My Youtube channel containing STO videos.
Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
Will there be a rerun of AoY?
How many new missions are there?
How many of the new missions will be playable by our existing toons?
THANKS
PS - I need a holographic Lorca BOFF
You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.
I dont see why not.. kind of "half fraction"..
Damn you CBS and your obsession with Star Trek's Days of Future's Past rather than its future. Oh well at least we're about to get Picard back.
And apparently this is all for starters, as they plan on rolling out ongoing AoD content. I enjoyed Agents of Yesterday and I have five Temporal Agents that are among my primary characters in this game. I have no idea whether the Discovery-era toons will be considered a new faction, but do hope that this is the case. Now, if only they would say whether a Kelpien option will be a part of the character creation?
Part of me dreads that the game will now have parts of ST:D in it, since there are things ST:D got so wrong. Another part of me though actually likes other parts of ST:D so I do look forward to them being in game.
And while a recruitment event does seem likely, I can't help but wonder exactly what will happen with it. If we get a brand new recruitment event, that'll be the second (new) one this year and that might lead to burnout for some folks. If we get a rerun of the Temporal Recruitment event, which would be the second rerun this year, that could definitely work as well. But for some folks who are maxed out on character slots, that would mean they would not be able to make a new AoD character since new character slots are only given out for first run recruitment events. Unless of course an exception were made this time.
And obviously, if there is no recruitment event at all, some folks maxed on characters would again not be able to make a new AoD character and run the new low level/tutorial content.
Overall, I'm looking forward to AoD, but only just barely. The great thing though with STO is, it's not ST:D. While there is a lot of hate for ST:D, STO doesn't need to focus on ST:D exclusively, only the setting. Hopefully that'll be enough of a buffer.

The Final Front - AHHHHHH! KLINGONS!

Seeing as how Starfleet was more diverse in Discovery than what was shown in TOS... we might get more than just the TOS races.
Of all the things that's wrong with Discovery, why have a problem with Burnham?
It's pretty obvious that there will be a time displacement plot device. Be it a mycelial network accident or whatever they choose.
I am concerned however that STO will now also be looking backwards, instead of moving forward. I had hoped to see an episode dealing with the Galactic Union sometime soon. Or episodes that have us make peace with the Voth and Undine, establishing formal relations and visiting their planets/space and so on. Things that matter in 'our' time instead of a conflict centuries ago that we already know was ended peacefully in the end. Another war with the Klingons just doesn't sound that interesting to me, we've been over that countless times.
The content itself, if @somtaawkhar 's summary is accurate, sounds interesting though. I'd definitely like to visit Pahvo in-game. And yes, what @Captainwells said: I hope we can create Kelpiens. And please give them an interesting trait, not just a passive boost that you don't really experience. (As I've said before: the trait of the Caitians with their increased jump heigth is what makes a species interesting imo.)

She's a boring character. All the cool characters are the secondary people.
Lorca was played well by Isaacs, he played the viper perfectly.

If I remember one of those videos that AmbassadorKael made with Al (I'm bad with names....), Al was interested in a question that asked if AoY recruitment could be run concurrently with AoD recruitment so people who didn't like AoD could still make AoY characters instead.
I'm personally planning to make a AoD Saurian (esp. based on the second season pics that were released, and if regular Saurians can get an option to look like an AoD Saurian like how the Gorn can look like a snoozleberry, I mean a TOS Gorn after playing through the tutorial in AoY) and swap out a regular Vulcan of mine.
If AoY recruitment was going to be reactivated during this time, I'll finally make the Tellerite that I was going to make when AoY last ran.

Despite what some 'fans' may say, they do not own the IP, CBS has said repeatedly Discovery takes place in the Prime Universe. Visual differences aside, which some folk just can't get past, there will be a rational explanation for the hairless Klingons (seriously, just add hair and you get your TNG era Klingon!)
