Cryptic needs to be more forthcoming about these Delta perks

With less than two weeks to go, and Cryptic has been pretty vague about what would make a Delta recruit so different compared to our "classic" characters that we have been playing for over the past half decade. It would be quite a lot of cost to create and level a whole new character in this game these days, and I haven't really been "sold" yet on whether it's worth the investment.

My whole take on the "Delta Recruit" characters is that once the event is over, they will revert to normal characters, but have something left over like a title. Kinda like how not everyone has the "Steam Powered" title or the "Shaka, when the walls fell" badge.
However... the chance to unlock an account wide perk by running a Delta Recruit? Why not? Its a break from the usual Endgame grind, AND get to dust off some old C-Store ships.

Everything the talk about the system right now serves to build anticipation.
The very fact you've gone to the extent of this thread, indicates that the ploy is indeed working... Despite your claims that you have not really been 'sold' on the idea, you're clearly intrigued enough to complain no more information is forth coming - their marketing tactics are working...
Frankly, the trait alone is worth the effort IMO...

That's about all I need to know.
Have no clue what is so important about rolling a new character. You can replay almost all the missions. Cryptic wants some data on new character progression in the 1 to 60 range?
I may sound doomy, but that would mean there are not many new players that are leveling.
They are giving everyone a free slot for this even so I see no reason not to at least login and make one.. you can worry about how much "work" you want to put into it at your leisure really.
Bear in mind that all of this communication gets released on a specific schedule, that they don't change unless they have to. Right now, they're teasing more Season 10 stuff and I get the impression there's still details they haven't talked about yet.
No need to push Warp 9... We'll still get there at Warp 6, just takes a little more patience.

Is this just going to be an event though? How long do we get to earn rewards on our recruits? What is there to stop us from deleting the character afterward?
Is this just a way for cryptic to fudge the metrics a little more to brag about all the new characters being made?
LOL, and I have it on good authority that the sun will rise in the morning... :P
Now, I hope your "source" meant that more information will come tomorrow.
Preparations? How about
-- More ships to buy (if you want to try a different school than your main has)
-- More essentials from Lobi store
-- More DOFFs to buy
-- More lockbox traits to buy
-- More manuals for training BOFFs
And expect the EC spammers to swarm like flies over this, with that increased demand for more EC.
It's a lot more expensive to get a new toon up to speed than when STO was on Season One.
Now lets just hope they bring a Q exp event in conjunction with it... so I don't have to grind DR patrols from 50 to 60.. or at least as much.
they wont give it up because you ask, they will give it up when they want to. when ever that will be i will be waiting all the same.
and yet you ignore the previous few years where cryptic have hyped up the community with apparently good things coming only to find out its that same wolf in sheeps clothing it has always been, the classic bait and switch. if you are that easily taken in by this dilithium thing, then cryptic sure do have it easy to be able to easily punch the community in the face, and everyone loves being punched in the face, right?
anyways, it probably wouldnt make any different to someone like yourself? but if i were in your position i would reconsider somewhat to a more watchful position then biting their bait at this time without knowing more about what to expect first.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
You are right but somehow this entire event sounds like something which is going to be rushed and falls from the sky as of sudden. So I dont hold much against them in that respect.
The main intention behind it seems to be to attract new players or long term returnees with the ambition to start over new.
All the possible goodies granted to those of us currently in game with our regular toons is just an also rushed out integration to upset the existing community not even further, and going them a reason to play more intense. If player numbers and new toon generation statistics would have worked in cryptics favour the past months we would not see such an event in the first place.
These seems to be interesting times in STO calling for interesting measures.
Server wide goals with server wide progression benefits! Just imagine what an impact that would have made with the actual release of DR. Very sad that peeps where called exploiters instead when they teamed up for fast progression back then.

It should've been in the first blog. Still waiting.
How conformist of you.
We are being realistic. We expect Cryptic to offer something shiny and attractive to the playerbase while nerfing other things. It's their classic pattern. Players are fed up with the lack of communication too on major game decisions and if you can't handle the complaining, some of which is justified, my advice is don't use these forums anymore.
Why do I get a feeling that if you were in a certain role, your answer would be "Yessir! How big a starship do you want, sir? Right away sir!"
Cryptic know how to hype. I tend to think they are pretty good at it. It's got all of you talking about it
I prefer patience personally, and to remember my own golden rule when it comes to any sort of promotion. Never believe the hype.
You can do all of this in two weeks, when the event begins. You are not suffering anything by waiting for the details.
