    I've rec'd the Weekend Event Voucher on one of my eight toons. Bugged......

    Apparently not. According to what I have heard, the voucher is once per day, per account, so getting it on one toon but not the others would support that.
    Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.

    Things I want in STO:

    1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
    2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
    3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
    4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
    5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
    6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
    7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
    8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!

    If you still have faith in the competence, intelligence and skill of your average STO player, please queue up for this weekend event and purge whatever is left.​​

    I'll be lining up with Zeus, as he's my powerhouse toon.

    Wanna see how long he lasts in an untimed event.

    Tried it once. First three or four waves were pretty easy, then died pretty much instantly on the one where you start blasting around the map at about Warp 700 for no apparent reason. Seriously, what was that supposed to be, anyway?

    ...I think I'll be playing this one exactly two more times.
  • mystarlite#1876 mystarlite Member Posts: 108 Arc User
    Oh i haven't been keeping track and just shooting things. Will try again and see how far i get. Thankies!

    I'm loving the audio from TWOK. *thumbs up*

    Glad they didn't restrict the enemies to Klingon ships. The Borg Cubes and Doomsday Machine made me laugh.

    One HUGE difference from NWS: The Kobayashi Maru moves. If you're going to drop the shield recharge sphere from the 8472 rep, for example, try to catch the little bugger right after it changes location.

    Some waves are just unforgivable, like the Tzenkethi ones. Even worse if the Maru happens to wander near their spawn points, you'll see its hull completely melt in less than 20 seconds.

    My first impression during my first match: How are narrow arc weapons, 90 degree and less (Torpedoes, some Cannons, or even long timer weapons like Mines), supposed to compete in this match?

    I really enjoy the ground version, I loved it right off the bat. The space queue, I'm not so sure. I'll certainly run it for the vouchers.

    Cool. I hadn't seen that mentioned in the official webpage for the event, so I wasn't sure.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Either that's a load of targ poo, or the devs missed the entire point of the Kobayashi Maru scenario.

    Today i got Doomsday Machine in one of the waves - that thing was immune to anything :#
    Lucky us the Maru did not fly into it's weapon arc... still did not manage to save it...

    I stopped looking at the right side panel after round 4 and got the voucher :D Thankies for the clarification!

    I'm wondering if we're expected to bring a Hargpengh and shoot it in the face.

    The Doomsday Machine is immune to all damage, but the Maru is immune to its damage as well.
    Reading all the briefing has its perks. :P

    Well, I thought the Kobayashi Maru test was about rescuing the crew of a DISABLED Federation freighter from the Klingon Neutral Zone. But that darn thing constantly moves around, always heading for the next group of enemies. :#

    Also it's not just Klingons we need to fight. Appearently the entire galaxy (and forces from Fluidic Space) has invaded the Neutral Zone determined to destroy that one little Federation freighter :D

    will that work on that one?

    Thank you for making this an account wide unlock! Between the Summer Event and now this. Running multiple characters in different things would have been a bit much.
  • shadowfirefly00shadowfirefly00 Member Posts: 1,026 Arc User
    will that work on that one?
    Actually a fair question, given that the ones encountered in 'The Core of the Matter' and 'Days of Doom' are (if I recall the briefing notes correctly) specifically modified by the Na'kuhl (how?) to eliminate that weakness.

    A quick question, can you only claim the weekend token provided by this event once per day, per account? I claimed it on one character, then ran the event on another character and only got dilithium and marks, no additional token for the second character? If so might i respectfully suggest when announcing the event it is stated, or in the description of the event it could be stated?

    The voucher cooldown is account wide. You can see by clicking on View Cooldowns in the PvE queue window.

    I just did this and a wave of Fed ships blew up the Kobayashi Maru and i didn't get any marks or the Weekend Event Voucher. So if we lose on the Fed wave we get nothing?
    I had that happen on wave 14. Are you sure it was your first run for the day?
