I noticed the STO feed sidebar on the main page is now in German. Is this intentional or no? Maybe a Cryptic error?

Thank you for all the hard work that went into this. I think it's a wonderful idea and I'm looking forward to working with it! :cheer:

It wasn't in that list, but he also asked how many ships had been announced for the pack, indicating that they will be announcing more in the future, which also happened with the LOR pack.

If any of you missed it, Al Rivera was one P1 Podcast the other day and here are the bullet points posted by Massively OP:

• This is essentially a new faction that’s playable in the original series (TOS) era, although marketing was hesitant to label it as a “faction” due to possible confusion.
• Rivera explained the difference between a season in Star Trek Online and an expansion, with the latter usually containing something epic, such as a level cap increase, new things to do in the endgame, or a new faction.
• Cryptic loves expansions since they get new and veteran players to all start together at the same point.
• The expansion takes place in 2270, after the third season of TOS and three years before the movies. For comparison, the current era of Star Trek Online takes place in 2409.
• The current Future Proof arc in the game will lead into the expansion’s story.
• Agents of Yesterday will have its own tutorial, starting experience, and sector block.
• All players, TOS and modern, will be able to come together at some point, although Cryptic isn’t explaining how that will work yet (Rivera pointed to what they did with the Romulans as a possible path).
• Modern captains will be able to access at least some of the story arcs of the expansion, although there will be dialogue differences depending on which era you’re from.
• There are other actors and celebs that Cryptic hasn’t announced yet for the expansion.
• The team isn’t “shoehorning” Chase Masterson’s Leeta in; her presence will make sense.
• Expect iconic moments, locations, and characters harkening back to the best of TOS.
• “This story is going to resonate with TOS fans,” Rivera said.
• New captains will only be able to pick races that make sense for TOS era, so no Bajoran, Cardassians, etc. Also, Klingons and Romulans will not be playable then because TOS was mostly about the Federation (and Cryptic ain’t got time for that).
• There will be plenty of blog posts coming out between now and the expansion at the rate of about two per week.
• Rivera stressed that Agents of Yesterday is not a separate game because they didn’t want to split the community.
• Cryptic did consider creating a new TOS game but decided that an expansion was a better idea.
• Cryptic is in talks with CBS about the upcoming 2017 Star Trek series and working with them, but nothing is set in stone yet. They may or may not be doing something together.

Like most have guessed, this is going to be a mini-faction. If this is the direction every expansion is going to take, a new faction for us to roll new characters in, I'm going to be pretty disappointed. I have enough characters as it is. I don't need to be adding on a couple more every year. How does Cryptic expect people to keep up with that?

I guess this is the monetization scheme of expansions. Get everyone to start new characters so they buy more inventory slots, more bank slots, more doff slots, more dry dock slots, more boff slots, new faction-themed ships, uniforms and everything else.

It may not be common knowledge to everyone, but Stonewall Fleet has an additional fleet called the Stonewall Vault. It is within this fleet that we store all of the valuable items, ships, rewards packs and even Energy Credits that’s donated to us for event prizes. The fleet is only accessible to Admirals to keep these items valuable items secure.

I have some good news! The Vault is full. Due to the constant generosity of our membership, we have amassed a treasure trove of valuable prizes and currency. When I say the Vault is full, I really mean it. Did you know that fleets max out at 1 Billion EC? We do! We cannot store another Energy Credit. The tabs dedicated to ships, traits and reward packs are starting to spill out into other places.




This has highlighted a need for our community. When we, as event hosts, want to give out prizes, we do our best to pick out prizes that we think everyone will like, but at the end of the day, we really have no idea. We do our best to guess at prizes and hand pick a few things, but this leaves a lot on the table. Some of the items in the Vault have been there for years. We just don’t know when to pull them out.

To change things up, instead of giving out prizes like before, we’ll be giving out Stonewall Credits as prizes. For instance, Third Place at an event might earn you 1 Stonewall Credit while First Place would net you three. The Department of Fleet Resources will be keeping track of the Credits and you’ll be able to save them up to purchase big ticket items. If not, you can always purchase an item right away with the Credits you’ve earned. Though, we’ll be saving big items like T6 ships for particularly big events.

We’ve set up a dedicated website currently where you can view the entire catalogue of available items, their prices and place an order. We’ll be keeping it up to date as new items are donated and others are awarded. You can check out the site at credits.stonewallfleet.com.

Hopefully, this will take the guess work out of reward prizes, give all of you better incentive to participate in events and make it easier for us to give out prizes more often! I want to personally thank everyone who has donated these wonderful items to our fleet. The generosity of our membership continuous to amaze me. With your help and support, we can continue this far into the future.

We have some great events coming up soon that'll give everyone a chance to start earning Stonewall Credits!
