I wonder if the "14th" is a typo and/or if the "21st" will be kept as the end date, considering this was posted today (2024 Oct 17).

Fair point! I think you're spot on with the quality of the episodes (as game pieces) themselves. Story, meh, but game design/graphics, wow!
We'll see what happens. As the famous trombone player said, "Fate protects fools, little children, and ships named Enterprise."

Well said. And it's been an enjoyable journey throughout.
Some of the stories have been lackluster here and there, but that in itself is Star Trek. Not every show/game/story is going to be for everyone, yet beautifully all are welcome as trekkers/trekkies.

The game will probably soldier on for a significant period of time.
Agreed, but I would adjust that wording (whether "solidering", "limping", or "on life support") based on how the first DECA content feels.
It will probably be in a “zombie” state, not unlike that of Champions Online (as I understand it, I don’t really play that game).
Feels like it has been since 2020, if not a little before, IMO.
We’re closer to STO’s end than its beginning.
STO 2 when? 😛 Joking aside, we really are near its end. I wish that 3D model company hadn't turned and run after taking orders (yes, they refunded eventually); I'd have liked to have some of my ships as models to remember STO.

Personally, I think they were just someone's way to get lines spoken as if from those alien comics (by Nathan Pyle) that are popular online right now. Lines like, "Evasion is beneficial to us" instead of "Watch out". Or "Observe" instead of "Look".
I don't think there's any real story to it or, at least, no story that anyone at Cryptic cared to create before leaving/sleeping on the project.

At this point, with as many years as STO has had, I'm guessing "shard maintenance" is just a chance to clean out the hamster cages for the next week.

I didn't even notice this posting. In fact, I was surprised when I saw the shard message in-game today; I figured they were skipping this week.

This one was a variation on "Ninth Rule". Same system too. Like the other patrol, this one took about 3 minutes in a DPS ship while learning the mechanics of the patrol. It feels "slower" than the other patrol, probably because there's more hopping around the map (just like Ninth Rule). The waves at the end are super easy compared to even a Normal Ninth Rule.

This one took about 3 minutes in a DPS ship while taking a tiny bit of time to learn the mechanics. Pretty easy and quick. This will likely be what I do to run the daily and just do it twice. I can probably shave it down to about 2 minutes once I know the map better.

I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.
I wouldn't consider myself a DPS chaser either, since I haven't even parsed my ship builds in at least a year or two. However, I definitely follow the meta and know I have (or at least) had some high DPS when I did parse.
TLDR: Maybe not a DPSer, more like a fast-damage hobbyist.

How does this one feel, compared to other patrols? Sounds similar to the "Rescue and Search" patrol.

PC Patch Notes for 8/8/24 **General:** - Resolved an issue that caused some Romulan Duty Officer missions to only grant Klingon aligned Duty Officers no matter what faction the captain was aligned to. - As part of this fix, Federation aligned Captains who received these Klingon aligned Duty Officers will have the correct Duty Officers granted to them. - Resolved an issue with the Elite Force Sniper Rifle that caused its FX to appear on dead enemies rather that its active target. - Resolved further cases of the windows of the Premonition appearing to flicker. **Known Issues:** - Currently the Achilles Miracle Worker Heavy Destroyer is defaulting to normal Quantum Slipstream Drive over the cyclical quantum slipstream drive.
