Star Trek online.... Not quite a photobomb....

In Star Trek online last night I decided to step away from the normal missions and check out the current featured episode.

The episode for the latest patch is a reworked version of some of the "older" content, changing part of the Cardassian mission chain. Streamlining it and making it for the most part a better experience.
I've enjoyed it so far. There have been some moments of semi frustration on going up against some NPC's in space that are at least for me overpowered so need to be handled with care to defeat. I recall the older missions as being a lot more frustrating due to the larger "swarms" of ships involved.
Thankfully the fleet support talent is a literal life saver.
The new episode adds a lot more "lore" and really has a better storytelling motivation for each mission.

Graphics seem to have been updated as well.
The photobomb (videobomb) moment came as a surprise to me during the Jabberwocky mission.
I went to do the next part and bumped into a character that I thought I recognised. I'm not one to bother a player, even a famous one. I've mentioned him and his youtube videos many times and have to say that if not for them I would know a lot less about the game. His free-to-play series matched my own return to the game and has kept me interested in it.

I took a screenshot to capture the moment and was happy. This blog post seemed to be a decent place to wave my "it happened to me" moment.

I did think to myself that my character is now "background guy #3", akin to these adds.... :)
