designs like the Galaxy, Sovereign, and Defiant.

    So ehm... I like the Winter Event, don't get me wrong. But someone mentioned we'd be seeing a c-store KDF ship before the end of the year? Is that still happening, or was that just the winter event ship in disguise?

    at the risk of sounding negative, i just hope you guys will have the crash to desktop fix live before this event goes live as so far i have not been able to login for 8 days now, missing out on 8 days worth of lobi crystals and i would hate to miss out on the winter event.

    from 5 dec this year I will be having to put all my usual stuff on hold, so no fighting the voth, no saving the deferi from those dastardly breen, no fighting back the borg and no more saving the universe and life as we know it in general until after the winter event is over.
    I am going to take a well earned holiday from all the other sto stuff and devote 100% of my time to having a wonderful festive break in the holiday resort that is lovingly referred to as q's winter wonderland.
    thanks to all you guys at cryptic and perfect world for making the year of sto so much fun for me.
    I cant wait to see what fun there is in store for us.
    have a very merry Christmas an god bless us everyone.
    and a happy new year too.

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

    ... but i would love it very much if , for an winter wonderland event to award a jem'hadar attack ship, at a going price on the exchange of 500,000,000 million ec , or higher , it was already rare as a cstore box , and about as easy to aquire as antiproton mark 12 space weapons, actually harder now ever since the voth came to town .

    Ok , wishful thinking , of course , but in keeping with the spirit of the holidays , hope springs eternal!!!

    finally something new after this boring s8.

    hope it will be as good as the summer event was, with a big new map, exploration accolades, lot of new items / rewards, new events.

    Although I personally hope it will be a science vessel as the reward for this month long grind, I think this video sums up my overall thoughts on the ship we will get....

    Q meant what he said about his drones...er, the dev team. He caught one of them, who was supposed to be working on the Winter Event, slacking off. He snapped his fingers and this is what she did for 3 days straight.

    Can't wait till the fifth. Hope it's as fun as last year!

    End of "The" year-they never specified WHICH year.

    Yes. They clearly mean by the end of 2409, not the end of this year.

    If you make it so I can get both the Breen Ship AND whatever new one comes out, I will be spending lobi in order to make this happen. Otherwise I'll just grind for one or the other and won't spend a dime.

    Please make it so I can get both.

    Hi there Brandon!

    In light of the winter event, please confirm if a fix is coming soon for Romulans / Borg Lib Romulans etc. (any Romulan faction captain's / bridge officers) so they will be able to wear the winter scarves from previous years (and the Tholian Silk scarf) ? Some of these have been obtained from the Exchange for many ECs already and opened / unlocked, but cannot presently be worn/equipped on Romulan faction characters. These players really deserve a fix for this. Desired behavior is that a Romulan character can wear any scarves affiliated with their allied faction (Fed/KDF). Please give us some good news about this! :)

    Thank you!!

    Everywhere I look, people are screaming about how bad Cryptic is.

    That people should know what they're screaming about!

    Finally! This was my favorite part of the game last year and I'm really looking forward to it again this year. Guys, don't listen to the complainers. Nearly everyone I know here loves this part of the game. Thank you for bringing it back :)
