    Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

    I really enjoy battle zones usually, so I am looking forward to this one.

    As long as they don't award Tier Rewards based on DPS, this would be nice.

    Looks good, especially considering the Tzenkethi's unique play style...sounds like fun.

    Fascinating that it's gonna be a Lukari Restoration Initiative as the rep. Hearkens back to the New Romulus Reputation. So we'll be defending our new allies it appears.

    Yawn. Would have been a lot more fun if it was a ground battlezone

    Yeah. I like ground BZs better but I like BZs in general too so, I'm not too disappointed.

    So, two space queues and a space battlezone. Designing the look of the Tzenkenthi race seems less meaningful if we're going to spend most of the time looking at their spaceships.

    Also, are we invading Tzenkethi space? Hopefully the next episode will fill in some blanks...

    i like the idea of preventing them from building a weapon. in any event i've taken about 2 months off to visit Q and relax so I'm ready to get back into things.

    Metaphasic Shielding is a lame game mechanic.

    The rest of the stuff looks fun though so I'll pound my way through it.

    Love how we all have to assume that this comes in Season 12 since Cryptic didn't bother to put that fact in the blog! (other than it saying "Reckoning" in the first picture) Come on Cryptic, please put DATES on things! The first freaking sentence should start with... "Coming in Season 12". You've burned people before by not having dates on posts. Why is not dating things mandatory at this point for any post that goes up?
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    Given the wonderful work that went into modeling the Tzenkethi themselves...please tell me there will be a ground battlezone as well...

    Well at least there is a new battlezone now, I have already grown tired of the existing Undine and Terran battlezones.
    I stream on Twitch, look for Avoozl_

    Well, that was pretty obvious it comes with Season 12. It's about fighting Tzenkethi and yesterday we had a blog explaining Season 12 will introduce the Tzenkethi and the battlezone.

    Disappointed it's another space BZ and not a ground one.

    Yup, while I wasn't crazy about the Voth one due to some issues it had, it was a decent. I would hope Cryptic learned what not to do on that one and could make an even better ground BZ.

    Yeah, I would like to see such a unique ground model get more use than just a few missions you never repeat.

    There're at least two videos (1; 2) in the wild showing the battlezone off. While the mechanics for the Tzenkethi arrays are the same 'king of the hill' sort we've seen in the Undine (Federation rift device) and Terran (power stations), there's a twist: when capturing a point, you'll note that sometimes one of the defending Tzenkethi ships will go into an 'downed' state... when this happens, there's a window of opportunity to hack that ship's computer network for a bonus to capture progress. It's not clear whether or not this is a flat boost to progress, or an increase in the rate of progress, but it's worth taking advantage of when it crops up.

    At least this Space Battlezone looks like it is actually in space instead of being in a Dyson Sphere or in the middle of the Badlands.

    Overall I like how the battlezone looks, and it does have a interesting idea to it, as well as takes on the capture points concept. I still do hope we might see them give us later on in the expansion a new ground battle-zone, or might be a adventure-zone kinda like the Kobali prime zone, either of which could take place on their home world of Tzenkethi.
