One thing almost certain thou (based on leaks), is that it will involve Level 60 cap, and Mk XIII / Mk XIV gear.

Well shit.  I just bought a set of mk xii rom plas beam arrays!

Though I must admit, my bfaw fleet mogai works rather well.

I'd like to see how the powers are broken down into those different groupings, i.e. which ones are mechanic and which are fabrication etc.  Because to me, a lot of the powers I use on the ground right now don't fit into either of the categories..

Icons for anything higher then XII have been in for a while, so have voice overs for ranks above Vice Admiral. But I wouldn't be surprised if they did increase it.

I added a bunch more screens to my album

Reminds me of that moment in Return of the King when Denethor looks out from Minas Tirith at the huge horde at his gates. Like "ohhhh SHIT!"

The Mark XIII and XIV items are always in the files in case they do a level increase. Don't ask me when but the expansion is very likely to include this if they add the delta quadrant.

So I'm the only one getting crashes.

Dev Blog on First Contact Day/Day of Honour/Republic Day

http://community.arcgames.com/en/news/star-trek-online/detail/3040013

[Darkthunder]

Not really news. It's the same First Contact Day event we had last year. Just that Romulan Captains get Republic Day. One thing I'm uncertain of, is if Romulan's also get access to their ally's version (i.e First Contact / Day of Honor).

[Tuskin38]

There is a small mission to go with it where you test new anti-undine weapons against disabled Undine ships in your Faction's flagship according to audio files mined from the latest holodeck patch.
There is also VO for all the Flagship BOFFs.

Same rewards as last year, but something to do other then talk to all the crew.

The mission is hinted at in the blog text

"Commander Jarok is looking for assistance from brave and valiant captains of the Republic."
"speak with Captain Shon on an important matter concerning the security of the Federation."
"Captain Koren has a special task to complete before she and her crew can enjoy some well-deserved shore leave"

I hope this means we will finally get to fly around in that Utopia Planitia space map Taco made for FCD but was never used. Even if it is only for the mission.

Good for them.  I still think that it's yet another needless nerf to a system that worked decently as it stood.  Admittedly, they're right in saying that they can't keep adding more and more rep grinds as they would discourage people from creating new characters.
From where I'm standing (sitting?) though, it seems that they can't/won't think of something else to take the place of 'reputation' in new releases.

Dev Blog on the Kit Revamp

[Tuskin38]

The 'new' Risa map was stealth updated on tribble. They updated the map, but I didn't pay attention much to know they changed so I'll let SFC tell you what is different.

They've added Hover Surfboards to the vendor. They're like the Jetpacks as in there are rental ones and purchasable ones, and there are new starts and finish lines on the water so I'm going to assume there will be a race with them.

And a bunch of new swimwear, which is restricted to Risa. So you don't need to worry about people in Bikini's running around ESD

Awesome!  Shame about not being able to use them off Risa though.  

EDIT
Eeeeep those prices had better come down  :eek

Btw, those new kits seem interesting.  It reminds me of how I had to build and customize my webbing (belt kit) when I was a soldier. 
That devblog was a pain to read though. 

[captain_obvious]

gah ffs, tribble won't let me beam down to risa, claiming that it couldn't get the map names from map manager -.-

EDIT

It seems that they've locked out risa for the time being.
