    Fascinating, seems we'll finally see some fallout from Temporal Ambassador.

    Damnit, Daniels, why can't you just leave me alone...
    Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.

    Things I want in STO:

    1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
    2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
    3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
    4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
    5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
    6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
    7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
    8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!

    Revamp of Starbase 39 incoming... :open_mouth:

    Edit: Totally forgot about Temporal Ambassador. Should be interesting.

    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Why am I imagining a part where Sela is interacting with her mother from before she was born?...

    Tying up old plot threads? I approve. :)

    I wonder if one of the T’Nae's will make any references to "Divide et Impera" or any of the other removed old missions. Also, Walker mentions integrating the two together, but what if Ent-C!T'Nae doesn't want to?

    If it's connected to Temporal Ambassador, it will be fun to play from the other perspective!

    Follow-up question. Given the Romulan love of avian symbology, obviously any number of human-Romulan hybrids above zero is a murder, but what do you call a bunch of T'Naes? Vulcans never really seemed like 'mob' would be appropriate.

    Unless the mission involves Sela being thrown out an airlock without a spacesuit, or alternatively hanged, beheaded, shot in the face repeatedly, or walled up alive, I continue to be as uninterested as ever in the official storyline. And put that incompetent Daniels out the airlock right after her.

    Wait, let me try. Because the ensuing mental image is quite funny?

    Among other things, 'a result of someone messing with axloltl tanks or Spaarti cylinders'. More humorously, though, might I suggest for this specific case 'T'Naequarium'?

    I also expect both of the above to have gotten some artists' creative juices going.

    I like Nereda. Have we worked with her? If not I'd like to sometime...

    I thought T'Nae did the right thing by taking her own life to avoid a ripple in the space-time continuum, so much for Vulcan logic. I wonder who she hooked up with. Wouldn't surprise me if she stole Tasha's Romulan husband away from her.

    Best writing in one of these since Sela left Earth after the iconian war. Comics would draw me in more... massive chunks of text not so much.. but this one was short and unintimidating, also had good writing! Left me wanting to find out more!

    “You see, Ma’am?” Lieutenant Ibori said

    I thought Star Trek uses a gender neutral "Sir" for everyone?

    it varies depanding on personal preference, mostly people use sir. janeway prefers captain but accepts ma'am.

    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

    Well, I'm out of luck.

    All of my captains are Fleet Admirals. I'm going to have to sit this one out ;)

    As for Temporal Ambassador, I kind of wished we could keep the overalls or whatever it's called that our characters wore.

    Tasha has a secret half-sibling????

    T'Nae and Sela possibly in the same scenario? This is almost certainly going to end in gunfire. Lots and lots of heated gunfire.

    As for two Admiral "Ripper" T'Naes, I'd like to have the alternate as a crew member. One that provides color commentary during the story line she's involved in.

    "Temporal Ambassador" is the Featured Episode mission where you are shunted to an alternate reality in which the Tholians have enslaved most of the Alpha Quadrant due to them having intercepted the Enterprise-C before it could return to the past. The player then frees Tasha Yar and company along with the Ent-C and allows them to return to the past, which corrects the timeline. Captain Walker of the USS Pastak gets you off the Ent-C before that happens, though, so that you can return to the 25th century once the timeline is corrected. Unfortunately, it would seem that he forgot that the alternate reality T'Nae was on board the Ent-C as well when it went back in time.

    You know, this might actually go a long way in helping explain the un-Vulcan-like hostility that T'Nae seems to have against the Romulans.

    Am I the only one who is a bit put off by the way the temporal agents talk about the "anomaly growing over time" (and how this is bad), needing to find the secondary anomaly "before it gets worse" and "not having enough time" because the anomaly is "accelerating"?

    Aren't they time travelers? And isn't temporal shielding a thing in the 29th century?
