    Will the Special Unique Reward in this Episode be the USS Challanger Admiralty Card?

    Thanks for the Image link, I don't often change my desktop wallpaper but that pic deserved to be there. EDIT:I grew up with TNG so the GCS has a special Place in my heart.

    I was always under the impression that the U.S.S. Challenger was a Nebula class ship not Galaxy.

    I'm getting excited now. Who will be next? Reginald Barclay?

    Oy, I hope not. That guy annoyed me. >_<;;

    His time on the A Team was most revealing of his acting abilities. For some reason this part sticks out the most:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gERZBWPhedQ

    (From 0:55)

    Obviously i wouldn't want Barclay doing this, but still, Dwight certainly knew how to act the part of a handicapped person on set. I wouldn't mind if Barclay came to STO along with some of his habits, it adds some much needed character to the show by having someone that isn't Mary Sue/Marty Stu perfect and letting Barclay get into trouble and help him solve it.

    NBC hates other countries.

    If we ever get to play Holographic characters, I hope they bring in Reginald Barclay to introduce them.

    Man, to think that the Video Game Design branch of Star Fleet have quarters on Deck 10 of Galaxy-Class starships! I think I may have to transfer from the Command branch....

    I enjoyed the episode, though it did seem a little short. I wonder of the energy being/boss man is a nod to the TNG episode Transfigurations though

    Guess the Ent-F is still getting that refit, Shran's having real bad luck hitting gold with the upgrades, I guess. :)

    LOL..Must have missed the upgrade weekend everytime.. :D

    The episode was a lot shorter then I expected.
    To be tactlessly honest, I think it was just a excusereason to have us meet La Forge and see Enterprise-D sets.

    This was the most interesting point of the mission:

    Now Starfleet has two Ocampans! ;):D

    I'm in the US and NBC wouldn't let me see it so I think something else is up. :/

    The Devs re-skinned the Dil Mine Mini-game. Seems hard to see that triangle with that background. Red-on-Red :/

    if only all featured episodes were of this length... would make grinding them out on various toons across multiple accounts painless.

    In regards to Barclay, I think he'd have made a better engineer for the whole Time Travel / Messing With History arc than NOG.

    *ahem* Cryptic, could you see fit to find voice/animation work for either Brian Blessed, or Paul Darrow? I'm sure we could come up with either villains or Admirals for them... (Mmm... Blessed as a bombastic Tellarite... )

    Some times it's not about time, but qaulity.

    This was the only STO episode to make me laugh, and I laughed my TRIBBLE off. I think we all know what I'm referring too (no spoiler for those that don't).

    Or even better: a screen-accurate Galaxy Class interior. And to scale, with individual rooms and corridors somewhat smaller than the Albert Hall.

    But the Admiralty card would be nice, too! :)

    10 mins huh. I call shenanigans on you there. Went though it in a half an hour personally and still didn't so all those things. Of course I don't speed through dialog and I let characters speak.

    How do you take 30mins even with dialog? Everything dies in seconds. Although it was fun it was very short and the NPC's seem very weak. For me it was watch a group of NPC beam in, in seconds the entire group is dead. There is barely anything to explore.

    Its a shame they gave us a Trilithium Tricobalt Torpedo Launcher when Tricobalt weapons are so broken. I would rather the weapons be fixed and made useable then have yet another special but useless Tricobalt weapon. Tricobalt weapons have been full of major bugs for over a year now.

    I don't optimize any sort of ground build at all. I primarily just use what looks good in terms of gear so I'm wandering around with a Mk IX TOS phaser at lvl 60 and common quality kit mods.

    "Trilithium-Laced Weaponry

    Speed Tweaks (2 piece)

    This 2 piece bonus grants you Firing Cycle Haste for Energy Weapons and a Flight Speed increase."
    Is that ship flight speed, torpedo/mine flight speed or both? Pretty sure its ship speed only but I can live in hope.

    I'm betting it's torpedo flight speed, NOT ship speed. Why would Trilithium-Laced Weaponry speed up your ship? Unless it's recoil, and your ship goes fast in reverse (or forward when firing aft weapons. ;)

    "Aft torpedo, FIRE!"

    Whoosh! Boom! "AAAAaaaaaaaaHhhhhhhh!" (as firing ship is hurled forward at Ludicrous Speed TM)

    Apparently NBC hates its own country, where I live, as well.

    The uniforms worn by the Ambassador Class ship should not have turtle necks on the shirt from Wrath of Khan to Generations (on the Enterprise-B).

    While it's a minor difference, it helps to state the time when the ship was lost to the Nexus.

    Besides, it would be a nice variant for that particular style of uniform for those who didn't like the turtleneck in the Character Tailor.

    Decent episode, finally got my phaser rifle I wanted, now we need a hand phaser to go with it that doesn't have the glowy bits bolted on,...

    Used that phaser rifle on this mission and honestly it's not that great. i went back to my chroniton split beam rifle. One thing about the new rifle i noticed going through the mission is where the phaser beam starts, it looks like it's right in the middle of the detachable part on the front of the weapon, it doesn't seem to be firing from where it should.
    T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW.
