So, November 12th 2024 to December 3rd 2024? Maybe? Why is this article unclear? Fero is usually much more succinct and specific.

The mugato was an excellent choice!

The intent behind my original reply was to complain and hope for a change in how dark recent Trek shows have been, except SNW. I know we all have our favorites; I’m just not at all a fan of this trend of the bad guys being cool in Star Trek. Again, in Star Trek. The casts, the acting, the production are all great and I’m glad more Trek exists; I, personally, just wish it was a bit more shiny.

Do I want those shows not to exist in the first place? No. I just don’t rewatch them like I do others, thus I don’t care to make pumpkins about starring characters who are not the characters I’d want in humanity’s future.

That’s great! My original en-edited reply congratulated you, but then I thought, “This is the internet. Burrito Trucks can’t carve pumpkins…” LOL

My favorite is the Mugato.

Fair point and well done (to the artists)!!

How about we carve a Spock or Picard or Mariner or really anyone else who isn’t a genocidal dictator? Hmm? Maybe?

No? Perhaps my dream for Star Trek has too much hope for humanity’s future? Not enough grit, tears, and flashy booms?

EDITORIAL (from Indy): Save your Zen. This is likely meant to get people to spend the Zen they have banked already, before the good Black Friday sales.

I’m not sure. I have seen anything about that. (Then again, I’m not overly interested in the ship, so I may overlook things related to it.)

Have you tested it since these patch notes?

I wonder if the “14th” is a typo and/or if the “21st” will be kept as the end date, considering this was posted today (2024 Oct 17).

Agreed. I would have loved to have that kind of callback to the story.

That was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for providing the links to the various segments!

October 17th, 2024 (8am PT) to November 7th, 2024 (12pm PT)

• Grand Prize: Beowulf’s Blade (account-wide), 3x Featured TFO Reward Boxes, 25,000 Dilithium Ore
• Earn Progress with Cat’s Tale TFO, Delving the Castle Patrols

Fair point! I think you’re spot on with the quality of the episodes (as game pieces) themselves. Story, meh, but game design/graphics, wow!

We’ll see what happens. As the famous trombone player said, “Fate protects fools, little children, and ships named Enterprise.”

Well said. And it’s been an enjoyable journey throughout.

Some of the stories have been lackluster here and there, but that in itself is Star Trek. Not every show/game/story is going to be for everyone, yet beautifully all are welcome as trekkers/trekkies.

The game will probably soldier on for a significant period of time.

Agreed, but I would adjust that wording (whether “solidering”, “limping”, or “on life support”) based on how the first DECA content feels.

It will probably be in a “zombie” state, not unlike that of Champions Online (as I understand it, I don’t really play that game).

Feels like it has been since 2020, if not a little before, IMO.

We’re closer to STO’s end than its beginning.

STO 2 when? 😛 Joking aside, we really are near its end. I wish that 3D model company hadn’t turned and run after taking orders (yes, they refunded eventually); I’d have liked to have some of my ships as models to remember STO.

Personally, I think they were just someone’s way to get lines spoken as if from those alien comics (by Nathan Pyle) that are popular online right now. Lines like, “Evasion is beneficial to us” instead of “Watch out”. Or “Observe” instead of “Look”.

I don’t think there’s any real story to it or, at least, no story that anyone at Cryptic cared to create before leaving/sleeping on the project.

At this point, with as many years as STO has had, I’m guessing “shard maintenance” is just a chance to clean out the hamster cages for the next week.

I didn’t even notice this posting. In fact, I was surprised when I saw the shard message in-game today; I figured they were skipping this week.
