The 12th Fleet: Starbase Valhalla

It’s time for an update to the Star Trek Online roadmap! Want to know what’s coming in the world of STO? Here’s some things for you to look forward to:

More Disco stuff means more content either way, and that's a good thing.

But can we just take a moment to see that A T6 RISAN CORVETTE IS ON THE LIST!!! I never did get the original, and I've always wanted to pick that literal dreamboat up!

think you can fish it up from the phoenix packs.

thats about the only thing thats exciting for me. the rest is meh

I've had terrible Phoenix luck, so no dice there.

Earning ships somehow in June could be cool, depending on how they do it. And even if you don't like the Disco episodes, it still means there's more content that spills out of the missions and into the rest of the game anyways.

the same way they always do it. 14 day grind over 20 days

True. Although hey, a few minutes of work a day for a free ship, I can deal!

I'm curious for details on "Starships leveling with you"... They've tinkered with it at least twice now? And I was guessing that-that was a test bed for future implementation. However, I think they top out at T5, IIRC.

So, I wonder if that'll just be applied retroactively to all T-1 --> T-5 ships, or if they'll actually do something different--like an "Upgrade Kit" approach.

Adding the T-6 Connie, pretty much changed the landscape in the context of previously argued development philosophy when it came to Tiering ships. Well, that and Lock Boxes I suppose.

Still, I'm curious to see the results, while simultaneously wondering about the future longevity of STO going forward, if Cryptic is finally giving folks things they've been asking for since launch.

It's hard to tell, given exactly what you brought up. Is their strategy that every ship from any time has to be competitive at end-game for the monies? At which point, if scaling ships are being widely inplemented, why have no less than 3 of the prime universe Connies available? The T1 original, T2 refit, and T6 refit?

From a consistency perspective, it doesn't make any sense.

sto is more than likely just in a holding pattern til they either decide to actually do something or have the licence expires.

word on the grapevine was something to the effect of them working on a magic the gathering game.
