So Branflakes, what's coming next?

Nearly exhausted the current calendar and I am impatient :p

I'll just leave this here for ya.

Yep! A shuttle 5-man is scheduled for release next week! I'll be posting a Dev Blog about it on Wednesday or so.

Because of the UGC publishing bug going on right now, we are going to move "Foundry Challenge #2 Voting (Forums)" to the 25th.

Then, comes May And we've got something special planned that will happen throughout the month, but I can't share details juuuuuust yet -- I will say that it is very community oriented.

But, please know that the team is "heads down" preparing, designing, creating and programming for Season 6's launch (current ETA is mid-June) -- Season 6 is slated to bring Fleet Starbases, a new ground invasion, new 5-man events, new 20-man events that take place at your Fleet Starbase, Starbase construction missions, the beginning of PvP overhaul, and new Foundry updates.

I am so excited for you to see it all, and we will share more details as we get closer. It's going to be an EPIC spring/summer for STO!

Cheers,

Brandon =/\=

Fleet Starbase/ is that a base for The Fleet your in or Your own personal Starbase?

Very very nice ... Still hoping that fleets can invite players from outside their fleets (friends and allies from other fleets) to join in these missions!

And here comes the 1 million Latinum question:

How much of the above will actually launch, WITH Season 6, and how much of it will launch -after- or during Season 6?

In most other MMO:s, what Cryptic terms as "Seasons" is supposed to be a "regular content update". More often than not, the "content" is absent at the launch of the Season updates. I am ofcourse referring to content such as Episodes / Story Content. Not systems updates like Ground Combat 2.0, or the DOff system.

This, very much so. Especially for some larger fleets that have 2 or 3 sub fleets for their other factions, and alternate toons, etc.

as well as hundreds of threads of people with no form of long term memory asking why we need daily restarts after a complete overhaul of the system.
