            RRF Captain Cybyl’s synopsis of the Star Trek Online News for week ending 04/17/2016:

            1. Season 11.5 dropped on Star Trek Online players on Tuesday, April 12th with in a blaze of glory! Skill tree revamp, Romulan admiralty missions, a new Strategist space specialisation were added per prior announcements.

            2. However a number of unexpected surprises were added: free giveaways of starships, admiralty ship cards, specialization points, Na’kuhl lockbox loot drops with a chance of an awesome Na’kuhl timeship or improved crafting materials packages, new uniforms and other gear.

            3. One significant surprise was the addition of a long requested feature from Captains who wanted greater control over the appearance of their ship: starship visual slots. Now STO players now have transmog options for their starships!

            4. Na’kuhl Red Alerts were added to the game based on PvE queues rather than the free-for-all model of existing Borg, Klingon, Tholian, etc., Red Alerts. They are a huge, fun improvement with more rewards than the older Red Alerts. Gotta love ’em!

            Tetsemi –
            5. The new Featured episode, Temporal Front, is an action-packed time-travel, search-and-destroy effort to eliminate Na’kuhl time agents from changing the time stream. Their evil goal is to to eliminate the Federation and it’s allies from existance. Several short stories were released prior to this mission to supply back story and to prepare players for this epic task.

            6. Lastly, a number of UI and player quality-of-life improvements, too numerous to mention, were released as well. For a complete list of these as well as the entire Season 11.5 scenario listings, please visit the Star Trek Online website .

            7. For status of the AIE Classis Fleet Starbase, fleet mates are encouraged to check in on the fleet holdings tab in the in-game menu. Contributions of materiel and personnel are always requested to assist in building up the base and fleet holdings to their full potential.

            8. Further news, patch release notes, forums, commentary, etc. are always available at . Players are encouraged to check in regularly.

              AIE News

              Community

              It’s never too early to plan a meetup and Mkallah has started a thread in the Community section discussing Meetups for the Warcraft Movie. I know the Phoenix contingent will be getting together for this (something about reserved seats, etc etc) and may tie in a dinner before or after depending on the schedule.

              http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/57077-meetups-for-the-warcraft-movie

              Also, speaking of stuff outside of games, join us in Rocket Chat for that Greenwall experience outside of games. http://aie.community Use your Umami log on and password to log in. There is a Windows, iOS, and Android app, so you can get to it where you want it.

              Imperium Ludi

              Black Desert Online (BDO) BlackDesertOnline.com has launched and Lord Senile has posted a thread about the Guild Info. Right now the guild has a very low starting cap on members and the folks that are in are working hard to raise that member cap, so please bear with us while they work on it. In the meantime, if you are playing, please add Dethode to your friends list.

              It’s a beautiful fantasy-based MMO with a big learning curve — feels like an old school MMO. Has been up in Korea for 2-3 years.
              Action-based combat
              Classes
              Warrior, Ranger, Berserker, Valkyrie
              Sorceress, Wizard, Witch
              Coming: Blader, Plum
              Some fun features:
              Auto run/path to objective, NPC searcher
              Quests to make your way in the world—killing mobs to level (mostly)
              Fishing is the early money maker
              Lots to the game:
              Crafting/trading/gathering
              Knowledge? Seems like gossip.
              You have many alts, and many workers and a network of “nodes”
              Dethode’s workers are everywhere.

              The blizzard pet battle team has decided that epic pet battle stones are not to be a thing! Great news for pet battlers as we will not have to farm up 700+ stones! Yay!

              Neopheonix is looking for raiders for Alexander, the newest final fantasy raid, on tuesdays from 6-8 pst. If you are interested, let him know on the forums, in game, or just drop in! They are going to be in mumble and the invite is wide open.

              Jasmine wanted everyone to know how up to date our housing decor is! Anais is really on the ball when it comes to keeping things up with the current events/seasons. We just got a really neat music player in the house that lets us set what music folks hear when they’re inside.

              SWTOR

              We’ll discuss SWTOR more in the Game News section, but we did want to highlight that Tetsemi and a few others have created spreadsheets to help you track your crew skills. At first glance, crew skills may not seem like a focus, but trust me, having some crafted gear while leveling as well as a sense of advancement helps round out your character. It’s something SWTOR does very well and helps enhance your play through the game.

              http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/57072-crew-skills-spreadsheet

              Also Escape Pod Cast episode #132 is up on the feed. Max and Sema discuss all things 4.3 on the Public Test Server (PTS).

              4. The ‘Into the Breach’ Event queue has been updated and reintroduced in the PvE event queues. This pits you and your fleet mates against a hostile Voth City Ship for reputation marks.

              5. The Galactic Development Campaign has ended by players completing all 3 tiers.. Until Thursday, March 10th, all players shall be getting 150% bonuses for ALL types of skill sets.
