The Lore Timeline In Star Trek Online Makes No Sense, Time Spans Are Ludicrous

[ItsTime]

In the lore of star trek online before events in game, there is a 4 year long full scale war between the Klingon Empire and Gorn Hegemony.

Now there are 8 different war's within the time span of 1 year.

It has only become 2411 recently, it was the year 2410 for literally 9 years of star trek online story episode content editions. They never made clear references to the current year often, only in cold storage they did which is a mission from the year 2010 but the devs making it 2411 recently is just proof this time line is ludicrous.

I don't go along with this at all, I pretend there is really a 3 month time span between episode missions in star trek online. The Iconian war lasted 1.5 years. Saying there is 1 month in between missions would put the timeline more in line with how often they add new story content to the game so I suppose the war could have lasted 8 months.

I remember tweeting the devs about this a long time ago and when I did they switched the year to 2411 not long after, I think they did it in an attempt to bother me, they don't really care that the chronology span of events is far fetched.

Dude, regular time travel, multiple dimensions, mirror universes and transdimensional fungi.
That's just SOME of the far-out stuff that's regular for Star Trek.
The STO devs have merely fully embraced all the crazy ♥♥♥♥ the original Star Trek writers across multiple shows over 60 years came up with, put it all in a wormhole-sized blender, threw in some quantum-tetryon charges for seasoning and ramped the thing up to 11.

So don't even try to make proper sense of it all or find some consistent continuity in a timeline in this wild hodgepodge of everything Star Trek. Just switch off your brain and have a fun ride! It all doesn't make real sense anyway and reckless contrivance is the standard guiding principle of it all. Everything is content shall be the only law!

And yes, the timeline is just a convoluted, nonsensical mess just as is the spaghetti code of STO. It's all just pseudo-science fiction, pure schlocky entertainment. Embrace it.

Just pretend whatever you want like everybody else does. They're not going to address it because they're too busy thinking up the next $120 legendary ship they can sell.

True. There has been more content removed from the game at this point than has been added. And most of the stuff that's added is more things to buy, not things to do.
