True but I kind of forgot about it tbh.

Anyway, a new "Year of Klingon" bundle: Totes a Klingon bundle

They explained the YoK would just be mostly mission and character content, not ships. Shouldn't be surprised.

Wow a C-store ship that isn't a bundle or padded to make more expensive? it's just the standard 3000 Zen T6 ship

Both models were done by Tobias Richter, and you can really tell with the Luna Class remodel, as it has details only seen on his original high detail model from years ago, and not on other fan models.

A better look with different angles: https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/kaf12z/upcoming_ship_variant/

Definitely a DSC styled Excelsior.

Wow. That Excelsior variant looks terrible.

The Titan is looking pretty damned slick though.

Upcoming mission will involve Borath and the character of Tenavik  from DSC Season 2, voiced by Sam Witwer.

Tenavik was going to be voiced by Kenneth Mitchel who played him in DSC, but he couldn't do it because of 'extenuating circumstances', so he chose Sam Witwer to replace him, and coached him on how to play the character.

Kenneth has ALS and has to use a wheelchair now, so I assume that plus Covid is what the extenuating circumstances are. Helping him to the recording studio and all that.

Also, an artistic representation of one STO's missions is going to be in the 2022 Ships of the Line Calendar

Tuesday spoiler, Kael missed a loading screen during tonight's stream

Spoiler: show
Mary Chieffo, L'Rell in Discovery, is in the episode in some way. The loading screen just mentioned her name, not the character. Could be playing L'Rell in some sort of time crystal reason, or she's just playing a new character.

There was a a shadow with a feminine figure in the keyart holding the sword of Kahless.

Watching the stream from last night and either they renamed the Fer'jai frigates or they made new ones called Byr'jai frigates. Besides that, they've replace the older Fek'Ihri ships with their newer counterparts.

They're removing the faction restrictions on ships with the anniversary.

Any faction will be able to use any ship, if you have a level 65 KDF character (pure KDF, Rom and Dominion aligned characters don't count) it will unlock automatically, or you can buy the C-Store unlock, which is 2000 Zen normally, but will be on sale for 1000 until February 25th.

https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11483253-command-any-ship

Downside, they're removing crossfaction Lockbox Console/Trait boxes. Meaning KDF/KDF Aligned players will no longer be able to get the cheaper option for those, will need to buy/win the actual ship to acquire the Trait/Console.

They're already being scooped up off the exchange by players wanting to buy them before the price jumps.
