The last mission reveals the mirror you and I was like "Oh shoit! the Emporer is me!" only to find out it is not.

I DID like that surprise curveball at the end though, the TARGET of the raid on Jupiter Station. THAT was a shock.
well Star Trek Legacy is now well and truly canon to STO
I don't see how that can be said. We got a connection back to TMP. I don't see anything that can connect to Legacy.
I also wonder how this works for Discovery captains, since Tilly said she killed the Terran counterpart after the captain was killed.
And my main character, which is a virtual me, is an Al-Eurian, one of Guinan's race, I DOUBT the Terran Empire, which are extremely xenophobic, would CONSIDER, much less ALLOW, a non human to be on the throne. I'm surprised Kumarki was amongst them.
But yea... everything we have points to the Emperor actually being male. Who they are... is still a mystery.
That's what I wanna know too. There's gotta be some special dialog between a DSC Captain and Mirror Tilly after what she said back when we first met her over Pahvo.
Well... they let Leeta in as a Captain, and later an Admiral. It seems that the xenophobia is not quite as rampant as it was in the 23rd Century. If you prove yourself worthy of a command, either by merit, assassination, or some other method, the Empire will recognize that. Now if your crew will listen to you... that's another story. Probably gotta scare them or earn their respect, and that would be harder for a non human. Kumaaarke must have scared loyalty into her crew. She's rather... trigger happy.
And my main is a female Trill so... she must have done something to not only earn her rank, but title as well.
I'm wondering if Tilly tried to use something mycelial to kill the DSC character, only to have a similar situation happen to the Fed DSC like when J'ula tried to fire her weapon. Instead of death, catapulted through time. Effect at the time would appear to be death and thus... out of sight, out of mind. But I can see some potential in more banter in the future if they keep that in mind.
It was literally mentioned multiple times, by various characters, that she tried it with a spoon.
Spoons are not mycelial.

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?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"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!"
The only thing I’m mildly disappointed about is that our mirror counterpart is commanding the ISS Defiant and we didn’t get a mirror version of our ship.
Tilly probably lied to be fair, it’s unlikely a spoon could do that kind of damage where you have to replace your voicebox.
Well depends on how the spoon was used, snap the head of a metallic spoon and stab someone in their throat with it and it could do enough damage, or sharpen the edge of said spoon.
Just because it was spoon doesn't have to mean it was an unmodified spoon, Tilly probably told it in a way that would make your death seem the most embarrassing.
It's probably an Agony Spoon, with extra spikes. Maybe even... a spork!
For the record, the species is El-Aurian.
This, the story and cinematography are great.. the game play absolutely sucks.
This mission is about as much fun as a colonoscopy. I am so sick of missions where I have to play someone other then my own character or fly a crappy cryptic designed ship.
Enough already!
I'm glad for this new mission myself, I enjoyed it immensely, and will be running it on all my chars, one char a day for my daily update to the event. That should get me my new ship easy!
Also, did people really think mirror us was the Emperor? I never got that impression at the end of Firewall
But why?
EDIT: In fact, I just went in-game to see if it's possible to do a no-rifle run and it is in fact very easy without dying once, even with a sci PC who has the worst abilities of the three careers (the agonizer brain scramble that kills your target too fast so they can't damage others efficiently and the agonizer chain that has awful targeting).
jk, of course.
But yeah, I definitely agree the rifle sucks and the allied NPCs are horrible outside of strong damage (when they deign to shoot), like usual.
Of course not.. no.
(not having a "cooldown reduced to nothing" build, I'm not used to playing piano on the ability keys. So I don't always pay the best attention to them. I used the one tac ability mixed in with shooting, but it was mostly shooting. Of course, I also don't have a "melt the enemy without thought" build, so the shooting didn't seem too terribly weak compared to normal ground gameplay. /shrug?)
No, the entire game is like that now; kit spam is the order of the day - your weapon is only for looking pretty and completing set bonuses (if any).
You can thank Mudd's Time Device and Cryptic's refusal to fix it for that.
