    I don't know how you can laugh or joke so much Smirk, with all the BS the company is dishing out.

    Because that is what Smirk is being paid to do, and if it stops, so does the paycheck and the food on the table.

    Take a look at the labor market sometime. There won't be a new job if Smirk gets fired. They'll just find someone else to try to make light of all of it.

    Personally, I feel very sorry for Smirk and Trendy having to bear the brunt of the bs that goes on above them. I'd decide it not worth the check eventually.

    For the record, I've seen people on my fleet's bboard commenting on the changes, the reports from them (y'know, people actually playing the game and looking) aren't as negative. *shrug*

    So my general attitude is 'wait and see'.

    Sucks this is taking up the last three hours of the Risa event. There goes my ability to turn in my last days worth of birds for marks.
    Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.

    1) I did not criticize them or their decisions. How can anyone be negative? Game is good.

    I like state of this game, of pvp and its development also state of KDF. There is so much content that I don't know what to do first. I also like grinding marks for reps.

    2) Great, they will surely improve it just like they specialize in revamps and improvements.

    3) Maybe, I personally like dinosaurs with lasers attached to their heads, i think it's canon and good for trek game.

    4) They should continue to use social media for important game info and stop doing blogs.

    I wish you would be constructive instead of sarcastic, had you phrased it like this they would be more likely to listen:

    1) I am concerned about the state of this game, including it's lack of development in the Klingon faction and PvP system, and I personally do not enjoy grinding reputations.

    2) While I understand that they have said they are working on it, based on past history I am not sure if they wll follow through, or will make the right improvements.

    3) Maybe, however I believe exploration should play a larger role in this game, and feel that dinosaurs with lasers do not fit a Star Trek setting

    4) I do not like their use of twitter for announcement, in my opinion, communication should be through official forums instead of social media


    ^^This is the kind of response they listen to

    it's too bad that r&d inventory isn't exempt from the vendor sales and items in it appear above regular inventory items while selling, which means i won't be using it either way.

    i'll probably be keeping all the crafting materials in the bank as usual.

    This is a bit annoying, to be sure, but that is why i use the drag and drop function instead

    Question is ''how much Dilithium''? Is it worth the daily grind?

    *get my Persistent Officer Uniform ready*

    Not really....Dyson Dailies, Rom Dailies and Defera Hards give 320 dil.

    Defera Mediums give 224

    Defera Easy, Dyson mini and rom mini give 120

    Many players including me were positive, negative yet it didn't change the game for good so my last option before uninstall is sarcasm.

    Seeing state of game I/we can conclude that positive/negative/constructive feedback* don't work but thank you for feedback making lesson.

    *see galaxy lolrevamp, story content, pvp/pvp balance and new (lol) maps, KDF things.

    SOO happy im going to get to craft better things now. Been watching lots of these posts and I really like w'hat im seeing out there.

    I wonder if the winners from the Risa photo contest will be uploaded in this, and also, on a random note - I would love to see mark boxes stacked in my inventory and not just sitting there- I want to save that stuff up for some reason. anyway.

    so happy about the update going live today- I'm going to be thinking of it all day at work as I do my real life grind.

    Say hi to UFP Starfleet while you all are out there in the sectors !!!

    I would have to +1 this, i would like for Cryptic to make these boxes stack, as well as for there to be a en masse conversion for marks.

    Still waiting on a comment clarifying the things from the tribble notes that didn't make it to these patch notes. Are they included and not mentioned or are they not being updated?

    Since they're ready, can't we get the blogs now? I mean, at least that'll give us something to read and discuss while the maintenance is going on.

    Hello, I have just logged in to download a patch and there was nothing downloaded. Has it been released yet? And no, I have not prepached, always closed the launcher as it popped up.

    Ditto, if they remove the NPCs that give the missions and take the trade-ins. They don't HAVE to remove them to end the events. But it seems likely that they will.

    Fairly sure they already said somewhere that they wouldn't, and we'd still be able to turn stuff in.

    Too lazy (and hungry) to search right now, though. Bacon levels low!
