(NOTE: Al did not say alot, due to unreleased blogs/content, watch for future blogs)
AoY takes place in 2270, after TOS Season 3
"Future Proof" Story Arc continues in AoY, separate, but interconnected from the TOS Episodes
TOS Faction will have its own tutorial, starting experience, sector block
Episodes will have unique dialogue for TOS Characters
More Celebrities coming in future blogs
AoY has been in planning since Season 9.5
Race options for TOS will be limited to that Era (No Trills, Cardassians, Pakleds, etc)
TOS Captains are considered a "Minor Faction", just like how the romulans are
AoY is FEDERATION ONLY, NO KDF/RRF
TOS Ships will have an option for 4-Digit Registries, and the NX Class will be upgraded for 2-Digit Registries
Blog Release schedule is 2-3 blogs/week
Eventually the TOS players will be able to run with normal players
No new Fleet Holdings with AoY, but a new one is in the planning phase
The game is up to over 500 ships
The TOS-Era ships can only be used by TOS Captains, the 26th Century Ships (Enterprise-J Lineage) can be used by TOS and Federation Captains, and the 31st Century Ships (Timeship Lineage) are available to All Factions
If you have the TOS and 26th versions of a ship, you can use the TOS costume as an option
There are free versions of TOS ships for those who don't buy anything
You dont need ARC to buy the ship packs if you have STO downloaded from another source Pre-ARC
Temporal Recruit Event is Delta Recruit 2.0, bigger, better, longer objectives
Each Account will get a new Toon Slot for the Temporal Recruit
More Queues coming, Basic, Advanced and Elite versions of new queues, no Elite/Revamped versions of older queues at this time
Elite-Only queues like Korfez are very cost-inefficient
No Information about No Win Scenario's return (Al was very diplomatic about it, could be coming back since the term was coined in Kirk's era)
Alot of really big things coming relating to the 50th anniversary, less than half of planned content has been revealed
Working with the new TV Show Like Defiance Tried): Not at this time, perhaps in the future
Launch Date is almost set, will have formal announcement when it's 100% locked down
