    The risian corvette was available as a new project to start this year, as was the chell grett last winter event, i see no practical reason to lock anyone out of them, remember brand new players would rage quit if they found out they couldn't get what us long term players have gotten in past events ( dont TRIBBLE of the new guys just yet ).

    I am just hoping the alt friendly change has stayed. Running everyday on 15 toons is a bit much :(

    Still waiting to be able to use forum titles

    I ran the last Anni event on 32 characters.

    Yes, it is a teensy bit too much. :(

    You have to either literally grab the first or second flag to have enough tags for that day. If you get the third flag or finish flag you will have to run in it again because you wont receive enough tags for that day.

    Now maybe they will change it this year so the reward is good for that days tags no matter what you place but I doubt it.

    Could we get a confirmation as to whether this will be like the Summer event? (If you already have ship, it will only be 1 additional race per toon). Hope it is.

    I always get panic attacks for these events,.. although I enjoy them a lot .. I always think of the characters I haven't created yet that are not going to get the stuff I grind for this year and I have to wait a whole year until next, ...

    Funny thing, with good timing (playing all days with the 20 hour cooldown, providing there are no delays or maintenance) you can only get 1960 pictures of Q, and ships cost 1000 each, I don't know if they did that just by pure chance of if they are just trolling, but it's not funny.

    Edit: I'm not sure if I'm missing one extra replay, so It might be possible to get those 2000 pictures with extreme timing.

    I haven't really played STO in a couple months, but I've always loved Q's Winter Wonderland. I look forward to coming back to play.

    :)

    You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.

    Same here. That's why I create every character I can ahead of time.

    45 characters and counting.

    Q is the most handsome boss I've ever known. And he smells like kittens and puppies playing in glitter.

    Plus I hear he has a new staff member in the Winter Event?

    Can you spot him?

    If you log in with your toons (assuming you have the Plesh Brek and the Chel Grett on them), you will get a notice that you have unlocked an account wide discount for your other toons, so it'll be like the summer event.

    The next voice actor you need to hire is John de Lancie since Q is involved in so many events and we can have his Q instead of his son. He can voice himself in a remake of that mission you took down as well.

    Run it on two (or three) different characters one to unlock this year's and the others for the previous ones if you don't already have it on any of your characters. If you did get one or both in the past just 40 for each ship for the characters who don't have it. If you are looking to get ready for next year run 1000 extra on a character (above what you need to claim any current or previous ships) and you are ready for next year. Each other character should also get 40 extra for next year the boom on day one you are all set. At least that's how it worked in the Sumner Event.

    What I did for the Summer on eight characters was
    1080
    1080
    1080
    120
    120
    120
    120
    120

    All eight got the Corvette and Crusier and all are set for next year.

    Exactly! If they don't offer that as a skin and the ship isn't the Sarr Thein, then I will not be bothering with the grind this year.

    Sadly, it is the Sarr Theln. I just seriously hope the devs chose to keep the original design as an alternate skin. Had a unique, but still very Breen-made look about it :(

    This new one just looks like a fat Chel Grett.
