Three Years
Travis S McClain
✭✭✭✭✭

Congrats, Travis! Out of curiosity, did you happen to just know your anniversary, or is there some way one could find this out? Bit curious myself.
Flemming Beta
I wasn't around from the beginning but was close as my 3 years is coming up in June. There really wasn't much to the game back then. I remember being able to join a fleet and just thought what the heck is the point of these? Speaking of fleets, shouldn't you also need to add in fleets being added within that timeline?

This is what has been added since I started playing.
Also, congrats on your third anniversary!
I emailed support some time in 2017 and they looked it up.
That was a big thing, but it was part of the introduction of the Honor Hall, as noted in the 2.0 notes.
Fleets were already a thing by time I joined, though Fleet Targets didn't come along until the 2.1.0 build on 6/19/17. Adding that to the list. Good catch!
I don't know that that's an entirely fair characterization. I'm not sure there's been all that much room for dramatic innovation since the introductions of the Cryostasis Vault, Gauntlet, Honor Hall, and Voyages.
You seem more experienced. I jumped in shortly after Collections.
@RennJaxo to add to your question for the anniversary date. I went back and found the first event I had done and then watched the avatar list till the 2 year avatar showed up and it ended up being the 27th of June.
@Travis S McClain I was just adding to the story of the honor points as I found the change from trainers to honor a good one. I had stopped playing for a few months after getting a new job and came back to that change. Was even more excited once I noticed the honor was being calculated at 4 crew when airlocking a 4/4*. I was always annoyed by the fact that before I would only get credit like it was a 1/4* for trainers.
Also glad I could help with the fleet addition of Fleet Targets for the list.
Good catch. Also added the introduction of the Borg Faction that same day.
Yeah, there have been a handful of instances where something appeared in some capacity in one part of the game before it was actually added in another. But so far as I recall and can confirm, Citations were not actually a thing until the Honor Hall launched.
And the Klingon and Infinity distress calls
I agree with with Travis skirmishes and campaigns have been big improvements compared to many little quality of life changes also episode 9 and Borg faction is missing from the list not all the changes are recorded.
Edit: expansion of the distress calls / short treks also missing.
Also commendable that for a large chunk of the "primitive" era you made it through as f2p ... oh man, that was rough going back then ... your drivers and goals have been an inspiration.
Biggest changes for me:
- Cryostasis - when my collection bug really started.
- Gauntlet & Voyages - both flipped the way that we players looked at, and valued, crew big time ... obscure crew became critical (Seven of Nine) and good crew fell by the wayside ... game changers.
- Collections & Achievements - finally recognition for my collection bug.
Cadet Challenges Became Warpable
Distress Calls: Klingon Empire, Infinity
Episode 9
Event 5*'s now being in the following week's Featured Crew
Event 5*'s now being added to Thresholds in replays
Event Thresholds expanded
Also noted when the Enterprise-E was finally added, and when Waitress Ezri was added. To date, she's the only Ezri added since the game's launch.
That's a good point. I didn't go VIP 1 until my first anniversary. That first year was strictly VIP 0/F2P without the vast majority of these things. The ones that did benefit me during that year:
5/3/16 Cadet Challenge: The United Federation
5/17/16 Shuttle Boosts
6/14/16 Cadet Challenge: A Certain Formality
6/14/16 Distress Call: Celestial Temple
6/16/16 Galaxy Events
6/29/16 Battle Arena
7/15/16 Expedition Events
7/26/16 Episode 7 "When Falcons Clash"
7/28/16 Event Replays begin with "They Came From the Holodeck! 2"
8/9/16 Cryostasis Vault
8/9/16 Tap and Hold Training
8/30/16 Ad Warps
8/30/16 Replicator
8/30/16 Squadrons
10/5/16 Waitress Ezri, the only Ezri added since the game's launch
12/20/16 Supply Kits
1/30/17 Gauntlet
I might add Starbases and Warping Cadet Challenges to that list. Those were pretty big, too.
I'm just a few days older than collections 🎉

For those of you on iOS, you can check when you first downloaded STT on your Apple ID, via the AppStore App / Account / Purchased. In the beginning, I played for quite some time as guest, without registering with DB. I'm not sure when they start to count.
I’m on IOS and my App Store doesn’t show me that
I am very happy that you have been with us for so long in the game but more importantly, in this community.
Odd...here are some screenshots of the detailed steps to get there:
You are almost to cat playing piano level.
