    From the stream today, these are my notes from listening

    1. Discovery Rep (I think this was a slip)
    2. Looking to older remaster TFOs
    3. Season 17 is Rise of Discovery
    4. Sharma and perhaps "others" voice acting
    5. Operation Riposte is a new TFO
    6. Earn ship tokens to earn zen store ships
    7. Unsure of token numbers but could span 3 TFO events
    8. Eventually will move to all TFO's once they dial in the process
    9. Discovery TV Show is bringing in a lot of new players
    10. Every T6 C-Store ship will be scaling when it's all said and done
    11. Will revisit T1-5 price adjustment
    12. Disco connie was pushed out because of the show schedule
    13. Also, they verbally teased the D7
    14. Sounds to me the Connie and D7 will be a choice pack (my opinion)
    15. S31 ship is coming (sooner than anyone thought)
    16. Early planning stages for a fall event with a halloween theme on the scale of the summer and winter events including a social space with mini games and costumes (Haunted castle with Dividians was used as an example)
    17. Implement a gifting tech
    18. EV Suit SLOT
    19. minimap pinging system to direct peoples attention (teamwork, Think Wow. I've never played so I don't know if this is good or bad)

    There maybe some things I missed however, based on what I am seeing on Reddit I think it's pretty accurate.

    I'm really liking these changes Smile

    It makes alt play a lot more appealing and as they put it makes it feel more like Star Trek that your captain can level all the way on one ship.

    Some of the information posted here is actually good towards QoL development. I always appreciate QoL.

    I also think it was a good decision to rethink pricing for T1 to T5 and the scaling for all T6 ships.

    They just need to start to consider making lobi, promo and lockbox ships and costumes account bound now.

    From the stream today, these are my notes from listening

    1. Sounds to me the Connie and D7 will be a choice pack (my opinion)
    I imagine a green lawn fully with nice beautiful people armed with pitchforks and torches jumping in circles with foam coming out of their mouths.

    Well you knew they wouldn’t be costume pieces and he chances of them being c store were slim.

    I agree but there was no mention of this in the stream.

    I also think if this change was made the price of these ships on the exchange would be pushed to the max as they would be more valuable. I also wouldn’t be surprised if they actually lowered the RNG chance if that’s even possible.

    Putting the most iconic and thought after ship in the most expensive box a 2nd time will not be received well.

    Never said it was - but it’s time they consider it.

    Such changes do come at a cost, but the value of these segment of ships not offering the benefits to those of cstore can’t be ignored either.

    The reason they would have to do all that you told they would is not just that, but an increase in the number of people now actively opening promos and lockbox for the same.

    There’s more value in my money when it’s account wide, but that’s me. On the flip side too, There are more people Now purchasing keys to open packs, or purchasing promo packs which is ofcourse in Cryptics best interest. Win win.

    Putting the most iconic and thought after ship in the most expensive box a 2nd time will not be received well.
    While I'm not overly bothered myself one way or the other as I moved away from the Connie again, I can see this one potentially reaching Delta Rising levels of rage. The only way I can think of them actually making it worse is if they decide to make that version of the Constitution a miracle worker cruiser so it comes with the 12th console slot.

    As far as the account unlocks go, I agree that they should be. The Old Republic does this without hurting the revenue streams, so there's little reason why it wouldn't work for STO. Alas, with each year passing, it's looking more and more unlikely they'll ever budge on that point.

    Honestly if Lobi, lock box and r&d ships were account bound I'd be more than willing to fork over real cash for them, the fact they are character bound is what's holding me back.

    Oh I don't disagree at all.

    I'm hoping that if they do not go the route of C-store (let's face it, they aren't), that they go to a direct to Infinity box. I say this out of selfishness because I have two unused T6 tokens in by bank.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Never said it was - but it’s time they consider it.

    Such changes do come at a cost, but the value of these segment of ships not offering the benefits to those of cstore can’t be ignored either.

    The reason they would have to do all that you told they would is not just that, but an increase in the number of people now actively opening promos and lockbox for the same.

    There’s more value in my money when it’s account wide, but that’s me. On the flip side too, There are more people Now purchasing keys to open packs, or purchasing promo packs which is ofcourse in Cryptics best interest. Win win.
    I agree. I think if limited ships were account side more people would spend to try and get those ships. For all we know it is something they are considering or working on. They would be stupid to not at least analyze the pros and cons of a change like that.
