Anniversary Event Extended!
By PWE_BranFlakes @ February 14, 2013 at 10:00am

We're extending our Anniversary Event until Monday, February 18th at 10AM PST! Celebrate our three-year anniversary on on Earth Spacedock and Qo'noS where Q is hosting parties and giving away prizes. 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. You must be ranked Commander 5 (Level 25) to play this mission, and it can be found in the Mission Journal (Default Key "J"). In the Federation Mission Journal, the episode falls between Preemptive Strike and Hunting the Hunters, and in the KDF Mission Journal, the episode falls between Keep Your Enemies Closer and Skirmish.
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!

Pointless extension, even if you had the new level requirement of 25 you could not get the mission.
zuigje010 @ Feb 18th, 2013 7:16AM
aaawwww that's so mean you litterly took free out off free. I only had today to do the Temp Amb mission and I got an engi all the way to level 6 and I didn't get any mission, I leveled a few times more thinking it's a glitch and still I didn't get a mission. I ask in zone chat and only 1 person told me that knew about this patch that the req. to get the mission is now 25 instead of 6. Ah well that's a few hours waisted for nothing. cba with my engineerer anymore. Anniversary Event was very nice just feel a bit taken from behind with the req. for the mission not to be 6 but 25 all of a sudent, shame. Ah well keep up the good work.

I wonder if they will come out with The Rigel Class Constitution Class Variant that was in The Battle of Wolf 359
jamestkirk11 @ Feb 18th, 2013 2:22AM
I wonder if they will Re Release the Ambassador Class Support Cruiser in the Cryptic Store or Zen Store with Different Varients of the Ambassador Class Support Cruiser same with The Klingon Kamarag Class Support Cruiser

BRIDGE OFFICER FIX: Once you change your starship go to your STARSHIPS Bridge and the bug will be resolved.
hawk0529
not all time.. for me only the "warping to fleet starbase and changing there" worked nothing else
pweverybody @ Feb 17th, 2013 7:40PM
Not interested! Cant even play now, Day 3 no bridge officers will work on any of my ships and I've got dozens of them! Why don't you spend more time getting your game to work right for everybody cause its unfair and I don't think you should be allowed to continue profiting from it so I will be telling people not to bother with the game at all. I just have to show them how much I've spent and then mention that I can't even play!!
w1stful @ Feb 17th, 2013 5:52PM
Poc a postalyptic Star Trek movie poster? ok!!! sure
ncaak @ Feb 17th, 2013 4:23PM
Serious? Level 25 now? Not amused...
grizzlyuk @ Feb 17th, 2013 2:21PM
It's a very nice gesture from Cryptic to have extended this event, but I was very disappointed when I realized they had also changed the level requirements for the "Temporal Ambassador" mission from the original lvl 6 Fed/lvl 22 KDF to the rather strange lvl 25 requirement it now has! While the decision to extend the event is a good one, it's soured a little by the bad decision to change the level requirements for the mission.
branko13 @ Feb 17th, 2013 1:07PM
i didnt got the ambbasador ship be couse i didnt have lvl enough can u please leave this event litle more and lover lvl about 16 i need those ships.
darkwing228 @ Feb 17th, 2013 11:25AM
I like the new ships and I hope this Game will continue to get better I do however have one problem it won't let me access the mission to get the KDF ship anyway thanks for this great game cryptic :)
otakutreem @ Feb 17th, 2013 9:55AM
2 KDF Chars I missed to get the ship, using Q or the NPC wiill not give mission, says there is nothing for me right now, yet chars that have already done the quests can still get again.
turbion
Same here, can't seem to be able to obtain the mission on my KDF character.
kapteenikrisu @ Feb 17th, 2013 7:34AM
why there was only cruisers? I like more that you can choose Cruiser, Science or Escort ship!
aestu @ Feb 16th, 2013 7:31AM
Most pointless thing ever. Those posters giving absurd "Dear Leader"-type praise are PWE employees. Simple as that.
nickcastleton @ Feb 15th, 2013 2:24PM
im suprised people are complaining so mcuh, i came from the old republic which has sunk so far that i cant stand to go near it but this, this game is without a doubt one of the best mmos ive played since SWG.
merryprankster2
Okay. And I'm Chewbacca's father, Itchy.
rollcasket1
i hated when they took swg dwn. now its a pre-cu emulator u can dwnload.
aelogria
Thats definetly your point of view. ToR still has more users and makes more money that STO. And the graphics are rated way higher and you dont get nickle and dimed like you do in STO.
aherkan
1, even though i will always miss SWG, is a shame they had to mess up a game like that
savris
Really. SWTOR doesn't nickle and dime you? Really? They charge you to unlock the ability to shown a title with your name, to have more than 2 hot key bars, to do more than a ciuple dungeons a week, to do more than a couple pvp matches, to wear any purple gear, the list goes on and on. How dare STO charge us for mostly cosmetic changes, those tyrants. Either way, they are both free-to-play games, they have to pay their staff somehow.
turbion @ Feb 15th, 2013 12:22PM
Out of curiousity, do KDF players get anything other than the ship? Federation characters get the extra sash and belt. Thanks in advance.
breadandcircuses
Upon your first completion, both factions get the same sash/belt combo. If you have female characters or boffs, be warned that the sash has a tendency to pass through, rather than over, breasts.
kalregar @ Feb 15th, 2013 3:00AM
Why why why do you people have to keep nerfing the foundry? This game is already a thankless chore to play as it is.
breadandcircuses @ Feb 15th, 2013 1:42AM
Ok, got curious about what exactly folks were complaining about. I inferred that is was carryover from some other area that they had read recently, and found the answer in the patch notes for today at http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?p=8041121#post8041121 The extended Anniversary is great and all, but the patch is... less so.
jbpatton1701 @ Feb 14th, 2013 7:29PM
Will the T3 Ambassador Class ship be aviable after the 3 year event? or the T5 Ambassador in the Z-Store??
nathan1976 @ Feb 14th, 2013 3:28PM
Where's my space Twinkies?!!
r3ad2 @ Feb 14th, 2013 2:51PM
extending it was a brilliant Idea
rohthaga @ Feb 14th, 2013 2:41PM
I would love to be able to walk out the docking walkway like you do to run to the ambassador ship in the mission when we go to leave ESD on our personal ships :/
gambyyt @ Feb 14th, 2013 2:25PM
BTW, the ship is better than the ship you get when you are promoted, which works for me, thanks devs!
gambyyt @ Feb 14th, 2013 2:24PM
wow, I'm surprised how many people like to bitch about free stuff! If you don't like the ship, don't use it, you don't have to call the devs tools or whatever. It's a FREE ship, what do you expect? Mega armor and overpowered weapons? Seriously get over it and STFU. If you are so upset about this "crap" FREE ship, do everybody a favor and just quit the game. I swear, humans are the greediest most selfish animals in the world.
staraa
I'm amazed as well. There are some elements of the game I'm unhappy with as well, but the constant stream of players trolling the forums and complaining at every possible opportunity is over the top. Keep it in perspective and don't explode every time there's a new update.
lordlukereaper
Here here well said.
iskandarmurad
Well I wil say this, I played those missions in particular, and it was actually a good deal. The more advanced version of the Ambassador class vessels are POWERFUL...well, compared to what else I have, that is. That being said, I have absolutely NOTHING to complain about.
aestu
This guy is a PWE employee. No joke.
barrymontoya @ Feb 14th, 2013 2:16PM
I am pleased. My Sci Commander is using the Ambassador until it is useless to him. I found it an interesting and fun vessel due to the fact that it can be upgraded with stuff... and yes, it can be a little powerhouse of a ship. MY KDF Tac Captain is using his Kamarag vessel and it is performing admirably, again after some modifications...
