On a side note - I see we've been linked to from the main STO Forum boards.
So greetings to everyone visiting.
Also, I've been reviewing my notes from the Cryptic panel.
A few points I've not seen upthread:
1) The maps for the expansion will be located on the 'South' side of the Delta Quadrant - Devs' words. I assume that to more precisely mean the end of the Delta Quadrant closer to the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. So it's less likely we'll be visiting Talax or the Ocampan homeworld (as seen in 'Jetrel' and 'Caretaker' respectively).
2) New ground locations (not clear if these will be social hubs or not) include a species known for reproduction based on DNA engineering - I imagine this means the
Kobali (as seen in 'Ashes to Ashes'). Or possibly the
Taresians (as seen in 'Favorite Son'). Other, less likely possibilities might include Quarra, or the Vhnori homeworlds.
3) There would 'probably' be a new reputation tree.
4) Of the new T6 ship designs presented, the Stafleet cruiser featured upthread was also matched by a Science Vessel - implying there'll also be a T6 Starfleet escort in the works. Career-demarked variants for Romulans and Klingons were not presented.
5) During the Voyager panel Q&A, someone asked Kate Mulgrew and Ethan Phillips if they might join Tim and Garrett for lending their voice talents to STO. To which Kate replied "Didn't we do that?"
