Started playing this game today. Just wanted to thank you. Your videos have been most informative.

This is a hard pill to swallow, all of those TFOs aren't actually short unless BOTS with a pre-assembled team that knows what to do. Also, I was hoping for a quad AP cannon.

I did not know you could get all three rewards this time around. Thanks!

I didn't realise it was all three as event campaign rewards...wow that's really good!

For the new players: you should ALWAYS either complete enough of any events to get the rewards or buy out, FTP or not. Why wouldn't you want access to extra gear even if you have no immediate plans to use it? It might come up months or even years from now and events are always cheaper than Mudd's Market. Am I the only one who thinks we will all see a bunch of really tiny characters running around with giant maces in the social zones for a while after this event?

Sweet I just started playing 2 weeks ago after a many year break. Good to know I still got time for this event I assumed I was going to miss out.

I'm one of those players (or whales as Nic would say) that buys out the event, and continues to play it throughout to get the rewards quicker. Very informative video MCStu.

Good to see! Two weeks with no Stu.. feels bad man. Excited for the two most expensive options in a weapon pack being given out on account unlock.

Thanks for reminding me about this. I don't play STO often anymore but with rewards like that, I cannot miss out on it.

Love seeing videos for Star Trek Online!

Oh goodie. These will be good to my already monstrous inquiry battlecruiser. Thanks for the help bro.

Great content, and I have really tried to play this MMO for well over 500 hrs. now. Was at least able to get some decent budget builds started, at least to the point they don't fly apart when the paint chips. Your past content was great in getting those started. After all that time, it's still difficult to get through an event without getting dropped half the time, and dropping in the middle of an instance tanks any progress, so it's frustrating and just not worth the time. Still, it may drop to a 'short playtime' option, it's nice to at least get some good information on budget builds and other options you provide. I may even keep trying to get some of those events knocked out if they don't take longer than 30 minutes when the disconnects kick in.

As a player who just started earlier this year, I deeply appreciate these explanation videos!

I’m super excited. I’m so happy that they made it so you don’t have to choose which reward you get.

For even more campaign/event progress you can also run the events every 20 hrs so basically if you do that you gain an extra day of progress every 5 days (used to set timers for this, but couldn't this year)

This one is gonna be nice. The weapons sound really great and can complete a ship build

When I started the event the other day... I thought it was an all-ground TFO but today I see the other ground ones... Kool

I know you get this a lot but thank you for your videos as they have helped me out a lot .

Pretty cool there are so many new players to an ancient mmo that is on her last legs. Good luck and Godspeed to them all! (I love playing with freshies! They're such terrible DPS)

ok good nearly had a momentary stroke doing the math and i forgot to remember the +7 days worth

Wish they also give us a Herald Torpedo we could upgrade. The ones that come with the ships only go up to Mk. X.

i might be sol. somehow missed the 2nd event and im having surgery on the 9th so ill be out of commission for a week or two

Thanks to the Steam Deck, I've got 1150 plus another 1150 for the last two events. Nice to get this events knocked out sooner rather than later, and with the Deck you can just have your PC with you anywhere you go really, just set your phone internet on it and I can complete the daily tfo early in the morning anywhere I'm liking playing the game on PC now which really is thanks to Steam and the Steam Deck, it really helped with the transition from console. I even made a control scheme using the Steam input, that makes playing with a controller better than m&k, which for most console players is really not good. Plus I have four rows of skills available in simple combination of buttons, which is like 40 skills I can easily activate, while having the more fluid ship or character control, that a controller can provide, all that using a DS4 or the Steam Deck controls. It makes playing the game with a controller on pc, even better than on consoles actually

I’m still really new to the game, but at level 64. Can I still get a little head start on the grind for this? I’m not sure what the current event is except for the Duty Officer one, and I’ve skipped it while I’m learning the ropes. Console player, btw.

Sooo are the events still starting later on console compared to PC. Are is my game just bugging. Because it's showing the tholian event hasn't started yet on xbox for me.

Lots of recent antiproton rewards. Can I dream with a fleet grade T6 Obelisk?

It was normally 25K dil reward if I recall correctly...

is there a level cap? just hit 40 with first toon.. hate to miss out on it

I want to check, is this coming later for the console version? Or at the same time as the pc version?

Yes, those 20k Dil is lower, but not by much. Last time it was 25k so...

You can also play it twice on the day you finish the require times to get the events prize. It will let you run the TFO again and give you another 50 for atotal of 100 on that day.

But another omni beam that you can’t match up you can only use one as a time

I'm a new player and I'm still confused. 7 days for first contact which isn't the event that I have to join TFOs, some of which are ended or something?

Do you know of an event where a new T-6 Dyson ship will be the reward or will it be just a C-Store pack?

So if I start tomorrow and don’t miss a day after, I’m good? (New player)

been two years since i played. I heard cryptic is bough over? any changes or improvements to server and coding?

Herald sphere takes too long. the two space weapons will be a welcome since my only anti proton wide arc canons are vanilla anti proton. USS Auntie Proton Galaxy Class NCC- 0000001.... hahahaha

I have completed the first two events but you have more progress than me, can someone please explain this. Thanks

Can a complete new player do this?

Dilithium rewards are really backwards Dilithium is gated to 8k refined per day, it doesnt matter how much ore you get or have. if its not refined its irrelevant.

i completed first contact didnt get event campain points

25k dil

so I have 50 points so I can skip one day, time to grind the event

i want 100 mill ec pleas lol

But the current event(for that rather useless ground weapon) and previous event(which are the only two events I've played so far as a new player) rewarded all 3 rewards so that doesn't seem like something new or starting with the next event? This event had a ground weapon(which is brief fun for one-shot kill memes and then binned tbh since overall a poor weapon) along with a pretty useless model Phoenix(to launch while goofing about a space station or perhaps mid-mission for reasons?) and a Phoenix hologram to turn your nice looking ship into a dumb Phoenix rocket thingy which I won't ever use and guessing that's what it does but point being, I didn't have decide what poor reward I wanted and instead got all 3 bad rewards.

The Herald omni and wide arc DHC sound pretty good. I hopped on and picked up a set of Herald DHCs for a reasonable price as soon as the news broke, and the price shot up not long after. Hopefully more people will be opening the Herald boxes now and the prices will come down, as they have pretty nice looking visuals. I'd love a set of beams, too, but a set would be ridiculously expensive right now.

lol you are not a boomer XD

"You can't miss this event!" oh yeah? watch me :P

What a ridiculously misleading title!

Nice vid. I have to say, the game is so boring now, and without anything to do with all the gear I have, that I missed the two event campaign.

Dude. Change the title. It makes it sound like all future events are gonna cost to take part in.

wow, I get to pull an "Actually Jingles" moment on you... 21 days per event so far... but the event RESETS ever 20 hours!! Dude, Im sittin at 2950 waiting on the third installment, thinking I can finish the WHOLE even by the start of the 4th!!
