    Seriously? Is this the sort of thing we'll be getting on holodeck until F2P launches?

    and more so, if the "F2P standards" hold...

    BTW Stormy, we are still waiting on the Exocomp Bridge Officers, fixing Star base 24, etc...
    instead of new junk why not have the broken stuff fixed?

    Does it attach itself to you hull when you are idle and it can catch you to suck on your ship's EPS conduits?

    On a serious note: please change it's acceleration soundeffect. it sounds like a shuttle right now.

    Awwwwwww! I just hope I don't have to 'ween' it off my power systems like Geordi and Leah did, heh.

    Hmm, I'm still waiting for my Porthos!

    *toe-tap*

    (j/k, but I would *love* to have my little beagle, though, Matt! ;))

    It takes a lot of brass to push C-Store filler to subscribers when you haven't delivered content to them for 6+ months now.

    Kudos for that.

    Indeed.
    I think they still trying to figure out how much Dilithium will be needed to purchase the existing story arc missions and replays.

    Well, this is nothing more then a 5 minute effort, take a shuttle pet, slam a gekli costume on it, put into c-store.. someone did this in his lunchbreak, I`m sure...

    Well, genius really, cause i bought it... it's just too cute.

    This item has one really great thing about it.


    It appears to be faction agnostic.


    Thats about it.


    Try Something with use next time. Like the TR-116a people have been asking for.

    Speaking of pets. Stormy, ask the devs where our Targ Breeding is at.

    Yes, because the people who make this sort of thing are the same people who crank out missions. :rolleyes:

    I haven't used any of my space pets in a while, but historically they sometimes stay behind after I change sector blocks. Has this been fixed? Also, is there any way to have them keep up with my ship at maximum warp (even when I'm using the Borg engines, though sometimes they'll even fall behind in the Warp 9 range).

    Sure, its not difficult to make.

    The problem is asking people to pay them more money right now, when they are... failing to deliver to their paying customers in a big way.

    We all know they're busy with F2P, but that didn't stop them for charging for subscriptions.. or even asking for more micropayments.

    If it took a lunchbreak to make, how about a nice "We're sorry for sucking so bad" gift to everyone?

    But its pretty clear that the bottom line is far ahead of happy customers at this point.

    I gotta admit, it's a cute little bugger. And I do give points for making it available to BOTH factions (for a change). However, I will pass on this, thank you very much. Until Cryptic gets its act together and starts listening to its playerbase I will not support the C(ash)-Store.

    Well its more then what is expectet and announced.. wich is "absolutley nothing".

    And it at least makes a little more sense then the (still most useless c-store item ever) exocomp pet...

    WTF! Wasn't there suppose to be a "Saber" and "Raider" today? Instead, they give us this POS "Gekli" pet? What is this, WoW?

    Cute item. Questions:
    • Can anyone post a screen shot so I can get a Gekli-to-Ship size comparison?
    • Does the space slug stack with the other shuttle pets, I mean can you have multiple pets following you around?
    • Can the little critter keep up with Borg Engines in sector space?
    It could be a fun item to buy, however I'm on C-Store Boycott until I see how you handle the current Tribble T5 Excelsior Nerf. :o

    I too would love a Porthos... Ah... Remember this?

    Dstahl, July 2010. When Dabo was fresh and exciting. That takes ya back to the heady days of Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin, doesn't it? :p

    No, it can't keep up with Borg engines. It even falls behind at 9.97. I think it's max speed equals a starter ship around warp 7.

    It does stack with other shuttles, and it works as any other shuttle pet, so it can't keep up unfortunately.



    Love the pet, I just wish it would keep up with me. I wish ANY of the shuttles would keep up with me.
