    Yeah please ! Let's do this ! We don't have enough of playing the same old things over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.....

    We need more ! More of doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.....

    What we actually need is more new content. Not reasons to play the same old TRIBBLE time and time again. We just had that ridiculous Delta event that forced us to play everything again and now you want more ?

    Same there is not a poll to this one :expressionless:

    Considering they recently did a Delta Recruit event that saw many Vets making new Alts, this would be a good idea for Vets and newer players alike.

    What would be really great would be if they ever did the free daily lobi they once did, but fat chance of that happening.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    I doubt it would be obligatory, so you may do something so revolutionary like... I don't know... not re-play them? Problem solved!

    For newbies or those who missed something, it'd be great.

    It's been almost 1 and a half years since we had this event. I'd really love to get the Shard of Possibilities, Ophidian Cane and special Reman & Breen boffs on some not so old characters.

    Yes, I'd like to grab these for my DR toons as well. + 1 to this idea.

    I'd love to see more content come more quickly, but since Cryptic seems intent on the 'one new mission a month' model (for which I imagine they have some pretty solid reasons, actually), re-implementing periodic FE re-runs would be a relatively painless way for them to add more value to old content while we wait for the new stuff.

    +1 to the FE rerun suggestion.

    Featured Episode Reruns is what Cryptic did if they didn't actually have new content for us.

    But the Iconian War has contained regular content releases. So I think we are not going to see reruns all that soon.

    Also, with the changes to this year's summer event, it might be that Cryptic's stance on offering time-limited content again might have changed.

    Well if they aren't ever going to do them again then can they just make the special items accessible any time? Problem solved and no free lobi...

    This is my guess as well. At best, perhaps they will eventually allow people who already have those special items/Boffs to acquire them for their alts, in a similar manner to the event ships, but I'm gonna assume that such a thing is probably a very low priority for them.

    And yeah, actual newcomers are a bit out of luck, I'm afraid.

    Agreed. And while they're at it, how about returning featured project reruns to the fleet holdings?

    The Devs already said the they want more exclusivity in items that were earned during a particular event. For example the old Risian summer ships. If they don't give us another re-run, I hope that they implement a system that allows for my alts to attain those re-run items, similar to the summer and winters ships account reward unlocks.

    Actually Dust to Dust too. This way we can get the Kobali outfit. They pulled a fast one on that dropping one of the weekly rewards when it went off FE.

    Many of my Delta recruits need these items. What is the point of using the Deltas if they to have the choices of All the items of the game.

    Yes, I think they should rerun some of the old FEs. Like someone else said, they're not obligatory, so being snarky and all was just....dumb. Actually, none of the FEs are obligatory. If you don't want to play them now, play them later when they're just storyline eps.

    Me? I'd like them to bring back Sphere of Influence as a FE. I'd like to get that carrier on a few more alts. Or Step Between Stars so I can get a Dyson sci destroyer.

    Oh, and the missions where you get the Breen and Reman BOFFs.

    Obelisk Carrier is available from a T1 Spire (note, must be in a fleet with a T1 Spire and ship provision to purchase). Advanced (fleet level) Obelisk is a Lobi ship.

    DSD is in the "event ship reclamation" tab (available to any & all alts) as long as you completed the task during the appropriate event.

    Part and parcel for requesting the FE Replay is so that "Cutting the Cord" and the last mission of the Breen arc will allow one to "acquire" the Breen & Reman BOffs...
    Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

    Yes, it is fun watching one of my Boffs use the Orphidian Cane to lift one of the giant Tyrannosauri at the end of the Dyson Ground Zone.

    Need the four special items on all four of my Delta Recruits. But the suggestion of adding them back in to the FEs normally is spot on. If they are Unique items and one per character only who cares if they are there. Those that already have it can't get another, those that threw it away can replace it, etc. Especially if they don't want to do reruns and give away their precious Lobi.

    I seem to remember someone official saying somewhere that they planned to do it again only without the lobi. I

    The last runs were October 31 2013 to Dec 5

    Then May 16 to 27 2014

    I guess we didn't get the Fall 2014 run due to delta rising nor the May 2015 due to Delta recruits.

    We should have had it now leading up to season 11. Would they do it to coincide with season 11? Seems unlikely :(

    Aye, if they are concerned about the free lobi they could simply make the rewards permanent instead of a featured episode re-run.
