Since there is no in-game calendar anymore. Will it be safe to assume Winter Event 2020 will start next week since it is the start of December. Any guesses.
Whenever they start it I hope they leave it accessible for a couple of months this time. We need a beautiful and serene place like that to spend our time during covid isolation.

While it is true, the past two years have been a Tuesday, prior to that, it was always a Thursday. So, it doesn't *need* to be Tuesday. It's *likely* Tuesday, though.
Events have, occasionally, overlapped, too, so it could start as early as Dec 1. At the rate of things this year, we'll be lucky to have it by New Years, though.

I agree and hope for it too... but, too much is also no good, especially when they don't give more rewards for extended time.
Normal reward (1 ship) + 1 extra token (account wide) to unlock one (missed) ship from previous events, or lobbies (200-600) like last time... that would be nice.

hmm, I've been assuming the 3rd. I guess we'll see if it continues to be short like last year. Risa was more like 6 weeks than 4 this year. So maybe Q will be the same. If so it almost has to start on the 3rd.

Looking forward to it this year. Am usually a little indifferent about the Winter event - I enjoy it before Christmas but the appeal wears off (for me) post-Christmas.
However its been a lousy year in general, and lately we've had wall-to-wall TFO-based events in STO in particuar so it'll be nice to have this more 'fun' themed event back.
I just hope they don't do something stupid like run a TFO event over the top of the Winter Event. I know they normally don't.. but the way things have been this year, I am not sure sure.
Nah. It'll be a bit yet. The current event ends on the 3rd. Then I'd wager another red-alert week. Then, most likely, the winter event will kick off. I'm not wagering anything on this chain of events, but since they haven't even shown us the winter ship yet, it stands to reason that it's not ready to go.
Odds are you're gonna be right

If we get an announcement by today then theres a chance it could land 12/3 however, I would be incline to beleave its 12/8.
Normally events are announced 7 days in advance not typically last minute 3 days before.
And the 8th is what day of the week? A Tuesday!! Tuesday is the preferred day of the week for new releases and major Events (not necessarily the Featured TFO Events, etc.). It gives them Thursday to clean up any potential mess.

> @keepcalmchiveon said: > id wager the details were true at the time. this time frame for the winter event is not out of line nor delayed really.
IIRC the pandemic and work from home order caysed delays on completing Summer Event Reward ship and thus caused a delay for the event itself, while there was no such delay for the Winter Event as a) the design for the Winter ship was locked b) the pandemic had been around long enough that there was no "how do we do this now" phase slowing things down.

That was my assumption as well.
I am expecting an announcement on the Winter Event very soon.. probably Tuesday or Wednesday of the coming week.

Now is winter and guess they might be late?
I do hope they have some great NEW events rather than copy and paste. Either way it's always a welcomed event no matter what.

only 31 days. Hopefully, that means only 20 dailies required to earn the ship instead of 25.

We could write emails to PW and ask to extend the event! ;-)
