No time changes in Arizona. Plus we have nice weather (mostly) and an open economy.
Hehe, nice weather except that you set a record this year for most days over 100 degrees (143 as of Oct. 14).
It has been a tad hot this summer. But for the past two days, I've actually had cold water from the tap for the first time in seven months, so there is that. Also, no snow. In fact, where I live we haven't had more than 5 minutes of rain for at least 4 months. I had enough of that in Washington; I'm happy with no rain.
“You have finally uncovered the impetus behind Spock’s quest to erase his Starfleet career: Riker Odan, a past love interest of Spock’s who lost him twice--first to his own Vulcan reserve, and then to Omicron Ceti III spores.“
Trill can live a long time but maybe it should be Leila he’s trying to change time for? Fleet is wondering if that’s a typo.
A quick PSA for the skirmish event, re: ship abilities.
Leila Kalomi (+3 to +7 evasion, 6 sec init, 8 sec duration, +1000 crit rating w/ cloak trigger).
Sybok (+4 to +7 evasion, 6 sec init, 8 sec duration, 10% shield repair).
EV Suit Spock (+5 to +9 accuracy, 8 sec init, 8 sec duration, +11 accuracy w/ position trigger).
Zarabeth (we won't know until Wed).
Unless Zarabeth has awesome ship skills (because being trapped in an ice age several millennia before your planet develops meaningful technology is a basis for elite ship skills?), I'd imagine most players would be better off with Spock or Sybok.
So... it seems being marooned in an ice age is a perfect time to work on one's starship battle skills. I stand corrected.

DST is recent to us Hoosiers. I hate it. In the decades since it started, the only thing it has managed to do for good was cause some terrorists to blow themselves up, because the bomb went off an hour sooner than they expected.

Now the event has started it looks like I was right to ask why there was no two star bonus ship last week , the normal ( lowest ) level only uses one star and two star ships . By making the lowest bonus ship three star it looks like TP have abandoned the newer players , or just consider them irrelevant . I hope this was just a one off oversight and will be rectified in future skirmish events .

The bonus ship is the wrong ship to use in most cases. Unless you have no completed ships, you're better off using your existing ship that is strongest rather than use the bonus ship. Bonus ships in skirmishes really need to be rethought.
I accept that , I don't use bonus ships anymore , but when you are first starting out a bonus ship can make all the difference . The only people that really need bonus ships are the newer people that haven't found the crew they need to use any ship they want to , in fact the people that have been denied a bonus ship this time .
Bonus ships in skirmishes really need to be rethought.
Making Bonus ships provide an actual real bonus instead of a minor illuminated light * when selecting the Featured Ship could be a win-win. Touch Point could sell more Ship Packs and players could use something different for each Skirmish.
Perhaps including a buff to ALL ship stats when using the featured ship would be enough to mix things up. This should be relatively easy to implement as well.
*I know it provides a Hull bonus, but it's so insignificant the only noticable effect is the lighted "Event Ship bonus" indicator

And then it snowed the next day, or something!

I am all for getting rid of DST!!
Every game I play, I have to get used to a different breast time, again!!!!!!
I don't want to give this year another hour. It's another hour we have to worry about Betty White.....
Why did you put that thought in my head?!
