Season 6 Dev Blog #26

Starbase Featured Project #5
From time to time, special projects will become available for fleets. With these special projects you can unlock new features to give your starbase more crew, more customization, and more recognizable features from Star Trek! Be quick, though – when a special project becomes available, it will only be available for a limited time. You must start the project before the end of the feature. Once you’ve started the project, though, you can keep working on it until it’s finished, even if the special event ends – but remember, you can only work on one special project at a time, so you’ll want to finish quickly to make sure that you can work on the next special feature!
Our next special feature is, “History and Movement”. While the Federation has been moving steadily into the future, they’ve always found it important to stop and take a look at the past, remembering the important events along the way that lead them to where they are today. Klingons also find great honor in their advances and celebrate with glorious banners and symbols of the Empire.
Upon completion of this special project, your starbase’s interior decoration will be improved. Klingons will hang banners and upgrade the transporter area, while members of Starfleet will acquire panels depicting the history of the Enterprise. This special project will be available around 10AM PDT on September 6, 2012, until around 10AM PDT on September 20, 2012.
Keep checking back to see what’s next on the special project list! We hope you are enjoying Season 6: Under Siege and we’ll see you in-game.

More fluff for PvE carebears, what happened to season 6 being about PVP? I'd like to go seige some starbases of enemy fleets, but can't.

This is merely adequate. The artwork is of mediocre quality. No customization. It doesn't add any functionality to your starbase. It's a lot of resources to spend on something that does absolutely nothing except to add a modicum of aesthetic display. Maybe big fleets who are highly active can rapidly scrape up 200k dili but smaller fleets will find this to be not worth the time. That doesn't mean that this project isn't welcome, but I think many of us feel that when the devs dedicate time to projects like this that we aren't getting much functionality out of the game. I think the key to exciting and approachable projects is adding interactivity within your starbase, or adding features which provide the players with more options. Artwork like this is more akin to veteran rewards.

i wonder if they will have featured projects that's half-off but you have to get it within a week or a certain time span like featured eps
poopbang @ Sep 14th, 2012 4:24PM
Can we get a new blog post? I like reading these and it would be nice if we could get one at least every week.
donbp1974 @ Sep 10th, 2012 11:33PM
One more thing. Why can't Fleet Credits be used to buy these upgrades, They take just as long to earn. Yes i know that dilithium forces people to bung a credit card in but the smaller fleets are missing out on good upgrades. If you insisted on making the game Free to Play (which is a very clever marketing ploy for extra revenue btw). Then its only fair to give the little guy a fighting chance don't you think.
donbp1974 @ Sep 10th, 2012 11:25PM
I don't mind the projects, the only waste if time one was the recreation area upgrade. for us surposedly to relax in. But who has time to relax, the second iv'e finished 1 project, i'm off bouncing around an asteroid again mining dilithium. And why on earth can't you make a mini game out of the 3D chess tables. Other than that. Keep up the good work.
badname834854 @ Sep 10th, 2012 5:14PM
So - the Ambassador class is good enough for wall art, but most certainly not for playing. Gotcha...
mrsterling847
Would you like the aircraft carrier implemented as well to drive around the san fran harbor?
echoslockjaw @ Sep 10th, 2012 2:32PM
did anyone notice they forgot one fo the enterprise aircraft carriers? the CV-6 USS Enterprise, Enterprise class. it served durring WW2
aoav160
No I am not suprised, in the past the devs have shown their lack of military history.
mrchip69
I see it. Its right there in between the clipper ship and the space shuttle. Second panel from the left, right where it should be.
echoslockjaw
um no mrchip69. the picture of the aircraft carrier they have is the CVN-65. the are missing its WW2 predisesor the CV-6 USS Enterprise, it was only the most decorated ship in US Navy HISTORY

Couldn't be with it a table in the open room up the enterprise story ? why kdf do have reunion table active since tier 0 and not the fed ? hope it will be add without need for dilithium, wouldn't be right i think .
warpedcore @ Sep 9th, 2012 5:48AM
The text is obviously low rez and it clips into the wall. Most of the names Enterprise are unreadable because it's either buried into the wall, or just unreadable due to the large pixels. The last thing that irks me, is the fact that the 1701-F was buried behind a potted plant. they have a dozen feet in the other direction that they could have shifted the design, to keep all of the ships visible.
treepete12345 @ Sep 8th, 2012 7:26AM

bulovski @ Sep 8th, 2012 4:42AM

teroknor2012 @ Sep 7th, 2012 9:14PM

treepete12345 @ Sep 7th, 2012 5:41PM
is there any more old class ship and will the enterpriseE return safe with captin date in commend any of voyagers old crew return in the game
anagrojaneway @ Sep 7th, 2012 5:32AM
If 200K dilithium seems like a lot for your fleet to come up with, stop now. Seriously. It gets a lot worse the higher you go in levels - if your fleet is not large enough to fill a 200K dilith project, you do not have enough resources to build a starbase. Not saying that to be curt, it's just the facts.
rreuben @ Sep 6th, 2012 1:29PM
Project has been done on fed starbase tier 3, the images are blury and not placed outside of the border, pics of proof. and not placed right for viewing. [IMG]http://i48.tinypic.com/6yzml0.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i47.tinypic.com/21jbr05.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/2gxighu.png[/IMG]

Probably bad clipping with the rounded platform. Cost notwithstanding, this project almost feels like a mere afterthought.
oracle54
Actually, putting the F behind a potted plant was probably on purpose...LOL
alexraptorr @ Sep 6th, 2012 12:42PM
Why is there a Picture of the U.S.S. Constitution where the H.M.S. Enterprise should be? Because H.M.S. Is a british naval registry, and the Constitution is an american frigate. Second, frigates like the Constitution did not even exist in 1775.

alexraptorr
And your point with that link would be?
crgkhb @ Sep 6th, 2012 10:57AM

vinru821

echelonalpha @ Sep 6th, 2012 8:09AM

raulblanco7 @ Sep 6th, 2012 6:42AM
200.000 dilithium is nothing for a fleet, dont wait too big things for it...
lirdek @ Sep 6th, 2012 6:11AM
how to make a game fall....
listerstorm82 @ Sep 6th, 2012 6:01AM
WTF? Yes of course i love the wall of History BUT. Man rly STO youre kidding me? 200k Dili for that? Whats coming next? 200k dili for new Floor or 200k for more flowers? I would pay 200k dili for a new episode. 200k for something what the STO team did in a 20 min food break ......... Maybe STO accept my selfmade pictures of the Enterprice as payment for zen ^^
zalzany

mysharon42

tinead51

eristhevorta @ Sep 6th, 2012 6:00AM
Meow, don't get me wrung, I like to have the Enterprise history on the fleet base as well, it's just been ... very quiet about development lately.
sentinel64 @ Sep 6th, 2012 4:50AM
That looks nice and I am sure both the Fed and KDF fleets I am with will start it up..., but... what would be really great is some real content to play... instead of filler to try and keep our attention away from the rapidly becoming stale current content. I will do my STFs (for the gear) and the Fleet Action (for the Fleet Ships), but I really would like to see content that reinvigorates the game... especially the End-game.
