Only four species options, no new ground queue? Oof...
No new ground queue. What's up with that? Ever since that mission "Temporal Front" I thought they'd make great enemies to hand a large can of whoop-a$$ to on the ground.
Everybody knows that space queues are just something to pass the time with while your favourite ground queues are in cool down.
Species options... ain't touching that.
Alien
Might be the reason they are working on mine trap...
Ok im mad im mean wth cryptic the ToS gorn get MK2 Rocks? and what the fed captains only get a pointy stick? not even a banana or a raspberry to defend themselves with?

Charged Particle Burst now drains 200% the amount of shields that it used to, and additionally leaves a lingering debuff on affected foes that causes their Shields to take additional damage for several seconds.
Is this a chance to return to the Tachyon Beam Charged Particle Burst Tri-Cobalt Bomber?
Star Trek Online Advancement: You start with lowbie gear, you end with Lobi gear.
So now that you are getting ready to do maintenance will free online players be able to access agents of Yesterday, I have been getting emails telling me about the new episodes but every time I try to find it I can not, and can I start a new character in that time frame or will I have to use one of my older characters?
After reading the patch notes i'm a bit disappointed and baffled...
I know they didn't show non human aliens in TOS but the TOS/KT Movies clearly show Alien crewmen.
So why can't we create Alien Characters?

The expansion isn't meant to feel like the TOS films (which released decades after the end of the show and have two very distinct looks-and-feels, neither of which is anything like the show); it's meant to feel like the show.
So only one question why not able to start a Caitian Captain for AOY? They were already members of the Federation at that time, and shown a member of the bridge crew in the Animated Series.
Animated series is non-canon. Caitians are introduced in the 4th film and there are Saurians and Rigelians too, introduced in the first film.
Trill were also part of the federation at the time. Crurzon Dax was a federation ambassador during the 23rd century and knew several character from TOS and met McCoy, before he became a doctor, on Earth when it was Emony Dax.

The last official definition of what is canon did include TAS. But TAS is not TOS.
The thing to understand is that the expansion is really devoted only to the original series. The Animiated series and the movies are not included, even if they have included the TOS cast.
This is pretty much an artistic choice, and you can like or dislike it, but the decisions on what went into the TOS faction are all based on this premise.

Wasn't TAS removed from canon few years after its release?
then put back in again a few years ago (and "yesteryear" has always been held to be canon)
Everywhere I look, people are screaming about how bad Cryptic is.
What's my position?
That people should know what they're screaming about!

I assume these issues are now fixed since they no longer appear on the "known issues" list?
- The Assignments to recruit Romulan Bridge officers do not appear
- Selecting “Ready Starship” in the ship selector is not moving slotted items over to the ship for some players.

What are you talking about? It's always been Rock - Paper - Scissors, and everyone knows that the Rock needed to be Nerf.
So, counting all the missions on Tribble plus these two new missions that makes a total of 10 new missions in AoY and two PvE Battles, correct?
I'm getting 11 episodes, unless you're not including The Taurean Affair, since it's the tutorial.
The Taurean Affair
In the Shadow of Cestus
Painful Omens
Return to Babel
Tangled Webs
Battle of Caleb IV
The Core of the Matter
Vorgon Conclusions
Terminal Expanse
Temporal Reckoning
Ragnarok
Not a lot, but I'll reserve judgement on that until I see how expansive and ambitious they are, and whether that ambition was executed well.
This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

animated series was never cannon according to Gene that is one reason, the other is we never saw them in ToS and we only have the species that were seen in the series.

Everyone get access to AoY when it launches after maintenance and you will have one free character slot so you will not have to delete a character unless you choose to.

That's one small expansion. Not even half the size at all of the other two before it

Waiting for it to start so I can start patching.
