Quoted for truth.
Was wondering the same. I hope they won't replace it.
I noticed, btw, that the current DoSB1's map was updated. There is a lot of debris there now, which previously wasn't there.
This debris could use an update; it's rather 2-dimensional. If you drag your screen around your ship, you'll notice that it's totally flat from left to right. You're basically looking at straight lines for each of these pieces of debris at some point.
[citation needed]
Not really, you can tell it is rather popular by the fact that the wait is shorter than a lot of other TFOs, just like some of the other popular ones like Borg Disconnected that almost always pop much faster than the less popular ones like Gravity Kills and whatnot.
I'm looking forward to playing it!
Google translate utilisé pour cela. Actuellement, le navire est introuvable si vous ne l'avez pas obtenu de l'événement hivernal. Vous devez attendre qu'il revienne dans les Phoenix Boxes ou le Mudd's Market.

Probably separate. Sounds like a similar scenario to Dranuur and Pahvo to me.
To be fair, Pahvo feels much easier than Dranuur Beach Gauntlet.
I was talking about the space ones. Peril over Pahvo and I think its Dranuur Gauntlet? Both are the same defend against waves type, with the main difference being what enemy faction pool is used. Dranuur uses a much wider selection pool that also includes Vaadwaur and Voth, while Pahvo only uses DSC Terrans and DSC Klingons.
I don't remember that honestly.
But technically speaking Defense of Starbase One is a holodeck training scenario to prepare Captains for the fight against House Mo'kai by reviewing 23rd Century Klngon tactics, while this new one sounds more like how a lot of other TFOs are portrayed, an actual mission.
Which is the majority of the game. The only characters that experience it first hand are DSC characters, and technically speaking only the one time.
I like to imagine my DSC character helped develop the holodeck scenarios based on her experiences in the actual war. Hence why DSC characters experience all the DSC era missions so much earlier than other characters. Also I seriously doubt Starfleet would miss seeing a 2250s era starship appearing in 2409. Classify it all to hell? Yes. Miss it actually happening? No. And Daniels can't exactly claim that the ship was destroyed because it got spore jumped through time, unlike the TOS character's ship.
I don't envy Admiral Quinn in that case as... I bet he's got a supply of aspirin in his desk because of situations like that.
IMO that might be one of the plot holes in STO that we handwave. What happened to the DSC Character's ship.
That number one attracts all sort of aggressive hostile action.
What are the odds that this is a mind fu.. errr game by the developers in which they borgified the SB24 map and named it Resistance of Starbase One
Why? The current system of having multiple Starbase One bases means that sometimes they invade the old obsolete one held in reserve in case the main one gets taken out, instead of the current active one (unless they took the 25C one down from active service after it was digitized and restored last arc...).
You're missing the point/ pun
I wonder if this has to do with that one episode in the Iconian arc. The Borg assimilated something powerful as a result of our changes to the timeline.
We've yet to see the effects of that in-game.
One thing I wonder is where Starbase 1 is right now in 2411.
In Discovery, it was somewhere in the far reaches of the Sol system, but in SNW, it's then in orbit of Jupiter. And in Picard, it was unlikely to still be here since the Queen's massive Borg Cube was hiding in the Great Red Spot of Jupiter and it was only detected by the Enterprise-D.
So...did the Borg Tactical Cube just get nixxed?
My only complaint is that Starbase One is still targetable, not really a big deal on PC seeing as we can bind a key to target enemies. But when this gets ported to Console it'll become an issue. Many times, a player will target the base instead of the bad guys with the targeting system they have.
Also, it's bugged Endeavor-wise because it doesn't count as a Borg TFO.
The assimilators appear and do nothing to warrant the name, they should come a wave sooner and beam into the starbase to drain/convert its crew as a healthbar it goes down. The defenders then have to destroy them while beaming over security to help which would be a fairly high risk thing given the radius of the explody balls flown by the mirror borg. Instead of evacuation ships they could be flying in to bolster the crew. Of course that would introduce the potential of a fail state should the station get borgified and that's apparently a big nono. Macguffin for throwing lives into a grinder is that (as the only station starfleet has) it's been designated as the galactic hub for stuff and things involving protomatter and the line has been drawn here etc etc and so on
Do both exist? I guess it's possible to have multiple bases in Earth orbit, so I could accept that. It's a bit weird though.
