BlaqWolf,
There is always going to be that guy. Life, games there are shitheels who waste our air (real or virtual 😀 ). Maybe you will reconsider. This is a solid fleet with some great people in it. Don’t worry about the asshats; We can’t choose who gets to play the game but we can enjoy playing the game with the company we choose.
Either way; Best of Luck,

Sounds really cool sovereign. I’ll wait until your next post so I see what format you are presenting your own character’s in.
STO song? Here’s a real oddity the even the CRTC would approve of. It’s a bit of Canadiana recorded live in 1976 by FM. I’m not even sure what you would call this but I’ll go with prog rock/electronica. The mandolin player is Nash the Slash without bandages. I was surprised to hear that he had died last year. Oh, the music; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY9NVFhZlkg FM, Phasors on Stun.
I didn’t want to start an additional thread but figured if I filed this under so dorky it’s cool it would fit right in.
A random I flew by had named their captain Edith Keeler. Off the top of my head I couldn’t remember why I thought the name familiar. Disgusted but not too proud to google 😀 I was reminded it was Joan Collin’s soup kitchen operator from the TOS. Among the montage of images was a handdrawn pic of Keeler as “Temperance. I followed the link.
I guess the woman who posted them is into tarot cards and she and her husband are both trek fans. At the link is the full deck he made for her referencing characters from the show as elements of the arcanas and suits. Pretty nerdy but pretty cool at the same time.
I think the best option is a combination of the the exploration and foundry overhaul. Exploration system needs to be integrated into a robust, accessible foundry. It’s the only way I can see enough content being produced to make it have any more re playability than series story missions. I think they need to provide a fixed incentive to authors. To illustrate this look at how people will play stupid min games because there is a prize at the end. Encourage people to make a worthwhile addition to the game and reward them for doing it.
Hi Germany,
Welcome to the 44th. Snooping on facebook? That’s tapped. You don’t have to track facebook accounts in this fleet because we share all of our stupid cat pictures on these forums :).
Thanks Stone, that was good for a laugh. When I first read the thread title I thought it was going to be an opinions thread where we could shame anyone who prefers star wars into repenting their sins against sci fi :).
Thanks Sargon. I think the interface must have changed at some point. I remembered being able to find accolades a long time ago but I had no idea how to get there for ages.
A question to anyone who tracks these things; Where are your accolades and score for same located? I’m curious because I’ve been playing for quite a while but never so much I went seeking it out. I think I’m afraid to look….after almost 3 three years I’m reasonably confident I can beat Marcase and Sargon’s 3-5 month scores :).
I could see cross faction mastery traits rearing their heads from a lock box somewhere down the road. As KDF I’d love to run off with the feds reciprocity. As a fed I would like the Klingon torpedo shock wave. As a Romulan I’d take anything I could get but nobody would want my junk :). For me the can of worms has been open since they introduced cross faction consoles so if I had complaints the ship already sailed.
That is not cat-tastic at all Sargon; It really wasn’t the sort of thing I expected to find on the thread so I’m sorry I haven’t replied sooner. I’m sad to hear about your loss and hope that Zappa comes home to you.
The nukara dailies are a pretty nice free ride for dilithium. If you can find a couple other fleeties and run through the easy and medium missions from the base camp you can put a nice chunk of your daily 8500 down. I went along for the ride with AzureAlliance two evenings fairly recently and the payouts were pretty solid. There were three of us one night and it was totally doable with two the second time around.
I like the advanced undine infiltration because it’s short, gives me a nice stash of undine marks and dilithium and is virtually pug proof if you can’t find anyone else around. A full fleet group would be awesome because then you can maximize the payout without some pug anus screwing up the interrogations 🙂 .
I’m pretty sure I realized that STO didn’t quite feel Trek at some point during my first couple in game hours. Watching Tony Todd as Admiral Ramirez delivering his speech in Archer Arena in the Axanar prelude;THIS is what the Federation at war should feel like.
In spite of what I consider to be a radical departure from what I consider the ethical core of Star Trek I still enjoy the game. The recent expansion has created what I consider to be some very serious imbalances; The greatest in my mind being a, “shoot the moon” post 60 specialization system. Without a ceiling to a captain’s power it becomes difficult to create content that will create appropriate challenges and allowing for such potential power ranges between captain’s is a serious oversight that I think opened the door to the silly power levels that have been exhibited by the opposition in the recent PvE content. To scale challenge the potential power levels of players must to be quantified and limited to a specific ceiling. An open end made this an impossibility and an uphill battle through resource sinks and reduced experience only delays this inevitable realization.
There are a lot of ideas and issues in this thread and if I tried to share everything I’m thinking about having read all the posts this would be prohibitively long. I think I’ll write a post in the future about how I try to manage 13 characters, another about how I’d like to see crew play a more important role in the running of a ship and another still about who actually likes 40k (don’t like the game much, But I do enjoy modelling and painting 🙂 )
I remain optimistic there will be ongoing improvements to the present state of the game. I find it difficult to believe that with the volume of negative feedback the studio has received of late that things will remain as they are. As a final note remember that games are for your enjoyment and that it doesn’t have to be a race although I’m sorry that I have been unable to open some of the level gated content I can participate more actively with you all.
My DR pack cleared so I got a whole box full of cool toys today :). Honestly I’m feeling a bit confused. Wit so many characters and so many possibility’s I’m going to continue keeping it simple and playing around with a couple 5us on some of my favorite ships, focus on amping up my research levels and finishing rep from the old content.
I was pretty quiet this week waiting on my DR order but when I was on I found what they did to the PvE content pretty intimidating. Participated in a terrible Pug that left me with a really foul taste in my mouth.
I’m really liking the upgrade on T’Shroy’s Intrepid and Ba’el’s tor’kaht still makes me happy. The highlight of the new stuff for me so far is the intel outfit! I thought it looked pretty sad in the pics; hated the ,”wish I was in the matrix” look. The short coat looks awesome. The textures in either case are actually quite beautiful and the whole ensemble looks amazing once it is recolored; Outfits like these make me glad I bought so many outfit slots :).
The thing I’m liking least is the price of cats. It’s been a week and those clowns still want almost a million for uncommon cats. Even worse for rares and VRs! Goblyn could be well represented by the grey tabby (u) but poor Reya is black and white so that may be a ways off. I could afford it but it’s wasteful considering the bottom is going to fall out of the cat market soon enough.
I really want to take that raptor out of the garage in the near future; The articulated wings strike me as a nice nod to BoPs. Apart from the bow/saucer it’s a fine looking ship.
