I'm starting to hyperventilate here a bit. I just know I'll be tempted to do this on all toons but I also know it's going to be time gated like mirror. I may cry blood by the end of two weeks
Especially since this queue probably takes even longer to complete than Mirror Invasion. I'm gonna restrict myself to three or four characters, no more.
Well, last time I tried playing this my ship and internet was very inadequate for the mission. However, now I have better ships/equipment and internet I should be able to complete it. There's just the one problem and that is my computer (mac).
God, I want to do this for most of my characters (deltas) but Time is my biggest enemy.

I'm going to see how long it takes to do all 27 this weekend. Mirror took 12 hours on 25 toons.

Holy Cheese and Rice, sir. You are out of your mind, and I salute you! If I even attempted that, I'd be divorced faster than you can say "Captain Kirk kicked a Klingon clear to Khitomer"
This is a nice change of pace from Crystalline for this event. It will take longer though. I'm guessing 15-20 minutes per character. I think so I'll go for sanity and just do 3.

"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
Will completing this project on one character allow the admiralty card to be reclaimed on alts? Or will we have to run this project on all of our alts?
No, based on every other queue event of the last year.
Like I said above, it would be nice to at least be able to get the shiny on alts (without the dil or marks) for just 1 run. But that's just a wish, they aren't offering that project.
Oh, ok. Think I'm gonna pass on this event then. Too much time required to run this mission 12 times a day and I already have 60+ ships on all my toons. Thanks for the info though. :-)

The old Breach didn't have any timers that forced you to wait. The only timers it had were fail timers. IE hurry up or die.
Is this what's going to happen now? You're just going to slowly remove more STFs and turn them into events to make them feel more "special", instead of actually coming up with a unique and actually fun event we could do? And our reward is a trading card instead of something worthwhile? You must really want us to spend LESS time in our ships and more time just doing Doff Assignments and Admiralty. As usual, Cryptic being the lazy and pathetic developers they are. The only remote good thing about this is that it isn't the "Lets all go AFK" Mirror Incursion event!
This could well be the first event I can't be bothered to do. I've already slumped to just doing new content when it came up like FE but I look at this and just don't see the fun in doing it. Admiralty I could probably get by with in-click-out but this feels like a chore with a card that's used in a grind system. I'm more interested in how much lockboxes are keeping the game float and when the whales will move on to other pastures.
I didn't much care for the mission before it was axed, I really don't want to have to do it 12 times* a day for two weeks for an Admirality ship.
I'm seriously considering passing on this event. It's not like I need the dilithium anyway.
Edit: Perhaps I can muster through it on my main, and pray that Cryptic decides to eventually make these kind of rewards account unlocks... Yeah, I can do that.
Same here, don't need the dilithium and all that work for a card....
Time they bring back NWS !!!
This was by far the most epic of the events STO has ever come up with and I'm excited to see the changes. The event reward is also amazing! Commanding a Voth city ship will be quite the ego boost to my Starfleet Captain.
It's just an admiralty ship... not an actual ship... unless, sarcasm, of course.
The card collector in me is very much feeling down now since I won't get the beautiful V.S.S. Tanius admiralty card. I'd have to run it on all chars and that'd just kill me...

Darn it - i almost got kicked from my house by parents for doing last Mirror Invasion on all 16 toons last time, now next grind...
Well, i will try to get it on all 16 characters, but... the devs really should turn events like this to item reward as account unlock, and only dill and marks on each toon separate...
The account wide thing should be addressed. If not account wide maybe a reduced number of runs needed to unlock the card on alts. It is a ship card after all. Time and Tide you only needed to run it once to get it as a mission reward.
Pretty sure the Tanius is a Citadel Dreadnought, not a city ship. The Citadel is still about 5km long - way too huge to be a playable ship.

Very cool news. The Breach was always a fun mission and I was sad it got taken away, but at least it'll be coming back every so often now I hope.
Plus that admiralty card is a nice prize, doesn't always have to be some OP weapon to be good!
I'll try it, but I won't bother trying to do it on more than 1-2 characters. I've never queued for the old version, so this will at least be a fresh experience.
If it works out, I will be happy that they're expanding events to more queues.

*I know I can do it on just a few characters instead of all of them, but missing the reward on a few characters and having it on others would bother me more than just not getting it.
Edit: Perhaps I can muster through it on my main, and pray that Cryptic decides to eventually make these kind of rewards account unlocks... Yeah, I can do that.
Some of us altoholics would certainly love these event rewards to be account-unlocks, similar to the summer, winter and anniversary ships. I don't think that's going to happen, though.

These grinds are getting old fast. Frankly, this week it seems we've gotten hit with every trick in the book they have to keep player interest up. Bonus XP, doff promotion, new admirality grind, and Voth event.

All alts, including future ones.
... Except future alts can't do the event at all because they won't be around for the event itself.

Only ran this queue a couple of times when it first came out. I look forward to seeing how it is now that it's been revamped.
Also, glad to see I'm not the only (altaholic) person who looks at this and thinks "Sweet, an awesome new thing that all my alts can enjoy!" followed closely by, "Oh, yeah. I'd have to run this on all my alts to unlock it."
While *I* may have no life, being glued to a computer monitor for 12+ hours playing the same mission over and over is not my idea of fun. I'll give it a shot on a couple alts, but no way is there even enough time in the day for me to do it on ALL of them. At least without allowing some time for personal hygiene, eating and sleep.
Now I have to figure out which alts I want to get it on.
Please Cryptic, allow these types of items to be account unlocks. It'd also be nice if this were retroactive, but I'd settle for getting it set up so from now on it would be an account unlock.
I'll still run it on a couple alts to get some Dil & marks but for me the main draw to this is the special item.
Hello. My name is iamynaught and I am an altaholic.

If it works out, I will be happy that they're expanding events to more queues.
It was long and painful, so much more than the Mirror Event queue. I'm afraid of what we'll encounter tomorrow. These "per toon" events need to end, except for the CC one. It's the only alt firendly one of the bunch.

That said... madame Lizzard? Erm.

^ This, so much!!!
There's not even enough incentive to do it on one character, let alone several, just for an admiralty card.

Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
Can the reward peetty pweez be account wide???
Peetty pweez!

And the 50K dil is the main draw for me.
