Lifetime Perk
http://sto.perfectworld.com/news/?p=706971

I'm at ~600 days, so the 1k day ships won't be anything i'll be getting anytime soon. Plus i'm not actively subscribing any longer.

On the other hand, if they would -offer- players who have been longtime subscribers -without- being a Lifetimer, a Lifetime Subscription, i'd jump at it.

At my current 600 day mark, i've spent around 300 dollars in subscription fees (not counting C-Store purchases over the past 2.5 years). A Lifetime Subscription costs 299.99 dollars (on sale atm for 199.99 dollars). So i've already spent my share for what would otherwise have been a Lifetime subscription.

I honestly must say, I pity those who spent the 300 dollars up-front, 2.5 years ago. Granted, the game has improved tremendously since then, but it still has a long ways to go. And the conspiracy theorist in me, can't help but consider this latest "Lifetime Subscription sale + veteran rewards instantly", as yet another form of cash grab by Cryptic/PWE.

Glad to hear that I'm not the only one thinking that.

I don't see it like that, but ok.

new patch notes.
Some nice changes in there ref boff powers and the elimination of some shared cool downs Like grav well and energy siphon or hazard emitters and polarize hull

I have to say, I love the Chimera. I may use it for a while.

I really really like her as well. I just haven't figured out how to make her play well with my sci yet.

I haven't noticed the cooldown changes yet.

I started playing this just over a week ago. Enjoying it so far - focusing on the campaigns at the moment.

Season 7 dev blog #1.
Wasn't this new stf announced back in Season 3? Hasn't it been "announced" every season since?

New Dev Blog covering the new sector block being added

http://sto.perfectworld.com/blog/?p=712511

I see a Suliban system.

Most if not all the systems in this sector are Canon.

Also both the Archer System and Nerendra are here. I have feeling when ever we get the Mission that involves the Ent-C it will take place here.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #3672 on:** October 13, 2012, 03:42:49 AM »

Nimbus system, eh? Hm. Can we send a Suliban planet destroying weapon to that place?

That was the Xindi.

They re-enabled Redshirt test server this week, so I'm going to assume Season 7 is going to tribble soon.

I think the STO team takes inspiration from the Star Trek Star charts book on where to place their planets. They don't follow it 100%, if they did Iconia wouldn't be where it is now, but either in the new sector block or the one above it. H'atoria as well.

Layout of the Tau Dewa sector block follows what is shown closely.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #3677 on:** October 15, 2012, 03:30:44 PM »

The first Season 7 push is on tribble. The new Sector block does not appear to be accessible on tribble yet. Its on the Galaxy Map but there is no way to enter it.

Dev Blog 3 is out

And here is a Video interview with two Cryptic employees talking about 1k ships and the upcoming Reputation System

Joshmaul · « **Reply #3678 on:** October 15, 2012, 08:38:06 PM »

It seems WoW is finally starting to rub off on these guys. (Since that's the only game that I can think of off the top of my head that uses a rep grinding system. There are probably others, but... :roll Don't care.)

So much for only having one or two currencies
