  • These are all gorgeous, but who decided a traditionally engineering-slanted escort should be so heavily science-slanted instead? Don't get me wrong, I'm a Tac/Sci guy to the core and am very interested, but it seems if the spirit of this was to bring old disused designs into the modern era, whoever was in charge of the…
  • There's nothing about that screenshot that suggests any significant elements of chance or happenstance were involved. They found a spot with the right lighting, positioned themselves just so, and took the screenshot. At most they had to wait for effect timers to end so there'd be no visual spam. It doesn't take very long…
  • It's incredibly funny to me how, with the time and ability to use any costume in the game for a screenshot that should principally be about the sword, they still managed to use an outfit that clips horrendously and put it front and center. Stunningly careless. Having said that, the ship looks incredible. Not so keen on…
  • Not one single person has put forth a rational argument as to why speed boosts should be allowed. No wonder, because it's a no brainer - in a competition based on speed, anything that grants a direct bonus to speed that is in any way exclusive is, by definition, an unfair advantage. If you really can't be bothered to…
  • Wow what a garbage idea. You guys will literally do everything short of just giving us things to spend it on, won't you? I know it's not easy to come up with something desirable enough to be a big sink without punishing people who don't have mountains of dil to spend, but it's certainly not impossible, and it would be much…
  • PIC S2 is, at least as of two episodes in, a renaissance for this show. Not perfect, it did a thing in Ep1 that got me pretty angry, but one small-but-deep bump in an otherwise quite smooth and entertaining road so far is hardly something to decry a show over. As for S1, I did genuinely like the moments with past crew and…
  • PIC S1 was grimdark edgetastic for nearly its entire run and very nearly was enough to make me not give S2 a chance. Complete waste of the cast, most of whom (much like my opinion on DSC's cast) are actually pretty good. It wasn't all bad but the more I reflect on it the angrier I get at the bad parts. I only got through…
  • I know there's a few ships I probably should get from a mechanics standpoint but I'm really looking at either the new Nova or new Steamrunner, favoring the Nova fairly heavily. Gonna give it some time before I pull the trigger though, the Somerville's trait would be quite good on my Sci toon and she's already fairly…

  • I don't hate it. Could've stood to keep the brow line but I appreciate the ear tweaks to call back to the original concept art. 7/10, not great, not bad.
  • It has been explained since the image's release that the pants originally pictured were not intended to be released with that uniform, which I'm certain counts as "at any time" - but since you're not happy, that doesn't matter, I guess. They promised you the Lower Decks uniform, not the Disco S3 uniform. The pants were…
  • I mean, I get why not getting exactly what was pictured could be a little irritating, but why would you want pants that don't even match the uniform to begin with when there are obviously better vanilla options? Would you actually want pants from a uniform you don't have the rest of? It just seems like such a minor thing…
  • You're getting good exocomp models whether you like it or not.
  • Lot of overthinking pants going on here.
  • It's wild to me that people will let paranoia prevent them from using newer, better supported software.
  • Y'know, for as irredeemably awful as that thing was, I'm sure Marrone could make it look okay with a modernized model. Though it would probably end up being another situation where he'd have to change so much to make it not suck that its inexplicable fanbase would deny it's the same thing, like happened when they made the…
  • You can easily get a K'vort ingame right now Step 1: Get a B'rel Step 2: Zoom in real close Step 3: K'vort
  • Kudos to the artist who did this, it's a beautiful rendition of the ship. Too bad the price tag means I won't touch it with a ten foot pole.
  • I've been pushing for a full Pilot spec Nova for some time now. I just can't see any other reasonable spec to have at Commander rank. Could definitely mix it up at the Lt. level - personally I'd like a Miracle Worker seat as a reference to Equinox and the (terrible) solution they came up with to their problem.
  • Mostly option 2 with a little of option 1.
  • It's just so bad.
  • What a complete dumpster fire of a bundle.
  • The only reality I see is a bunch of whiny clowns who didn't get enough ships this year and are throwing a fit because of it. There has been more Klingon content and updates in the last year than there has been in the last five (at least) in every category except ships, but because they can't fly most of it, they just…
  • Literally couldn't even manage half the number of ships as last year's pack, and as if that wasn't bad enough, manage to bungle it further by only making half the pack we are getting actually Klingon ships in the "Year of the Klingon". I understand it says "Anniversary" in the title and not "Klingon", and I'm not trying to…
  • Your own fault for assuming you'd get anything.
  • The advantage here over the usual 3-ship bundles is you aren't restricted to that bundle. You're paying bundle price for a pick 3 grab bad with the value of 3 X-upgrades on top. I wouldn't say it's a huge value or anything, but if you're relatively new and/or don't have a lot of T6 ships to your name, it's a pretty good…
  • S'torr console + Lock Trajectory + Fe'rang console = flambé'd foes It's a pretty amusing way to keep the probes busy in ISA or just to bust out in any large group of ships you can fly through, assuming you can tank the inevitable damage they'll throw at you.
  • I get what you mean - the tropes and concepts Mass Effect pulls from have been around in many variations for a long time. But, "copy" implies intent. If I sat down to write a story and said "I'm going to pull heavily from Mass Effect", then it doesn't matter where the tropes originated, my story is still copied from Mass…
  • I don't agree with his reasoning either but I do think he has the right idea - now that X-upgrades are a thing, any reason to continue offering T5-U tokens was significantly devalued. The whole point of T5-U tokens was to make sure people could use their T5's at endgame while they were still filling out the selection of T6…
