I'll try each of these and see how they feel for enjoyment, speed, and completion.
Come back here after release and let's all discuss our thoughts on the content.

Depending on the play/engagement of the new patrols, I'd recommend ReSB1 on solo private queue for its AFK potential. However, if the new content is fun to play OR can be fast/rewarding (like the Red Alerts), then I'll do those instead.
So, basically, character-bound non-reclaimable. Like the shotgun in that one Zen bundle.
From September 17th at 8am PT to October 17th at 12pm PT, you can participate in the “Dimensional Typhoon” event. This new event will find you facing all three variants of the Multiversal Borg.
You will receive two daily progress for completing a TFO, and one daily progress for completing a patrol. They are as follows:
- TFO: Royal Flush (NEW)
- TFO: Battle of Wolf 359
- TFO: Resistance of Starbase One
- Patrol: “Out of Control“ (NEW)
- Patrol: “Unwanted Guests“ (NEW)
Pulse Phaser Weapon Pack
....
This pack is account bound, and not reclaimable. It will be granted to the character who claims the Grand Prize.
~Indy's note: Emphasis in bold is my own~
Agreed. You sum up the more reasonable aspects of my actual "complaints" well. Uninteresting.
However, I do still play daily. Now, more recently, that's been no more than 30 minutes, simply to do the daily checkbox and leave. There's (currently) nothing "interesting" for me; I hope the new team and arc will introduce a change for the better. I grew weary of the new coat of paint on the old grind TFOs. Worse still, the odd movement of the game further from science and exploration.
What I want is the Foundry and puzzle-solving. What I have is a pew-pew DPS chase and there are much better (free/cheap) games out there which can do that. Still, I continue to log in daily because I want this game to explore the new direction they conclude the post with. :)
Just adding here that I hope the sarcasm and humor in my commentary above is well-received by this Fediverse community. Typically, I just summarize and move on with life, but I thought I'd be a bit more editorial when I read this post.
Other highlights from the post: (with my own commentary added for flair)
... there will be new content heading your way before then. Tomorrow, we’ll be announcing our newest Event, where we will be adding new activities! You’ll be able to participate in a new TFO and two new Patrols, and work your way towards earning a new T6 Starship!
So, new event and new activities? Hope so!
... the DECA Games team are working closely with Cryptic’s team...
Yeah, I would hope so, considering you're taking it over from them and trying to keep it running. Just try not to pick up any bad habits, like typos.
... and we’re excited to finish the story arc that we began with Unraveled.
Yes, please end that story arc. Please, I'm begging you, not for its conclusion, but simply so it's out of the way.
We’re also in the process of planning and pitching our next multi-year story arcs - which has been well-received.
Well-received by whom? The same people that liked the previous arc? I hope not.
We understand it might be disappointing...
We're used to that feeling.
...not to have a new episode coming this month
Oh, you weren't finished yet. Sorry about that. No, it's fine. They did this stuff all the time, like missing First Contact Day and the like.
but we hope you understand that we would rather give you the best content possible than rush something out the door.
OK, that's actually new.
We are committed to producing content of the highest quality possible as we carry the Star Trek Online torch forward, so you, the players, have many more years of quality content to enjoy. The future is bright for the Final Frontier!
Yeah, definitely a new approach. Just be careful not to have typos and errors in dates in your posts.
Hahaha. I'm now thinking of my question in that context and it makes this whole thing so much funnier.
Thank you!
