I'm ready.
To be fair, I hardly use event ships. I always collect them, but usually they go unused. The sci ship wasn't too bad, it's just that I already have many sci ships.
The Sci ship isn't bad on it's own. But the Trait and console are great haves for other Science builds. Similarly nobody flies the Risian Corvette except for doing Tour the Galaxy. But it comes with the best Experimental Weapon in game.
Lots of EYE candy on the beach my friend!
Honestly... the Summer grind is... I wouldn't even call it a grind. Its pretty relaxed.
Well, to be honest, I'm at a point where I have so many consoles and traits to choose from that few things are useful additions anymore. And when they are, it means something else I've either spent money on or devoted time to obtain it is rendered useless. And I've been in this situation for a while now.
If the ship has a nice design, I might be interested in flying it so that's what I'm curious about. If the ship itself doesn't look good, it'll probably not be used at all.
Word on the grapevine is that it might be the Farpoint Saucer, which was going to be the winter event ship but the Eisenberg took that. So we may be getting something canon.
Closer to the event yes.
Y'know, after looking at the predatory mess that is Diablo Immoral (oops forgot a "t") I find I have no real issues with STO's fairly mundane and actually moderately fun approach of simply giving you 1 or 2 things to do every day. Giving you a reason to login. I'm find with that. It isn't blasting me in the face with a price list. Between Endeavors and Events they vary up the dallies enough that it doesn't feel quite like the endless repetitive grinds of most MMO's. And most can be done in a few minutes of simple Pew Pew gameplay.
Just made a new Delta recruit, and styled them Terran.... and I am really liking it.
One thing is, my account-wide supply of Lohunat favors was drastically low... my new Detal recruit Terran needs a bathing suit very appropriate to their perspective
Like with the Winter Event, I actually liked the map better when the environment was more pristine and the map less busy.
Also curious.
For the Risian ships T6 versions for science, corvette and cruiser have been released. So the only remaining classes would be the carrier and/or dreadnought. But neither one feels like it would fit in with the relaxed vibe for the summer event.
Similarly for the Ferengi designs, larger than the nandi or science based does not fit in with the summer event vibe.
The vorlon vorgon ships have a full package already with a heavy escort, carrier and dreadnought.
The discovery designs from 23c and 32c have been monetized by now so unlikely that route will be taken.
Which leads me to believe that either an Orion or Andorian design is possible.
if this ship had not been added already then this could have been a contender:

To be honest anything bigger then a cruiser doesn't really fit Risa as it's been depicted in both Canon or STO, the cruiser you can excuse as converted passenger liner but that wouldn't really work for a Battleship, Carrier or a Dreadnought. Armed merchant ships tended to be not that powerful.
Also Risa is depicted either being a UFP system or at very least a UFP protectorate with very close ties to UFP so there's not really a need for them to have strong war fleet ready, since most likely should Risa be attacked Starfleet would come to their aid (not mention there might already be Starfleet or KDF ships in orbit as is).
Oh, don't get me wrong - I can see why you think the event becomes less fun over time. I certainly agree.
I'm just playing it myself out of habit.
Just saying that, in my opinion, the map itself looked better when it was less busy.

It is truly the pinacle of our journey as Star Fleet Captains that we now get to join with these gentle sentient giants to reach out and explore the beauty of the cosmos...
Now could one of you all give me a hand bolting on these full batteries of Heavy Phaser Cannons, plus these here obscenely illegal torpedos we stole from the Undine. Oh and maybe a genesis bomb launcher! We gotta see how quickly this thing will vaporize a Borg Cube!
Remember the Starfleet Code "It's not actually evil if we do it!"
Ooooo.
