Well, the fourth expansion of Star Trek Online, which brings us a sliver of the Gamma quadrant, gamma recruits, and the Jem'Hadar playable faction is here today! I had an opportunity to play a bit today as a new Jem'Hadar "first" (aka captain) under the name of Arak'Ouzo (yes having some fun with the name). The first couple of missions were quite fun to play, and flying a "bug-ship" is quite enjoyable. All of the other ship options I have are part of the Jem'Hadar pack, which means I have to pay to get them...so I guess I'll be sticking with my free T5 bug-ship (unless I want to fly a Federation ship). I decided to align the character with the federation faction for one simple reason: getting the character on the Fleet that I am part of so we can build things out faster in that fleet. The KDF aligned Jem'Hadar look like they have snazzier costumes, but pragmatism won. I guess I'll be doing a mission per day for now so that I can spend some time reading and making some progress on my dissertation proposal. This expansion launched at the worst time (for productivity purposes) :p
