[align=center:38w2tx0v]Early Access for F2P[/align:38w2tx0v]

We are pleased to announce that the doors are opening a little early for Star Trek Online free-to-play for a limited set of people.

Starting tomorrow (Thursday, January 5th), anyone with a lapsed subscription to Star Trek Online will be able to log into the game and play as a Silver member. This means that any account that has in the past subscribed to the game, even if only for the initial month, can come back and play for free!

For those of you not familiar with the difference between Gold (subscriber) and Silver (non-subscriber) membership, you can refer to the features matrix. The most important fact is that previous subscribers can jump right in and play their existing characters with no extra steps and no loss of anything they previously gained for their characters.

Early access is our way of thanking the many loyal customers who sat in the Captain's chair during the past two years. Free-to-play opens for the general public in less than two weeks, on 17-01 (January 17th).

Welcome back!

I wasn't going to spoil the surprise yet.. but .....

I've already worked "much" of this core idea into new Title, Accolade, Gear and Costume unlocks from running the revamped STF's.

Here is the short version...

Captain D'Vak (the Starfleet Klingon who used to give out the STF missions) has been promoted. He is now Admiral D'Vak.

To combat the increased Borg activity (and future shared threats), both Starfleet Command and the KDF has agreed to form a special unit that will be placed under his command.

This unit is operated outside the normal channels with the full cooperation of both governments. Both Starfleet and the KDF have agreed to channel resources (both personnel and equipment) to the joint operation.

Although both parties are still at war, neither government can afford to ignore threats like the Borg. Any Starfleet or KDF personnel that volunteer to serve in this special unit, agree to leave their personal differences on their home world and fight for the greater cause.

Admiral D'Vak has split up the unit into two divisions (think Delta Force and Navy Seals). Individual teams will be comprised of personnel from both divisions, however each division will maintain their own name and individual rank structure.

All Starfleet personnel belong to the Elite Task Force division.
All KDF personnel belong to the Honor Guard division.

Each division has it's own internal rank structure, unique look, unique equipment and unique perks (associated with division rank and or accolades). There are also shared looks, equipment, and perks that both divisions have access to, however these shared items are unavailable to standard KDF or Starfleet personnel.

These new divisions come together under Admiral D'Vak's Command, to form the joint "Special Forces" branch for both organizations.

All of this will be introduced with the revamped STF's. I hope you guys really like it, I've worked pretty hard to put it together for you.... Oh and one last note... While it is true that the MACO's are no longer a special forces unit within Starfleet, you will notice an all too familiar "shark" is part of the Starfleet Elite Task Force Division patch, which shows up on the Elite Task Force Gear


Goz...

Left to Right... Elite Task Force (Starfleet),Kellerun Infiltrator (both factions), Honor Guard (KDF)

WANT!

Happy Birthday Xei
