  • this is what I came here to say; Neverwinter has a gateway system that's actually useful and kind of fun. I'd settle for just being able to run certain doff missions in STO, and reputation/fleet holding projects.
  • yes, it is mandatory I'm afraid.
  • OMG you guys there's actually an entire Memory Alpha article on beards, and it goes on for like two or three pages: http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Beard We may as well close this thread and all retire, we'll never equal that level of boring
  • Leaving aside for a second that Vulcans and Romulans have copper-based blood, and Klingons don't*, and that therefore this transfusion couldn't possibly actually work: many people couldn't get blood transfusions from their actual siblings; it's really no indication of genetic similarity. * since their blood is shown as…
  • that sound you hear is the spontaneous appearance of a mighty Fortress of Nerditude. I am unassailable within, but it is lonely and cold here.
  • That's true - but his half-brother Sybok was full Vulcan, and had a thick beard. Edit: http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Sybok
  • Or I guess actually he had a type of beard the name of which is likely to trip the forum profanity filters.
  • Mirror Spock had a goatee; Vulcans and Romulans are basically the same species.
  • not an ideal solution, but you could spring for the eyepatch
  • I quite like the Federation intel escort and science ship - they're both fun to play. I'm less of a fan of the cruiser, which feels a little too lightweight to do the usual cruiser things - being able to cloak, and having intel tricks up your sleeve, just don't quite make up for how fragile it seemed to be compared to…
  • Right, they really should have just left it completely unexplained.
  • Because I am super helpful and kind hearted, I made a custom Aenar mod for you! To install and play as an Aenar, simply turn your monitor off.
  • Some of my favourite parts of STO are the bits where they TRIBBLE around with time travel and/or alternate realities. The first time you go back to TOS-era and see that the Klingons appearance has altered to be like the original show was awesome (even if they did insist on wrecking it with an actual explanation as to why).
  • None of the important stuff mentioned in the (admittedly vague) article sounds like that. Rewards described as toon-specific include a temporary Dil-gaining trait, and various strengths of temporary boosts while the event is running - nothing permanent, and certainly nothing worth changing main characters for. The main…
  • I have a whole mess of alts, and I have only paid for stuff on two of them (my original main, and my current main). I guess I just don't understand what people are complaining about - their own shortcomings, or that the game isn't deliberately unprofitable.
  • why in blazes would you do any of that for an alt? not one thing in this event requires any of that.
  • Right in the news article, of course: While the rewards aren't directly named (other than Temporal Insight), there's absolutely nothing there that requires extra inventory space, extra boff slots, or new ships. Given what we currently know, there's no way that you can say with a straight face that this event is designed to…
  • Right, but none of that stuff is necessary to get any of the stated rewards for this event. I kind of doubt most existing players will bother with the DR character they create once they've earned the account-wide awards. While it's true that new players might want to buy some of this stuff, that would be true regardless of…
  • the character slot is free, ships you have previously paid for will still be available, and nobody is forcing you to make this new character your main character - there's no reason to spend money whatsoever. personally, I can't see what the problem is here.
  • I don't really see the problem. The main rewards seem to be account-wide, you get a free character slot, and playing through to whatever point of the plotline is required (end of Breen episode? it's not clear to me from reading the article) probably won't take more than a few days.
  • Probably, if it turns out to be real. Why not wait till that is established before berating Cryptic for a response that they haven't made yet? I don't mean to belabour this point, but you are still incorrect. The two words, although related, are not identical; you are labouring under a misapprehension if you believe…
  • That's actually a fair point, but the fact that I used my mighty intellect to correctly interpret the meaning behind one inappropriate word choice doesn't mean that other, lesser, people could. If I have a flaw, it's that I'm too helpful.
  • that's weird, because - as far as I can tell - it shouldn't ever try to reload a loadout unless you're clicking on one. I periodically have one that's a bit out of sync with what I'm using - say, I've replaced an overload with a fire at will for a specific fight, and never needed to swap it back - and I've never had it…
  • and I was asking you what promises you were referring to; you still haven't actually mentioned any. when have they ever done something like that before? by which I mean, actually refused to reward legitimately purchased items? I'd also like to remind you that you are getting super angry about your theoretical Cryptic…
  • really? I've not had any issues with the loadout system, since they supposedly 'patched' this issue. I don't like not being able to delete them, understand, but at least you can overwrite and rename them. I don't think having saved loadouts for a ship has any effect on the chances of boffs disappearing from their stations…
  • well, that's certainly raised the bar for paranoia around here.
  • That's not how you use the word 'belaboring'; the word you want there is 'laboring'. Perhaps you should stick to using plainer language, since you're obviously not accurately getting your point across. You accused Cryptic of breaking a promise (multiple promises, in fact) in a thread about the new ship, in reply to a…
  • and that - assuming it happened, since this is the only person I've seen complain about it - is quite obviously a bug.
  • your words, and the context they are in?
