    So... Unless I only passed grade 1 maths by pure luck, when you said 2 hours... what you really meant was, near as makes no difference, 5 hours? So now that you're saying 1 hour 45 mins we're looking at... wait I know this... carry the 1... Oh my god... forget it, I'll be having fun with my jet pack before then!

    I wouldn't skip the first two DS9 seasons, personally. They're not great, but they do develop the characters and help set the stage. And the Season 2 finale was awesome.

    We have cake

    Can we please have an update and/or eventually a deadline ?

    Last update was one hour ago, I think it might be a good time to communicate again.

    I am patching now, anyone else?
    I will do that. Especially since it's been making me sad not having any new Star Trek to watch and just watching reruns of Next Gen. I've seen everything else. I was basically just waiting for the new Abrams movie to come out. I really wish he'd just bite the bullet and do a series already. I mean if it's anything like Lost meets Star Trek it'll be awesome. At least it will be until the last episode.

    I wouldn't expect him to do much more with Trek actually. Rumors are the second movie is his last now that he's been recruited for the new Star Wars movie(s).

    Yes how awful they are working on actually fixing problems instead of just letting the game run until it explodes.

    What TRIBBLE.

    Seriously people. Go eat lunch. Have a cookie. Even though most of you clearly don't deserve one.

    Thanks for the update, Brandon.

    get a job then you would realise how much of a problem this would be if it was during your peak time.

    DS9 had by far the best combat scenes. The Defiant was insane in the Dominion war, well up until the Breen decided to fill it with holes.

    the USS Ganges, the USS Yangtzee Kiang, and the USS Rio Grande were great ships! Plenty of strange new worlds explored in the runabouts.

    But really, the best episodes of TNG are political ones.

    DS9 is all about politics on the frontier, war, and the seedy side of a non-federation outpost where degenerates and new species from the gamma quadrent create mayham.

    Best series in the genre imo

    Agree on all points.

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    Missed the 'Holodeck' part...

    But still seems too "Quarky" for me.

    I'd rather have a real person on the other end anyway...

    Creating someone to make love to, is a bit too much like a blow-up toy for my tastes.

    <shrug>

    It's more like glorified masturbation then sex imo... but hey, lacking the love of a real woman, a holo one is the next best thing

    I wonder if the Minetrap pathing trouble for the Romulan Colonists is addressed in this patch? *hopes for the best but doesn't expect it* Anyway, thanks for the work. I'm sure there's a lot going on I'm not privy to.

    Well, almost cool. I'll be having to shift off to RL about then probably. However, I hope the 70 pages of tracert data in that other thread helps figure out what/where the problem is!

    Wont be long now, guys. Think of it this way, you have a few moments left to "get a life!" Call your momma and tell her you love her....for some of you she is right up stairs. ;)

    Kiss your wife. Kiss your neigbor's wife. Let your wife kiss your neigbor's wife. :D

    Bring the old lady next door some chocolates. Eat the old lady next door's chocolates.

    Mow your lawn. Mow your neigbor's lawn. Mow your neigbor's cat!

    An hour and 45 minutes? Really? Well that better be the case.

    ...or else?

    Well ... it took a while. And a few respawns. :D

    I'll make a video next time.


    Nah, I was just joking. I've taken out big ships in a shuttle (granted it took countless respawns and more "Ramming Speed" buffs than I care to recount).


    In regards to the downtime, I have no issue with maintenance. I think the issue most people are having is that they waited until the begining of an event that was heavily promoted to continue messing around with the patch servers. Timing is everything an that smacks of not only poor timing but poor decision making.

    Logic demands that you have your ducks in a row before a major event, not wait until the begining of said event to tack on extra maintenance.
    How the Devs see Star Trek, apparently:
    Star Trek: The Original Grind
    Star Trek: The Next Grind
    Star Trek: Deep Space Grind
    Star Trek: Voyage to the Grind

    Watch the first 2 seasons.... though they are a bit slow and boring, a lot of really important charector development is done in the first 2 seasons that make all the following ones so much more enjoyable.

    You are really missing out if you skip them.

    Hi Devs!

    Thanks for trying to make sure login issues are less frequent in the future, but can I make a deal with you? I go back to sea on Saturday for 3 months (someone has to ship all those cheaply made goods around the world!) with no internet access apart from maybe a poor 2G roaming network in any ports I might visit. How about if you give me a tribble/trouble-free day tomorrow (i.e. no maintenance, no random tests) so that I can get my Ambassador class, and then you can have a full 3 months with the game offline for a full overhaul while I'm away so that its ready to play and perfect for when I get back!

    Thanks!

    :D

    People whine complain and stamp around like ungrateful wretches..

    but you know what...there's some people out there who have the right to stand up and drag Morgan Freeman over to explain to the devs 'this is how you fix an issue so DO IT'

    We are people who paid to play long before it became free
    we are people who have been around since beta
    we are people who have FOR LIFE ACCOUNTS
    and we are people who stayed and toughed it out despite the BS we have to dive through to get were we are now

    in lamens terms?

    Were the people who actually give a damn enough to point out what needs to be fixed or created.

    And personally I really don't care if anyone agrees with me or not. but facts remain no matter how someone tries to argue it.

    KDF needs new gear

    STOP FEEDING THE FEDS

    and for god sakes! Give the Gorn some more damn options...because im not sure if you knew this but...some of the species had what we call tails. and you have so many bloody NPC civilians on quo'nos walking around with clothes we dont have..so just slap it on our kdf tailor and be done with it

    and 4: GIVE US NEW GORN SHIPS. Come one...15 milling kdf an only slightly added vessels?
    and when are the ships INTERIORS gonna stop being half-assed? (ohh well just slap a bridge on for vanity sakes but leave the rest of the ship inaccessible unless its a normal one)

    stop TRIBBLE with the borg specs!

    and last but not least. something most of us vets have been curious bout...
    when do you plan to actually DO ANYTHING to the Captains Table we get access to? You know...as some type of reward or special runs that we get for having contributed as much as we have?

    THATS a patch I WANT to SEE.
