    Did I miss something that important?

    Yup, check the tailor. Klingons (KDF) can use both Kelvin and 23c facial features if a FED character has completed the AOY starter missions (although Kelvin forehead might be available from default now.) 23c uniforms are also unlocked in this way too (KDF players never had to buy them.) Kelvin uniforms: lobi store.

    If you play a TOS Fed, you can unlock TOS Klingon and Gorn parts for KDF.

    Actually I think the Kelvin forehead (not sure about the piercings) are just available at the tailor (like Kelvin tattoos for Romulans.) I've used it for FED boffs. ;)

    #AgeofDiscovery will be launching on PC on October 9th

    Are the changes in the Episode List also showing up in the requirement list for Delta Recruits awards ?

    Kael's confirmed that any recruitment task tied to an episode that's being completely pulled will auto-complete.

    3 days to go and we can't play it on test? At least check out the first mission?

    Too many potential spoilers. Just play it when it launches

    Considering it's the missions are taking place before the Second Season, they wouldn't have to worry about us spoiling anything.... ;)

    AoD starts tomorrow but we have heard nothing about a Ship-Bundle like we had for the AoY and ViL Eypansions. thats kinda weird. Was hoping for some Discovery ships in the Store.

    And i am hoping that releasing AoD after jsut 1 seasonisn't a mistake because if they really change the look of the Show to be more TOS we could end up with ships that look totally different, maybe even a Discovery refit with round nacelles and STO would have an outdated model

    I find it extremely difficult to beleive that there won't be any T6 Discovery-era ships for players, and their new characters, to progress to.

    Like all the T6 ships that were available to Jem'hadar players? The selection of discovery era ships that come out of the TV series is so sparse that they had to re-use one of them for the new starter ship, having already released it as one of the three recognizable ships from discovery in the discovery lockbox.

    Who knows? Maybe there are a bunch of new ships in season 2 that CBS gave them a look at. I'm not holding my breath, though.

    Cryptic has plenty to work with, the question is simply how many they were able to produce after ViL's expansion-level ship bundle, plus four interstitial ships, and what the release scheme's going to be. One might assume one big pack but Cryptic has been talking up a more regular cycle of content drops so they might opt to emulate the last two c-store releases and go with smaller scale but shoter intervals. We'll just have to see (pretty much: in any blogs that come out this week.)

    We only have the Walker class and the Crossfield class so far.

    That's not quite true...

    We know that the Malachowski Class is going to the be starter ship in AoD, and one of the recent story posts showed what could be an in-game version of the Nimitz Class - so that's at least four ships on the Federation side. The Malachowski Class was visible at Battle of the Binary Stars, Eagle Moss clearly haven't got round to it yet, which is why it's not in the graphic. Include the new look version of the Constitution Class and that gives Cryptic a total of nine Federation ships to play with - seven of which are not (quite) in the game.

    The Klingon Ship of the Dead and the two-person Raptors are already in-game, and it seems clear that we will be seeing the era specific version of the Bird of Prey - so that's at least three ships on the Klingon side. (Yes, I know, you can ONLY make use of the Raptors if you have the Ship of the Dead, but they are in game!). At least seven different Klingon ship designs were seen in the first season of Discovery, so again Cryptic have plenty to play with. Again, the Eagle Moss graphic only shows the ships they have done, not all the ships that were seen.

    On top of that, we have the ISS Charon, a new Vulcan ship and the era specific Starfleet shuttle.

    People ask how long have I been playing STO - well the answer is simple: I have been here since the beginning. I just haven't always had a lot to say.

    Servers go down at 2pm in the UK, and come back up at 6:30pm in the UK - Timezones are fun ;)

    From what I read so far its all about feds not KDF. If so Please let us know as I won't have to waste my time on something that is going to be not very fun. As its all about the Feds not Kdf once again ( KDF ARMY )
    Klingons play a fairly large role in this, not sure what you are talking about.

    May the force be with you!!! Qapla!!

    I thought it was three but I could be wrong

    To begin with, and then they are going to add more content as time goes on, rather than dumping a shed load of new content and missions in one go. The Devs have stated in various places that this is just the beginning of what's coming for Age Of Discovery, more will come and a larger story will unfold :)

    Patch notes state a Tutorial, then two missions following on. So three is right :)

    it's actually 19:30 GMT unfortunately, there's no difference between utc and gmt as the british invented the concept of time and all timezones are based on gmt
  • kibi#8855 kibi Member Posts: 101 Arc User
    Britain is on DST now so according to the launcher it'll go down at 4pm and come back up around 8.30pm

    Oh. My. God.

    Seriously? What are they teaching kids in school these days. Even with the UK being on BST at the moment (or DST for the Yanks), this is easy to work out. Translating PDT to BST isn't hard: The UK is 8 hours ahead of West Coast of the USA - both the West Coast and the UK are on Summer Time, so the 8 hour time difference reamins. So if the Server downtime starts at 6am PDT add 8 hours to get the time in the UK... Sheesh

    I LIVE in the UK. Server went down at 2PM on the dot. Will be back up at 6:30PM (unless Cryptic extend it).

    Don't believe me? Here's the event timer: https://timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=PC+Maintenance&iso=20181009T06&p1=224&ah=4&am=30
