    Sp, everyone's idea of celebration for Stat Trek's 50th anniversary is for Cryptic to give stuff away for free. How narrow minded and selfish.

    I am hoping for some sort of FE either dealing with the very first episode of Star Trek or TMP movie...maybe Vger comes back

    Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.

    Khan,

    Now that is a great idea.

    if Khan can re integrate from being exploded and made into a planet then there's nothing we can do to him

    Well to be fair, Cryptic does often celebrate things in such a way. Just look at what they are doing now with the ENT stuff.

    They'll probably give feds a freebie and ignore KDF... again.

    well you have a point there, lets have an event where you can do loads of fun things but never get any rewards, no ships, no uniform, no dilithium and not even any energy credits, sounds like the best thing they could do for Star Trek's 50th anniversary.

    count me in.

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

    how about a 80% discount on a C-store Items for one hour. The exact time the Pilot aired on the west coast, 50 years ago.

    That struck me as a pretty nice idea, until I realised that in all likelyhood most of the playerbase would miss a one hour sale; and then complain greatly. Not good press. Still, a longer sale starting then might be fitting.

    You still pretend STO is like what the advertising text on the box suggests, hm? pig-2.gif​​

    It should be something TOS, like a set of TOS ships at T5 or better with the proper bridges. Or maybe the TOS style transporter effects, tricorder effects and other missing items.

    But CBS and Cryptic seem to hate TOS, so it won't happen. As a result I couldn't care less what they do.

    I am not sure why you think they don't like TOS.
    We have a few TOS missions in the game. Full TOS costumes. The TOS Connie with full interior. TOS phasers. Sure the transporter and tricorder effects would be nice. This game is set several hundred years in the future. I see why they wouldn't allow a T5 or T6 Connie.

    All those came with release or shortly thereafter. The T5 connie has been stated to be off limits again and again. The last few years have seen nothing.

    It seems that CBS a bit after launch determined that TOS was undermining its new stuff and called a halt. If one can't do better than the past, one can at least forbid it.

    Wait, who said Rebirth?
  • thenoname711thenoname711 Member Posts: 204 Arc User
    Epic new mission + new minigame so you can grind it 25 days for another shipcard in admiralty system. And maybe a giveaway. I am expecting nothing more.

    From what we are too there will never be an endgame or endgame adjacent Connie. Star Trek is more than just TOS, it's the movies, TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT. They have to pull from all those to please everybody.

    The timeline falls apart and we're plunged into the Abramsverse. On the plus side, we all get to beat up NuKirk until he stops smirking.

    I would be too busy hitting on the way hotter Caitian chicks

    If they had actually equally pulled from all those I wouldn't be unhappy. But restricting TOS to T1 is a flat out and out insult.

    Caitian? I thought they were from the planet Kosplai.

    But they did pull from them. We got a whole story line with DS9 and that region of space. All of last season was spent in the Delta Quadrant. There have been a few elements pulled from ENT. Q is from TNG...hell even Nimbus 3 is from Star Trek 5.

    Why should a ship that is over 100 years old be comparible to ships being built now? If a war breaks out can the US send a few wooden ships to fight with the same abilities as a modern destroyer?

    Tomorrow a Romulan can go buy a T6 ship with a skin that's even older than the Connie. You really think the point you attempted has any bearing on the subject you tried to apply it?

    I'm amazed anyone can attempt that with a straight face in this of all games.
