Planet Killer? Boss battles?
Seems interesting. A return to the long rumoured Boss Battle?

Re: Happy First Contact Day!
It's very disheartening to see that because we have the means and the opportunities to provide a new crew (+ copies) more often and more easily, it's viewed as no longer special.
There's tons of work put into it, lots of thoughts as well, the intent is, and always will be, to do something nice for our players. Granted the execution had flaws this time.
I didn't want to say anything at first, because this is very typical of gaming communities and society as a whole, but I have hopes that we all can collectively be more mindful, and make this world a better place. Yes, I went there, no regret.
In conclusion, a big thank you to all who are appreciative of gestures, big and small.
As for those of you who are disappointed, that's perfectly fine, we all have different expectations, but maybe be more mindful in how you express said disappointment

You get a free 4/5 crew just for playing the game.
And it's a green blooded Vulcan to add to the collection.
We have been getting a 4/5 crew every month since objective events were introduced, so that has nothing to do with First Contact Day celebrations, aside from the theme. My point is that this year we are getting less on the day itself than has been the custom for several years, unless there is more to come.
We are getting more then before and still you are not happy? Tomorrow you get your free 5*,Let's not
More than what? Not previous First Contact Days or previous month-long objective events…
We are getting more free 5* then before the objective events were introduced.
Look up the word appreciation.
Not previous First Contact Days? Check again please:
2022:
1 Free 5*
5 crew slots
3 Additional copy's with easy events
2021:
1 Free 5*
Extra scans
2020:
1 Free 5*
A Diplomatic pack (some free stuff)
2019:
1 Free 5*
2018:
2063 Merits
Edit: Sorry Shan.
You are combining First Contact Day celebrations and objective events, which are mutually exclusive. A monthly OE was expected for May regardless of FCD, so the rewards for each should be considered separately. We aren’t getting a free 5* for FCD for the first time in the last 4 years. It’s not like we’re getting a free 5th copy of the OE featured 5* crew, which would be an incremental gift.
2021 FCD - 1/5 crew
March 2022 OE - 4/5 crew
2022 FCD - no crew
April 2022 OE - 4/5 crew
/
Please keep the snark to yourself.
Please don't pick and choose which parts of the FCD Event you want to acknowledge or ignore.
Starting on Wednesday, April 6, at 1am ET (5:00 UTC) look out for:
- a free giveaway pack of the iconic Solkar, the Vulcan who made First Contact on Earth with Zefram Cochrane.
- an Endurance Objective Event allowing you to gain 3 additional copies of Solkar
Both will be available until Thursday, May 5.
The Objective Event clearly IS part of the FCD Event. Excluding it to claim this is less than we usually get? When usually we get a Legendary from a BeGold? Disingenuous at best. This year we are getting FOUR copies of the Legendary. Which is more than one. And people say I am negative and contentious.
Happy First Contact Day, and more!
Greetings, Captains!
It is that time of the year where we celebrate First Contact Day!
This year we’re celebrating with:
- five free crew slots for everyone, bringing the base total to 165
- a free giveaway pack in honor of Star Trek Mission: Chicago
Starting on Wednesday, April 6, at 1am ET (5:00 UTC) look out for:
- a free giveaway pack of the iconic Solkar, the Vulcan who made First Contact on Earth with Zefram Cochrane.

New collection
Our Mega-Event starts later this week, as announced the featured trait will be the ‘displaced’ trait, and for the occasion we’re releasing the corresponding collection, “Temporal Calamity”.
Star Trek: Mission Chicago
STAR TREK TIMELINES will be present at the convention, from Friday until Sunday! (April 8 to April 10)
WRG_Ben will share some facts about the game, and answer questions, on Friday, April 8 from 5pm to 5:45 pm (local time), in room W470(a-b).
He will also await you in the gaming arena to show you a very early demo of a brand new upcoming feature.
A video of the demo will also be made available to everyone later this week, exciting times!
Server Release
With this week’s server release we’ve made the following changes:
- addition of the Tal Shiar trait to Investigator Laris
- Angela Martine gets a flavor text
- the proficiency on Resistance Burnham’s Uniform 5* is now in the proper order
- Badge Challenged Linus’ Tricom 5* stats are now more in line with the quality of the item, the overall stats have been changed as follow: DIP proficiency 102-242 (previously 102-202)
We’re looking forward to the week ahead, and we hope you are too!
Thank you for playing,
The STAR TREK TIMELINES Team

I did a quick search but was not able to find a translation for that Vulcan writing.
It translates: TO SERVE MAN

Who's Captain Semel? @Shan , this looks like this will affect the way the event functions.
This is an old internal name for the crew, it would be looked into but it should not affect the event as the objective will look for the crew symbol, which has not changed.

Re: Happy First Contact Day!
I love how this crew came out, especially the brooch/broach - though it might be too big to qualify as such 
That's part of the fun of participating in the creation process, seeing details that I didn't remember and/or have missed.

So no free 5* as in previous years, just an announcement for another monthly objective event that we’ve been getting every month lately?
There will be a free copy of Solkar.
