    Since when did the republic switch back to using I.R.W.? Or for that matter...naming their flagship after Sela's?​​

    #LegalizeAwoo

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

    "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"

    Look forward to seeing Azure Nebula Rescue remastered. It's a fun and challenging TFO.

    Kael has been replaced by his Terra-2 Mirror self. Ban this version.

    So who's Tholain, and why are they in trouble? New Tholian Boff? Name of the current Tholian Queen? /s

    Also, the second line feels like it's missing an "Earn" before "Progress towards a free ship".

    I do find it hilarious you corrected the dates (May originally listed with 35 days), but still kept the Tholain misspelling.

    Yeah, I think the news this time has been kinda overshadowed by the sheer number of typos.

    Ambassador, I'm sure you're a great guy. But please, as one writer to another--learn to proofread. This is honestly embarrassing.

    I certainly hope that the new console does not have some over the top FX effect, but it looks like it would be perfect for my Recluse build.

    Thank you to everyone involved in the redesigns for the TFOs.

    I'm looking forward to other TFOs getting some graphical, etc. love :)

    Just to clarify:
    Promo Ships and Lockbox ships are for one character, but T6 C-Store ships are for the whole account? The wording on the announcement is, well... fuzzy.

    Is it not ironic that this event starts on Star Wars day?

    Looking forward to more content as always.

    You are correct. Cryptic tries to stay true to their name and is really reluctant to spell things out clearly, always have been.

    Does this mean you guys have finally fixed the Azure Nebula: rescue ships not respawning bug?
    I mean it's been broken for a long, long time and you haven't fixed it, I hope you have otherwise I foresee tons and tons of angry threads!

    We get it there's typos. Put down the flamethrowers and move on.

    I.R.W. Leahval
    I figure you mean the R.R.W. Lleiset? Last we saw the Leahval, it was being towed (captured/rescued) by the Iconians at the end of "Cutting the Cord"...

    These are 2 of my favourite TFO's to play and I look forward to playing this event.

    What's even funnier is...it's not even his mistake, because he doesn't write the blogs - he just posts them...so there's someone else at Cryptic that doesn't even know a major lore element of their own game.​​

    Thing for me is now that I've been back a year actively playing since only casually playing since DR came out the rewards for the campaign are kind of not anything I would actually want. Typos are not a big deal I would take great content to play and not care if its filled with typos. However I know part of my dilemma is from being a long time veteran player even with the high dilithium exchange rate I've pretty much gotten every single ship I could ever want now. Just a few Legendary ones I don't have that I want and then on top of all that 30+ characters all in upgraded epic gear I've accumulated many many many epic tokens as for the ultra rare those experimental upgrades were a nice thing to spend those on but the epic nothing to spend those on. So basically the campaign I'm basically just doing for the fun of it to play but those rewards aren't really anything I can use. However it seems like the whole Legendary ship aspect is like something that is just meant to be held over our heads but what they don't seem to understand that even after I would get those I would still be playing this game and the only thing that would deter me is another big foul up like DR was. Overall besides all that I will be excited for the rework that has been done to the TFO's which ironically is worth more to me than lockbox or promo ships lol.

    True, especially since it is not the "NuTrek" content which is the same subgenre as Star Wars, it is based on the older shows which are a different subgenre entirely.

    The irony here is that someone could take all the content from this game and make it a universal Star Trek series like they have made this game and it would still be way better than any of the new stuff. The way I look at it is before they started making new stuff Cryptic had to stretch out all the old content as much as possible to keep the game going. Now their job is to take garbage with a Star Trek label on it and turn it into something that works for it being Star Trek. All we are missing is an episode with Burnham, Worf, and Martok and then Worf and Martok both look over at her and say in unison don't even think about crying now.

    Guy's that whole thing about putting down the flamethrowers wasn't a suggestion. We get it, there's typos and yall don't like it. They've been made aware of the typos. Now move on and stick to the rest of the stuff with the blog.

    I think it is Lvl 10 after you've completed tutorial chosen faction Fed aligned KDF aligned etc but will ask @darkbladejk @rattler2 to clarify.
