  this is going to be fun it will give my time to lvl my officers to the max lol yay event.

• comic1996

  You have to be level 50.

• kirimuffin

  People keep saying this, but I don't see where Cryptic ever said it. The way I understood it, you'll earn double regular XP if you're below 50, _and_ double Expertise if you're 50. This is the way QXP weekends have always worked. I don't see why they'd suddenly change that, and I don't see where people are getting the idea that they have.

  STO Academy newsletter brought me here, I'm glad I quit right before season 7, saw it was all going downhill and bailed. Enjoy your grind folks, this is your reward LOL.

• zalzany

  So you bailed on a free game, and boast about it... Thats like braging about how you stoped riding a bicycle. Some of us still like it and the few times I walk away or comeback for that matter, I don't think I ever had to boast... Meanwhile This will be good for those fed toons I was too lazy to be bothered leveling. The beuty of a free game is I can dump 30 bucks and play on an off for 6 months and feel less stupid then when I payed 15 a month on WoW, and payed monthly to watch the game get dumbed down

• dickymucks

  Bitter, much..?

  I wish there was a way you could meet legends on this game like Captain Picard, Wesley Crusher, Captain Riker on the Titan, or even do a mission with B-4. Also, I wish they could expand earth more, so you could see more, and have more missions!

• trekkerblues

  and Spock too...

• siryphas

  I agree, I'd like to do some missions on Earth. Or at least be able to visit places on Earth. You can with Andoria and Vulcan, but not OUR OWN planet.

• ghqcommand

  Just wait for an STO 2 in about 10-15 years folks. Tied in with Google maps so Earth can be explored 100%, tied in with Nasa to duplicate the solar system and the latest engine to bring it all to life with the most amazing graphics. OK, so I'm dreaming but don't you think we will never truly be happy until these lengths are taking to deliver MMO's.

• jstagg

  Picard is very old, Wesley now has super powers or some shit, "Admiral" Riker is now 74. B-4...well who knows lol

• sirokk

  You mean like the Captain's Table? Where NONE of the captains from Trek lore can ever be found?

• trekkerblues

  Even though they're old, I wish you could still meet them...

• martinusin

  @siryphas Well.. you might not be able to visit earth.. tho Its starfleet academy ..

• sean2448 @ Jan 20th, 2013 3:15PM

  be nice if some of holiday stuff returned like frosted boots to lobi store

• sean2448

  perfect time since starting a new toon

• trekkerblues @ Jan 20th, 2013 12:48PM

  Nice!

• commanderpickard @ Jan 20th, 2013 12:16PM

  More useless junk,start giving free Zen to people! lol

• autumnraynefyr

  They do, its called a stipend to lifers.. o,o'

• theultimatex @ Jan 19th, 2013 7:54PM

  will finish lleveling alts

• manfromearth82 @ Jan 19th, 2013 4:11PM

  *You’ll earn double Expertise rewards if your character is at max-level.

• erenor80 @ Jan 19th, 2013 3:36PM

  Are we sure this is the "real" Q? I remember this all-powerful being to be having fun FROM humans, not FOR them..maybe he got flu? Anyway, as long as this lasts, happy levelling :)

  This is Q's son, Q, from Voyager.

• michaelkeaton16 @ Jan 19th, 2013 2:59PM

  Awsome. :)

• matt8898 @ Jan 19th, 2013 2:30PM

  you should do double fleet credit also

• cougarman1968 @ Jan 19th, 2013 12:32PM

  i know on one of the xp weekends i went from commander to lt general on one of my klingons lol i love it

• cotp0maurafey @ Jan 19th, 2013 11:22AM

  It would be better to bring back the Breen ship for people to get a chance at it.

• ilandarak @ Jan 19th, 2013 11:19AM

  How about Zen instead of XP? Never happen, but it would be nice.

• matt8898

  i agree

• cheapfastneasy @ Jan 19th, 2013 11:00AM

  I was wondering when this was gonna happen again, it use to be every 3-4 months. I am just glad it is happpening again now.

• archanarchist @ Jan 19th, 2013 10:14AM

  lmao forums, were even bonuse exp is hated

• pwecangetlost

  Must. rage. at. everythiiiiing...

• evilgenius180 @ Jan 19th, 2013 9:39AM

  Cool. I love double XP weekends. I've got a Liberated Borg that I'm working on leveling up, so this sounds great.

• gradstudent1 @ Jan 19th, 2013 7:25AM

  I am leveling a new Fed engi toon. He is very happy about this promotion!!!! Thanks, devs.

• thejogger @ Jan 19th, 2013 6:49AM

  I'm glad they're doing this - if you've had a toon for ages then ok you don't need it but as has been said - it's for newer toons to benefit from this and smaller fleets will be helped too by this - it's ok for those of us that have 100 members but there are fleets of 10 or 20 who will be thanking them! :)

• truecyberaxe @ Jan 19th, 2013 6:41AM

  How about Double CXP

• mouerte @ Jan 19th, 2013 6:00AM

  Please stop your whining ppl we had this last year and it was great for doffing if your already lvl 50. Pulse really great for those ignored toons that you power leveled running out of Expertise for the rep system now. Thank you Cryptic :)

• therumancer23 @ Jan 19th, 2013 4:42AM

  This is probably useful to newer players since the game is FTP after all and I imagine we actually still have an influx of newbies. Despite being max level on 3 toons I'm not that greedy and have no problem with this. That said, I do hope the Anniversary event rumors are true and that arrives soon. I'd imagine with Christmas having just ended it might actually be a ways off though despite the actual date of the anniversary of the game's launch.

• jackdonner @ Jan 19th, 2013 1:05AM

  "Bring back the exocomps and reman doffs too please Brand Flakes ?!" Why does everyone think Branflakes has anything to do with this stuff?? He is the community manager..that is all..

• cpthardcover

  To be fair, BranFlakes - and TrailTurtle on the Champions side of the house - are the Community Managers and thus the ones who are supposed to be the players' links to the devs and vice versa.

• harugamma @ Jan 19th, 2013 12:39AM

  if they do up the level cap it won't be the same system since i am preety sure its fleet admiral after vice admiral so it mite be special ranks that you get to choose that give special bonuses like the reputations get this level and you can choose one of the following mission specialist chief medical researcher and so on wach with a unique bonus to your stats

• mal00

  well they have said when they raise the lvl cap to admiral they intend to allow players to utilise the their docked ships in some way either similar to doffs so u can send them on missions and possibly allow u to summon ships in battle to give u the actual feel of being an admiral and allow u to promote boffs to captain lvl to allow them to command the ships

• erenor80

  Please..please..use punctuation. Really.

• silverfaustx @ Jan 18th, 2013 11:49PM

  its already super easy to lvl in sto, my kdf got lvl 50 in 1 day !
