    doubtful it was a gimmick to drum up metrics after DR launch. Most likely wont see anything like it until another expansion

    If I was Cryptic, I would hold off on it until the next expansion. Also if i was Cryptic, I would hold off on the next expansion until the Star Trek 50th anniversary in September.

    If you have a Delta Recruit there is an added bit of content in the revamped Orb episode where you download data and recover the orb that is only avaliable for a delta recruit toon. So I don't think they are completly done with Delta recruits.

    Delta Recruit Event! I still remember how it fizzled in its last phase when everybody said "F-You" when the event wanted us to replay the Dominion story arc. Ooooh the hilarity of that part of the event :D

    I still have no idea why that was such a problem for everyone. Sure they aren't the most interesting episodes, but they weren't hard. (And no, the ground portion of the last one is only hard if you ignore all the optional objectives and try to run through all the mobs, agroing them all.)

    because they were tedious and uninteresting

    the recruit programme was a small increase in xp and skill points, its main aim was for you to collect clues and objects on the iconians but none of it meant a damn as none of it was used during the iconian storyline, as almost as if it was quietly swept under the rug and forgotten, the only thing that carried over was some additional interaction with the temporal agent being a DR and nothing more then that.

    if cryptic plan another such thing, they should incoperate some of the objectives into the storyline so recruits of whatever in the future can get a sense of closure on the subject.

    It's because we had just played every single episode with our delta recruits. It was way too soon to ask us to replay them.

    Right, and it wasn't just the Cardassian episodes, it was replay of any episode up through the Breen arc. But, as you said, it was the same episodes that we'd done the first time just four weeks earlier on the very same characters for that bonus. Between how close in time that was and how terribly episode replays pay out, that was probably the weekly goal that was the least-popular.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they did a similar event in the future, but not at the moment.

    I don't see why some players are so eager to have a rerun of the delta event, sure it was a bit of fun at the time mainly because it was something that had never been done before but to play it again so soon after the last time no thanks.
    maybe if 4 or 5 years time I might feel differently.

    of course many are assuming the account rewards will be changed I guess but I wonder if you would be so keen if it were to turn out that all the rewards were the same and you could not claim them again if you had claimed them the first time round.

    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.
