This Week in STO

Captain's Blog Stardate 90201.53

Well this was a slow week for STO. Really the only exciting news (especially for me) is that fleets will be getting the ability to convert Commendation Experience into Fleet Marks. It will be a console in Ops (the main room) of fleet stations. This is great news for fleet members because it will now be easier to get more fleet marks. I assume this will be released on Thursday with the regular weekly patch.

The Foundry editor also came back online which I'm happy about. I can start playing around with it and hopefully release a new mission for all of you to play! I have a few ideas floating around in my head. Does anyone out there plan on creating a foundry mission?

That's about it for this week. If anyone has anything interesting to report, just post it below. By the way, do you think there should be additional ways to get Fleet Marks besides doing fleet missions and converting your commendation experience?
