Yes.

I wouldn't be surprised if a Phoenix Pack release became a regular yearly release (or maybe three times a year in line with the Anniversary, Summer, and Winter events).
-
There's no indiciation the Phoenix Pack will be different from previous limited time releases. The item will vanish from drop tables/stores/availability, but what's in your inventory isn't going to disappear. I still have glossy photos of Q on one character, and those have been useless for a full year.
-
That's kind of the problem though. The chance for the real rewards are so low that I doubt many people who missed them the first time around will get them. Ships like the Nandi and the Sarr Theln cost 1 hour of your time over the course of 2 1/2 weeks to obtain when they were first available. Now they're in excess of…

For all my trouble all I got was a Jem'hadar attack ship to save me money pursing one later (all I wanted was the Hangar pets for my Jem Dread, so it works). I got the Voth admiralty ship cause it's pretty good, and I pretty much skipped everything on the Very Rare list because none of those items are particularly good…
-
I'm going to echo this. I've played the game since it's second year on and off. I've missed some rewards, and I looked at this and thought it was going to be a good chance at getting some of them on my main characters and enjoying what I missed the first time around. Turns out it's just a whale hunt. Only the luckiest…

50 or so packs should generate a enough tokens to get the basic stuff from the Uncommon, Rare, and Very rare lists. Anything past that isn't worth it.

Having two actually makes you more susceptible to Malaria if I remember correctly :D Literal double edged sword!
-
Not once you get past basics, and into more difficult questions like availability and equity. There is a distinct difference between gene therapy to fix genetic defects, and eugenics. The Federation notably had no ban on gene therapy (it's mentioned in one or two episodes including Dr. Bashir I Presume). It's a very…
-
Probably because it's Star Trek, and Star Trek has spent more time on moral and ethical issues than technological ones (you know, when it's not about green space women and punching lizard men :D)
-
Star Trek's attitude toward genetic engineering is a lasting legacy of the post-Eugenics era. And that's a period that isn't just about tyrannical German regimes in the 1930s and 40s. The US has a long history with Eugenics, and for those too young to remember it was an issue that cropped up again in the 1960s when the…

Science fiction and fantasy are two sides of the same coin. Just as any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, any sufficiently explained magic is indistinguishable from science. "A force man was not meant to know" is a logic applied in Science Fiction all the time. Science gone wrong is invoked…
-
They were plenty smart. That and the episode's main plot was based on the Foundation Trilogy, so they kind of had to go that route or it wouldn't have been a proper homage! Their issue was they were arrogant, and that was the whole point of the episode as it pertained to Bashir and his fellow augments. Bashir wasn't just…
-
The general fan theory is that in the Mirror Universe the Axis powers won WWII. Another is that in the MU, the Axis powers were the good guys (and lost). Another is that the MU was born as an alternate timeline due to the events of Stormfront in ENT, and that while the Prime Timeline was restored by those events, they also…
-
As Bashir's story shows in DS9, there are good reasons why the Federation banned the technology. There's a whole episode (ripped from Isaac Asimov), that toyed with Bashir and other Augments being convinced they couldn't be wrong. The only way anyone could disagree was to be too stupid to understand! Like in reality, the…
-
It doesn't matter what they're breed for. The social implications of the technology are staggering, and the kind of people who'd pursue creating a "better humanity" through genetics have historically been among the worse of our species.
-
I can't say I'll be upset if there's only 6 missions in the basic TOS faction story line. I think the reality people have to realize is that the entire thing is really just a bone to be thrown at a small but very vocal segment of STO's fanbase that has been begging for old school Trek stuff for years. With the main story…

I got an email from support with these instructions; I ultimately didn't have to do this, as my character now can pass through load screens without issue. However I figured I'd post it here in case it helps anyone else. If it doesn't then people can at least say in their support tickets that they've attempted this step and…

I have a fresh Klink who is experiencing this problem in the tutorial. She gets a "couldn't transfer player container" error every time I press the "Take Command" option right after completing the first part of the tutorial where you kill Captain Jurlek.

I've been running this with the Temporal Dread; SciSpam Paradox The secondary deflector is a Solanae deflector. I just put the build together so everything is still very base on it but so far I've had a positive experience in Advanced STF's (I keep forgetting to DPS record it @_@). Mostly I just spam anything that triggers…
-
Anything too front heavy is imo counter productive. The ship has a low turn rate, and the amount of turn boosts you have to throw on to get anything done really hurts anything else you want to do. The ability to spam Manheim Effect and Temporal Backstep is cool, but the 10% cool down on Science is really good. Depending on…
-
The Temporal ships were pretty strong before, but the new 3 piece console set seems ludicrous to me. The massive reduction to Temporal Backstep and Manheim effect is amazing, and the 10% Sci cool down is the kicker. Add in another 10% from a deflector dish, and the 10% from the All Hands on Deck trait and you've got a…

I know. I just dabble in torp/sci on my KDF characters and figured I'd throw in where the stuff is on the side when it comes up :D Some developers had to make it a bit confusing by changing the names of a bunch of things :P
-
Additionally for Torp damage, the Honor Guard set for Klingons has 25% Torp damage as the 2 piece set bonus :D
-
As additional info, Graga Mal is a Federation only DOFF from the Voth Lockbox. The Klingon version is named Falla Okev and has the exact same effect (but is even more expensive on the exchange).
-
I think its inevitable that they'll eventually rerelease older Lockbox and Lobi store ships to have a T6 version.
-
I personally want to add that I would love the ability to launch Time Ship Frigates. That would be BA :D
-
In my experience Storming the Spire is difficult for typical players to score well on (resulting in a lower amount of marks). Borg Disconnected is the usual go to STF for Dyson Marks, and V-Rex's for the tokens.
-
This. There's really no form of security that can overcome persistence. Really if anything, this should be an example to PWE/Cryptic to not host all their products on the same servers.
-
I'm pretty sure if people can't play the game, there is no revenue. The problem seems to be that this particular person is very persistent. Almost a whole week now. Large companies get DDOS'd all the time. The BBC was shut down for a few hours just last month.
