This is why the winter event is my favourite - it's the most creative bit of STO that they have, and really speaks to me as a huge lover of Christmas and the associated traditions. They always think of something new, those eggheads at Cryptic...I wonder what the ship'll be, though. I'd still be happy with either a T6 Plesh Brekk or the Bleth Choas. Anything new, I'm sure I'll still like
We need something for Santa to get around the wide universe in. I'm thinking a T6 Santa Sleigh complete with assimilated reindeer. Rudolph can have an omni-directional AP Lance that fires from his nose!
all fine and dandy...but all i have to say is......Guys, Cryptic, by all rights, please make it possible again to queue up old event ships (during the events) changing it to this exclusivity nonsense was the worst decision back than ever...in my case, so far i got all the Event Ships, but this Summer, Real Life demanded more time, much more Time so i missed the Summer event, now that i came back to sto after being away for some time, seeing all those nice looking Vorgon Carrier flying around, and knowing that there is no way anymore to get that as a Account Wide Unlock, irks me terribly, so bad that i have a hard time enjoying the game at all. I am a Collector, and always made sure to get all the Event Ships, missing this one is annoying as hell, and seriously, you guys know very well that the only ones who want or like that exclusivity bla bla is YOU (Cryptic), the majority of the Playerbase does not want that, who would support this nonsense and why anyway? Iam not saying give it out for free, we still would have to grind for it during the events, just give us that Option back please!

Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them." -Thomas Marrone
It'd be hilarious (in a bad way) if the blog writer wrote that but the dev team had no intention of doing one. Now they'd all be like "WTF, man? Why'd you say that in the blog?! Now we gotta make one before the angry mobs come!"

That's just silly. Rudolph's nose can't possibly fire an omnidirectional beam. Since his nose is forward mounted, and a reindeer's head doesn't swivel around like an owl's, if the target were behind him, he'd vape himself! A beam array would be perfectly credible, however, perhaps with [PEN] X4, to cut through the heaviest fog.
But, you're right in that the sleigh should have an Omni weapon, too. Perhaps Santa could throw gift boxes in all directions. Festive red and green gift boxes containing plasma torpedoes. The green ones ordinary, the red ones are destabilized. After all, the elves (if not Santa himself) are Romulan. How else could they have pointed ears AND not be coldly logical? And please don't bring up Sybok; let's keep this serious.
Heck, make a 3-piece set, and include a console which gives the sleigh 130 power across the board...but only on December 24th and 25th!

Pff, get outta here. Goat legged demons are sexy
I also echo the demand for hooved legs in the tailor, for Tellarites and aliens! And science!

any chance this is a dry-run for the return of the Fekkies in ViL? asking for a friend
I like that mode of thinking. Hopefully Cryptic will follow that path & pursue using it if not already considered. I'd like to see an updated/expanded story-line of the Fek'lhri including an updated version of their ship(s).
Well the Kramp'Irhi I admit is original, not sure fighting Klingon Demon's is Christmas themed unless you mentally deranged, I think someone said Q was getting Dark.
Perhaps Q needs to see a Counselor?
Still every year I continue to pray and hope maybe we see a different event that involves something other than snow gun's to shoot things with.
Keep hoping maybe an Ice Skate race but every year it never comes. Speed Skating is in the Olympics and Q could make it challenging by having little snow borg or snowconians dropping honey on the track or trying to shoot us with giant snow canons to knock us off our skates.
Still looking forward possibly to Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday blogs not sure what days they be to announce possibly new rewards or the ship. Will have to stay tuned!

I think I'd love to see Jack Frost too... I certainly won't complain about Kramp'lrhi though as it's original! Not sure how I feel about the Klingon Demon's, but perhaps maybe Q will surprise us and we'll see some miniature versions wearing their Christmas Hats! That would certainly make it very interesting AngryTarg...

Not even just hooved. Just Digitigrade would be nice
I just realized that thing has hooves. And only two. Four legged creatures with hooves have trouble on ice, so a two-legged creature with hooves should have BIG problems on a frozen lake. Did you you Devs take that into consideration? Probally not. It's a Q creation, after all.

What about Mountain Goats (which are actually more closely related to antelopes than goats)? They commonly dwell above the treeline as far north as Alaska. Or the Alpine Ibex? IIRC, both of them have cloven hooves with padded soles, which act as natural snowshoes, and both species have less trouble on ice or nearly vertical surfaces than do humans.
BTW, your Sig is not only my favourite quote from M*A*S*H, but also wonderfully appropriate to this topic! Double kudos!
Is this being added or instead of the snowman fight with the giant snowman?
It is added! There will still be the queue, snowball fights, Tides of Ice, competitive racing, ice fishing, and fighting off a giant snowman with the Snow-Conian.
STO wants us to have a very merry demonic Christmas! Really? lol
This ain't Friday 13 nor Halloween. Who is the dope who thought about this idea? This is Christmas or light or life event not Dark or obscure holiday. There is a time for everything but this is the wrong time for this boss. Save it for Hearts and Minds or Halloween NOT Christmas.
These devs in Northern Ca really have gone bananas with this.

Q's quite dark this winter event, demons and all. I'm definitely curious how it'll turn out.
I'd be satisfied with a pair of visible legs and arms on my Reman which affects all outfits that have these exposed.

Sounds like fun! I think I'll join you this year.

Anyhow. Can't wait to mingle with the snow folks.
