Summer Event 2016

jdfosterrocks · May 2016

Hello, any update to when the summer event starts this year? I'm currently/continually going to college and would like to have a heads up on my personal calendar. To this date, I haven't heard or read anything that even hints when this will/if occur.

rattler2 · May 2016

It will. Its an annual event. SHOULD be coming up right after the Crystaline Event ends.

I think I am going to miss it then. Going on holiday on a cruise to Rome around June for a week.

Open the in game calendar and turn the month to June. It doesn't say, but starting June 9th it has the 'string of lights' that the summer event has had in years past to signify the event. My guess is it'll run for at least 5 weeks, likely 6, and you'll need to run the daily grind for 25 of those 35-42 days. So between 10 and 17 days leeway, depending on just how long the event will last.

Not counting any server destroying hardware explosions or code eating bugs that could extend the event.

Thanks, I'll cross my fingers.

starcruiser · May 2016

In the past it was started during the first week of June...

2015: June 4th to July 15
2014: June 5th to July 17

I imagine perhaps on June 2nd or June 9th this year...my best guess. Where are those blogs and the new ship?

Probably coming next week.

I'm being nice and just editing this. Do not let me see you post leaks again or it won't just be an edit. ~Askray

evilmark444 · May 2016

Terran, as much as I disagreed with you on a topic of another thread, posting leaked or data mined information is a no no and banable, I advise you to edit that out before the mods find it.

rllaillieu · May 2016

@evilmark444 That's been on the internet for a few months now. We've known about this ship. Hell, me and a buddy had a recent discussion on how much rear we could kick with it. You must have been off the forums for a while, but the mods don't care. They know this was an accidental leak. It's public now.

evilmark444 · May 2016

No I've been here the whole time, never seen a pic posted directly to the forums though

bergins · May 2016

Yeah, no. It's still a leak, and the ToS specifically spells out that it isn't ok.

officerbatman81 · May 2016

I agree with @evilmark444 the posting of the pic seems inappropriate to me, it irrelevant what some might know, think, believe. I only heard some rumblings, and now the surprise is spoiled for me. Its spoiled now. Cant put the jack back into the box.

You should have really used a spoiler tag to hide it @terranempire#7881

@jodarkrider can you please orchestrate some damage control if this is a violation?

bergins · May 2016

@officerbatman81

Would it help unspoil it for you to know I'm still hoping that's gonna be a Promo/Lockbox ship, and they are gonna give us something that ties in with a ship or ships we've already seen associated with the Summer Event?

officerbatman81 · May 2016

Kinda

That ship does seem wrong for the occasion, i wish it was something more risianesque. Its actually ugly.....like the ship designers have a bet among themselves on who can make the uglyist ship. Someone always has to outdo the other it looks like.

smithdeck · May 2016

Waiting for Risa... Hope it's soon...

officerbatman81 · May 2016

The in-game calender has it scheduled June 9th, day after the CC event closes.

Actually, I think the devs were having a contest about who can create the worst looking Vorlon ship. Have to agree with more Risianesque ships. Except for the first Winter Event with the JHAS, the Winter ships have always been Breen ships. Of course, this was before the introduction of Autographs and hopefully, they will always be Breen ships or from some race that has a Winter theme. At least the Ferengi Nandi Warship hasa console which catches some rays to fit the Summer theme. I doubt the next Summer ship will fit the Summer theme that the other Summer Event ships have.

Also mentioned here http://priorityonepodcast.com/po271/ as it's stated above, straight after CC.

officerbatman81 · May 2016

Here is an idea....instead of a ship why not a shuttle?

A risan shuttle shaped like a hydroplane racing boat for example. With an awesome console you can use on any ship.

Then in winter make a breen snowmobile shuttle.

No.

solidshark214 · May 2016

Being as I find the Ferengi and Breen ships to be about equally hideous, I personally like this one better. I was going to skip the Summer Event, Admiralty System or no, but if it's going to be this and not another bass-ackwards Ferengi ship, I'm actually interested.

YES!!!!!!

askray · May 2016

Folks, it doesn't matter WHERE on the internet you find something, it's considered a leak if it's not made public by Cryptic or PWE.

I think some smallcraft could be cool. But then again they need to do more smallcraft missions too.

Aparently they don't understand that it was a simple question that I posted. Purpose was to see if summer event was this year or not. I'm sure the staff is busy with the console ui & many other things as they are running a business afterall. If something is longer than expected, it's a concern

Not naming anyone in particular, decided to hint leaks. Not a very wise thing to do. If the Official Representatives for STP wanted to say what is going to be the new awards or whatever they would tell us under the news.

Questions, Comments, Concerns: OK ----Slamming, Flaming, Spreading Confidential Information is NOT ok.

In short, it was just in case they forgot to post as in past years we've been told 2 weeks or more atleast some kind of hint before event starts. Just like the Mod said above, if it's not official, dont post it as you can get a TOS violation.

PS Questions I noticed that there is audio missing from a scene any one else noticed? thats ok
"" things like: this game sucks (Which it doesn't, I love this game) when are they going to fix this or that is NOT OK.

jdfosterrocks · May 2016

Oh and predictions are ok. Just think of it as a job, if you know its wrong, dont do it, plain and simple.

jim625 · May 2016

I'd love to do the summer event myself as well but I have no idea how to get the marks is there a single player race that I can enter on risa?

saber1973a · May 2016

It's not race - but it's timed mission - you need to do daily solo mission with jetpack (you can buy or rent it on Risa) - fly 3 of 4 proposed tracks and return to mission NPC to get 40 tokens. Once you get 1000 tokens you do Reputation Event Project to Account-unlock ship...

terranempire · May 2016

Sorry, didn't know I wasn't permitted to show a picture of the event ship or any links or name of said ship. In future I won't discuss anything not released by PWE. (FYI at least not on the forums)
