When I first saw the post, I thought it was an April Fools joke and thought they were a little late. Then I realized they were being serious. There's been a group of dead set TOS fans in STO for a long while, but they've always been told that STO set in 2409 and that's that. I guess not anymore. They've found a way to monetize your nostalgia an oh they will! I guess this is why the current story arc is taking us into time travel.
The fact that most of this is for new characters is a bit of a groan. Getting to 60 on a new character again after all the horizontal leveling we have? Level Doffs again. Reputations again. Crafting again. Don't get me started on Specializations.
All in all, I did like the Delta Recruitment event, even if it was basically the same rehashed content. I regret not making a KDF. I bet the Temporal Agent thing will largely be the same thing again. The same missions minorly edited with new clickies for us to find, or possibly the hidden Na’kuhl agents we have to find and kill.
Exploration is suppose to be coming back in this expansion. I'll be hoping for that. Something good. Something dynamic. Something procedural? Probably asking the moon with that one, but I can hope.
If this is the updated Sovereign I've been hoping for, I can get behind that. That looks pretty sleek, though the saucer could use a little work. Some Temporal abilities would be bad ass. That pack has some beautiful ships in it.
Well, here goes to leveling three new toons (One TOS, One FED Temp, One KDF Temp).
