TOS Temperal Agent bundle

https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/game-pack/detail/918-temporal-special-agent-pack found this early this morning on priority one's facebook page.

Oh my, there are some beautiful ships in there.

there are, this makes me think they are going to do another Delta recruit thing, I wouldn't mind flying some of those TOS era ships, the t6 ships im still not sure on but the time ships are very beautiful. Plus all the new clothing options. Andorian fans will probably love having those clothes finally. Though I feel that there should be a higher tier Conni with the set seeing that well of all those TOS eva ships she should be the most advance one there.

No nonfed stuff, f'it. :(

hopefully they will show some nonfed stuff soon. I would love to have new ships for my Rom, and something for the Empire.

Read the description on the uniforms these are not fed ships they are part of a new temporal TOS era faction which we assume is part of the coming expansion.

All fed designs, my romulan temporal agent should not be flying any of those, nor should any kdf races.

As much as I dislike the idea of starting another character from scratch, the TOS timeline is one that I enjoy and that I'm kind of excited for. I'm not entirely sure if it feels completely right within the context of 2409 STO, but hopefully they can weave a story that makes sense.

I'm relieved that they have torn TOS clothing, because my Captain Kirk abs have just been begging for a fight with a Gorn or any other excuse to unnecessarily expose themselves to my crew :D

I'm still nursing a mild grudge from Delta Recruitment. Incentivizing new characters so you can't say 'no' is one thing. But gating content access on it peeves me to no end.

I suppose it's possible that viewing it as rolling a Romulan in order to play 'Legacy of Romulus' might be the more apt comparison, perhaps.

Pix from Vegas, or it didn't happen.

Which maybe reinforces that this is going to be a Starfleet-centered expansion, in the way Legacy of Romulus didn't hold a great deal of content for Starfleet or Klingon characters.

Sold even though a Daedalus shouldn't be a higher tier than a Constitution... Now where's my T6 Connie?

I haven't touched STO in months. I figure a Star Trek game should be about exploration, diplomacy, and moral dilemmas, so I've been playing Guild Wars 2. This might drag me back, at least for a bit.

Oh yeah, and by this point I must have a few thousand in Zen stipends--what should I buy?

I am in no way thrilled for this. I don't like TOS era in general, and I barely tolerated watching the episodes. They are great for the most part so don't get me wrong. I just do not like it. So something like this is a bore and if anything pushes me away rather than pull me in. So sad.

Awwwwe Jamie, come now.. all new content is good content.. the game has been desperately needing a spring of life for a good while now.
Even Im not that well educated or interested in the TOS era.. but it might make me like it.

With The legacy of Romulas and Delta expansions.. they always added/announced something new to the Purchasable packs every mth or so.. so they will prob add more items or news to make it sound amazing.

**My Theory** I see this expansion much the Romulan fraction.. Separate.. with its own story arc.. that slowly gets us into the current era.. and like with Roms.. you cant join a fleet until after you completed the whole Arc.. so I dont think we will be needing another Alt fleet.

I'm excited. The Sagittarius may not quite be as epic as flying around in a 2 mile long universe class Enterprise-J, but I really like how they evolved the design.

I do believe this will be a very happy move for many STO gamers. Those feelings being my own personal ones, does not change that I know many others loved the series and all there was to it. Nostalgia even plays a part for many.

In no way am I putting down this expansion as an overall objective. Right now the game does need a fresh breath of life into it. Yes, there is new content all around, but retention is failing. I get that. TOS just makes me irk wildly. My own sentiment explained that.

The concept seems solid and from the reviews I've read so far today (trolling aside) from the release notes, youtube video, etc. it seems like many are taking a positive liking to this move by Cryptic. I do support them for making such a stride, but I cannot say that it will move me. I really do not like TOS...

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).

I too am not a huge fan of TOS, but the new T6 ships and the new uniforms look quite nice to me (also - Vulcan, Andorian and Tellarite uniforms/clothing :D ).

They only thing I'm a tad disappointed in is still no playable Cardassians :(

Yeah as gareth said i anticipate this to be a new faction similar to the romulans which is why there are no KDF/Rom ships.

There were no Fed or KDF ships with the launch of legacy of romulus either.

But then again more fed ships are always coming, now we are back to the fact that new kdf/rom ships only come in combination with new feds.

It would be awesome if they would re-introduce procedurally generated adventures. It would go along way to making it feel like exploration. If they do I hope they offer access to the seed data so that the adventures are repeatable, for when you find a good one.
