  • There's one in-game, but you have to find a list of commands for it - write in "/played" in the chat (without the quotation marks) and it tells you how long you've played with that toon.
  • To be clearer, there was a bug where the unfinished non-Gamma reputations were sponsored when it came to if they could do the sponsorship project but not for how much reputation XP they got, but that's one of the bugs that have been fixed.
  • It appears that for whatever reason the counter is set at -15 to start with - other people have reported they got the 1 point reward after having invested 16 points.
  • Still specialization issues here, and while I was able to pick up the 'do a queue' reward, the 'do an advanced queue' one did not register and remains incomplete (I haven't done 25 queues yet, but I suspect like you it will not register).
  • Given how crammed the last six months (at best) of 2410 would have to be for it to still be 2410, and comparing it with the one and a half year that the episodes leading up to the Breen arc got...
  • No Jem'Hadar/Dominion doff recruitment assignments appears to exist, in the format of the standard faction recruitment (none of the Dominion-related NPCs or interactable objects in their designated base social area have the functionality). Boffs... do not appear to exist, but I suppose it is possible they could be a rare…
  • My read on it was that Kuumaarke's reaction was exaggerated because these are Kentari - people she's been told stories of how greedy, xenophobic and short-sighted they were since she was born, and they are also the same species, or at least closely related. She does note that some Lukari still hold a grudge against the…
  • Based on Echoes of Light the directed protomatter reaction was very likely a Tzenkethi weapon.
  • Hey, if you do it with a non-Starfleet character the implied tone gets slightly different - you get to join in with the Lukari in being mystified and annoyed at Starfleet having gotten down there first!
  • "Justice for Noye", and Zidia apparently wasn't acting alone. Clearly some Krenim really don't learn.
  • Isn't it closer to (white) wine? 'Honey-wine' and all that.
  • I would think it likely, though of course the more complicated the action the less likely it is that anyone would actually do it (ramming it could be accidental, but anyone actually doing a deliberate incursion would have to figure out some way to make the moving parts with Midnight work, as you said). IIRC the Annorax…
  • So far as I remembered, what happened in Year of Hell was that the Krenim ship was trying to use its temporal incursion weapon when it was rammed, resulting in the weapon effect being triggered inside the ship and removing it from the timeline from the perspective of anything that wasn't temporally shielded. It's not…
  • Assuming the Iconians of one reality have enough connections to the Iconians of other realities to form a common Whole, definitely a lesser province. One of the galactic realities the Sphere Builders destroyed was dominated by the Iconian-Dominion Alliance, and it is unlikely to be the only one in which the Iconian…
  • Probably something on the sneakier side of things for a battle cruiser, although that's purely from it being a Night Witch-class.
  • Based on what we know closing the loop on the Temporal Cold War would likely mean/involve Na'kuhl never being destroyed (because the Tholians are likely to have done that at least partly as vengeance for the temporal assault on the Tholian colony, which they would never have done if Na'kuhl's destruction hadn't turned so…
  • Sorta. Nacelle separation was mentioned (as a risky manoeuvre for extreme emergencies, since then you'd be stuck without warp), and the writer's guide for TOS apparently mentioned saucer separation as a possibility, but obviously any actual canonical mention of it had to wait until TNG.
  • And it's apparently going to be on Netflix outside the USA and Canada, which is a bit more common for people to already make use of (us overseas market folk might not matter as much, but we're not irrelevant in the final count). As to the ship... I don't think it looks bad as such, but it does look more like a…
  • I must admit that I find it odd that they didn't add more nods to you being from around this period in the series. They clearly remembered it since they added voicing to Scotty, made certain the rewards work with the new 23c material and added nods to it during the Agents of Yesterday arc, when you meet the Enterprise…
  • There is a plot gap in the Romulan storyline, I suppose, but the rough outline can be intuited out anyway. I suppose one could also argue that the Romulan Civil War isn't entirely resolved (not only is Sela out there and still has loyalists, but we know the remaining Tal Shiar maintains a military of some strength) and has…
  • As I do with Archer I suspect DTI's future counterparts helped clean up and cover up temporal incidents they dragged us into. Having 17 temporal violations on record is not the same thing as having been involved in 17 separate cases of temporal violations, after all!
  • There is that Known Issue about not all 23rd Century costume pieces unlocking when completing The Battle of Caleb IV, with the Gorn specifically pointed out, so it seems likely that there are Klingon unlocks too that presumably do work (more or less, given this report).
  • What the Borg are was probably covered in Daniels' general briefing when he brought you to the 25th century. An anomaly that is perhaps harder to explain is why Admiral Quinn cites you reporting to him after the attack on Vega and him promoting you then if you ask if he's the real Quinn in Surface Tension. After all, you…
  • Best in-universe explanation I can come up with is that Daniels' fake 25th century identity he provided to you is similar in the broad details to the ordinary Starfleet tutorial.
  • Presumably it was simply easier to add it as an additional activator to the Terran message console. Cryptic did take some effort to explain it in-story - the Terrans in the Badlands are involved with the temporal shenanigans, and the excuse for you hearing the messages is that Garak (already on DS9 at the, ahem, time)…
  • If it operates like a military and performs the responsibilities of a military, then you might call it a military (I have no problem with seeing Starfleet as the Federation's de-facto military, it just has other roles too, and potential non-military origins for a lot of its seeming military-ness)... but that does not mean…
  • It would appear that it would have been wiser to take the 'kill the target' route if it had meant not coming near Garak. This is going to risk some severe temporal pollution... so that makes two stories where things aren't really resolved at the end.
  • Well, Khan was called the best of the tyrants in Space Seed.... so if he was that, how bad were the other Augment rulers during the Eugenics War?
  • Enterprise actually retconned back the 1990s date, sorta - it makes a reference to the Augments being pretty sophisticated for 20th century genetics. Then again, Archer having a great-grandfather who fought in the Eugenics Wars might be more consistent with a war 100 years earlier than a war 150 years earlier.

  • Possibly. The big prohibition that tends to be mentioned is showing their symbols. Films and TV shows can be excepted from that if the presence of the symbols is historically accurate, though as noted computer games can not.
