Theories for the coming First Contact event prize

As we already know, it's going to Bozeman's past with Seven of Nine and the rocket launch event for First Contact Day's event line, but the true question is what's this year's prize? It could be anything for all we know. So rather than a usual prize, I'd suggest spicing things up with a T6 100% coupon but as far as I believe, it could be anything.

    The recent livestream said that they had considered the Star Trek Into Darkness "Spock Volcano Suit", but chose something else.

  • They probably realized the same thing I did, a special EV suit wouldn't be much of a prize.

    Who knows, maybe it'll be an Elton John boff. Only if you play the rocket launch mission though.

    More seriously: I honestly have no idea what to expect.

    It might be a different EV suit. They made a few new ones recently - the latest Terran Bundle had one, and so did the bundle that includes the Legendary Vesta. Following those designs, it may be a mixture of the First Contact suit worn by Picard, Worf and Hawk and the MACO outfits.

    Assuming they meant something else entirely when they said it would be 'more fun' though, I'd expect it to be something we can use more often than an EV suit.

    Maybe a Liberated Borg security escort kit module?
    A rocket launcher kit module (works similarly to the micro-photon torpedo module)
    A Seven of Nine Boff. She is one of the few recurring characters that's not yet available as a Boff.
    Worf's new weapon from Picard's third season.

    Isn't FC suit the Default Fed side EV-suit though?

    Or on the crew deck with the trophies!

    Of course, all we can do here is guess. That's not theorizing, that's blue-skying. After all, as a wise man once said:
    It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

    Not really default as the suit itself is only available as a Veteran reward.
  • It would be awesome if it was a jukebox trophy that actually played Magic Carpet Ride.

    No idea, looking forward to whatever we get though :)

    As it was mentioned in the Ten Forward Weekly. ( Jonathan hints that the Chronogami will be added to the game at some point )
    So going to go out on a limb and say my guess would be that its the Chronogami.
    Seeing as part of that event is travelling back in time to the original first contact day with Seven, so it would be a fitting reward.

    What even IS a Chronogami anyways?

    I take it you do not watch "Star Trek - Lower Decks" ?
    I certainly do not wish to spoil it for anyone who have not seen the 3rd season.

    I... kinda can't. Don't have Paramount+ so... no access to any of them. And I only get bits and pieces off YouTube clips, but so far have only seen clips from Picard.

    it's definitely the Chronogami, Jon was being a little too cheeky with his comment
  • spiritbornspiritborn Member Posts: 4,374 Arc User
    While it's probably not gonna happen, it would be nice if they made the Fleet museum from Picard a social zone and had TFO during First Contact Day associated with it.

    Which, honestly, they should - the Federation's Founding is obviously a very major holiday in-universe.​​

    I wish I hadn't looked up Frontier Day. Now I know that
    Tuvok / Tim Russ makes an appearance on Picard

    So far only very briefly, in the opening moments of episode 7, so really it's not much of a spoiler.

    First contact day is tomorrow and lack of information regarding when its gonna start would lead me to beleave its been canceled, so no prize this year :)
  • solidshark214solidshark214 Member Posts: 347 Arc User
    It is definitely weird that there's been no info. Honestly, I expected the First Contact Day event to start today--Tuesday and Thursday are the usual days to begin events, and with FD being on a Wednesday, I figured Tuesday the most likely start day. At the least, I would've expected some news about it by now.

    Even weirder is that I was getting load screens talking about a Red Alert starting soon. Anybody have any idea what the heck is going on?

    First contact day is not tomorrow. Was just confirmed on the 10FWD livestream the blog is coming out tomorrow, with the event starting next week.

    The event may not be tomorrow, but April 5th is, canonically, the date of First Contact Day. Usually the STO event does coincide with it. I wonder why the delay this year?

    Edie: Oh come on, there would be more aliens without bagdes in this game, and furthermore they haven't added new ones for many FCD events now, my argument is valid.

    I would like more alien badges but I won't hold my breath.
