The Dilithium Ore event runs on all platforms from December 17th at 8am PT until December 31st at 12pm PT

Additionally, you can enjoy a discount of 20% on Ships in the Dilithium Store

(As an aside, I really appreciate the way Fero has been making the important text bold. Makes my little summary copy-paste so much easier.)

True, but isn’t it kind of a fun trope for the game at this point? Perhaps even a trope for the shows?

Hopefully they’ll work the update into a story. It’d be nice to have more narrative to changes within the game, as the new team takes over.

Note: This Earth Space Dock update is going live on PC at a later date (not 12/11). We’ll keep you updated, and until then, enjoy this behind-the-scenes look!

Q’s Winter Wonderland will be available from December 3rd, 2024 at 8am PT to January 2nd, 2025 at 12pm PT. This event will run simultaneously across all platforms (PC and Console)

Event ship is “Eleos Intel Scout Vessel [T6]”, as seen in this post.

I second many of your points. And, also…

“the purple D”

Had me immediately thinking, “Well, STO vanity shields are canon now, I guess.”

Mudd’s 32nd Century Legacy Choice Pack is coming to Xbox and PlayStation this week, together with 50% off Mudd Bundles on all platforms!

… All Mudd bundles, including those that have previously appeared in Mudd’s Market, will be on sale for 50% off… from November 28th at 8am PT until December 9th at 12pm PT on PC, and from November 28th at 8am PT until December 12th at 12pm PT on Xbox and PlayStation

… the old Mudd Bundles appearing a little later here on December 3rd at 8am PT.

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.

General:

• Resolved an issue that was allowing the power from the Polarity Coil Generator to appear on captains’ hotbars even when the Console was not equipped.
