    Nearly every attack, every clandestine operation, and every crisis that pushed the galaxy closer to war and instability has been orchestrated by a singular, ancient enemy - The Iconians.

    So Iconians' sig was right all along. :D

    Yep the whole Kobali Thing is basically just a subplot ... skipping it doesn't really hurt the overall flow of the Story ...


    This is correct. The only thing that the Kobali missions do is introduce players to the Kobali ground battle zone. If you skip it, you will miss nothing important. Kinda like a sad attempt at a side quest that was put into the main story chain.


    About season 10, I expect we will be seeing a new rep system most likely. Not sure about another CapSpec, since they are just adding more grind to an existing one. But, I am mainly interested in how this epidose will go.

    With past attempts at making enemies to fight, I don't look forward to smart enemies. I am expecting it to maybe introduce new enemies with new abilities that get mindlessly spammed. With Sela coming back, probably a lockbox that will offer the gamble to get a T6 Scimitar, but it will have a different skin and name on it. But it's stats would be what a T6 Scimitar would have been. And maybe a Commander Command/Inte hybrid station, and a Lt. Commander Command/Intel hybrid universal station. And increased stats of the Scimitar.

    I think whatever comes will be very entertaining to watch as more power creep comes.

    I'll tell you a little "secret". The most effort-effective way to level up is actually not playing.
    I have nine chars. Five are sixty. The other four are in the fifty-eight and fifty-nine. The main is actually over seventy and the other sixties are around sixty-five, sixty-seven. Some 60 to 70% - if not more - of this leveling was done by Doffing, not by playing.
    This is good because I can play for fun without having to worry about leveling.

    i expect sela to take into account what happened during her escape and what she did before this and the trial, which she will likely see as a sham as her "citizens" rebel around her, she will likely use the opportunity to spew lies and deception to rile the courtroom with tales, then i expect her to state that she knows more about the iconian plot then anyone else, that a part of the agreement for her to assist in taking out the iconians is her freedom and that she will have operational command of a fleet of allied ships, perversely on the Lleset as the overall commander rather then the ship commander. she will use the opportunity to gather all this information and pass it to the tal shiar and let them attack the core worlds of her enemies while the major fleets fight the iconians, after which she will escape and find her way home quickly to assume command of her larger empire, which includes the broken hull of the enterprise F and a charred vulcan.

    Gave this some though have you? :P

    I likey, Cryptic should take notes

    Hopefully in the end of the chaos, the Iconians will be finally defeated once and for all... in the next 3 maybe 5 other episodes. Anyways I can't wait to see if we're going to beat the TRIBBLE out of them.

    This is good. It will be a while before I get to finally see it. I'm sure she has something good to say off this.

    I find it hard to believe that our pitiful alpha quadrant races will be able to put up much of a fight with a species that has not built one or even two, but three Dyson Spheres. A single Iconian ship should require at least 10 starships maxed out just to take it down.

    ****SPOILERS*******

    The Borg are going to make peace with the Allience and become our Allies.

    The Dominion will also join since they cant defend the Gamma on their own.

    There is galactic peace and everyone is friends and you get more alien ships and bo's. Lock Boxes Galore!

    All future content will just be mini games and retreading old content as events as they milk money out of people for the next couple of years.

    SPOILERS

    We will face the Iconians and it will be revealed that it was all a plot by the Kobali to get more bodies. But the big twist will be that the supreme leader of the Kobali is a the temporal agent Tovan Kev!

    There all wrapped up in a bow. :D

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    Hush now... oh damn it Jim, it's in the Andromeda Galaxy and will be warped to the Iconia system by a new servitor species called "The Herald" to stage the all out invasion of our Galaxy.

    I just made that up. Or I didn't.

    Next time, you guys will think twice before using the destruction of Romulus and the Undine threat as pretexts for war and territory expansion. Karma is a Sela. :P

    The Iconians. Finally. The uber villains behind all trouble since the beginning.
    If STO was a TV Show, season 10 would be its ending season...

    Hopefully they are not going to spoil everything in advance again this time. Sela's face on the launcher, STO front page as well as numerous forum threads made it rather hard not to get spoiled about the surprising reappearence in the last featured episode.

    That being said I'm very curious how they are going to wrap it all up. How do we fight ships that can deactivate our ships in a blink of an eye, and how do we fight enemies that can vaporize us with a simple gesture?

    POWERRRRRRR CREEEEEEEEEP!

    They will have lockbox gamble ships, C-Store ships, Lobi ships, a new rep system, and knowing the way they have been going, we will most likely find the 1 Iconian that has morals and wants to join us.

    By the end, 5 players (that bought the new shiny) in a team will become more powerful than a whole army of them. Those that didn't buy the new shiny, or chase DPS this whole time will cause a failure, and be treated as the scum of the universe.

    Pretty much, the same way we have beaten every new enemy to the game so far. lol.
