    Alrighty Star Wars sucks? No not really, they story lines in the game really good but I don't want to much argument. I prefer STO anytime over SWTOR

    Star Trek and Star Wars are both great in their own way. So is Lord of the Rings for that matter. I've never understood fandom's proclivity toward saying, in essense, 'in order for the thing I like to be respected properly, the thing that you like has to be torn down.'

    I will say that I think that the new Star Trek movies are a bit of a mistake in my opinion. Star Trek has always been at its best in the television medium. Star Trek is best experienced when its fans have the opportunity to have the characters be a part of their lives on a weekly basis and that's where the type of storytelling that typifies Star Trek thrives. Star Wars, on the other hand, has always been at its best as an exterior phenomenon. You might admire Luke Skywalker and Yoda and Han Solo and so forth, but you never really feel like any of them are a regular part of your life. Star Wars exists as spectacle and that's probably where it finds its stride.

    That's my two cents anyway.

    In case anyone does not follow the main website, the problem here is a Network outage, not a server outage, and it is affecting several of PWE's games. Cogent is at it again.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    not sure what game your playing but there is not everyday maintenance. and incase you didn't notice there was no schedule maintenance this week so that might have something to do with this outage.

    There was maintenance this week, just no patch

    Everyones entitled to their opinion. My 2 cents? Star Wars = flushing sound.

    I want to sincerely thank you for your input and professionalism, Morrigan. When you've entered into this thread, you have consistently maintained a level head and a jovial outlook that is wonderful to witness.

    If you ever despair at reading all the forum negativity, at least know that myself and others genuinely, and greatly appreciate the way you handle community interaction.
    Well, thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate them.

    I want to do my best to take care of you guys. I'm sitting here waiting for as soon as I get those critical messages updating me on our current status. Then I test it. Then I immediately tell all of ya'll.

    These forums? This is something I take very seriously and care about. My responsibility is not to shy away when things get a little crazy. I am your Community Manager.

    As far as I can work out "The Force" is actually a form of energy communism.

    all life breeds energy that powers the force, it's just that some life is able to channel and manipulate that energy. "The Force" itself has no sentience and thus if it has power it has no concious ability to use that power.

    I've been looking at http://www.starwarsattacksquadrons.com/

    If it's anything like X-Wing or Tie Fighter I'm in :D

    downloading now, i'm going to check it out.

    That's my two cents anyway.

    It's funny because they appeal to the same set of moral underpinnings as each-other, It's like viewing a Durer, Da Vinci and a Monet, the styles may be very different but the underlying beauty that draws the eye is the fabric on which all 3 are constructed.

    In other words, don't hate, appreciate.

    Greetings Players,

    Thank you all for sticking with us today as we continue to triage the network issue we are currently experiencing – it is only affecting the games/ servers listed below.

    Rest assured that we have our best Engineers on the case and we have made good progress in the last couple hours. While our current ETA for a resolution is still several hours from now

    Several hours?

    *nods*

    You have One.

    just to let you into something about the whole hating star wars and star trek, well when you get a chance why don't you go look into who copied who as in the creation dates of each fanchise. Honestly I love both because if you look at both star wars and star trek they both have their own amazing stories and they both even have many books and movies and even comics. Why do anyone have to discriminate to either world of star wars or star trek. Just because someone may have copied or what ever, who cares! You are childish if you hate one or the other. You should appreciate both and see them for how much time, effot, and work went into those worlds. "If you judge others than you judge yourself and your beliefs."

    well I agree, and for the record wasn't star trek first, then star wars came out and star trek did a movie of the back of it lol. but come on why do people always seam to think its one or the other. its like being given and apple and a banana and then getting told you must pick one as the best and the other must be thrown away as weak imitation, when clearly they are different. ok they both got star in their name big woop does that mean stars in their eyes should be added to the argument... ok taking it to far there but you get the point. erm what was I going to say I got sidetracked there...oh yeah Star Trek/Wars both are good and that's that.
