• r3ad2 @ Jan 28th, 2013 7:42PM

  can't wait

• heyolejonnyboy @ Jan 28th, 2013 5:39PM

  Love the game can't wait for season 8... Can you please do a lifetime subscription sale for the Anny???? I will gladly spend 200 to sub!!!

• joyzhao @ Jan 28th, 2013 4:40PM

  cool

• ashlarien @ Jan 28th, 2013 12:59PM

  Small little request: can we get New Romulus as a transwarp destination? The other hub stations have the access, after all. My ultimate dream list includes better scaled interiors... I'm pretty sure my Captain could park her Danube in her quarters and still have room for a desk, bed and aquarium.

• overlapo

  I think it is part of one of the embassy upgrades. You can go directly from the fleet base to the embassy. Of course if you don't want to wait, just transwarp to the base and use the transwarp ring there to go to the gateway system. That puts you 5 seconds away from Tau Dewa.

• mkilczewski

  Yeah, good luck with that one. Word it this way, and it might actually happen: "Hey Superstars, think you guys can screw up the camera enough, so it bounces around all over the place, so that I can't even focus on my character, when she's indoors?"

• sirokk @ Jan 28th, 2013 9:37AM

  I didn't know that the Breen liked doing Air Guitar! :P

• skydoc1 @ Jan 28th, 2013 8:15AM

  Awesome game - can wait for the weekend!!

• ehlim @ Jan 28th, 2013 8:01AM

  I've been with this game for a year now. Let me say congratulation Cryptic for the amazing job! I've seen and played your hard work and I trust in your commitment to grow this game even better. Thank you sincerely for so many hours of fun you have given me, and for the many more to come! :)

• shamoul12345 @ Jan 28th, 2013 7:30AM

  i been here since day 1 and if i knew it was becoming F2P i wouldnt of spent over £300, in my eyes they should of refunded that to me,

• lucianazeta

  Stop whining.

• ghqcommand

  Your investment will be returning to you for the life of the game, I assume you are talking about Lifetime. The whole thing is not about subscription and £300 is nothing its pennies. If you don't agree you probably shouldn't even be playing a game in my opinion. Would it not be ironic to feel that £300 is a lot of money yet you spent it on a frigging computer game? This is also not the place to complain about such things. This post is about positive event coming and I for one am looking forward to marking the 3rd year as the best yet but not best to come.

• kvet

  Why would you even bother posting that? Just go away and let those of us who enjoy this game have fun.

• nynjah12

  Gotta love people like this......

• nycarae

  That's the thing with being here on day one. Most things in life are at their peak price at day one. Goes to show, being first isn't always "logical".

• captaingthing @ Jan 28th, 2013 7:05AM

  Been on STO since the start and its been an amazing journey and look forward to the 3 year celebrations. My only beef with the game currently as a lifetime member is the amount of money I have spent on master keys and still have not received a top drop ship. Think the game going forward should just be based on either membership or working towards a goal in the game and not based on sheer luck of the draw who gets the best drops, which can be someone F2P who's been on the game for 2 weeks. Come on PW reward loyalty!!!

• lucianazeta

  Tip, buy keys with Zen, about 50 of em, sell keys for EC, this should net you enough cash to get any reasonably priced lockbox ship, I got my Temporal Destroyer this way and I am never opening boxes again to pray for a ship I won't get.

• kvet

  (and to clarify lucianazeta's comment: you can buy Zen with Dilithium. The Dilthium exchange is in massive recession right now and Zen -- FREE ZEN -- is easier to come by than ever. No one, I mean, NO ONE, should complain about a lack of anything. If you put your time in, you can have unlimited EC/Dil/Zen and every perk thereof without spending a time. If you don't have the time, don't want to spend the time (and are unwilling to shortcut that by putting in real money), then frankly, you don't deserve unlimited wealth and all the perks of the game. You don't need to gamble to get anything -- you just need to be willing to put in time). That said, I'm a lifer and I got the Jem Escort on my 3rd box. *shrug* Yes, pure luck. Still, didn't pay one red penny for the keys, just my time in grinding Dilithium (which is pretty easy with 4 KDF toons, I might add).

• kitsunetears @ Jan 28th, 2013 7:02AM

  Heres to hoping they get the Gorn specs irght and add some decent tailor options. Fed get everything KDF gets uncle daves hand me downs? also...fyi.. some gorn species actualy had TAILS so how about you add that too guys. not to mention what about these new ships your comming out with? Only one type of gorn ship? 2 of Nausicaan? everything else non KDF and Klingon ships? Why not add a bit more to make us feel more like were a part of a canon MMO instead of half-jobbing it. THAT would be a worthy anniversery.

• ashlarien

  I primarily play a FED character, but I'd be thrilled to see some more KDF love. How about some Orion ships? Maybe develop some Vesta-class competitors for the Klingons? Oooh, even better, pull out that Slipstream-capable Breen ship from the books as the KDF's halo ship!

• zev92 @ Jan 27th, 2013 5:20PM

  And can we finally have a full kdf faction after three years.

• trekkerblues @ Jan 27th, 2013 1:34PM

  I feel like it was just yesterday that the advertisement of STO opening day on Syfy aired.

• jim625 @ Jan 27th, 2013 5:46AM

  hope I can get all my omega gear before then ^^

• nyiad @ Jan 26th, 2013 2:17PM

  Here's to hoping for a 2nd faction being added ! :D

• sc0rpi0be

  lol you mean 3th

• nyiad

  No, 2nd; as in 2.

• morboo

  So KDF and FED are same faction now?

• darthpostal

  What is this "KDF" you keep mentioning? According to all major updates, there is only one faction in this game - FED.

• oakland4life

  What is this ''FED'' u speak of? seeing saucer ships with sticking out warp nacelles exploding left and right in PvP, there is only one faction in this game... KDF!

• jeay12 @ Jan 26th, 2013 1:26PM

  Thats great. My 3rd aniversary ..... I never was a real "Trekkie" but this game made me watch the series^^ Keep up the good work!

• steve14428 @ Jan 26th, 2013 12:47PM

  Been playing since day 1 and I have to say you've done one helluva job keeping the game interesting and fresh! While nothing is perfect my experience has been 99% positive. Keep up the great work PWE and here's to things to come! I look forward to going thru the bajoran wormhole and visiting the gamma quadrant! Make it happen! Live long and Prosper!

• a90211

  If you're a VA then you can just use the transwarp coduit in the souther Sirus sector block to get to the Gama quadrant :}

• anazonda

  Yea no... That gate is to the Gamma Orionis Block, wich is in the far edge of the Beta quadrant.

• r3ad2

  no, it is still in the Alpha quadrant, just at the very edge of it

• lassitim @ Jan 26th, 2013 10:05AM

  I"ve been playing the game since Day 1 and I still love it. Thank you to STO for the constant updates and growth of the game. Here's to 3 more great years!!

• bekstorm0cz

  Yup STO is more like tetris or such as .... kinda drug like adictive :)

• evilgenius180 @ Jan 26th, 2013 9:17AM

  I started playing in August 2011 and I still love this game. Other MMORPGs have come and gone for me, but I'm still playing and enjoying STO. I'm looking forward to the 3-year bash.

• daddytrek @ Jan 26th, 2013 4:29AM

  Me and my wee 7yr old son love playing STO. Well Done Chaps!!

• pwecangetlost @ Jan 26th, 2013 4:26AM

  Congrats guys! Been a good year this year with lots of moving forward and a big expansion in the staff. Hope things get even better again this year! :D

• maverick65 @ Jan 25th, 2013 6:25PM

  Congratulations STO on a job well done....thank you.

• sudonami @ Jan 25th, 2013 6:11PM

  So who want to have an epic dance party one ESD or Qonos durring the event?

• evilgenius180

  The question is: who doesn't want that? :D

• r3ad2
