Re: The Endeavor system; I think it has good potential to encourage players to jump into less common queues. Endeavor sent me into a Core Assault pug the other day, and the queue populated much quicker than it would usually.

Honestly, I wish Star Trek Discovery was including more from Star Trek Online.
I don’t know why TPTB keep going BACKWARDS in time with prequels from STAR TREK ENTERPRISE, STAR TREK DISCOVERY, STAR WARS prequels, CLONE WARS, at least ROGUE ONE was after a sequel THE FORCE AWAKENS. Even the Kelvin timeline is parallel of the TOS timeline instead of TNG or something after VOY.
STO has shown–repeatedly–that you can tell great *Star Trek* stories in the future with advances in technology and in the lore of Star Trek. Also, STO devs have shown themselves to have done deep research on Star Trek–without having to hire external fans who are knowledgeable about Star Trek.
I know that it’s suppose to be reassuring that STAR TREK DISCOVERY hired these Star Trek “super fans” to make sure they are following what is or isn’t “Star Trek”, but it just underscores how little TPTB know the lore, and despite months of delays haven’t done the research themselves to understand what’s gone before so that they themselves can build upon intrinsically instead of needing a 3rd-party edit them.

P.S. I would like that STDisco EVA space suit and the U.S.S. Shenzhou in STO, and of course the uniforms, both the regular blue uniforms and the tan desert outfits.

Uniforms and gear of course. Gotta have me some ‘blue fabric from Switzerland’, right? Perhaps a T6 Shenzhou, or even a T6 Discovery, though I’m betting both of those are slated for a Lockbox or Promo Pack rather than the C-Store. (Prove me wrong, Cryptic. Please, prove me wrong.)
Not sure what else there is in there. One of Saru’s ‘I see dead people’ species as a BOff? Maybe a Klingon sarcophagus as a dining table for my ship interior? 😀
I think when Spock left Vulcan to go to Starfleet Academy, Sarek objected to this profusely, with the result being that the two of them did not talk to each other for a couple of decades. (Stubborn Vulcans.) That’s probably enough time for Sarek and Amanda Grayson to adopt some Human girl and raise her to adulthood without Spock ever knowing a thing about it, ‘cuz he ain’t talkin’ to daddy anyways.
Obviously the whole “She’s Spock’s long lost sister!” thing is a fanservice move on the part of CBS, maybe even a lame one. But there is a path for it to exist in canon.

I would love to see the new Klingon House Ridges in STO along with the new Type 2 Hand Phaser. That phaser is sexy. I’m not sure how I feel about the bat’leth but that Klingon Dagger, we don’t have that in game as a usable weapon (If you play KDF You can put a leg dagger on your uniform) so it would be awesome. Imagine dual weilding a Bat’leth and a dagger. Yes I’m slightly off my rocker.

I agree with Gecko on Discovery, thanks for dropping by Gecko, by the way.
cq) Ship Skins/Ship Variants, New temporal missions, a Klingon uniform revamp.
P.s. Cryptic, just what is the idea making the console drop every time you run the mission.
wonderful show everyone.
