So with Risian DOFFs ... any chance for Doff Missions on Risa ... maybe rewarding Favors (like the Winter Event) ?
And whats the discount exactly, heard 40 & 400 from different people ...
People who still had the mission queued on Tribble in the test phase for S9 had it set to 40. Whether that gets changed before next week is anyone's guess.
There wasn't a single thing I wanted for any of my characters in the rewards from the last summer event. Highly doubt it's going to be different this time.
Still, it will make the other hubs a little less disco ball happy, since everyone will be heading to Risa with them.

This character is why I don't play my Romulan any more. Tovan Khev is NOT my BFF! Get him off my bridge!
Just hope the controls for doing the jetpack flying get tweaked, had so much trouble last year that i destroyed a keyboard (klingon style) and gave up.
Chill out pal. 4ME it was like:
1. stage: 'Buying' rental jetpacks(that sucked all right) but was-more or less- good enough for knowing the basics of how to fly the jetpacks-the hard way-. XD
2. stage: ASAP i tryed to buy a permanent jetpack each for ALL characters...i don't have to say, my life-in jetpack terms-got easier right away- easier to manouver-faster jetpack-almost ok.
3. stage: I did't bother to get the rare purple jetpacks although i should have done it-perhaps, who knows?! The green 'type' perment jetpacks was the quality type i got used to; although the purple ones are probably faster and more manoueverable!?
4. stage: The conclusion: If ya wanna get easy on keyboard bashing get the purple quality jetpack, but the green quality will be ok too; and last but not least train your characters using the jetpack by hiting proper keyboard buttons!XD :)That is all pal, problems solved! : D Have a nice emegency power to Risa everone! HOORAY! Party alot and prosper XD!
Didn't do the summer event last year and after flying a rental jetpack at the beach party a few weeks ago I won't be doing this as it will be to much of a grind for something I found real boring. A jetski race over the water would be more exciting and more fitting with a beach enviorment.

But formal dresses and tuxedo's appearantly do fall under the uniform code? :rolleyes:
Sorry but this is by far the silliest excuse for restricting swimsuits to Risa.
And quite frankly, are Orion Bikini's and Mirror Universe outfits really regulation outfits? :rolleyes:
I agree especially seeing how Orions can wear them all over the game right now
Add a personale officer a security officer to Risa and let the swimwear be worn there all year long.............will be no reason to go to esd except for a ship[

Interested to see what special that geologist has and if/how that special trait influences things like mining. Give us the next blog already.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
Ends July 17??? Hope that's a typo, as far as I know summer runs through august, at least last years event ran through August or halfway through, come on cryptic don't cheat us out of one of he most anticipated events.

Patch Notes : Resolved an Issue, where people would accidently experience Fun.
Time to park my ship in orbit of Risa, leaving my crew to twiddle their thumbs whilst their captain goes off on a month long beach party
"Number one the ship is yours, I'll be back in a month... Maybe two"
Me too man, I pretty much put my crew and fleet on leave and chill.
The crew does go on leave though, I mean seriously Risa is covered in tropical islands, if you knew your boss was on one would you go there. Though I do wish we had the option of bringing an officer down like on New Romulus.
"Rise like Lions after slumber, In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew, Which in sleep had fallen on you-Ye are many they are few"
Replenishes your crew with the crew of your enemy. Because of the fabulous party atmosphere created by the DOFF, the enemy crew transports over and joins your crew in droves.
This powers effect is doubled when on the active duty roster of the Risan luxury liner.
Slotted Risa Swimwear and Risa Captain's outfits further double the effect.
Emergency power to party could have various effects depending on the enemy ship:
- Borg ship-> Ship gets assimilated
- Undine ship -> Crew members weak at partying get killed by the strong ones
- Borg ship and Undine ship in a row -> bar-fight between Undine and Borg crews
- Iconian Dreadnought -> Iconian Doff reward... who proceeds to continously turn all crew members against each other
- Koren's ship -> Audio of Captain Koren whining about anything looping for hours
- Voth ship -> Doctrine's Witnesses on board
- Cardassian ship -> Cardie crew keeps insisting there are 5 party lights
- Dominion ship -> Crew is DOA, they reclaim their life at party
- Zdenia -> Baritone Obisek sings
- Enterprise no bloody A, B, C, D, E or F -> Star Trekkin' in a loop
- Trendy's ship -> Ship gets bacon shipment
- Worf -> "I am not a merry man!"
...The conclusion: If ya wanna get easy on keyboard bashing get the purple quality jetpack, but the green quality will be ok too...
Agreed. I remember last year, trying out the Rental Floaters and thinking they were terrible. I upgraded to the Standard Floaters as quickly as I could and found those a wise investment at their 50 Lohlunat Favor price. I did get an Enhanced Floater for one toon and it was better, but not worth 500 favors (ie they weren't even close to 10 times better), so I didn't bother getting any more of them.
However, my main character bought a Superior Floater, and while I wouldn't feel right recommending anyone pay 1,000 Favors for one, it really was far superior in every fashion, having exceptional acceleration, speed, and maneuverability.
To put it another way, The Standards were acceptable and got the job done with no complaints. I got good at using them, no chore at all. The Superior Floater was fun! I quite enjoyed swooping down to my destination, cutting off the engines, scanning, and zipping quickly away to the next stop. It literally could fly circles around the other floaters. I'm looking forward to flying it again. :cool:
Another thing for the flight-challenged, don't forget to get (and regularly use!) a Lohlunat Tribble. Their speed/inertia buff is significant and helpful.
Awww! I got all excited about rainbow weapons that make party sounds when fired for nothing.

I found that maneuvering any floater by using the mouse holding the left and right made for a much better experience.
The nice thing is that I won't have to buy a new floater this year, though the surfboards are gonna be the focus now. I got a superior for all 4 of my characters and I'm not looking back.
I'm surprised they don't have a queued event like the Gingerbread town this year, but considering all they've got I supposed they didn't have the time for something like that.
"Rise like Lions after slumber, In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew, Which in sleep had fallen on you-Ye are many they are few"
It's covered in them, you can just only see it at the wrists. There's only so much you can do with reskinning the muagtu.
Oh, yah. I get it. I didn't mean to say it was bad work, maybe just a bad sample picture. In other words, the feathers don't really seem to stand out in that picture as one might expect of them for things called "feather monkey pets", but as you say, there's only so much you can do with a reskin.
It's quite possible they will look more feather-y in-game.
Either way, they look neat/cute, is all I'm sayin'.
:P
You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.
Seems its going to be a nice event.
And the Cruiser looks cool.
Altho I dunno, I would love to be able to take off and "land" that thing like an old hydroplane
Or at least to sail it lol
1) Emergency Power to Party... does this share a global cooldown with other Emergency Power abilities? I suppose current cooldowns allow you to jet around alternating Emergency Power to Engines and Emergency Power to Party screaming "WOOOOOO!!!"... never mind, I'll be fine. [EDIT] Erm, moment of genius there... the ability comes from doffs, so it's either a proc or a bonus to Emergency Power abilities, in all likelihood. That actually makes it even better: we can run around with an Emergency Power to Weapons/Engines AND Party!
If only for the humor value, I love this doff. And to those that eventually ask to nerf Emergency Power to Party... we will fight for our new doff!
2) I'm surprised nobody referenced Castles Made of Sand... whatever, I win the "Let Jimi Take Over" accolade. No, I didn't mean it like that, Captain Banana Hammock. And keep your parenting advice to yourself. Though, are there any plans to introduce The Todd as a playable race, so the Federation can have its own scantily clad species? Oh man, the whole Risian Swimsuit controversy is going to be funny.
3) Speaking of which, our swimwear only applies on Risa, like the old Floaters? I guess what happens on Risa, stays on Risa, yes?
4) Since I'm sure there are already several U.S.S. Minnow Corvettes flying about, I hereby lay claim to the I.K.S. Three Hour Tour designation for my upcoming Luxury Cruiser. Actually, here's hoping it doesn't turn like a Vo'quv and actually justify that designation...
With each passing day I wonder if I stepped into an alternate reality. The Cubs win the world series. Donald Trump is President. Britain leaves the EU. STO gets a dedicated PvP season. Engineers are "out of control" in STO.
I'm outraged! That's discriminative towards men. Female characters get usual bikinis as per Massively's pics, males should get a CANON gold speedo! (Not sure myself if I mean this or if I'm joking, probably both at once.) And I hate shorts.
Well, despite me hating apes and primates overall, that 'feather monkey' isn't looking that bad.

And Smirk, please use the blogs to post nice pics as well, not just the minimalistic little 600x200 'icons'.
Why did I suddenly get a fear of people making their characters fat and wearing speedos.
Frankly I can't really oppose them on this one. Wearing Speedos is boldly going where no man should ever go! :eek:
I don't know a woman who approves of speedos. At least outside of a strip club.
Besides I doubt Cryptic wants to deal with moose knuckle issues.

What can I say? Myself, I do wear speedos for swimming and was very much looking forward to using it on my male chars. And I'm growing fearful about the presence/absence of single piece woman swimsuits like Jadzia wore on Risa.

I want to know how many work-hours you put into making the swimsuits less useful?
Bummer. Guess I'll just not buy them.

Now I REALLY can't see one fightin a Borg cube.....
Do the sails unfurl and let loose a gigantic blast of thaleron radiation, thus killing everything a light year infront of it?
Does it have a death sail sequence ? (crosses fingers)
