It's official

Could be interesting. Wonder how they will handle the overlap with VIL? Maybe the great response to VIL taught them nothing in this game sparks more interest than new content and all that goes with it.

*cheers*  I love new content   TP I wonder if it means that we will have another temporal operative type   of toon?


The linked article gave me the answer.  It sounds fun, I am not a huge fan of discovery but I would do the content. 

I think I would need to do another rewatch of it, but it isn't a bad show.  But I just find the canon and lore of it a bit wonky.

That is not revealed yet. However it is speculated that you will be catapulted into the future via a Spore-Drive accident. Given the fact, that the Delta Recruitment returned this year, I have a feeling that the Temporal Agent recruitment returns as well, but this time using DSC toons instead of TOS ones.

That should be fun, I loved the temporal agent storyarc.  I would be willing to do another one.

I really hope we can have another temporal toon. I deleted my last one without even thinking about it. Just realized it the other day.

My first thought when I saw this: YES! I was hoping there'd be some good Discovery content!

My second thought: Aw shit, I'm gonna have to make a new toon. I thought my 27th would be my last!  Picard Facepalm 

At least I'll have some time to save up zen to buy more character slots. lol

I see they are expanding the reputation system to 6. I wonder if it will be just the new rep or if all will need to be raised 1 more tier.


RE: "Age of Discovery" Expansion coming this year!" - Trudard - 07-27-2018

I guess and it is a guess that they have said raised the system i.e that would infer the entire lot! I really hope not but I am reading it that way.

I am very disappointed with this new content mentioned, I have 4 new characters 3 deltas and my Gamma. I would like to get them all finished but if they keep making us create more characters its gonna get ridiculous. Also I need to think about increasing my dill farming again Sad
