I was hoping for an honor sale myself but if it comes later this is fine with me too. Later means even more savings until then.

Honor sits until we have a reason to spend it.
If I don't have a reason, I can sit on it forever. I've built scale models for nearly thirty years. You learn patience, if nothing else. (That and paint spotted sweatpants should not be worn near an open flame.)
*I have 7 gold and 6 purple cites.
*I have enough FF crew to keep me busy without citing them up. I'm fusing a couple a week just from Voyages. I run about 2 a day.
*I can FE others and let them sit until stars drop.
*I have episodes to finish. I didn't realize how long I'd neglected them until I needed a component today, picked a 2 star episode, and realized it needed less than 600 points a node to pass. Thanks to everyone who mentioned episodes on the Resolutions thread. Mine are getting finished this year.
No honor sale is a disappointment, but it's to 420k and climbing. The longer the wait, the bigger the horde and I may be in a position to be choosier with how I spend it.

Convergence Day is going to be their big celebration this holiday season, so I'm not too bothered by the lack of a big deal made in December. But to be honest, they've always done sort of a poor job hyping their own stuff. Like, we got a gold citation added to deals for a few weeks, which resulted in a few great deals like $5 cites or 10x10 packs with a cite attached. They could have just sent out a mail or something to let people know and wish everyone a Happy Holidays. Especially with the Adira issue hanging over things during Christmas week.
Also, I'm really expecting them to roll out the red carpet for the anniversary. Honor sale, slot sale, great deals, all of it, because we've had small mistake after small mistake recently - really simple stuff that shows a lack of care in my opinion. If that's because they're all hands on deck working on this Q1 new feature and a big anniversary blow out, then it can be forgiven. If not, then I'm starting to be concerned a bit.
To follow up; the lack of an honor or slot sale is a big disappointment to me. I can understand why they can't afford to make it regular and destroy their own honor economy, but it really creates a lull in between. Hope they rework it to be a series of different offers or a smaller cap on how much honor can be spent during them, so that no one feels obligated to save and hamper their playing in the meantime.
Outside of that, I'm enjoying playing the game and Friday's portal announcement + next month's feature sounds interesting.
I appreciate having this game right now. We're in a lockdown - can only meet with 1 other person and can't travel more than 15 km away from home/work. Having made friends from STT and seeing new crew every week has helped me out in a tough time for everyone. Thanks to everyone who uplifts others and helps drive discussion on here and other STT places.
I dont really want a rushed honor sale just in response to the community outrage or disappointment. At this point it would be like someone giving you flowers because they messed up.
I want an honor sale and other perks to the game when they decide to do so.
However, the fact that they chose to skip it this year in favor of a smaller celebration speaks volumes and will greatly effect my spending habits.
When we do eventually get an honor sale, if they change the deals, costs, pack limits etc from what they have done the last couple times I think it will be a game changer, and one that I may not stick around after. The honor sale is probably the single most exciting and fun parts of the game. And in my opinion something that is greatly needed to balance the game.
I am choosing to be patient and wait for when the sale drops naturally... just please don't mess it up.
Annoyed. No real difference from the rest of the year apart from the disappointing “festive” anticlimax.
I was waiting patiently for jan 12, convergence day to include “festive period”.
Very disappointed.
Some special offers for $$$,
free Paris and temporary achievements,
oh!! A new Avatar
long awaited and asked for portal change. (Set to be released on the same day as $$$ offers. Not really festive gifting.)
An extended campaign “experiment” that was coupled with event participation.
None of the above was/is festive gifting. Its all things that happen a few times a year anyway.
1. No honor sale, ok if it is on the schedule i can wait, no problem.
2. No crew slots or crew slot sale
3. None of..... the list continues for a normal festive period December through January.
The upcoming Ardira, convergence Quark, “in this together” free portal claims are standard or “sorry claims”, nothing to do with festive period.
Very unfortunate start to 2021 when we all look forward to convergence day so much and really could have used the “pick me up” fun and excitement right now. Nothing exciting has happened.
Im thankful for my fleet family and the people i have met in STT, that we all try to support each other and keep spirits up.
Thanks DB for creating fleets. 🖖🏻

Rushed? Just copy and paste the code from the last one.
Underwhelmed. We didn’t get an honour sale, crew slots, crew giveaway etc
Paris spent TONS of time in Sick Bay assisting the Doctor in Voyager. Swapping his incredibly pedestrian Command / Diplomacy / Security skillset- for Command / Security / Medical or anything working Medical into his skillset would have been such a welcome addition. And IF there had been a Five Year Anniversary Honor Sale there would have been much rejoicing (yaaaaaaaay) from the vast majority of players during these miserable pandemic times.

I never understood this on Voyager. During a space battle there are multiple injured and you need a medic. What else do you need during a ship battle? Your best pilot flying. Your pilot and medic cannot be in two locations at the same time. Also, one of Voyagers primary functions was science. What do people of science study? Biology. What is medicine? Biology. What do you not need during a space battle? Scientists. There would be many people on board that had taken numerous science classes and could switch over to medic. Also, why would you pick the lazy guy who is always complaining to have a second job that involves much study and discipline? Even if Janeway wanted him to do it, he should have then just ordered Harry to do it. Harry loves science, studying, and being compliant.
If I recall correctly though, Tom had already completed a medics course at the Academy. (I'd bet you all the assets Quark and Ishka have it involved a girl!) Anything he studied later was more nursing and less emergency related.
This was similar to Cutler assisting Phlox. She was a qualified medic and the closest they had to a nurse.
I always thought it would have been a million times funnier if the EMH had tried to program himself an assistant and, while absolutely competent, her bedside manner was worse than his at times or he'd try tweaking something and she'd be neurotic or a bimbo or aggressive, etc. while he was trying to get it to balance out. The B stories would have been epic.

You just created a genre of fan fiction I didn't know we needed!
You know he had to have considered it. He tried a holographic sex doll for pon farr. He had a holographic family. A holographic assistant had to have crossed his mind over Tom Paris.
I kind of pictured her as Bebe Neuwirth when I imagined it. Her hitting on every thing that moved, including Janeway would have ended that little project!

I say rushed, but what I mean is don't just give us an honor sale because we are upset, like how we are getting Adira. I want them to give it to us because they want to keep us excited and engaged (instead if trying to mend fences).
It was suggested that they don't want us to hoard currencies but offer no reason not to. Little heads up is given to event types, sales etc, we have no choice but to save up and be prepared for such things, be forces to sit out or spend boat loads of money to take part... oh. I get it now. No thanks, I'll save a bit so as to enjoy these things more.
I just have to say, I love the new Paris, just as I loved Bones last year. But last year Bones was just the beginning.
Tomorrow will have to be GRAND, otherwise people will freak out about the most boring CD ever. Myself included tbh.

I agree. I was actually excited for CD, for the last couple of months I have been looking forward to this. It has been a big let down so far. I am still clinging to something unannounced tomorrow that will be worthy of being called a celebration. Something to get people excited, and not something strictly for big spenders either, that's not a celebration.
Around noon ET (17:00 UTC) on Tuesday, January 12, we’ll release Grudge as our fifth anniversary avatar! She'll be available for all Captains having been with us from the very beginning. Newer Captains will have to wait until their game account turns five.
That’s only the first part of our celebration, stay tuned for more details about what will come next.
Well, I stayed tuned. I wonder when the announcement for "more" will be?

Same here. Waiting for the “news” ~19 hours from now, and hoping that it is amazing.

Welp. I can officially vote now. I think the last straw for me was todays citation station offer.
Very annoyed.
This.
/edit: Just I am not spending on this bad offer.

I want to change my answer.
The game has been lackluster during both the holiday season and their 5th anniversary "celebrations."
I have gone back to playing other mobile games over the last week. I was quite happy to see their new years deals were still up.
Annoyed. No real difference from the rest of the year apart from the disappointing “festive” anticlimax.
From the 5 year announcement: "We look forward to what comes next for our game, and to continuing to hear from you." Ok here goes: Thhthtpthththhhttthhh!!! And you can quote me on that!

An honour sale would go a long way towards making a more positive vibe.
