    Off subject, but I was just curious whether or not you all were aware there's currently two different Klingon ship designs sharing the same 'Chargh' title? I know small potatos, I was just curious. Thanks.

    Is there any new tidbit of information you can share about the upcoming Halloween Seasonal Event?

    since the topic is also about the changes about the event system, in the future i am guessing the featured event will be the only one we will get apart from summer-winter, and the featured tokens will be the only currency,right? will all the events be 3 weeks long or shorter 10 days, 1 week or even 3 days are possible versions of it coming?

    Jarrod: We are looking at ways to vary the length of time and frequency of events. The streamlining we are doing also means having less different currencies for these events which is why we have phased out the tokens for the Crystalline, Mirror, and Breach events along with the Weekend event store tokens.

    The consolidation of all the various event currencies is totally understandable.

    Since the weekend events is going away, will the featured TFO events in the future also have sets?

    Jeremy: Entirely possible, and an idea that I'd like to explore. But a single event is not likely to have more than one reward, if we continue using the existing appointment structure

    In that case, Please make them Expeirmental Weapons. We need a lot more options.

    Kael: Only that it's unfortunately not on the cards right now. It was in preproduction when we mentioned it during the live stream, but things have changed. We do have plenty of other events that will run during the fall, but not this specific Halloween one, at least not this year.

    Jeremy: Not incredibly likely as it locks out all non-Escort ships from being able to use the item. We tend to create Event Rewards that everyone is capable of using.

    Ten minutes left, and then we run to Reddit!

    Clarification. I have items in the Weekend event store currently (i.e. Sompek shield and the Mirror Phaser Dual Pistol) that can be reclaimed by any toon on my account. Now with the change, does this mean a new toon I create will also be able to reclaim the item or will new toons going forward have to buy the items from the Prize packs?

    I would like a little clarification on something please. If a player has "already" earned all of the items from "every" weekend event, do they now lose free access to these items for all current characters and future characters on their account? In other words, will they now have to take a "chance" at getting these items from the phoenix boxes even though they have already earned them? Thanks in advance!

    Will there be a chance to earn additional "Weekend Event Vouchers" before this change comes into effect, so that players have a chance to earn all of the items? Thanks in advance!

    Seems like this Weekend Event Store close-out sale 1 token per item will allow more current players an opportunity to buy & have those items account-wide from the store. For that thanks. I don't envy any future players though lol.

    Allright, since the only question I can see remaining has already been answered earlier in the thread, we're gonna call it done and head to Reddit. :) Thanks, folks!
