I'm surprised nobody has commented on the ship in the first image. The model looks like too much time has been put into it to not be a new ship. It also doesn't look like a 32c design or anything from the series/films that I recognize.
My first guess was some kind of new Command Frigate(Presidio vibes); second guess after examining it closer is.. maybe a T6 Nova(dunno if the upward pylons would fit with that saucer, but the protruding back of the hull, triangular saucer, and even the vesta-ish nacelles fit the Nova's design characteristics.). My only other guess would be a T6 Sabre, but the saucer is a pretty big departure(and I'm pretty sure the nacelles connect directly to the saucer on those ships).
As for the ground weapon.. it might be nice a nice alternative to the Elachi/Voth Pistol for people who want to go with a Deadspace/Plasma Cutter theme.

Because it already exists in the game, it's the Deimos Pilot Destroyer AKA the Synth ships that wrecked Mars.
If you're talking about the more Fed-designed ship in the second image, it's the Wallenberg-class tug ship, which appears in the TFO and was used with big attached transport modules to try and evacuate the Romulans.

Oh.. I guess I never paid that close attention during the mission.. That's both interesting and disappointing.
Unless they confirm for sure that they fixed the account unlock with the reward, this will be an easy skip.
The actual reward is lackluster and it doesn’t count toward the meta event. Last year, they offered this holo ship/rocket launcher as an account wide reward. We did the event only to find out that only the character that completed the event could unlock the reward.
Reports came in, tickets were made and Cryptic completely 100% ignored them. They never said a word and never fixed it which is very unlike Cryptic. They make mistakes sure, but they always acknowledge them and fix them. The fact that they wouldn’t even acknowledge it was puzzling. I am wondering if it was an issue they couldn’t fix, and if that’s the case then it will likely happen this year as well.
Unless they actually say something about it, I see no reason why I can’t use this as a chance for a 3 week break from STO. The rocket is kinda cool, but I don’t feel like doing this to get it on one single character.
Phew! At first I saw "synthwave" and had a mini panic. Fortunately, it's only one of the options. And it's by far the worst one.
I'm inclined to agree... thank God it's only an option. I think I'll traipse about on Earth...
Also, part of me admits to being one of those who complain about the AFKers in the rocket buildoff. Who doesn't like model rockets? Sure, it's repetitive, but what in this game isn't?

It's sort of pathetic, imo, how Cryptic lackadaisically handles these type of "minor" glitches with some persisting for a year plus.
I'm expecting the latest Q's Winter Wonderland manuals & modules that were pulled from the game shortly after the event to be given similar treatment. Then again, I stopped looking to see if Cryptic actually did a stealth re-insert of them a couple of patches back.
I'll concede though these type of "glitches" aren't game-breaking & won't be high on a Cryptic priority list but it's a sad indicator of the game's state when that's the rhetoric to expect for not fixing broken game aspects over & over again.
I am going to pass on the Synthwave TFO and the Borg ground mission, but I really like the rocket building competition, so I am looking forward to the First Contact Day event.
It's not 'First Contact Day', it's 'First Contact Fortnight and a Half'.

Completing either of these participating activities once per day, per account, will earn you a First Contact Day Badge Box. Opening this box will grant players the opportunity to choose between 17 Comm Badges as account-wide unlocks. Once unlocked, these immediately become accessible from any Tailor for any Federation character on your entire account.

Because F kdf, I guess.
Normally I'd agree with the sentiment that Cryptic seems to too easily dismiss anything for KDFs but in this particular case being First Contact Day I don't understand why one would expect Starfleet/Federation badges for KDF?
Maybe if some of the (17) badges are of cultures aligned to both would make sense or non-aligned that would be good.

I don't expect Starfleet/Federation badges for KDF. I expect a game's events and rewards to offer equity to its players, and not single out an entire faction.

I don't understand how you don't understand that.
Pretty simple for this event, KDF had absolutely zilch to do with First Contact Day. It's called context, perhaps the next event will be primarily focused on KDF, like a recent event was. To paraphrase, "how do you not understand that?".
The account unlock for last year's First Contact event has been fixed, the Toy Rocket and Phoenix Shuttle Hologram emitter are now reclaimable. I just did it and haven't even started the current First Contact event yet.

Technically we starting a bit early this year April 1st, though not April 5th.
Thought I'd share this for everyone to still enjoy, not my own YouTube edit yet still thought it was good, given the spirit and time of year. Especially for those who want to Rock and Roll like Cochrane.

Yes they are, I see them now from Events, Reclaim under Ground!
If anyone still going for melee kills on a klink recruit bozeman will net you in the region of 100 a run if you park the boffs out the way so you only have seven to contend with for kills. On PC at least.
Shelved my ps4 recruit because the batleth was released without any closer and longstanding issue with perma cloaking so haqven't checked them yet.

Since I got all the Badges early last year, my Klingon Recruit is grateful for the 150k XP Boosts.

That XP Boost is the only alternative. If it is the same as last year, each Character that runs the Rocket Build, once a day, can get one. I believe they are Bound to Account.

Ran boozeman on my ps4 klink recruit and discovered that cryptic STILL hasn't seen fit to apply the updated batleth that PC got weeks before it arrived, which itself has been weeks and a couple of patches ago by this time for consoles.

You are correct upon all three sentences.
