Star Trek's 50th

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
Well, Star Trek's 50th is only 4 days away (at the time of this post). Do you think we'll get a new mission or event from the developers to celebrate that very important date to all of us?

Personally, if they did something that enabled the player to visit all eras of Trek in a single mission, temporal enemies or no, that would be fun. I know there is a mission that has us bouncing around the timeline. But, one with TOS, TNG, DS9, VGR, ENT, and/or Kelvin Timeline, would be fun.

Your thoughts?

    Most likely, we will see the T1 TOS Connie being given away to all players to celebrate the 50th Anniversary (as a consolation for not getting the T6 TOS Connie).

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    While I like your idea OP I am not expecting much if anything at all. Releasing the T6 connie in the promo gamble box has turned me off from caring about what Crytpic is going to release in the future. I will continue to enjoy what I already have in game. They will release a dev blog on the 50th anniversary and that is all that I expect to see.

    Rumor has it that They are going live with the console versions sometime in the next week or so...

    That may be Their big Thing.

    So basically something most of the current playerbase doesn't relly give a TRIBBLE about.

    You just got a 15% bonus on Zen purchases. Wasn't that enough?! What else do you expect? Another 10% price reduction on those 2 million dilithium costumes? Don't be so greedy! :p

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

    All I expect is a dev blog saying "Happy 50th Star Trek!"

    I know it sounds pessimistic, but the way I see it if I don't expect anything I won't be disappointed if Cryptic does something uncool, or doesn't do anything at all. And if Cryptic does anything even remotely player-friendly, it will be a pleasant surprise.

    Got my bases covered. :)

    STO is a game. Something I do for entertainment. Cryptic is part of Perfect World International. A game company which is in this business for profit. I really do not expect anything from either of them, regardless of the significance of the date.

    So the big anniversary event is something that doesn't apply to any existing players ... Cryptic just keeps uping their trolling ...

    We are getting nothing. It was said, in a blog or something, that the devs consider the AOY expansionitself to be the 50th celebration.

    All I could find was the following quotes which proves that while the Agents of Yesterday expansion is the main way that Cryptic is celebrating the 50th Anniversary, they will have other methods.

    From the Kelvin Admiral's Uniform Giveaway
    This year marks the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, and we’ll be celebrating the occasion in a number of ways!

    One of those ways involves the arrival of new content inspired by the recently rebooted Star Trek film franchise. There will be new “Kelvin Timeline” starships, consoles, traits, officers, training manuals, gear, and uniforms! Best of all, one of those uniforms will be given to all players for free: the Kelvin Admiral’s Uniform.

    From Agents of Yesterday Announcement
    There isn’t a better way to continue to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series than by creating a Starfleet captain and engaging in some amazing adventures in that classic period.

    From Agents of Yesterday now available
    To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek, the crew of Star Trek Online could not be prouder to announce our third expansion - Agents of Yesterday - is now live! Prepare your classic Original Series tunics and dust off your Mark II phasers; you’re about to take an away mission to an amazing adventure in that classic 60’s era. Our expansion is full of amazing features to bring you a complete and classic experience here in Star Trek Online.

  • waldotrekwaldotrek Member Posts: 319 Arc User
    I'll jump in and say we get a YouTube video of all the voice actors (including Star Trek TV talent) thanking us and wishing us another 50yrs of Trek. And then we will cry from it's awesomeness.

    I'll be disappointed if i'm not disappointed with whatever token gesture we get.

    However i'll freely admit to being surprised if we get anything more fancy as they do (very, very rarely) pull one out of the bag and catch us all off guard.

    I have to agree with this. They don't give anything away for free anymore. I can't wait to see the rage from players on the 8th.

    I think you will be disappointed anyways....

    To be completely honest I'm expecting that too. Lol.

    I guess I'm starting to get pessimistic about my pessimistic views... Hmm.

    I need a cup of tea. :(

    "This Tranya, I hope you relish it as much as I" - Balok

    You get a free bottle of Tranya, a Balok doff, and a T6 Mini-Fesarius.....oh and a combat M113 creature.

    Or not.

    You'll get the M113 creature, it's based on me drunk on Romulan Ale with a mop on my head. Trendy took the photo when I was passed out on the hood of Taco's car.​​

    Was that before or after waking up, face down in a pool of your own vomit?
