Not sure how I feel about the comments/descriptions on a few of the items listed on the Watch List. :( Makes me sad thinking that the devs have very different intentions with items than what I already enjoy.

Following up to add: The endeavors are worth doing for the perks, but only if you WANT to do that specific endeavor and/or can reroll a bad one. Furthermore, many of the Endeavors are easy to complete very quickly in solo missions or patrols, if you know where to go. Definitely feel free to ask here in STO Alliance; I and others will pipe up with suggestions.

Endeavors are basically daily tasks that you complete to earn points toward perk unlocks. The original perks (still available) were pretty decent, increasing valuable stats. Most of the added (newer) perks are kind of a joke.

In any case, here’s a quote from the article on STO Wiki about Endeavors:

The Endeavor System is composed of two parts: Universal Endeavors which are game-wide challenges, and Personal Endeavors which are randomly allocated account-specific challenges. Challenges include playing specific missions, dealing a specific damage type and completing R&D tasks. Completion awards prize boxes and progress towards passive skill perks.

Chiming in as well, even though I’m mainly just a lurker here these days:

I continue to play nearly daily, even if only jumping on for whatever event is happening and the endeavors. I enjoy having a place (STO) to go to immerse into the Star Trek universe. Sure, the game itself is dated with certain mechanics and visuals, but it’s still wonderful to play in spaces (heh) of the established lore.

Oddly enough, I find myself mostly enjoying the seasonal events. I used to roll my eyes at those, but now it’s what brings me and my friends back to the game simply so we can run around Risa, some haunted castle, and especially the Winter Wonderland.

I haven’t stayed current on my builds, so I’m still flying ships which have long been out done in their DPS, but it’s fun for me to have those old familiar builds which can still wipe any PVE content quickly (for the sake of endeavors).

That’s why I call the Kelvin timeline “Star Trek 90210” and write it out of my head-canon.

Jar-Jar Abrams did not make real Star Trek (nor real Star Wars, IMO). (Didn’t Abrams even say in an interview that he’d never watched Trek?) Star Trek 90210 was a fun fan fic to get people interested in “real” Star Trek.

Either way works for me. Better than the options currently available on planet Earth at this point in history.

Furthermore, any civilization able to have matter reassembly and wormhole travel available as convenient means of travel will be amazing to experience and live in.

Beam me up, Scotty!

I looked around today as well and concur that specific vessel isn’t in the game. However, you might find some others appealing. For example, the 32nd century vessels have a similar feel to them as massive mobile space stations.

If you want something smaller but not the “typical” Star Trek ship (i.e. SF, Rom, Klingon), you might take a look at the Husnock.

I had similar thoughts, especially since the main game has been out for a while. I’ve played the main game multiple times, 100% it, helped others play it, and I’ve even done speedruns in various difficulties just to see how long the “core” story would take.

Does that mean the DLC will scale for me due to my 100%-ing? Will it be based on my various difficulty settings? Will it be my most recent playthrough? We shall see. In the end, it’ll be interesting to see what they do with the story; the main game’s story was a little odd for me in one particular case since Indiana Jones

in the novels at an earlier stage of his life.

It made me smile thinking of how amazing it must have felt for Celia to say the lines about the inspiration from a TV show (i.e. “The Last Frontier”… meaning, Star Trek), considering how much of an inspiration Nichelle’s Uhura was for her (Celia) and her career.

Groundhog Day

Did they quietly change the way Endeavor XP is handled? I thought the XP spanned the account, but it appears to be character-specific.

I thought I remembered it being shared across the whole account, so you could easily hop characters to finish the tasks as needed.

I watched this the other day and loved it. (Also, I have all of the Klingon books mentioned in this video.)

It’s also possible that “Nova Squadron” is just one of many (as Value Subtracted mentions herein) and that there are many other Nova Squadrons without any issues in the intermittent years between the incidents. It’s possible that, like most things in the Star Trek universe, we only see the times when something interesting/dramatic occurs, not the boring day-to-day.

Said another way, just because you periodically have a rowdy graduating class from primary/secondary education, doesn’t mean you stop having graduating students.
