Captain's Log: Every week episodes (finally) start with a bang
Well, well, well. If it is not our new mate, Mr. Every week Episode. You sure took your sweet time getting here. What happened, you get stuck in traffic on the intergalactic turnpike or something? This is why you don't warp anywhere near Bajor in the coursework of rush hour.
It is true: Cryptic Studios has released the first of Star Trek Online's long-awaited every week episodes. The shiny new mission, titled Chilled Call, introduces new races, new faces and new places. It is new! Read on, intrepid explorers, as Captain's Log plays through our first every week episode, and they learn whether it was worth the wait.
Every week episodes?
Welcome to STO's newest addition. Calling them feature episodes, the parents at Cryptic plan to release one of these children every week for the foreseeable future. They advertised them heavily as part of Season 2: Ancient Enemies, but that patch hit servers at the finish of July. Every week episode numero uno, Chilled Call, went live on Saturday, fully a month later. So I'll forgive you in the event you kind of forgot about the feature entirely.
So what are these episodes meant to accomplish? Trumpeting the addition of a single episode each week seems daft. But the developers have massive designs for these quests. Executive Producer Daniel Stahl explained in early July that the idea is for every week episodes to replicate the fun of the various tv series by offering short story arcs. They compared them to the popular Past Imperfect storyline that Federation players encounter comparatively early in the game.
Stahl said story arcs will span six or four every week episodes, and that they are going to tell a complete story. Although, the first story arc appears to consist of only two episodes, so I am not sure whether designs have changed a bit already.
The first story arc
Truth be told, I had planned to write up the every week episodes after a few had gone live, to receive a feel for the developing storyline. But the devs took their sweet time releasing this first episode, and I didn't require to wait any longer. And, my fella is moving to China in six weeks, so MMO time will be severely limited while I help him pack.
Ergo, Latin for therefore, they get to speak about every week episodes today! And we'll check back in a few weeks to see how they are progressing.
Alrighty then! With the introduction of Chilled Call, they start Series 1 of the every week episodes. According to Cryptic's new timeline page, the series will cover two episodes. The second episode, Out in the Chilled, ought to go live this Saturday, and the third, Chilled Comfort, is set for the following Saturday, September 11th.
Series 1 kind of introduces six races to STO. First up are the Deferi, a neutral race (meaning they like Feds and Klingons) that lives on the planet Defera in the Deferi Sector. They have appeared in STO for every day questing and such, but this is their massive moment in the spotlight.
This first series of every week episodes revolves around defending the Deferi against our second new race, the Breen. A bunch of jerks who look suspiciously like Princess Leia dressed up as a bounty hounter, the Breen joined up with the Jem'Hadar and the Dominion to be extra-mean to the Federation. Now they are back, menacing the Deferi!
Set coursework for the Deferi Sector
When I first logged in after the Saturday release of Chilled Call, a massive brown bulletin box appeared, urging me to hightail it to the Deferi Sector. Given the directionless start to diplomacy, I worried that the developers might also slip in feature episodes without any instructions. I was six times pleasantly surprised.
On the galaxy map, the Deferi Sector appears above the Cardassia Sector. Since I was six times parked near Deep Space Nine, I headed north of the Badlands to the Orellius Sector Block. That name doesn't appear on the map, but that is where the Deferi and Raveh sectors reside.
Immediately on your entering the Deferi Sector, Ambassador Surah rings up your ship, requesting help. Surah invites you to Defera because his people are finally thinking about closer ties to the Federation. Then, as you warp in to the Defera process, "Cold Call" appears on the screen in a TV-ish font, immediately setting the tone for a more-exciting-than-usual mission.
