Bunch of VO added to KDF missions this last patch, more coming this week.

Someone asked Branflakes on twitter when Starfleet missions were going to get some more VO, he replied with "Stay tuned :)"

Also new Dev Blog

At some point in the future they're going to give a way a free T1 C-Store BoP

All positive and no negative.  Some reflection.
There I was, thinking that it was going to be a "yeah, we haven't been great.  This is what we think went wrong and this is what we learned from it" kind of thing. 
Oh well.  Happy new year.

No one likes to do that.  Point towards one developer who has apologized at the end of the year for a game that has not failed.

Two things to get out of that, a new expansion next year and they plan on exploring the Delta Quadrant more.

A lack of overall failure does not indicate that everything went perfectly.  Can you honestly look any of us in the eye and say that everything to do with STO went smoothly this year? That there have been no problems, mistakes etc?

they didn't outright say everything was perfect either, but Farshot's point is still valid.

They didn't say out right that everything was perfect, but there was no hint of any kind of failures. 
It's no good reflecting if you don't take the good and the bad.  Hey, maybe there really was more good than bad, but to imply that there was no bad at all just smacks of propaganda.

Or perhaps I'm being too nit-picky at a choice of title that doesn't quite fit the text...

I'm with captain_obvious on this one. A proper reflection would be to mention both the good and bad of the past year, as well as some hints as to what they might to do in the coming year, to improve not just their game, but their method of doing things. Instead, what we get is a post which says "This is what we added during 2013, this is what we're considering adding for 2014". Not a word about what they might've done wrong (apparently, they are perfect and flawless), or what they might do to do better.

According to Kestrel there will be a Featured Episode this anniversary like last year.

I heard A rumour that each faction will get their own Unique ship as well, but I don't have a source on that.

I asked my 8-ball, if the probability of it being an Escort is over 90%, and it said YES. Mark my words, the 8-ball speaks the truth :D

Last Anniversary it was a Cruiser, year before it was a Cruiser.

KDF Stream today they gave out some freebies, a Mogh and a T3 KDF ship of the Winners Choice.

Branflakes also said the war between the Klingons and Federation is going to get some sort of update, I'm assuming story wise, in 2014.

I missed some of what bran was talking about, but it sounds like they're working on Saving 'build' set ups, power tray layouts that you can easily swap between.

Ick, what is this hair? it looks nothing like any of the other hair styles in the game. Looks like they ripped it out of EVE Online
