One look I've been wanting to see as either a standard off-duty attire or summer clothing: crop-top forward-tied under the bust blouses with daisy duke shorts (frayed threads). The crop-top blouse could be either full-sleeve, rolled up sleeves, short sleeved, or sleeveless.
Preferably for all maps and not just on Risa.
Also note that there isn't a single baseball related activity in the entire game. Not on Risa, not on DS9's holo suites, not on earth. Nothing. But every year new baseball kits to wear on a beach.
If we were to get something sports related, why not water polo stuff? Archer was into water polo and we can at least step into water on Risa xD

I haven't worn any of the baseball outfits yet. I don't think I've even unlocked any of them. They don't really appeal to me as I don't care about baseball.
Although one of my toons does have the baseball device that you can throw to other players. More of that would actually be interesting. Why not add volleyball for example? Or Jiu Jitsu (add Spock's robe from ST IV for example for similar sports) and related kit modules.
...and here I am waiting for the full Kobali markings for the rest of Zhaan's body in her bathing suit (Alien Fed female with the Kobali Overall Pattern).
Welcome to my world. I've been up and down the whole Cryptic employee base about getting a full body skin for the LTS Borg. And that's a premium race. I've even managed to get Jack Emmert to say it but years later, still no full body skins for them.

If only they could make some KDF-exclusive gear available for Fed characters. I made Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan as my first Federation character, but the only attire that resembled her Season 1 and 2 gear is the TOS Klingon uniform (with chain sleeve attachments and collar); I made her as a KDF BOFF for my other KDF captains, and saw this set work for her.
I and one of my fleetmates do not like the new VO for the Female Dance Instructor. He jokingly compared her to someone's mom or a Karen. As for the new VO for the previously unvoiced Event Coordinator, I actually like her voice. If the male Dance Instructor has been removed, I had no problem with him and I want him back. Though thinking of the new VO, if you get to the Dance Party before it starts you still hear the old VO from ZeroniusRex. That is a bug.
Cryptic, please add back the old VO from Zero and if you did take out the male Dance Instructor, please bring him back! Also, noticed that the pop-in grass under Lighting 1.0 and a little under Lighting 2.0 is still present. Still prefer how Risa looks under Lighting 1.0, trying it in Lighting 2.0 and it looks drastically different, I am still exploring the island to see what it looks like. A lot of work I believe still needs to be done when it comes to Risa. Finally, the lag, FPS, and/or server issues need to be fixed for Risa and other maps that suffer from this. The first day of the event, I had to close the chat window in order not to have so much lag going on. Thanks.
The former one had a more sexier and younger voice. I tend to agree.
with the move to SAG only voice actors she won't be back. and I doubt they will hire yet another actress to replace this one, so I'd consider it a dead horse. I would like them to fix the artifact hunt. the scanner does not work well, and half the time you "find the artifact" it's not readily found, especially if it's on a path and not a beach. it's location should be far more prominent once you are close enough to trip the "found it" comment
I wish they could make this event longer. I know perhaps boring for some but can't get enough of some of the events. I dislike the Artifact Scavenger Hunt games but the others not so bad. Makes you forget of the reality of the current world to include high gas and inflation for a while.

There is a trick to the Artifact Scavenger Hunt. One trick I found that makes the hunt easier is for me to go to Sovak's Camp BEFORE I accept the scavenger hunt mission, calibrate the scanner, and do 2 preliminary scans at Sovak's Camp, and I would reference the area of coverage to the guide in this link.
I have some friends that would rather start the scavenger hunt inside the volcano instead of Sovaks' Camp, but for me it's easier to start at Sovak's Camp because the transporter pad is right there.
Some of the new voice-overs are neat, but why did the Dance Instructor for the Dance Off have to change? The old one had more emotion and excitement to her, and the new one is just... not as good. If the old voice-over files aren't deleted, pretty please bring back the old Dance Instructor voice. The new one sounds so dead inside. :-(
They decided to add voice-overs to some lines of dialogue that didn't have them before, and since the previous voice actress (I think it was actually a former dev?) was not a SAG member they had to recast.
I agree, the dance instructor has no pep in her tone, Zeronius rex did a much better job of it..
As for the voiceover during the Flying High daily, that one is really annoying and was not really needed..

New dance VO is sharply inferior to old VO imo. I have seen not one comment in this thread or in in-game chat that prefers the new VO. There's bound to be one since I don't play 24-7, but it appears to be a landslide loss for the new VO. As for the other dance caller, he needed improvement, again imo, not missing him except --- he was also Better than the new girl VO.
Why not have the former VO person join SAG, if that is the problem, for whatever the minimum level required that would be necessary to clear that hurdle, and restore the old VO. Her performance certainly exceeds the new one by a margin sufficient to warrant consideration as a VO pro. Or just get somebody better, and better directed, and replace it again. We can pretend she had throat cancer, and the third version is post-surgery and rehab, but with a return to a happier attitude and enthusiastic party feel.
The new denser foliage was hard to get used to and is, and will continue to be, a pain for some events. I can and have adapted to it. It will be a problem for new or less experienced players that don't have the routes and gates pretty much memorized. I have not tried dialing back graphics to remove some detail. Does anybody know if that would work for people having difficulty?
New SWIMWEAR. I love baseball, used to have season tickets. Enough with the baseball, or NEW SWIMWEAR in addition to a , singular, baseball item. It is a Beach Resort! I have never ever in real life seen someone surfing in a Baseball Uniform. I saw some baseball uniforms the first year. A few. I have seen ZERO baseball outfits in game this year. I have never seen anyone in a casino in a baseball uniform. Not Vegas, not Shreveport, not New Mexico, not Oklahoma. In fact, if any actual pro player was seen in uniform in a real casino the player would probably be suspended and fined. So, no baseball at the Dabo table either.
I have to suppose people are buying these uniforms for some reason or you would not keep making them since you need favor sinks, but seriously NEW SWIMWEAR. BEACH ATTIRE. ANYTHING BUT BASEBALL.
A lot of the fun of my favorite annual grind has been shot in the foot by the changes. Sorry to have to down vote the overall change.
Won't beat the dead horse of having to get new impulsive gear. New alt only and yes you have to have it to actually be competitive in some races depending on the random competition. the added challenge of drifting is ok.
I tried to do one dance. one. got there, heard Get out on the dance floor, then nothing. could not hear the dances called, so it was TRIBBLE it time nd I just did the flying high thing. no sandcastles, the audio for dancing Borked, can't wait for this grind to be over

First, Zero is no longer with STO. Second, getting a SAG card is no easy feat. Plus, it's expensive, and their are annual dues as well. One does not simply walk into Mordor.

Why in the world did they get rid of the male dance instructor, why can't we have equality?
Probably didn't want to have to pay another SAG actor to do his new voiceover, which also would've been required for the same reason as the female dance instructor.

You have to click the "I wanna dance" button to actually join in the Dance Party. After doing that, then you should hear the dance instructions.

So... the reason we have a worse performance for the Dance Instructor, is because of some kind of red tape caused by a guild or union system that's supposed to make it so that we get better or more professional performers? The game developers had to get a new voice actor, even though they already had one we liked and the game files existed for, because they wanted to add voices to different characters?
Maybe it's because I'm old, maybe I'm getting senile, but that doesn't make sense to me. Why would they have to replace voices for characters already made and voiced in the game, if they wanted to add voices to a different/separate character?

Because that's not what they did. It wasn't a different/separate character. They were adding dialogue to the Dance Instructor. Specifically, the female Dance Instructor since they apparently chose to remove the male Dance Instructor.
And yes, because they started adding actual Star Trek actors to reprise their roles in the game, the game went SAG, meaning no one without a SAG card can do voice work for the game now. Pre-exisitng dialogue can stay, unless they update/add new dialogue to an old character. This is why we get no new dialogue for Kurland, for example.

The oldest VOs were mostly done by developers, including the Dance Instructor. Once they started using a lot of Trek actors though they needed to become a SAG production, which means going forward they could only hire professional actors who belong to SAG. This year they wanted to record new lines for the Dance Instructor character, which meant they could either have the same character have two different actresses depending on the lines being said, or have the new actress rerecord all the old lines so they sound the same. They chose the second option, and every other game developer would have as well. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Thank you for taking the time to explain what, and why it, happened. I haven't heard any new/different lines from the Dance Instructor, though. I'll see about taking to her when it's not Dance Off time, and see if that's where they added new voice-over lines for her.
You have to click the "I want to dance" button to actually join in the Dance Party. After doing that, then you should hear the dance instructions.
not sure why you even should have to click anything being on the dance floor should be enough. can you do the dance from the ski slope?
Because it's essentially a mission, and every mission must be accepted before it is done. And you don't get the "I wanna dance" mission pop-up unless you're on the dance floor.

I'd rather take a vacation to Hoth! UK weather conditions are thoroughly awful today as they were yesterday. Looking at sandy beaches in warm temps on Risa, ugh...
I might feel differently tomorrow or in a few days when it's far more cooler. Never liked warm temps and never will.
All the same, you all enjoy yourselves. now to find a nice refrigerator to climb into..
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
