Played a bit of the intro episode on the Tribble. A few good and bad things.

Good things:

1. It has a very nice galaxy TOS map.

2. A cool first ship.

Bad things:

1. Bad modern (the usual) background music. (I turned it off)

2. No cinematic camera view yet.

3. Bad dialogue implying Klingon is not intelligence enough to make good computer encryption.

 

4. Kor ran away from a battle with Kirk. No way.

 "Kor" looks NOTHING like he should. I would've gladly let them use my formula :P

Agreed. But those are NOT space diapers... you're thinking of TNG again

 

Now with 25% more camel toe!

For those of us who were channeling our inner Comic Book Guy ("Ahem. Only ENTERPRISE crew members wore the delta patches, SIR.") awesome news:

In a June 4 G & T Show podcast with Rivera:

"The big issue came into play when they were trying to rectify the issues between TOS and TNG’s Command and Operations and their respective colors for TOS and then applying it to the game’s UI. They eventually compromised but the solution wasn’t a perfect one.  Also, the Delta is unique to the Enterprise. They had to make 90 different logos and the player gets to choose their own logo to represent their ship.

This thing just keeps getting better and better!

I am looking forward to the new content.  

I am enough of a nerd to want to see STO's version of the TOS people, places and things.

I have actually been to the real Vasquez rocks.  Not too unusual, they're 90 mins or so outside L.A.

 

But I am broke so I will not be spending any more money on this thing, except maybe piecemeal.

 

Maybe.

With the ease of switching ships ToS Thursdays is a great way for everyone to play and have fun without the burden of balancing teams. Ground is a blast, literally, for Brody, but balance is a lot harder to achieve. Brody with just a sharp stick for a weapon is still an engineer. I have too much firepower. I will gladly offer to remove my 'house of spam' kit but I don't want anyone feeling obliged to do the same.

Priority One's podcast were able to interview STO's Lead Designer Al "CaptainGeko" Rivera last Saturday to talk about the 3rd expansion to the game. Click on either of the following links to listen to this interview.

 

STO Forum Post: http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline/#/discussion/1215176/podcast-priority-one-podcast-269-agents-of-yesterday-with-al-rivera

P1 Website Link: http://priorityonepodcast.com/po269/

The chat with Geko starts at the 17 minute mark if anybody wants to just listen for themselves.

* It's kinda-sorta like a new "Faction".

* An "Expansion" has a lot more stuff than a "Season".

* New stuff all over the place in AoY.

* All new TOS Ships (plural).

* All New Characters start in the TOS era like a new faction.

* Kinda takes place just after the years of the Animated series.

* Picks up at the year 2270.

* "Future Proof" arc is the beginning of this expansion. (separate but interconnected)

* Nakul still involved.

* At least a new faction as the Romulan one was.

* TOS "Faction" will have it's own Tutorial, Story Arc, the Federation from 2270, own Quadrant, Own Sector blocks.

* Everyone will be able to have access to it.

* Expect to see other Actors "joining the game" beside Koenig and Chris Doohan.

   (he didn't want to ruin the surprise announcements)

* Several other's coming, Chase will be back also.

* Been planning this for over a year - since Season 9.5

* Story will make sense, characters not just squeezed in.

* Trailer has clues to what's coming.

* Hard to pick certain stuff from TOS because there is so much to use.

* [i:728f2120d1]Vasquez Rock[/i:728f2120d1] IS going to be available to see and experience.

* TOS 2270 Federation Factions will be included.

* No Cardassians.

* Can't play as a Klingon or Romulan in this "faction".

* No "separate" playability for them.

* They were not a member of the Federation during that time period.

* Lots of Blogs and specific details are forthcoming.

* Watch the TRIBBLE server for "some" of the things to come.

* Blogs will be at least twice a week if not more.

* This is not a "separate game" it does eventually tie back to the existing game.

* They thought about making a separate TOS game but decided since STO was doing so well it wouldn't be practical.

* Didn't want to split the STO community.

* New Fleet Holdings... not at this time. (They are working on one though)

* New Temporal Agent Bridge Officers.

* Described the "Temporal Back-step Power", (can be used on all Temporal starships)

* Talked about the two new Temporal Agent Packs.

* 11 ships in the large pack.

* TOS skins can be used on their 26th century counterparts.

* "Federation Faction" players will be able to use TOS ships.
