Giving STO Another Try

[137th Gebirg]

So, question for everyone: A few years back, there was a “Pink” Vanity Shield that you could get as a part of a larger bundle for donating to a breast cancer charity. According to the STO Wiki, it was only available from October 15 - 31 of 2019. I’m working on completing my collection of vanity shields and that one looks like it’s going to be a hard one to get, if it’s even possible. Does anyone know if it will ever be made available again? The OCD collection completionist in me is getting… well… obsessive about it. Thoughts?

There is always the chance that STO may support another bundle for such a appeal in the future, but apart from that i am afraid to say it is long gone with no other way to get one.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Yeah, I figured that might be the case. Oh well. Maybe one day...

 

[Haggis and tatties]

You never know, good causes like this can always do with more donations so finger crossed it will appwar again.

35% zen sale on tons of stuff at the moment, i had been saving up my stipend for the gamma vauguard pack which is now down to just under 10,000 zen, so another batch of ships and goodies to enjoy.

Plus a new red alert event is now running until the 17 Nov, with 1 free epic upgrade, 1 X ship upgrade and 1 spec upgrade as the reward. ha

The last event for the year long prize tokens is now in progress for those waiting to reach the 3500 mark to claim one of the prizes, plus a new 14 day event with a new v'ger ground console is up for grabs.

Hi all.

I've just started playing the game.

Its seems pretty fun so far.

I'm playing a character in TOS era.

I also tried it again some 12 years later, and it's still tedious.
DS9 looks a lot better though, they did a great job improving it. Voyager and legacy characters also look really good.
Started each campaign to see what kinds of options you have and what ship you get first.

Lot of screenshots, hidden for space reasons

You have joined at a good time, the games 13th anniversary will start on 24th of Jan, so apart from the free T6 ship event that ladts 20 days, there will also be give aways, so remember to check the promotion tab daily in the c-store to see what is being given away, ususally a free T5 or T6 ship token, and some account goodies or some free ship or toon upgrade tokens, so well worth a look daily over this time. :-)

And also i forget you also get new reward items from the new incoming missions, so even more goodies to be had. :-)

Thanks for this.
I'm quite enjoying the game so far. I've only done 3 missions so am just getting used to the interface.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

The 13th anniversary has begun, today's freebie, 4 free ship slots, so head to the promtions tab to claim.

 

[parsonsm]

I'm now completed 4 missions, but I cannot say more to the temporal prime directive.

The nice thing about joining now is that there's *loads* of content for you to play through. So you'll probably have a lot of fun for a while before the inevitable MMO burnout.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

Next freebie is up, a T5 c-store ship token to allow you to claim a free T5 ship accont wide.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

Next freebie is up, elite service starter pack, grab it before it's gone.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

Next freebie is up, TMP uniforms, you need to go into the uniform tab to claim them, and they will go great with the upcoming V'ger free T6 event ship which starts in 2 days.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

Next freebie is up, 2 pack of duty officers, found in the promo tab.

Looks like they got Gates McFadden to do some VO for STO:
