So much has been happening in game that it's been like a whirlwind of content. Or more accurately a constant stream, one thing after another that's bordering on fatigue. All of my own making. I've chosen to do and participate in it all and included alts. Since last time, I've been trying to do as much of it as is possible. PC and Xbox.
On Xbox the Red Alerts finished...
And the 'current' main event is ongoing. Synth Wave is still a PITA to go through.
I'm still a bit bemused at the number of players in the TFO that keep getting killed; And as with the PC version the number of players in general who spend cash on the game but are less than effective. I'm no meta master by a long shot but experience shows my 'free' event ship and fit to be far better.
Most of my STO time outside of the usual daily character maintenance has been unexpected gamepaly with my wife. After years(?) of 'give it a go'... she has....
I choose to tag along on my Discovery character as he was around the same level. Not that that really matters in STO with auto balancing for group content; It all levels out. Old alt habits die hard.
The 11th anniversary is ongoing and has provided daily rewards.
There's also the
removal of most ship restrictions across faction lines. Which really opens things up.... I've no stake in that nor any consideration on how it effects the 'health' of the game. I'm sure the meta heads are spinning in very pro and con ways.
The
new recruit event is also active concurrently and again a
broader take on the 'recruit' character mechanics. A far cry from the lack luster Discovery characters. Which in retrospect seems appropriate.
While I created a 'nu' KDF character to have a look'see I was surprisingly ok with the custom options of these nu in game Discovery Klingons.
I've never been one for story/dialogue but at least there isn't that much different from the normal KDF starter tutorial. It's a shade streamlined and more helpful than I remember.
I think I'll be deleting the look'see character.I did go ahead and delete a previous KDF character and recreated her, an Orion science KDF character to take advantage of this new recruit event.
I've no idea when I'll play the character, never mind work out a best route for gaining all the 'recruit' specific rewards.
As for the daily gifts, they are worth while. Although I've seen some say that the free T5 ship token is underwhelming and should've been a T6 choice instead.
Speaking of which I was happy to choose a T5 I'd never have gotten otherwise. Plus it's a boon to my wife's character. I've no idea of stats but maybe they chose a T5 reward because the majority of players are hamstrung with the gap between the last free level 40 ship and aiming for a T6. I prompted her to get the T5
Avenger(which I choose a while ago in another giveaway); Maybe a Dyson ship would have been better? Maybe, maybe not, no need to over-over-complicate things. I went for the
T5 Andorian Khyzon Escort. A ship I always liked the look of. Maybe my distance game meta osmosis kicked in(a few years to late).
It's been fun to fly. I took the best of the rest
fit from the winter event ship and changed a few bits. I've been messing with and have been enjoying it.
It may not be tanky but it's really fun.
The 5 free lockbox keys didn't' give anything of note.
The
Experimental Upgrade Token is always a good thing to get. I've 3 unused now.... I need to get back to seeing which ships need them more.
The
free Kor Uniform..... meh, but maybe something may be of use on a KDF tailoring trip.
Free Bank and inventory slots are again nice to get.
They've been also doing a lot of updates to FDK content (graphics etc); Always nice to see and get even if I'll probably not see or notice much of it.
So much content so little time, the journey goes on!
