I don't suppose with the Summer Event, that there might be a nice LTS sale coming up again would there? My wife thinks that would be an excellent Father's Day gift.
Okay so I have a quick question, Will there be New swimsuits/boards/jetpacks/outfits this Year? I really hope so! We could use a new selection to choose from especially if your toon doesn't match any of the current swimsuit selections
We're waiting to see what they say on Monday. I'm hoping so too, as it'll keep the cash flow going. They've already stated that there's new shirts available, though no word yet on if they can be worn with swimwear.
There is still at least one sacred cow as far as ships go.
To get an idea, check my sig or the FCT... :P
Cryptic has made this VERY clear countless times...DUE TO LICENSING RESTRICTIONS, THERE WILL BE NO T5 CONNIE OR NX. That, I assume, would also go for a T6 version, so killing that bird before it takes flight too.
Its amazing how many different currencies there are in game and now you choose to introduce new ones with each event. Not a step in the right direction IMO.
A little old lady in a print gingham dress, glasses, and a shock of white hair reaches righe over the bar of her walker catching trendies elbow in a grip that would do a Klingon credit.
It's funny they haven't released the blog yet really, considering it's stats have already been posted on the forums by several of us who found them on Tribble.
Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.
True alters don't have a "main". Account wide unlocks for all unique event rewards!!
No... but you sure as hell gave me something to ask for.
albeit I'm dubious of it being able to happen.
Depending on what you feel you can get away with, when we finally defeat her ([SPOILERS]Kahless must be avenged/rescued/recovered/whatever![/SPOILERS]) you could provide her headdress (sans head) or "armor" (sans corpse) with appropriately placed scoring or other damage indicative of the manner in which we finally manage to finish her.
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.

Hey, folks! Just wanted to pop in and mention one pretty important bit of info that was not included in the Dev Blog.
We have increased the number of Lohlunat Favors received for completing all of the Missions/Activities found on the Risa Summer Event map. The prizes have doubled or tripled for all of the following:
"Dance Party"
"Making Waves"
"Horga'hn Hunt"
"Castles in the Sand"
In addition to this increase in rewards, we've also reduced the Lobi Crystal price of the Lohlunat Favor Bundle from 5each, to 2each. They still include the same amount of Favors per package (10-30).
See you on Risa!

"Play smart!"
The prizes have doubled or tripled for all of the following
NICE! When you said increased I was thinking like a 50% increase would be most likely. But double or triple is fantastic! Thank you for this. It should make it much more fun, for me personally anyway. Psyched for Thursday now.

For total clothes horses like me who got burned out last year trying to get the costumes but just plain not having enough time for them all, this is good news.

Yeah same here. I'm a bit of a completionist and I like to get all the shinies for all of my toons and last year I got very burned out during the summer event and ended up not coming back until Delta Rising launched in November. I know it's not their fault that I have so many alts, but still I'm really glad to see them making this change as it'll also help players with just one character. Plus my spreadsheets will be pleased... yes, I'm sad and keep spreadsheets to help me keep track of my toons haha.

Nice. It's always nice to get more rewards for doing (hopefully) the same work.

What of the prices of the various items though? I have characters that need swimsuits. Granted now I only need one good floater now that I can't stockpile stuff, but hopefully this makes getting a powerboard easier
Let us upgrade the Seleya Ceremonial Lirpa and Kri'stak Blade

I can neither confirm or deny.
Can you confirm or deny a dismembered iconian arm ship trophy?
albeit I'm dubious of it being able to happen.
Well if you sever it at the joint, you have less risk of stress fractures.
Shhh! We don't mention "ship trophies" around the Romulans. They get grumpy.
"where the Blog?"
Dang kids, it's mondey, where the blog?

Can I get a link to these?
Here you go.

Heh.. I just found it here too just before you posted.
Haha yeah, I saw that myself after I'd taken the other screenshot already the other day.
