    The ship and the vanity shields look really nice! The HMS OXBoat will fly again!

    Wish there'd be more swimwear rather than baseball stuff tho. Baseball's not my thing at all. ;)

    No Captain Ben Sisko is a baseball superfan and pushed it for 7 years.

    Other than 2-3 episodes with a baseball theme over 7yrs of one of the series, Trek hasn't exactly been synonymous with baseball. And in the Zen diagram of Trek/Baseball interests, I would bet it's not a huge overlap. ;)

    The swimwear could use a quality pass. But honestly I'm not sure if we can get any more new styles over what we have.
    On the bright side... baseball hats?

    I admit something new would be nice like fishing or scuba diving. I mean just use floater mechanics regarding diving stuff.

    But I'll have to settle for using my floater again and getting some Summer BOFF abilities that would otherwise be hella expensive in the exchange. Not to mention Summer food items.

    Gotta admit, Egg White Burrito? That one is pretty out in left field pfft.

    Yep, and Picard pushed Fancing for 7 years but we don't have anything of that.
    Kirk and Spock pushed 3D chess for a total of 6 years (3 each) but we can't get our 3D Chess stuff either.
    Baseball is likely the popular sport for the American players, but where does that leave the rest of the world?
    Additionally, are Denobulans as good at Baseball as they are at Basketball?

    Don't forget gorns in bikinis.

    Gorns in Mankinis, you mean. :p

    On a side note: I found it a little bit misleading that the article makes a comment about tribbles right before an image of someone throwing a baseball. I was kinda hoping for some tribble baseball. :)

    Please don't do audio emotes, this is just asking to be abused by trolls.
    RE: the baseball uniforms - not interested so I guess that means less to grind this time :)

    Strange considering just how popular Baseball is in the caribbean region. Its one of the main regions outside the US with professional baseball franchises.

    Yes, it is popular. A lot of great players from the Caribbean played for the Blue Jays during their back-to-back wins when I was living in North York (now part of Toronto).

    But as Reyan01 mentioned, there's no baseball pitch/field/stadium in the Event Risa Zone. One should be set up, with NPC players from the different teams taking turns playing against each other.

    Part of a new event could to play baseball like the Winter Event's TFO against Winter Lord and the Abdominal Mugato, in terms of either a 'PvP' or 'PvE' functionality to it.

    Like the Implausibility Discoverse episode (with the nanofiber winter jacket), the player dons the uniform of the team they are assigned.

    If new teams are added like the Deneb V Slime Devils, then a new set of NPC baseball players and available teams are expanded.

    We could use some SCUBA gear for costume pieces. Surely Starfleet, etc. had equipment that would be more functional underwater than the extravehicular suits?

    Underwater enviroments would come in handy for future episodes set in water covered worlds, let alone recovery of a downed shuttle craft, life pods, etc. submerged in middle of deep lakes, bays, seas or even oceans.
  • captaincelestialcaptaincelestial Member Posts: 1,925 Arc User
    If we do get a second environment/zone to play in, please let it have a night time setting. I know that day/night transitions are borked for now, but this would be a nice alternative.

    Since they are doing vanity shields for summer event I wonder if they will do them for winter event also.

    The fun in the sun is returning on July 2nd, with an updated T6 Risian corvette, new space and ground emotes, new costumes and more!

    https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11190533

    Does the Tire 6 Risian corvette replace the current Risian corvette Tier 5 or will there be a second Admiralty Ship?
    Question 2: If these are two different ships, would it be possible allow for players to slot the older (T5) ship as a second project for Alt Charters? Or Also get the T5 Ship for free as part of getting the T6?

    Event ships are now account unlocks which can be reclaimed on all characters, they have been for years now.

    The new uniforms are nice but @ambassadorkael#6946 I have to say, you know which uniforms we REALLY need?

    You'll only be able to slot the current event ship (T6). The Phoenix Boxes have the T5 version.

    New T6 'Vette, awesome.

    New Vanity shields, sweet. Will they work on any ship or only the Risian ships, or even JUST the new T6 'Vette?

    New floaters and boards, they look nice but I won't bother.

    New food items, umm, who cares?

    More baseball uniforms, didn't bother last year, won't this year either. My BOff's can't wear them, no point in getting them.

    No new kit mods or training manuals? Bummer.

    No new swimsuits? I never cared for any of that stuff anyway (since BOff's can't wear them), but it was nice when there were new options.

    Same schedule for events as the last couple of years with the "good" events being on a 90 minute cycle? Probably done with bothering trying to Horgahn hunt. Which means no getting a lot of Lohlunats for stuff. Which considering there isn't much new worth bothering with, may not be that big a deal.

    And new audio emotes? Oh yeah, I don't see ANY issue with these. Seems like a natural extension of the Subspace Party Amplifier, and everyone loves those.

    I remember when I loved going to Risa. Then it became a grind. Now I just go for the ship. No DOff missions yet, no day/night cycle, I can't say I'm looking forward to it this year. I've been on a bit of a break from the game and I guess that will continue thru the summer, only logging in long enough to make progress towards the new ship.

    Which honestly, is enough.

    I dunno, the vacationing NPCs do have some choice swimwear. ;)

    Yeah, I wouldn't mind a "T6 Upgrade" on the original swimsuits - maybe give them more color zones like the later stuff, etc.


    I'll do the floater runs for the ship, but there's nothing interesting in the shops this year. (And still have piles of favors after not spending any on baseball last year, either. So no reason to do any of the events. Ah, well. :| )

    I am quite thankful for the devs releasing this ship in T6 form, also the new vanity shields is an awesome bonus. :)

    Ridiculous.

    Interest in this event = zero.

    If the Devs ever lived in Louisiana during the summer, they must be in serious denial. That much clothes with a heat index at 115 they'd be passing out.

    BTW, no thanks for baseball. I'm a nerd, not a jock.

    Again, when I think 'tropical paradise', Baseball is not something that springs to mind.
    Ever heard of baseball crazed tropical countries like Cuba, The Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago or Curaco? Not to mention Florida, one of the 3 top baseball player producing states in the US? I'm guessing no.

    Didn't you need to get the store unlocked during the event before you could buy stuff?
