Delta Recruitment is coming to Star Trek Online and it begins April 2nd. This will be a new in game event available for novice and veteran players alike which will lead up to the Iconian War coming to the game. The event will give players the opportunity to earn unique rewards.
The Iconian War has been brewing for more than 5 years and the Delta Recruitment event will unveil the invasion of the ancient Iconians wishing to reassert their rule over the Star Trek galaxy, so it’s pretty exciting that players will be able to take steps to bring the conflict to an end through a story-driven wartime experience in Star Trek Online which will span over several months.
New captains created during the Delta Recruitment in game event will earn progression based rewards. These will include gear, upgrade materials, and valuable numerics. There will be week long events and players will be able to work through these within personal and community-wide goals. Folk already playing Star Trek Online will receive a new character slot to enable them to create a Delta Recruit and each of the progression based rewards has an account wide unlock so players can keep their other characters up to speed while they level a new recruit.
And I thought I had finished getting all my toons to 50 finally, guess 1 more won't hurt. I've been toying with the idea of a borg toon, hopefully I can try that if it works, or maybe a trill.
Any other interesting character ideas that might be fun to try?
So conflicted here. I have way too many toons as it is, BUT I am curious to see what the perks are for the whole account.
I'll definitively be following to dev blogs to see where this goes.
Like so many other little additions to the game, I still have to wonder if this is not ultimately a test bed for us to beta a new system--in the case server tracking particular events. Which could be used for anything from Fleet Territory/ advancement metrics to PvP Territory control bonuses.
Somehow I don't think that this is strictly a new-player drive. But it could be if Cryptic is getting quotas from PWE.
I have a low level Joined Trill I was planning to play..and was sorta considering a new Romulan...I may not make the Romulan but I definitely will save and re-roll the Joined Trill for this event.
