Wasn't there supposed to be some kind of Romulan war prior to TOS? I was hoping to get that in Disco.

Yes but they explicitly state that it was fought purely ship to ship and without visual communication and they'd been no contact since the end of the war. There's a whole subplot when they finally get a visual of the bridge and everyone is shocked that they look like Vulcans.

That was a hundred years before TOS, during the ENT era (It was going to be a focus of season 5). It was pre-Federation and fought between Earth and the Romulans. The Romulans went isolationist afterwards, nobody had seen them since until Balance of Terror.

So the account-wide extra admiralty slot from Gamma Recruit appears to be bugged, I'm getting Odo's Flagship but the admiralty slot is still locked.

Odo's Flagship has been changed from tribble, incidentally. Instead of a sci card, it's now 69/40/26, 4x crit rate from eng.

I hadn't bothered opening the doff reward box until now.

:eyepop: I did not expect that, nor that you can only slot this space specific guy as a ground doff.

He's an account unlock, so you can grab him on your other characters after grinding him out on your Jem.

It worked fine when I got it a few weeks ago. You need to claim it on each character, and like all the other extra slot unlocks you need to do a map change before it will show up (so beam up/down, transwarp, log off/on, whatever).

It doesn't help that the explosions have gone up in strength, mind you. There have been several complaints going about, and the upgrade in enemy power is noticeable.

And here I thought Gamma didn't have anything super-good like the Mk13/UR unlock.

I think the maths scaling things to level 65 and Mk 15 doesn't quite all balance and there are some weird side effects.

One of the Temporal Recruit rewards (getting everything to tier 5) makes all rep projects account-wide come out as Mk 13 ultra-rare instead of Mk 12 rare. It was basically better than all the other rewards put together.

Get ready for STO's story to be officially invalidated:

https://trekmovie.com/2018/08/04/breaking-new-star-trek-tv-series-starring-patrick-stewart-as-jean-luc-picard-announced/

Hopefully this will finally settle the "is STO canon?" debate, when this new series completely contradicts the story Cryptic told post-TNG.

That man does not age.

There is a giant gap between TNG and the opening of STO though. Not to mention with all the time war bullshit there are probably a thousand plus parallel timelines in the same universe.

Heck I think every time you do that queue blowing up the sphere builder whatsists you get 4 or 5 new timelines in 15 minutes.

I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.
STO was always canon until it wasn't anyway. Plus they've rewritten their own timeline like three times by this point anyway.

In a panel at Star Trek Las Vegas and Rekha Sharma has also been confirmed for Age of Discovery.

We’ll also be seeing the tardigrade and in January, an event featuring the real deal Captain Killy.

They both actually seem excited to be part of it. Rekha and Mary also keep gushing about each other and the show.

To try and save this dead thread on a dying internet comedy forum I will post this thread topic relevant YouTube video about why OG Star Trek is dead and the new STD (snigger) stuff is the new canon. Which is all that matters to some people.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s_BGDBasnA

Why does this remotely matter for a Chinese MMO that floats on a raft made of lootboxes? Star Trek Discovery & whatever the new Picard show is will be the New Star Trek and future game content will reflect.

(I have no idea if anyone cares but we're pretty short on discussion topics so gently caress it)

Plasleech did get nerfed (twice I think) but it's still somewhat worth fitting. It's not as hot as it used to be since there are a lotta ways to keep your power levels up, but, hey, free power.

The new rep set is pretty garbage both in terms of stats and visuals (why would you make a set that can't be mixed in this day and age Cryptic:argh:) so yeah, once you've exhausted the story content there isn't really a reason to log in regularly unless you found a secret stash of pubbies to farm angerquotes from.

Still, as brief spurts of activity go, this was one of the better ones.
