3-Year Anniversary Event is Live!
By PWE_BranFlakes @ January 31, 2013 at 10:00am
To celebrate our three-year anniversary, from now through 10am PST on Thursday, February 14th, Q is hosting parties and giving away prizes on Earth Spacedock and Qo'noS. Talk to Q each day and help him coordinate the guest list for the party and receive a fun reward for your efforts.
Additionally, we have released a special Feature Episode — "Temporal Ambassador" — that stars Denise Crosby reprising her role as Lieutenant Tasha Yar from Star Trek: The Next Generation. To play this mission, Level 6 Federation Lieutenants can speak with Engineer Kani on Earth Spacedock and Level 22 KDF Commanders can speak with Engineer Tum'Era on Qo'noS. You can also access it from your Mission Journal (default key "J").
Federation players who complete the mission will earn a Support Cruiser Starship – Ambassador Class (Tier 3), as well as a Support Cruiser Retrofit Starship – Ambassador Class (Tier 5), and Klingon players will be rewarded with a Battlecruiser Starship – Kamarag Class (Tier 3), along with a Battlecruiser Retrofit Starship – Kamarag Class (Tier 5). It’s important to note that the Tier 5 Retrofits can only be earned by completing the mission during the three-year anniversary event, and the box that it is contained in can only be opened once the character reaches Rear Admiral (Fed) or Brigadier General (KDF) rank. Ship stats are available here.
Also, don’t forget to check out our amazing Anniversary spotlight video for a look at just some of what players experienced in 2012 (and for a teaser of what’s to come), and check out our brand-new infographic to see some incredible statistics about what has been accomplished thus far in Star Trek Online.
Thank you to all the fans that have made Star Trek Online such a great place to enjoy the universe of Star Trek over the past three years, and we’re looking forward to many more years of exploring where no one has gone before. Happy anniversary and we’ll see you in-game!

This episode surely counts as a favorite. To hear Denise Crosby's voice as Tasha Yar was such a delightful treat! I very much like the retrofit version of the Ambassador Class starship. Now I just have to take her on a shakedown cruise.

I have both ships. Love em, but never got the uniform. Why?
hartzilla
at the uniform menu look under chest gear and belt and you'll find it.

This celebration is indeed a very awesome one. Well done!

This event is a perfect example of why I get so annoyed with the Development team. In this new event you move to a new timeline that you need to fix. You are told "I come from a timeline where the Federation and Klingons are at war and the Federation is losing, you must help fix this."... well that is great, until I log into my Klingon toons and have the same conversation. Why would a Klingon help anyone repair a timeline where they are winning a war aganst the Federation? The Developers keep making one sided events and story lines that just make no sense from a Klingon perspective! It was the same with the Dominion episodes... why would the Federation allow a Klingon officer free access to a Federation Military Prison????... it just ruins the adventure. I am not asking for story lines with million dollar movie quality plot lines, but can you at least pretend that there is more than one faction in the game? You have a year to design a anniversary event, surely you can change a few lines around to make it somewhat plausable for both sides. At this point, with as little energy as anyone has put into the Klingons I am scraed to death to see how horrible a new Romulan faction would be.....

Becuase your in the future of the the Yesterday's Enterprise timeline and winning against the feds doesn't mean crap if the Dominion crushes you and you wind up a slave for Tholians, thats why your Klingon is helping

Check the forums. Cryptic has only answered this question, about a dozen times.
starmonkey88 @ Feb 4th, 2013 9:52AM
how do you get the free ships?
neithan80
How about reading the article? It's all explained there...

What's with the uselessness of the Elder Tribble. Talking to tribbles has proven to be very beneficial. Especially right before combat. The IDIC tribble grants effects that are specific to your career choice. The Gamma Quadrant tribble grants a steal effect because of its ability to phase in and out. The Fleet tribble is a living replicator. A Triolic Tribble will make you phase ever so slightly out of our plain of existence, like a Devidian. An elder tribble does absolutely nothing! That kind of contradicts what we know about tribbles in 2409.
shadowfang240
it's not the talking to tribbles that gives you the benefits, it's petting them; since you don't actually touch the elder tribble (AFAIK), of course you get no benefits
jcp26 @ Feb 4th, 2013 6:43AM
I just thought of another flaw with the plot. The Enterprise C had already sustained heavy damage fighting the Romulans, with a crew of 700 reduced to 120 and the senior officers all dead. Now they had to fight the Tholians just to get back to fight the Romulans. That would have hastened the vessel's destruction and decreased the probability of survivors. This makes Tasha's capture even more mysterious. You need time to get to an escape pod or activate the transporters, and the faster the ship explodes the less time you have. Then you have to get clear of the explosion and avoid being spotted by the Klingons. And don't start with the "the Klingons must have died thing". Somebody had to survive to tell the story, and it certainly was not the Romulans. Why unite your two greatest enemies with a story of great courage and sacrifice?

"Aye, and if me grandmother had wheels, she'd be a wagon." Cryptic doesn't have any decent writers left. That's why all of their "exciting", new content focuses either on invasion, grindzones/lockboxes, or bastardizing existing canon. There hasn't been an original idea in this game since "Customizable, bridge officers, who accompany you on away missions." How long would it take just to get the word out to 700 crew, that you're leaving, let alone, boarding them.
jcp26 @ Feb 4th, 2013 6:08AM
Ok, the Klingons conquer the Federation. It's possible. I'm not saying it's certain because Starfleet has proven to be no pushover (23rd Century Federation/Klingon war, 24th Century war with Borg, Dominion War, 25th Century war with Klingons/Undine/Borg/Cardassian insurgents/ Alpha Jem'Hadar/ Tholians/ Terran Empire/etc). A lot of civilizations have attempted to destroy the Federation and failed. The Dominion conquers the Klingons. Makes sense, without the Federation to act as allies or the Prophets to stem the flow of Jem'Hadar from the Gamma Quadrant. The Dominion hands the Romulan Empire to the Tholians. WTF? The Dominion are not known for handing things over. Remember the conversation between Weyoon and the female Changeling. "Forgive me, but I thought I was to rule Earth". "And so you shall". "But you just promised it to the Breen". "I would promise the Breen the entire Quadrant if I thought it would help win the war". The Dominion do not honour the arrangements they make with those who actually fought for them. Why should they honour arangements made with those who did not? That part did not make sense.
alexwtfftw @ Feb 4th, 2013 4:08AM
soo, how do i get these free ships? i go to the engineer guy Q says to go to and he just says one message and the chatbox closes.
fitz444 @ Feb 3rd, 2013 9:29PM
This game has not stopped keeping me interested. So much fun! Happy 3 year anniversary, STO! Just one thing, it would be awesome if the rank of Admiral (51 ) would become available
johnyflash23
YES GREAT IDEA!
augustusranath
i think they are going to make it admiral (60) sometime
trektaku @ Feb 3rd, 2013 8:42PM
Congraulations to Star Trek Online for 3 wonderful years. Sucks I can play due to my deployment in Afghanistan, but as soon as I get home its Trekin' Time. Hope the Ambassador is still avalible when I get home.
starmonkey88 @ Feb 3rd, 2013 4:57PM

blairmarshall @ Feb 3rd, 2013 12:32PM

tomlan11 @ Feb 3rd, 2013 10:55AM
Very good idea, nice, fun mission with great rewards considering how long it takes! Happy Anniversary!
irishask @ Feb 3rd, 2013 10:50AM
dang the ambassador class tier 5 ship is beast .i cant for them to add the constalation class ( i cant remember how its ezeactly spelled but it what the stargazer and the halfaway was)
silverfaustx @ Feb 3rd, 2013 6:32AM
the mirror cruiser is better and easier to get btw
jjbuka79 @ Feb 3rd, 2013 1:17AM
More fun and verry good reward was to give a rare ship like: tholian, ferengi, dominion and other rare ship. Not every one can get that rare ship and to let people to chose 1 ship. U put a lower rewars a shiip like sovreigen but whit diferent aspect. This game start to sucks alot.
ef261
And your spelling/grammar sucks a thousand times more... which is to say that the game doesn't suck at all, but your spelling and grammar both do.
usafghostwolf01 @ Feb 2nd, 2013 7:53PM
Is there a method to reduce the server response issues? I am trying to start the quest line and am unable to because of it.
