Me? I'm off duty. Naah, I don't have anything special planned tonight. Although, Empress Hoshi invited me to her quarters for a nightcap. Think I'll take her up on it."
A six year old boy and his starship. Living the dream.
According to one of the novels (I forget which) the full Rule of Acquisition actually reads, "Never make fun of a Ferengi's mother. Make fun of something he cares about instead."
(Granted, in Quark's case they're the same thing.)
Hmm, interesting possibility. I could see that fitting.
I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.
My fed: I now understand the true meaning of logic, NOW GO FU*K YOURSELF GAUL!
My rom: lets see what happens when I cut off this Tholian's head crystals
or: maybe Hakeev's eye implant will give a better view of the universe, now how the elements do you extract this thing?
my kdf: (on Kobali Prime) Now where did I put that land mine?

Captain: "Stardate 9521.6. Captain's Log, USS Verona, Vemmol Ylr commanding. After three years, I have concluded my survey of the entire Star Trek Online universe..."
*a strange rumbling is heard. The captain's coffee cup smashes on the floor, a general alert alarm sounds*
Chief Science Officer: "I have a dev's nerfing wave at 240 degrees mark 6, Port Sir!"
Captain: "Visual!"
*the screen shows a huge wave flying across the STO galactic map, evaporating entire exploration clusters, patrol missions, PvE queues, fleets, and casual players in its wake.*
Captain: "My.... God!... "
*the captain stands up off his chair, stunned at the sheer scale of the nerf*
Captain: "shields... SHIELDS!!!"
Helm: "We've only got Mk XII Very Rare shields and engine set!"
*too late, the ship is buffeted by the enormous nerf... players everywhere are thrown out of their casual gaming experience*
Helm: "She's not answering her helm! Mk XII isn't good enough anymore for anything really interesting or fun!"
Captain: "Starboard, Commander-dressed-as-ensign! Turn her into the wave!"
Helm: "Aye!"
*The wave reaches Qo'nos, decimating entire playerbase alts and laying First City a bare hulk of NPC Romulans saying that Klingons aren't too bad (when they're not real people)*
Captain: "Quarter impulse power!"
*the captain struggles back into his chair*
Captain: "Damage Report!"
Redshirt: "Checking all systems, Captain..."
*as the purple c-store boff looks, the whole ship's expensive top-line gear is nerfed into oblivion, no longer able to engage PvE queues, nor complete DR without tons of pointless, enjoyment-breaking grind*
Captain: "Don't tell me that's what they called the most successful expansion ever?"
