    In terms of Janeway appearing, it's about time.

    I feel a little bad for Tim Russ. I hope Tuvok wasn't removed from every Voyager arc mission where he was commanding the ship.

    But yeah, nice that Kate Mulgrew is the second Star Trek franchise lead actress they've been able to get to do Voice Over in STO. She did a fair amount of Voice Over work for some other projects before and after Voyager, and maybe her work on Star Trek Prodigy made her more amenable to do work on STO.

    Either way, it's a neat and nice addition for the game.

    I am hoping to see warship voyager armed to the teeth. I hope at some point there is a patch that revamps the episode to put that model in. I mean it already exists so why not included it. I Just waiting for the patch update and was spoiled that my i don't get to see terran modified warship voyager but we still get janeway wbich is good.

    I think it would've been more convincing if Mirror Janeway only drank tea. Other than that, I loved the mission and wonder what the heck you're going to do with "the package" that was revealed.
    Epohh Vindaloo and beer milkshakes for everyone

    Huge thanks to Kate Mulgrew, Mary Wisemas, Chase Masterson, Kipleigh Brown, and everyone at Cryptic for such an enjoyable new episode.
    That new story mission was amazing and hearing the above 4 throughout was a joy.
    Thank you!

    Fantastic episode! Except for one thing...

    SPOILERS:
    You've been warned.

    I absolutely hated the turn at the end. I wanted to shiv Tilly about a dozen times the entire episode - and then suddenly be her ally at the end against Janeway was too much. All I can say is this better be a double-cross where Janeway set up the whole thing to trap Tilly to discredit her so the Emperor passionately supports publicly executing her.

    That said, I still want an option to shiv Tilly during any point in the mission though - I mean we are playing our evil selves, right? >:)

    Yeah, really outstanding episode. I sort of liked playing a wimpy character without my magic powers. It was balanced perfectly to use both terran abilities then pop a hypo before dying.

    double Janeway with double espresso. Yes Please!

    Things I would love to see. Protostar Bridge (it is awesome), holographic Janeway, The option to turn down the offered anniversary ship and get one of the earlier anniversary ships (anniversary ship of choice?) The ability to choose the uniform used by your ship crew when your in the interior of your ship (from the standard lists of uniforms you have unlocked) (have it set at the tailor of course).

    Since there's no Forum post about the Jarok Alliance Carrier that I can find, and there usually is, I feel I must offer some feedback on two points of the design.

    From the blog:
    The results of this particular design project - led primarily by Romulan Republic engineers - speak for themselves in terms of the role the ship is intended to play in the Alliance's fleets.

    Romulans are all about their Battle Cloaks and Singularity Cores, so why does this ship not have them?

    Thought it was the worst episode in the game from a gameplay point of view. For me it was in the top 1% from a story and top 1% with graphics design. Just a shame the gameplay is in the worst 1%. Badly balanced, tedious to play. Repeating the same voice command 20 times was frustrating. I know what to do the first 3 times yet along the next 18 shouts outs. Forcing us in a ship without the skills to use it was a terrble design move.

    Was nice to see Janeway in-game. Interested to find out who the Emperor is.

    If it turns out to be a man, my money is on Harry Kim, a descendant of Emperor Hoshi Sato who reclaims his place in the family dynasty. :o
