Regarding the Endeavor system…
It’s a start. When I got a chance to do my first Endeavor, it was to participate in a queue I hadn’t done before, the Hive. I was excited to be able to jump into a queue immediately aside from the alerts… but then I realized that completing endeavors are account, not character, ‘bound’.
Suddenly my interest in the system went from YAY! to meh. I’ve done several endeavors since then, but it feels like an afterthought on Cryptic’s part. I personally think that right now they are far too easy to complete, too infrequent, and too limiting with them being tied to an account.
That said, I think all of these things can be fixed and it’ll be a fun addition. Until then, it’s underwhelming.

The ancient obelisk has a omnidirectional, but antiproton.
Wonderful show everyone, great job.
They make it sound like different houses at this time, had vastly different looksin costumes, that sounds like an interesting idea. As for the ridges/smooth foreheads, my theory on the Klingons is, follow the money. I think that is all driven by makeup budgets in tos.
Im not too impressed by the endeavour system, put me down as a meh.

Just to add to the Klingon theory here, I thought I’d give you guys a neat thing to look at. On Youtube there is a channel called Trekspertise who did a 2 part video on the History of the Klingon Race. I’ll post parts 1 and 2 here for you all to leave the listeners. It’s really worth the watch. They even talk about the AUgment Theory that caused the forehead ridges to flatten out leading to the TOS Klingons:

Ah the endevour system, the “help me play for 5 hours a day earning zsilver” system. I do enjoy anything that extends my game time inbbetween featured episodes. And the encouragement to play older ones from it is amazing. Going back and being able to relive the storylines of the past. Can’t beat that.
