Seriously, how do you equate Risa, jungle, beach, and ocean to lets have baseball! How about more swimwear options? New island themed events and gear? Some sort of ancient jungle temple que for people to run? Nope, heres nothing new, but some baseball stuff. Another wasted event...

I quite like the baseball theme, it's not really been done before and has some deep roots in DS9.
I lost interest in the baseball uniforms last time when I read they couldn't be used on boffs and you can't wear the hats with regular starfleet uniforms. If they change those two details I'll get them all, but until then no thanks.

Yep, I really wish Cryptic would let us enjoy our own fun and remove both boff and off duty restrictions from the tailor. In fact all restrictions including color palette.
Except (I suppose) not allowing Feds to wear KDF uniforms and vice versa, but even that doesn't harm anyone and could make sense for role playing -- if your captain is a mercenary flying a salvaged Starfleet ship, it could make sense to have your crew wearing spikes and capes.

Florida is a huge baseball hotbed in the US. Major talent producers in the baseball world include Cuba, The Dominican Republic, Colombia, Venezuela, Curacao, Puerto Rico and on and on and on. So yes, jungles, beach and ocean DO make me think of baseball. Maybe you just don't know anything about baseball?
When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.
I think the OP got it right, but that's just me. I rather hate the focus put on athletics in real life and think overpaid athletes are a waste of air. reduce them to a working wage and show them their opinions don't matter. and don't try to foist a baseball uniform on my glorious Romulan military attire

Uhhh, nobody on the DS9ers or Logicians or any other Star Trek baseball team is getting paid to play AFAIK. No real life baseball players or teams are referenced in STO. Sadly.
...and don't try to foist a baseball uniform on my glorious Romulan military attire
Here's something we can somewhat agree on. Let's get some slick new looking Nemesis and DS9 uniforms for Romulans! C-store, 1,000,000 dilithium purchase, lobi. I don't care how, just put it in the game.

Bread and circus....that's why they are paid so much, to keep the masses distracted, like the emperor with free bread, and games with gladiators killing each other and throwing Christians to the lions, as it were. Same thing today, keep the masses distracted.
I don't hate baseball but it's boring. We need more BIKINIS and Where is SOCCER? isn't that the most global and most popular sport in the world. We need more diversity and inclusiveness of other venues...same old same don't work much for anything year after year.

What's the one in DS9 where they wear the silly jumpsuits and play what looks like squash in a tiny room?
That looked a more interesting sport than baseball.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

Yes, I have to agree with that, why on Earth are we getting Baseball outfits in a summer event?! Every single MMO in the market makes themed costumes for this season, its ridiculous we get Baseball outfits. Its not even a popular sport around the World, not even the most popular sport in the US as far as I know.

swimwear is nice but they aready push what is concidered decent in some places. weould my captain wear a wicked weasel bikini? sure but there are some out there that would not like it as "too sexy" they had to go in another direction and they decided on the great american pasttime.
what i would love to see, and be a total bear to pull off programming wise, would be actual volleyball, either 5 on 5 or 2 on 2

Wicked Weasel, 80's Slingshot, One piece with French cut legs, all of them would fit well with the lore of Risa. Stick to the established lore I tell ya!

We are not only getting baseball outfits. Granted, no new summer/swim outfits this event, but there's a lot of summer themed clothing available. As for the latter part, I don't have a citable source on the popularity of sports in the 25th century, Baseball has apparently lost a lot of ground, but as has been said, it is canon to exist and more "fleshed out" in the ST universe than any other sport.

Make it PvP event where you can kill other players then.
Also, that makes Worf's 'Death to the opposition' joke in DS9 far darker than it should otherwise be.

That would be awesome! Soccer is my favorite sport followed by basketball and baseball and I think this would be hilarious!
