Pale Orions and Dominion ships using anything but Polaron weapons.
What about anyone else?

Some of those foods in the game are totally gross! Bug yuk, and slime this and that.

I can let the female Orions go, considering I have one myself. (Granted she usually runs around in Mercenary gear...)
But there are just some ship names out there that... yeeeaaaaa.
Besides that... some of the food.
normal text = me speaking as fellow formite

-Tovan Khev
-Any ship using weapons not traditionally attributed to their race
-Tovan Khev
-ERPers that don't integrate troll butthurt into their RP session
-Tovan Khev
-Anyone calling non-Escort tactical ships "Escorts"
-Any character whose name starts with a "T" and ends with an "ovan Khev"
-Anyone still insisting on having a 'screenname'-style character name even though names in STO aren't limited
-The lack of STO-exclusive lore that doesn't involve "the player"
-Wannabe canon ships like "U.S.S. Enterprize" and the like
-The inability to pursue another career in the Federation/Empire/Republic other than 'soldier'
-Did I mention Tovan Khev yet?
Those are what really grinds my gears.

You should have seen this one ship about Epohhs...it was vulgar..

-Mis-spelled ship names. This includes all the Enterprizes.
-Any name relating to a canon character that isn't being used ironically or humorously. It's just sad.
-Canon-babbys.
-Any Normandy.
-ERPing
-Any RP that can't handle a little disco ball action.
Undine only wish they were that ugly....

Moreso is Any Ship Named Normandy that isn't a damned Cloaking Defiant or similar Sneaky, Escort-y ship. Seriously, if you can't be original with a name, At least attribute it to something that freaking FITS in some way to the original source.
The SSV Normandy SR-1 and the Normandy SR-2 were both small, agile, stealthy ships.
They were NOT lumbering giants meant to spit TRIBBLE in every direction and inching along being an absurd steamroller.

Vulgar ship names

- Ships named Normandy SR-1 or Normandy SR-2. If you just use Normandy, I might assume it's a reference to the Normandy region on Earth. Adding the designator, though, makes it a specific ripoff.
- Ships named Galactica. Really? You have to steal from BSG, and the title ship is the only one you can think of? What about the Atlantica? The Pegasus? The Valkyrie? Even better, what about coming up with a name that isn't ripping off another intellectual property?
- Characters with names that are straight out of canon, either Trek or another, with "clever" misspellings to "hide" the theft.
Basically, anything that's stealing someone else's idea and passing it off as your own. If you really can't think of a character name, use the Random button. Want a non-random ship? Name from a category. (My main uses the names of famous Terran scientists; he's currently captain of the USS Hans Asperger. Another uses explorers, and just graduated to the USS Meriwether Lewis. See how easy it is?)
-That ship seems to have had a mass effect on the players.
I protest, I think James T Cat aboard the USS Kittyprize was a great undertaking and another victorious step forward in the lolcat world. =^.^=
...as for an ew moment, the elachi face, and the animation for defeated founders
melee weapons and midevil Armored people
The entire tac escort sto concept..........healing potions of all kinds.....belongs in D@d and wow
Green beams of repair that can rebuild a ship in seconds that took years to construct
ships the size of shuttles with more firepower than a battleship
Alien ships surrounding Krono's and earth with so called Feds or KDF in them
The total unbalence in the game
Near naked females...................There more logical than all of the above
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
- Inconsistency of any kind. If something comes up in a mission that contradicts something that happened in the Path to 2409, I want it fixed now.
- Sokketh's voiceover in "Diplomatic Orders".
- The lack of a standard Starfleet uniform.
- The Dhelan-class' default appearance. The type-2 and type-3 wings look so much more Romulan.
- The lack of any Reman hull materials in the Foundry.
- The lack of a user-friendly editor interface in the Foundry.
- The lack of any Terran Empire NPC Contacts in the Foundry except the battleship.
- Actually, quite a lot of things that are lacking in the Foundry.
- The Typhoon-class.
- The presence of Romulan Scimitar NPCs painted in Reman colors. Does Sela really not care enough to use traditional green on her flagship?
- The fact that the Republic chose a scary black WMD as their flagship class.
- Low-res ship models. Especially when a new version has been released for players, but they haven't bothered to swap out the old ones.
- The fact that we apparently can't get Reman or alien boffs for Republic characters.
- The fact that STO's backstory - especially the Path to 2409 - is no longer accessible from the main website. That lore is what attracted me to STO in the first place.
More to come.
"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."
-Thomas Marrone
- Orions in general. I'm sorry, but they're not my cuppa. I usually boast Klingon or Gorn.
- Unoriginal ship names. Yes, those include the Normandys, the Galacticas, the Enterprizes and the like. That one's a real nickpicker for me. I mean, I don't mind a Yamato because you either have the actual battleship or the space-faring anime ship and 9 times out of 10, it's the former over the latter. These? Guh. Granted, I'm not original myself - my Federation character's ships are named after not-popular-in-the-US anime characters while my KDF character's ships are named after states of anger - but still...!
- The Horta's slurping sound. I was routinely creeped out by their sound when I got my first headset for my computer and I kept hearing that.
Players who claim to be trekkies, or trekkers or just fans of Star Trek but then go and freak out or put down a specific series or movies. A TRUE trekkie loves Star Trek in ALL it's forms. Not like so many of these IDIC failing whiners.
Players who insist on harassing, insulting and just being down right rude to players not in their faction.
D'tan's voice.
Saluting D'tan.
Bowing to D'tan.
Standing at attention for D'tan.
Not being able to shoot D'tan.
Not being able to viciously stab D'tan.
Not being able to arrange for D'tan to die tragically in his sleep of natural causes.
New Romulus and everything in on it... not even because of its relationship to D'tan, it's just a hideous planet.

players who think they have the god damn given right to complain about other trekkers in some twisted sense but fail at it so completely they may as well not try in the first place.
STO is based on canon trek and there are a lot of elements on sto that support that, only recently has there been a lot of non canon additionals, but even then it needs to be star trek when it is considered non canon stuff to the game, meaning no matter what canon is apart of this game. you see how easy that was and how hard a fail that was? now as far as whining is concerned, well, thats not my place thats his/hers in the quote.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Aux to battery users.
Every federation ship except the defiant class and its other variants.
Ships with wings. (we're in space remember)
For the record, I named most of my ships on famous ships from tv and movies, like Galactica, Sulaco, and even Event Horizon, and input the release dates as Registry Numbers, simply because I wanted to honor those famed ships or their films.
As for original names, I came up with Retrocausality for my Mobius Time Ship, simply as Causality would have been the opposite if it were Federation, and not Terran Empire. Only a few other ships have original names.
***
Anyways, while I don't mind ships named after famous ships from film and tv series, what I don't like in STO is no Admiral's rank uniforms for All Good Things AND 29th century/Wells Class, and that the movements of the characters don't match up when they're talking.

The overly flirtatious Orion female captain... because I'm pretty sure that's a guy. Who won't leave me alone. No, I'm not going to ERP with you, please stop humping my character while I post stuff of the Exchange... <changes instance>
Swimwear for the upcoming Risa event. Sure it seems like a good idea, until you realize you'll likely end up with Letheans in banana hammocks and Tellarites in bikinis. The real kicker... the body textures won't have been completed for those species, so we'll end up with them both sporting Human torsos.
Folks that try to shoot others' ideas down by citing cannon. Yes, I know how I spelled it; the folks I refer to don't know why that's funny. I have no problem with citing canon, but if you're going to detail oriented enough to cite canon, be detail oriented enough to use the correct form thereof.
Just "Ew":
The sound defeated Founders make.
Elachi faces. And experiments. Pretty much the Elachi in general. Which makes them a pretty neat bad guy, really...
It's wrong. WRONG!
[edit]Oh, and those little pet raptors that aren't raptors at all, or any other sort of dromaeosaur. They're actually baby Voth bio-engineered dankanasaurs, which look more like a nanotyrannus that someone glued a crest and a sail onto for some reason. Don't get me wrong, they're cute an' all, but don't go calling 'em raptors. I mean for frick's sake, Jurassic Park raptors aren't even really raptors, and these things don't even have toe claws...[/edit - I could go on but nobody would listen.[/edit]
Pretty much everything else, I'm cool with.
...Oh, baby, you know, I've really got to leave you / Oh, I can hear it callin 'me / I said don't you hear it callin' me the way it used to do?...
- Anne Bredon
- The fact the Romulan Republic uses Ha'apax warbirds as their battleship mobs instead of D'Deridexes (D'Deridexi?). I get that they were trying to be different, but one is awesome and canon. The other is... not.
- All those aliens that look like people were just hitting the random button rather than actually making a species that looks like it belongs in Star Trek.
- I don't mind the guy himself otherwise, but I loathe Tovan Khev's voice. He sounds like he's about to go "hey dude, the pizza's here."
- The Maelstrom class design. Like, what even.
- Receiving a non-Klingon boff on my KDF chars. I like my Klingon Empire canon, thank you very much.
- That mission where you see the Elachi subsuming Romulans. *shudders*
Feds don't salute in the shows, Klingons and Romulans have their own 'kinda Roman salute.
Yet ingame we are all saluting like an earth military. Not even the cool 'palm facing forward' salute used by almost everybody, but the 'palm downwards' one.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.
