As a TRIBBLE Man, I didn't like the fact that a prominent celebrity guest character was being revealed as a TRIBBLE person whose lover was killed off to make them angsty. It is a stereotype and a harmful one. TRIBBLE persons are killed off in media all the time. I would object to Cryptic using stereotypes about POCs,…

Eh, comes with the territory. Honestly, everyone who writes or does art for JNI does it out of passion. I'm not mad or upset or anything. I'll still write more in the future, if Cryptic will still want them :)
-
Because this piece isn't about his character? Its about what's going on with the RRN as a whole. Not Kererek. He's talking to a Federation news agency, and probably had weeks of preparation before hand. He's speaking deliberately to an audience he's had time to research and prepare for. Plus no one ever bats an eye when a…

Yeah... not super fond of this decision guys. I have to agree with alot of people, I seriously doubt goldspammers are buying LTS to use XMPP. If there's some sort of security exploit that's letting them use it without LTS, maybe try patching that instead? I don't get this decision. A lot of large fleets and player groups…

Because they're still allies and trading partners. Diplomacy doesn't mean you go out and throw a temper tantrum because an agreement needed to be suspended due to a crisis. People don't look at a guy cutting off relations because they're not getting parts from a factory that was just lost in an Earthquake as rational. The…

As the writer of this piece, I can tell you right now the majority of the RRN is defected T'Varo, T'liss, Mogai, and D'Deridex-class warbirds. Fresh builds are done to fill a specific role that might be required short term, but as far as the intent goes - most ships are captured Imperial Warbirds or finished captured…

Late to the thread, but, there are many positive things I can say about what the devs have done. Its hard to argue they don't love what their doing, for one. Look at the care and detail certain things have had over the course of the years. Whether its pulling obscure lore to flesh out the Klingon and Romulan factions,…

She is present in "The Temporal Front" mission along with most of the other (Garak, Rom, Prime!Leeta). Also to the guy asking about Rugan Skyl: he's totally gone now. Just Garak.
-
Not the dev. Demo record is a good tool. Guy in the foreground is Thomasthecat's in-game character too.

Took some screenies of our new Miranda-class. Also the picture tool isn't working for me so just some links. http://imgur.com/lKS2NNw http://imgur.com/HWvKc46 http://imgur.com/N5RJF1F http://imgur.com/FFjdccQ http://imgur.com/suZLonL http://imgur.com/gofFFx9 http://imgur.com/MOvKzeM http://imgur.com/xKNPAal…

Redshirt is not the game. It is a temporary test server for regular patches while Tribble is testing larger changes as part of a season or expansion update. The game is on holodeck. The other servers are for testing purposes only. I fyou did not want to lose access to that character, you should have made him on Holodeck.…

Yes, its totally contrived that the woman who is responsible for Gaius' implants in the first place (he was a Tal Shiar experiment after all) would have a backdoor in them, even when she mentions she always has a backdoor in her projects.
-
Kestral before she left Cryptic told the foundryroundtable a few years back T'Nae's racism stems from the fact she was on the rescue ships the Federation was sending to help the Romulans that Nero attacked. Following that up with the s--tstorm that is Sela's rise to power afterwards, its easy to see why she grew to hate…

There's nothing set in canon hard or soft about that. Alot of fan groups tend to treat Caitians/Ferasans akin to earth cats who can't handle the stuff. At least Kyona's not snorting Nepeta.
-
It seems to be affecting all missions. I even republished one of mine. It appears to be affecting all missions.
-
I looked through the list and there were several we *already have* in the Foundry. Removed:* D'Tan * Dr. Eric Cooper Added:* Captain James Kurland * Elyos * Whetu * Lt. Kirayoshi O'Brien * Lt. Kyona * Commander Savel * Lt. Commander Jirelle Kav * Commander Samuel Winters * Lt.Cmdr Tem Inasi * Counselor Matthias (If…

Worth noting: we seem to have all the uninhabited worlds. All we're lacking is inhabitable-class planets types and a few unique textures.
-
Would like to point out that Bajor has the wrong texture (this is game-wide, not just foundry) and is now a desert planet.
-
Actually there's a few problems. Yes, I know we got automatically updated textures, but that came with them just updating all the models. Which is probably why we have white planets now. But not all are created equal. For instance, that version of Sauria we do have? Its the uninhabited version, meaning no cities (and…
-
They... are live. On holodeck. They're part of that sector space size increase.
-
Don't doubt that one bit. But its going to be less understandable from a player's perspective. At the very least, we do need to see what the borders of each sector block is. At the very least for Doffing purposes (one of those legacy reasons, that will at least be obvious to us).
-
I have to agree with this. Those of us who have been around since the old map can roughly guess where the sector blocks that used to be are now, with the new system, I have literally no idea what these new sector blocks are. And to a new player, a sector block doesn't exist. There are just Quadrants and Sectors. Sorry,…
-
The same ones that are also in-game? Those Gorn cruisers were added with Agents of Yesterday (And the Frigate is from TOS-Remastered), the Romulan ship is also in-game as the Thrai Cruiser, and you can see them in "Core of the Matter" and the Doomsday Machine Queue. The other ships are the Na'kuhl vessels. So its 100%…
-
You mean the STO designs for this STO Fanzine? Seriously.
-
I also saw that the "Unsurveyed Territory" was added to the 2410 map as well @tacofangs. Though its lacking the Murasaki Nebula associated with it. Also it should probably be relabelled on that version of the map to "Murasaki 312 Nebula." I don't think Starfleet is so distracted by the nearby Risians to not explore so…

Combined with this report, one from Jan Darkrider, and another from twitter, I can confirm we've got 2 major functions essentially missing from the ground tree. The first is high passive in-battle regeneration. For whatever reason, this is missing. Second, is that ground crits seem low (maxing out skill-based at 20% for…
-
I actually did consider this. However, factoring in literally every other class and ship type, as well as the fact that we also have the Energy Wep heavy (and very popular) Vesta-class, the nudge pushed it over to the Energy Weps. Needs of the Many and all that jazz.
-
Ok, I've looked at the other two "Unlock Trees" (Seriously, do we have an official name for them? I keep getting them confused with Traits and the Fallout-style Perks, we need a distinctive name here or all hell is gonna break loose in a Whose on First? manner). Both are far more balanced than the Tactical one, but I see…
-
I just redid that. Both ranks of Pet boosts should be mutually exclusive. Pets already way to OP. And Threat Control and Ship Stealth affect more players.
-
Ok, so I'm seeing one really really big problem right now is that the Unlocks are very unfair for a low-level player and rather annoying for the majority of max level ones. Especially ones centered around Pets. For instance here's how the current Tac Tree looks: Starship Stealth => Threat Control => Projectile Crit Chance…
