Even if the stats are "bad" a free ship is a free ship and if nothing else it's another one for the Admirality

[@axelhopfinger533]

And the past Summer event ships usually have turned out to be really good and interesting so far.

[@user-tk5jx4ih4g]

I dont mind "bad stats" Not every ship has to be the ultimate next meta breaker. If everything would be the same, it would be boring.

[@geminijustgemini7784]

I like the look of the ship

[@suburbantimewaster9620]

I haven’t been to the STO summer event in a long time.

[@Mercstar]

"Free stuff. I'm here for it. Everytime."

[@AeronHale]

As someone who has the original Obelisk Carrier from back when you could get it from Sphere of Influence I'm quite looking forward to this one. Hopefully they've changed the seating to be a bit more viable in the modern game! Gotta have at least that 3 slot tac seat these days!

[@cliffthedroid1663]

I was very sceptical of the Cnidarian Defender. I laughed when I first saw it. However it turned out to be one of the most powerful free ships given away IMO and is great fun. Just launch its console and watch all the bad guys blow up. It's that simple. 😃 Maybe this carrier will be like the Jarok Alliance Carrier which was praised when it was released. Also a free ship. The previous Alliance ship, the Rex Pilot Escort is great fun as well. So lets see what we get I'm looking forward to it. Also it was broaght to my attention how the new summer event ship resembles the Normady from the Mass Effect franchise. A bigger brother perhaps 🙂

[@CRYOKnox]

Yeah I saw that tko if you squeeze your eyes from above, the front section seem very similar to the SR2.

[@Lee-zn7lj]

You can also use the hoverboards on your colony holding map, makes getting around to do the projects (mining, batteries etc) easier/faster to get to.

[@MistiMoan]

Console is called "Console Universal - Subspace Fracture Tunneling Field" it's part of the ancient obelisk technology set which is now a 4 piece set. 4 piece set is as follows. Set 4: Automated Interception Swarm Obelisk Set Bonus Creates a Obelisk Swarmer every 1 sec with up to 8 of them flight at the same time.

[@doubt3430]

So that 20 fighters on field then

[@lordkanesoulreaver]

i relly hope that this carrier has a good pet bassed consials or sime kinde of onbord wep consial like a lance or something and im relly happy to finly see a t6 varrient of the ship

[@mykeybarbee2587]

I'm still waiting for event to get a ship upgrade token so I finalize my Defiant Class USS Cobra

[@dragonoid3456]

The dyson carrier was fun i hope this version is a improvement.

[@edgarbrooks7695]

i usually don't end up getting credit for anything done at risa but i really want that ship

[@matthewkeeling886]

I'm disappointed the Andorian Kit Frame and the Elysian Set have disappeared from the Event Store but the new Kits/Frame look interesting. The new ship looks nice and it is a FREE T6 SHIP, any FTP players definitely should finish the event to get that. For those players who are wanting to skip out because they are not interested in the ship: remember what has happened with the ships the last few years. Also, a Floater makes getting around on the island much easier. Get at least a basic one to make everything go faster even if you are not interested in the Floater specific events.

[@nwoizaakgoldmann4519]

What happend to the ships the last years? Its my first summer event so far

[@matthewkeeling886]

@@nwoizaakgoldmann4519 Last year was the Hysperian Battlecruiser, it is an excellent casual all-rounder and has a trait and console that are having an impact in the dps meta. The previous year was the Cnidarian Defender, the infamous "Jellyfish" with a powerful set of abilities. The previous year was the Risian Luxury Cruiser with interesting and powerful console and trait. This trend keeps going all the way back, 2019 had the Risian Corvette with its Soliton Wave Impeller for instance. The Summer ship is frequently quite capable overall and has some level of significant gameplay capability. Since the event takes only a few minutes each day to complete there is really no reason to skip doing at least the 20 days to get the ship but some of the players are put off by the odd theming and skip it anyway then end up paying through the nose when it impacts their play style. Basically: if a ship or space equipment is on the line, don't skip doing at least the minimum to get it.

[@manishghosh3934]

​@@nwoizaakgoldmann4519they have been very Good so far... So we all hoping this ship will also be good

[@CRYOKnox]

​@@nwoizaakgoldmann4519some turned out pretty nifty and not bad especially for free and they now often turn up in the mudd Store for 150+ Zen which is absolutely overpriced for a not full Zen Store ship. Zen Store ships are always a nudge better than the event ships but the last event ships had really nice stuff last years and that for free (minus 20 event participants)

[@CRYOKnox]

Disclaimer they are better with specialized seatings for your Bridge officers not in general over all

[@alexeitrebounskikh5920]

Thank you for these updates! You rock!

[@stue2298]

The Risian Kit ∞ frame, every summer event kit you use add 10% Ranged Weapon Damage on top of the 20%. Vovin will probably a 3/3 but i hope it 4/2 with a decent Engineering console slots like the Lobi Advanced Obelisk Carrier has 5 Engineering console slots.

[@frederickmiller5492]

nice - i have lots of favors saved up - the new kits sound cool. Thanks for keeping us up to date!! (if you have lots of alts - just run the daily on all of them once per day - takes about 30 minutes for about 8 toons - that's a quick 400 favors per day.)

[@TheRealGraylocke]

Ah, Risa... fun times.

[@Maj01984]

Im doing the bare minimum in every event. Doesn't matter if i want to or not. Never ever had any regrets after wards. I mean in maximun it's 15 minutes a day. Mostly faster like red alert or summer/winter event. Rewards are just to good to skip events in my opinion.

[@Deadmisfit]

the Obelisk Swarmer pets from the T5 are a decent hanger pet

[@rprlunn93]

Ship looks cool enough. I like this event cus it's bottom line quick and easy for a ship. Never do the rest it never interests me much. But in jetpack and out free ship is great. And I've never had a good carrier

[@B0HICA]

I was on Risa yesterday (6/25/24) on console & the ship is already parked there... it's pretty big

[@balung]

That's the ship from last seasons Risa event, new ship reveal after patch.

[@xyreniaofcthrayn1195]

Would be nice if it were a 5-5 layout on the vovin. When Risa needed the terraforming avatar the most it vanished to play baseball.

[@Marvin_mole62]

thank Stu

[@tarron3237]

That is a very nice free ship. I'm excited. GOGO Jetpack-o-hoverloop! It's a bit sad that everything is about stats in this kind of games. Especially in STO where it doesn't even make sense, unless you're parsing. Space-barbie ftw 😎

[@PhillipLemmon]

I'm hoping the race is the same as last year (jetpack)

[@balung]

Yaahoo gotta get that Dance Emote. 😊

[@Honored_First_Kai]

Do love the summer event❤

[@SirPlocks]

I like how the ship looks

[@aldenmclure2969]

I love the summer events, never gets old. I wish it lasted longer. I think some events should be. Give you a break from the normal stuff. Could allow people to earn a few favors a day and catch up on all the stuff in the store.

[@shogunoni7102]

started this game short while before the gamma recruit event so this will be my first summer event hope i like it as much as the winter event thought the event hoping comes soon is the temporal recruit event so i can make my last recruit character to get all the recruit unlocks

[@ZR117]

I'm ready to grind a new reputation system

[@muga1701]

Well, the old Obelisk Swarmers packed quite a punch for regular content and advanced TFOs, so I kinda like this one coming out

[@ZR117]

Cool but same question over on trizander wuy don't we have the kelvin reputation yet I mean cool kelvin jump suit cool but I'm looking for the gear weapons ship weapons ship shilds to warp then the concels and the omni beam im Gunning for ya Duel beam banks yaa would be good and a good better torpedoes

[@CrazyNights1015]

My character has been getting his summer bod ready just for this! 😂

[@Friedbrain11]

At least it is a good-looking ship. I have the original so will now have the new version. I kinda enjoyed the original myself. Hopefully, it will turn a bit better this time around.

[@savagebear4374]

This will be my first summer event since returning for the last winter one. If you can put together a video on the best events to play I would greatly appreciate it. More specifically one for efficiency.

[@Sykoze]

If you’re just looking to complete the daily and not farm Lohlunat favour, just do the daily flight mission from the lady on the dock. It takes like a minute, and even the “hardest” potential courses are super easy. If you want to farm favour, I would recommend dance competition, Horga’hn hunt, and building sand castles at the very least because they’re not competitive(despite the dance competition’s name) and they’re super duper easy. The races are a little harder, and their rewards are dependent on how you place, but once you have the racetracks down they’re not so bad.

[@dc-4ever201]

To use a carrier effectively, you have to have the skills setup, the Doffs the right traits and the right pets and consoles. That's s lot of expensive ducks to get in a row. The big advantage they have (not big enough imo) is they can engage targets over 10km using pets, I'd like to increase the trait and module coverage (for pets) out to 15-20km or the entire map in order to give them a niche that quite frankly they should already have.

[@lorzon]

What really gets me is that this thing looks too much like the Aspero for it to be an accident.

[@crusher531]

Dam, that thing looks beautiful 😍

[@waynewarren7704]

I'm hoping the free Advance Obelisk Swarmers that you can get from the 'Dyson Mission - A Step Between Stars' work on this ship also.

[@randalldederick]

Probably will.

[@AzraelThanatos]

Yeah, there really isn't anything but cosmetics for the ships in the event store...unlike the winter one where it's pretty much a necessity for anyone who wants to play as Breen

[@bradparker727]

If I'm not mistaken, you can do any of the activities to get the daily done

[@MCStu]

That is correct, the Jetpack race. It’s just the fastest and most straightforward.

[@savagebear4374]

Passing on this. No idea where to go, what to do, or how to do it. I'd complete Lobi, but I don't have enough.

[@MCStu]

This video will show you how to do the event, its pretty easy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH_RcmCsosuSr5osi=Cg6TXH4ail-_wtjE

[@joshuaskipps7380]

Cant you put a kit mod on each of your away team/Boff after upgrading them with a Boff train token, and in turn have each of them use a different element and then reap the rewards?

[@MCStu]

Yas

[@CRYOKnox]

Playing a carrier is not about how they blast away enemies it's about swarming the enemy with in trillion gob flies and their pointy needles of death.

[@necronix9947]

I still got 30K from last year, Never thought about selling it, I always give it away as it take up to many slots. :0)

[@manishghosh3934]

If you still got spare, I'll take some em 😂

[@koppadasao]

Who was insulted as being a "despicable Mellanoid Slime Worm", and how did he react?

[@short72hp1]

Hi how much does the buyout normaly cost? thanks

[@MCStu]

I believe it’s a couple thousand Lobi I don’t remember the exact amount.

[@needparalegal]

I have been doing this for 11 years, can I survive doing the event on all 5 alt accounts one last time?

[@MCStu]

I’m right there with you lol

[@Nemoticon]

Will progress in this add to the Special Events Campaign progress?

[@MCStu]

No

[@Nemoticon]

@@MCStu Cheers👍

[@roguetrooper292]

probably another 3-3 sci carrier tbh

[@gildartsclide]

What character level can I start doing events like this?

[@MCStu]

I believe you only need to have the tutorial completed so the full map is open to you.

[@MCStu]

So should be somewhere around level 10 or 12

[@doubt3430]

Its free and sexy I will not care if the stats are bad

[@gamingveteran2023]

It's pronounced Vovin...😂

[@user-ih5pz3sd7u]

anything on a buyout?

[@MCStu]

Buyout normally cost lobi

[@christophermills7693]

Gonna name mine the most offensive name I can th I nk of and it will be Rogal Dorn. I never said which kind of offensive Edit: forgot to say for the emperor

[@CoalD1]

The grind to get the currency is ridiculous, the winter one is worse cause of the multiple currencies (targ ear muffs are the bane of my existence)

[@terranadmiral6758]

Honestly if I can’t buy it out I’ll probably just pass on the event

[@randalldederick]

Why? It's super easy.

[@CaptainJasonC]

I agree not my cup of tea

[@suicydekyng8612]

its a matter of opinion that carriers are "not as good" what are you trying to do? min/maxing DPS is ridiculous in this game. Nobody cares if you can solo ICE in under a minute, and your ruining it for other people who actually want to play the TFO, get a life.

[@wroth1978]

Event is so annoying and clunky...f it

[@rogeryoung9934]

“Not quite as good as other ships” That’s skill issue talk. Just sayin’

[@MCStu]

Objectively not as good, but can still get the job done.

[@novastarmew]

you missed the single most important part. Beach outfit event time! Bikinis and trunks!

[@short72hp1]
