Rerun Month

Captain's Blog Stardate 88956.44

Hailing frequencies open. Well this has certainly been a big week for Star Trek Online and the STO Academy! Before we get into Star Trek Online news I just want to make a few announcenments. First of all, the first episode of our first series is out. The Price of Science / The Price of Honor. Check it out in the game and make sure you leave some feedback. The STO Academy also has its very own Forum! I would love to see people sign up and chat away on here. Think of it as the Star Trek Online's home away from home. You can even discuss what will happen in the second episode of this series. The official discussion is being held at http://forum.stoacademy.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=9. So its the first week of May and Cryptic opens up the rerun for the Breen series. Not only can we get the Breen bridge officer again but we can get level appropriate badges/emblems (yay) and a new equipment set for our ship called the Absolute Zero set. I have this set up on my Science character's Intrepid and I really like it. Although there is a bug with the engines. It causes two sets of fog, or whatever its called, to appear behind my ship. That wouldn't be so bad but the second set is off to the left. This week the second rerun begins which is the Devidian series. I can't wait to see what goodies come from this series. I'm not sure if I would like another ship set right now, and I know I don't want a Devidian bridge officer. That's just the way I feel about it. Let me know what you guys think! I've set up a poll on our forums about what you think the reward will be, so check it out when you get a chance http://forum.stoacademy.com/posting.php?mode=post&f=4. I'm really glad Cryptic is doing this rerun month because it gives people a chance to get items they weren't able to get before. The question is, will they do this again for the same episodes? As the months roll by we'll be getting more and more featured series which means there will be more and more they need to rerun. How do you think they should handle this? Personally, I believe they should do it almost the same way, but instead of having a different series each week, the entire month will be for all the episodes. That's all for this week. Let me know what you think of the Breen rewards, take the poll on the Devidian rewards (as well as leaving your thoughts about it below), and let me know how you think Cryptic should handle future reruns. Take care! End transmission.
