Ok, we’ll be digging into Eve shortly, but first, let’s cover this week’s news…
AIE News
Community
Just a reminder that we have an AIE Discord server for all games and activities that AIE is involved in. Just hit the front page of http://umami.aie-universal.net and once you’ve authenticated, check the bulletin entitled – AIE’s Discord Server.
Oh, and big AIE podcast news! Tetsemi and I had a meeting and we decided…… no, we aren’t the podcast, but we decided on a new third chair! He will be joining us in the next few shows and is an awesome member of our community, In fact, there are some weeks when I am pretty sure he has provided half of the show material for us. Wonder who it is? You will have to tune in and see…. Or hear.
WoW
Too busy playing … I’m kidding, there have been a ton of hotifxes for content and class abilities, to keep up to date, check WoWHead or MMO-Champion, they always have a good list of the hotfixes and developer communication. Speaking of developer communication, Blizzard held a Q&A with Ion Hazzikostas this week and covered topics ranging from the state of launch up through Patch 7.1 (Return to Kharazan) and when it will hit the PTR. I love that they’re already talking about more content even though I’m currently drowning in things to do in game, which is amazing.

LOTRO
Gorgesh posted in the forums about a recent developer interview with a community site, covering a timeline for content through 2018.
http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/57199-layoffs-at-turbine/#entry953202
Turbine is calling the next major content release an expansion, so it will be a significant update, which I understand will take us into Mordor and eventually up to the Black gate.

STO
RRF Captain Cybyls Star Trek Online News Summary for week ending 09/11/2016:
1. The 50th Anniversary of Star Trek occurred on September 8. In celebration of this amazing achievement, Star Trek Online gave away the 23rd Century Bundle for free and for 24 hours only, starting September 8, at 2pm Pacific time on PC, Playstation4 and Xbox One. This bundle includes the Class F Shuttle, the entire Original Series Ship Interior, the Command Tunic Uniform, the Medical Officer Uniform, the Formal Dress Uniform, as well as a TOS phaser weapon. If you missed this offer, you haven’t been taking our nagging seriously to visit the STO website. Tsk, tsk.
2. As reported previously, the current release ‘Temporal Cold War’ time-travel episodes came to an unexpected conclusion, not through gameplay, but through blog backstories. Yet another backstory has been posted on the website with hints of mission hints to come. A fascinating must-read and again, I shall refrain from spoilers.
3. On September 6, Star Trek Online was finally released for Xbox One and Playstation4. 6 years of gameplay content will be playable right from day one! Huge improvements in graphics and UI are featured. As with the PC version, it will be 100% free to download and play.
4. STO, Cryptic Studios, Perfect World and CBS announced a partnership with Eucled to allow players the ability to 3D print any ship they own with infinite variations of customisation as a durable plastic model. A free desk stand is included. Take note: these are not tiny 2-inch models but are 12+ inches big. This service will be available soon.
5. The usual reminder: The AIE Classis’ Fleet Starbase is still seeking contributions of materiel and duty officers from all AIE fleet mates. Check out the Fleet holdings tab in the Fleet’s in-game menu for donation needs.
6. Please check out further news, backstories, patch release notes, forums, commentary, etc., at the Star Trek Online website .
Until next time, RRF Captain Cybyl signing off
