Yeah someone on the STO Forums looking at the Nettests, their Boston server is acting up.

I was having the same problem yesterday as well.

It could be my ISP, someone with the same ISP as me posted in network connections thread with the same problem.

Bit soon, isn't it? Or is all the new story and event content playable on Tribble?

The patch that added the space adventure zone re-enabled Silver Access.

Mean while, still not have played Sphere of Influence because of the server issues. I watched Yuzral play it instead. Looked pretty awesome, but I was expecting a tie in with Season 8 and the Voth other then just the Jourat Space Gate.

Maybe there is missions in Season 8.

Don't hold your breath. Cryptic seem more inclined to add more repeatable events, rather than progressing the storyline. It's been almost 4 years now, and we're -still- in 2409. Hell, move into 2410, and you could make a Feature Episode or two about the return of the Nexus.

Now that would be cool!!

Which means we'd have to get Shatner, Whoopi, and Sir Pat for the "echoes" they left in it, heh heh.

But I notice that too - 2409 is a damned BUSY year, it seems!

Unlike the shows, many episodes in STO happen in quick succession, rather than being separated by roughly a week as on TV.

Yeah, but...Borg, Elachi, Iconians, Tal Shiar, Borg, Borg, Klingons, Cardassians, Borg, the Mirror Universe, Borg, Tholians, the Dominion, Borg, Borg and Borg all in one year?

Most are being controlled by the Iconians in some fashion.  For the sake of argument, I'd say that if you had tons of pawns to move against your enemies, and they were discovering your secrets and rapidly turning against you, a safe bet would be to deploy them all at once.

Oh, if you don't know already you can get 2 Purple Quality Obelisk Swarmers in the FE, you have to activate all the consoles in the 'observation room' backtrack to the dead end ones, they will have them.

I noticed that too, playing my Reman Fed-tac freeing the prisoners...it's like "God damn it, you morons, what the hell are you doing?!"

I was having issues with boffs just going on strike and freezing in place, even though they had a clear line of sight on me!
