What we really ought to do is make a list of consoles we believe would be acceptable for cross faction console boxes- make suggestions as to what to keep and what we could give up.
Jermbot - who got my thread shut down? I was keeping it quite civil. I don't call anyone names - they call me names - like monkey - so I was gone playing the game for 3 hours and here I find it shut down. Of course I got no warning so it was not me.
Levi, I was reading it when it was deleted, I didn't even get to the last page unfortunately. No notification or anything, but I guess the Moderators are just doing their job and don't have to tell us when they delete a thread.
I do think it was getting out of hand, people calling other people names like stupid and such doesn't do anyone any favours. Name calling, well no good comes out of it and actually weakens the persons argument, it's just a despite attempt often to save face.
Ultimately at the end of the day I think the Moderators did the right thing, it started off as a debate, whether I agree with it or not is immaterial, the fact that it went into the direction it did, showed us all that while entertaining at times had lived out it's usefulness and was going to cause more trouble keeping it there. It was after all turning if not already turned into a flame war.
Support the Game by Supporting the KDF, equality and uniqueness for all factions!

Thanks for letting me know. I do want something positve long-term to happen to the KDF, I just think that with Cryptic's history of doing nothing that something more radical or out side the box will have to be the "thing"
I will freely admit that I don't know exactly what the best thing is - but by even putting out a bad idea we do sometimes get good discussion and all learn something. Its too bad it turns into a flame war - people can have different ideas of what needs to be done and you don't have to agree, but you can be civil.

Hehe, you crossed a line when you called cryptics poll meaningless, but I shure woulda liked to have seen that last page.

I'm sure it didn't help that I called myself an A-hole.
I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.
Not until you release the bounds and allow klingon and federation got access to everything they got.
Ex i am klingon but i can buy fed ship and MACO shields.
Otherwise i dont see how this will work.
Sharing plasma leech along with all the stuff Federation got unique it will be a major disturbance at the game balance and also KDF faction will be even less worthy for playing if plasma leech gets on fed side.
I am telling you that KDF will vanish if Feds get plasma leech. I know about 100 ppl that rolled and play KDF just to make a nice leech build and stacking on their build this console also.
Besides plasma leech i cant find any other reason for someone to roll and play KDF.
Take it away and its like you shut down KDF interests and reasons for ppl to play.
ps. ye plasma leech+Maco shields will be an OP stacking effect of powers along with flow capacitors and insulators they will be so much OP and unstoppable against our leech effects.
So if you take away leech effects form KDF what other tactical advantage we will have?

Why do people think they can dictate to the devs what will and wont happen? If the devs want the Leech console available to the feds it will happen. Making demands like "this must not happen" is hardly going to get you anywhere.
Next time try a well thought out post and prompt genuine discussion as to why something should not happen as opposed to just spouting about this console being the only good thing the klingons have.
Did anyone ever confirm this Rumor as having been stated as going to happen?
Or is it still just a Rumor and other than as a place for attacks and counter attacks, this thread needs to die?

Yeah, this was a rumor, made up if memory serves, not even an inkling of proof given, not even a link to a virus-giving website, that would at least still be SOMETHING.
I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.
Nobody ever offered up any credible reason to believe it was more than a made-up rumor.
It was suggested that it would be in the next lockbox, so I guess we'll know whether or not somebody was just blowing smoke in a couple of days.
I suppose it depends on whether or not the Devs think it's time the Feds had it too. Given what we believe to be the theme of the next lockbox, it doesn't seem likely to me.
I know there's nobody guaranteeing that it will never happen. I doubt anyone will come in here in an official capacity and make that guarantee.
But since I've been posting in these forums, I've learned that it never pays to make assumptions about what Cryptic is going to do until Dan Stahl says it's on the schedule, or until we see it being rolled out on Tribble.

Then is it not time to kill this thread and all the flames it has produced?
Welll... I think most of the flamers have already been dealt with. At the moment, it seems almost peaceful compared to how it started out. And there is legitimate feedback from players who don't like the idea.
Unless somebody decides to turn the thread into a full-out flame war, or tries to stir things up again by trolling again, I have no good reason to close the thread. If anyone is aware of posts that I've missed, feel free to put in a ticket and it'll be dealt with.
I know there are some folks who probably think I abuse my moderator powers... I'd hate to prove them right.
However... If Cryptic does hand out the Plasmodic Leech to the Feds, I expect things to heat up in here right quick.
Otherwise, best to just quit posting in it and let the topic slide into obscurity. I only came in here to see if people were following the rules.

This thread has now most definitely run its course, and isn't providing any constructive/civilised discussion/feedback, so due to this as well as the nature of the original post/discussion of moderation/high number of flaming/trolling posts and/or reported posts in this thread; I'm closing this thread down.
For the record, the Plasmodic Leech did not appear in the Temporal Lock Box, as originally rumored. I believe the community opinion on this subject has been duly noted, and I hope that the Devs will consider this before making any such decision about a future lockbox.

Awoken Dead
Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
I don't know how? The Devs are already aware of how easy it is to cheat a forum poll. I even demostrated the ease of it in Jermbot thread on the poll.
R.I.P
A thread that itself got merged into another Romulan faction thread.... ohwell.

Yeah wait 10 days till new lockboxes hit the deck then we see what they got inside and if plasma leech is missing then maybe we can kill this thread.
but there isnt smoke without a fire so i wouldnt bet that there wont be plasma leech in future lockboxes.
Even if its only a rumor its outrageous!!!!
Do you imagine MACO+plasma leech???????????????
PS. its been ages since we got a new ship/pet.....
PS2. i feel like i am in the dark here....
