    The cutscene animations when you run up and down stairs (seriously, half the time your feet are on the wrong step and it looks like your running in slow motion).

    How an NPCs mouth will not even make synchronous movements with what their saying.

    The obsessively confusing process in which you have to fix Drozana station's power in that one mission (I think I spelled the name of the station wrong).

    I really hate the confusing user interface in the foundry.

    No Earth cat minipets.

    The creepy voices of some NPCs (Hakeeve for example).

    Those are just a few but I still love the game.

    TRIBBLE on Saurian females.

    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.

    Speaking as a paleontology geek who specializes in awesomes--I mean archosaurs (post-Nesbitt, thank you very much), THANK YOU.

    You have made my day. Thanks for the breath of sanity, Sander!

    ERPers.

    Its one thing when you run see 'em in action (that's the last time I run to the top od Quarks), it's another when someone sends a /tell to you soliciting online sex.

    That's simply EW!

    "Unable to authenticate" messages in the STO launcher.

    Also, the Romulan Republic in its entirety. Give me back my Romulan Star Empire and throw D'Tan under the bus.

    Skimpy questionably shaped Barbie squads in battlezones & everywhere else, pretty much. But at least it gives me & my friend good laugh... :D:D

    Skimpy dress formal wear w/earrings and gold necklaces in a battlezone = ok but Risa outfits = bad. :P

    Saluting.

    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.

    That probably has something to do with Starfleet and the Federation being originally based on the United States back during TOS, which salutes with palm down.

    Yes, it's what's inside the skirt and belly shirt that counts. =3

    Hmm. We've seen the sonic shower. So ... are the toilets sonic too?

    How crazy is that?

    You don't have to wipe at all with a sonic toilet.

    Much more hygienic. Especially for klinks.

    The Federation, Starfleet in STO.

    The Romulans in STO.

    ESD.

    Most of all, ESD.
    That probably has something to do with Starfleet and the Federation being originally based on the United States back during TOS, which salutes with palm down.

    I can't recall an occasion in all Star Trek where you saw someone salute in Starfleet. Correct me if I'm wrong. We see Starfleet stand attention for ceremonies. We see in TOS an Honor Guard on the Enterprise standing in line at a modified parade rest with their phasers held diagonally across their chests (Ambassador Sarek of Vulcan was arriving). The only formal gesture we see is the Vulcan greeting, but that's not a military thing, and a cultural thing for Vulcans.

    The Klingons had the clenched fist across their chest. The Romulans did a sort of Roman salute (TOS). But Starfleet never had a salute in the shows (though I didn't watch ENT and half of VOY).

    The sonic toilet gets the butt cleaner than even a bidet. And since it's dry, there's no need for any hand to go near any buttholes. Sounds less EWW than the normal way to me.

    I like you. :) The Tal'Diann wants people like you to join in our work of eradicating the Tal'Shiar and supporting the Republic. If you're satisfied with the fleet you're in, I'll just put you in for a commendation instead.

    As long as you don't have a wooden prosthetic behind. The sonic doesn't do wood.

    The fact all the female NPC members of the Republic military look just like Tovan Khev's little sister. Honestly?
    I keep expecting General Kenobi to pop up in the Command Center. And yes, I have a bad feeling about this.

    STO players who insist on attempting to channel Gene (Honored His name! In His service, we grind!) for all us poor unwashed heathens.

    STO players who are oblivious to the obvious.

    People who insist on telling me, "You're doing it all wrong!" when I don't do something the exact same way they do.

    Watching my toon eat a Food item.

    Watching one of my Away Team eat a Food item I gave her.

    Having a female character(I'm a guy. So sue me) who doesn't dress like an extra from the SyFy Channel summer blockbuster Trailer Park Bimbos From Space and still having other guys hit on me. Some of the Private Messages
    I have received over the years are anatomically impossible and even if they weren't, they'd be against regulations. ;)

    D'tan.
    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.
    rofl... I can see that D'tan is not your favorite character.

    I thought the original character was cheesy.

    My major pet peeves:
    (1) After five people queue for a ground mission, only four players hit the 'engage' button.

    (2) Someone ripping apart religion in ESD chat, but they forget "Star Trek" is about universal tolerance.

    (3) Once the optional is missed in the Undine and Omega stfs, some player feels it is necessary to rant in the chat room. Even though the person puts so much energy into ranting, the individual does not offer to teach new players.

    (4) Someone posting rare and very rare low-level items on the exchange for over a million ec.

    I am satisfied with my current fleet but if I ever make another romulan alt I'll keep your fleet in mind.
