Yeah, one thing to remember is that the Bajoran wormhole was never discovered in the MU, so they've probably never even been to the Gamma Quadrant or heard of the Dominion. There was never a Maquis, so they likely never had a ship get trapped in the Delta Quadrant. At best they've probably just "conquered" the Alpha and…

Only available during the Summer Event, from a vendor on Risa. Actually, it might be in the Event store, not sure. Just need Lohlunat Pearls for it! Anyway, yeah, this thing is pretty underwhelming. I think it should at least be considered an Exploit attack, to make it better. Also a little disappointed the animation isn't…

Missions attached to rep tiers is a great motivator, but in the future I think the devs should limit them to (interesting) side stories, related to the rep but not to the main story. For instance, three out of the five Romulan reputation missions deal with exposing and eliminating Tal Shiar presence on New Romulus. That's…

There are some characters from the shows that haven't become top of the food chain in STO canon. Worf, of course, ditched Starfleet and sided with the Empire. Ezri Dax, one of the youngest characters in DS9, is retired by STO (though she did make captain beforehand). Data is a professor at Oxford after being captain of the…

I'm fine with the restriction. We have plenty of time to do this event, and surely you aren't planning to get a core on every character! My only quibble is restricting the new snow guns. Seems odd. Since I don't like "wasting" ornaments, I have to suffer through five Tides with just snowballs if I want the Freezing Mist.…

Uh, don't want to burst your bubble, but... I don't think he's doing all that much living.

I can barely stand this game anymore. My friend is starting to rack up spec points by just spending hours on Kobali, but I just can't do it. Repeating the same thing over and over has never been my style; I don't even do queues that often. I'm not a player they want, and they're doing a damn good job of making me feel…
-
I really doubt there's going to be a T6 Intrepid. The only way I see it happening is if they're planning to make T6 versions of all the other ships too, which makes the T5-U upgrade system completely worthless and will just anger people when a T6 version of their upgraded ship comes out. The Intrepid is not a very special…

I could see them having a full, player-version Intelligence Officer class ready to go around when, say, the Cardassian faction is introduced! But for now, I think they're just BOffs.
-
When I made my Romulan, I looked up if there were any special division colors. Thing is, from TNG on, they basically all just wear grey or black. However, I decided to adopt a non-canon interpretation of some of the colors seen in TOS, because the Republic does seem like the type to add a little color back into things!…
-
This is the most they should do, if anything. I want one too, now. :P
-
I can't believe I'm defending the admiral thing, because I hate it too, but I think the idea is that the ships in our Shipyard are the "fleet" we're commanding. So, for instance, my character is flying a Fleet Advanced Escort, but the Defiant, Armitage, and Steamrunner in her yard are out doing their own thing, and she can…

I think a dev has said the upgrade system won't be tied to the crafting system, but we don't know. I'm holding off on buying rep gear now, and already regret my most recent purchases last week. Personally, I'm pulling for upgrading rep gear being just a "simple" project that requires some marks. Probably dilithium, too,…
-
Heh, I didn't say I was even going to get it. I'm not, and have no plans to, especially now. And like I said, the First Contact Day mission where I actually flew the ships was more effective, and even then not enough to get me to seriously consider buying any of them. But I like the Odyssey/Aquarius on a conceptual/story…
-
Right, but like... This is the one shot we have of the J, and obviously it looks physically nothing like these T6 ships, but they do share the weird glowiness (even if they're not even the same color) and less emphasis on having a hull. It just seemed like maybe they're thinking "what designs might eventually lead to this…
-
I do kind of think Cryptic is trying to use the Enterprise-J - seen vaguely in a single episode of Enterprise - as "inspiration" for new ships.
-
Well, the console that gives the Aquarius pet is. I know it's dumb, but I really enjoyed that bit. Also, the actual Aquarius ships sucks, so I wasn't really tempted towards the real thing. And yes, I know the Aquarius pet is pretty useless too, but I'm not that focused on min-maxing. It just seemed like a cool thing at the…

Actually, it used to take less time. During testing, the daily project used to give 9000 exp instead of 6000, and we all know about how you used to be able to slot the daily project multiple times for one school.
-
The problem is, how often do you really notice what your NPC allies are doing, enough to appreciate the ship itself? Mostly they rush in and get taken out because they're far below what a player ship can be. On the other hand, Shon's Aquarius run in the last FE actually got me tempted to buy the Odyssey. You're right,…
-
Surface Tension, the latest FE, had us in our own ships. There might be one episode where we fly a newer ship, but I'm expecting to get hopefully quite a few missions out of this expansion. I also doubt there are going to be missions "per faction". I think a big point of getting the peace treaty in the last mission was so…
-
There isn't really any C-store ship I want right now anyway (I've already got regrets about buying too many store escorts), but I am kicking myself for getting a bunch of rep gear a couple days ago. I'd completely forgotten I'd wanted to wait until today's news. At least I only "wasted" 30k dilithium.

Unlike Starfleet, the Klingon Defense Force seems to just let everyone, or every captain at least, pick their own favorite armor design for their crew, so there doesn't seem to be any official colors or outfits for anyone. That's why, for instance, unlike Starfleet races, Nausicaans, Orions, and Gorn all have their own…
-
Romulans can't wear the fleet uniforms because they're not actual members of Starfleet/Defense Force. However, and I already know you're not going to like this, Romulans already get their fleet uniforms - the Starfleet/KDF allied uniforms you unlock when choosing your side. Those are officially, as far as STO is concerned,…
-
I... don't really agree. First off, there aren't that many clones around. There's no T5 Constitution for people to "be Kirk" in, and the Galaxy is universally derided and easily the least popular Starfleet cruiser. Yes, they could use all-new designs, but why bother with the Star Trek license then? I'm not being unoriginal…
-
The Borg probably could use a buff. Of course, they can already do that instant shield drain thing, which sucks, but... Well, take the mission "Assimilation" as an example. The Undine have always been pretty good at killing Borg, but the newly-revamped Undine ships completely wipe the floor with them. It's actually kind of…
-
Those are the answers I came up with. I'm sure some of them sound like excuses, though; I'm not saying they're the best replies, but it's pretty late, heh. In the end, I really don't think Cardassians should be another faction, even a "half" one like Romulans. For one thing, all evidence points to them barely being able to…
-
Just to note, the Tufted colors on that chart are only for Adult Tufted birds. Tufted Fledgling and Seniors use a different color scheme that's only slightly different from the normal variety, usually just a bit brighter or with one color changed.
-
Once you get the cruiser on a character - any character - the other characters on your account only need 40 pearls to complete the project for the cruiser. So basically, once you get 1000 pearls for your Tactical character and get a cruiser on them, you can log on your Engineer and go to Risa (once they're level 11) and do…
-
On the other end of the spectrum, I really want the other storyline BOffs to be reclaimable. For all factions. I know it's stupid, but I don't have the heart to dismiss any of them, despite how terrible they are. They actually have backstories, minor as they are, and that speaks to me. However, I'd dismiss them in a second…

It's a good guess, and it might happen, but Cryptic might refrain from new ships or anything major while the event is going. New ships (that aren't tied to an event) are usually put out to fill gaps in new content, I think.
