As some know i recently quit STO that isnt in doubt nor is it the discussion of this thread.
I have made freinds ingame which some i still speak to and those also quit due to the BS that craptic keeps doing to the players 2 of my buds just stopped due to the ReReRerelease of the intrepid as a t-6 variant.
Now some of my freinds who i dont speak to now do read this forum and to you guys am i trying to reach .....just how much more are you guys going to stomach before youve had enough.
seriously guys this is never gonna get better cryptic has shown their hand and where this game is headed.
But in all honesty people LoR is where this game peaked it wont get as good as it was then STO is in decline and its obvious they relise this by the fleecing thats going on.
So not only do you guys my friends ingame that i cant contact now but the playerbase as a whole must ask themselves just how much more of this till youve had enough.
and if you can stomach this?! then ask yourself if this is still star trek and why your still playing a game that uis clearly not star trek and if your reason is because its trek....then you need to think it over.
anyways i do take friendship seriously and thats why i felt compelled to say something to try and reach those friends i no longer chat with.

If getting those responses is the only purposes of a thread then that is the basic definition of intentionally trolling the community.
But hopeing it curves back to the "good days" like before DR, we will have to see it to believe it.
My intent is as mentioned NOT to illicent a respnose or opinions its meant to try and reach friends i no longer chat with who read the forums.
its not a matter of whether someone agrees or disagrees thats not the point my point is the hope some of my buds and maybe pothers see and understand whats going on.
Idk if you take frinedship seriously but some of us do and i wouldnt be a good friend if i didnt atleast try to point out to a friend that they are getting screwed over.
And obviously you don't think that your "friends" are intelligent enough to play the game and make the decision for themselves. Some friend :rolleyes:
well it is their choice im just trying to point out the obvious and if they still like getting screwed over then thats their choice i just felt compelled as a friend to point this out to them food for thought.
However, there is no sign a new Star Trek MMO is on the horizon, nor is there anything else out right now or projected to be out in the future that tells me I would get more entertainment value out of devoting all of my playtime I would have devoted to STO in that direction.
Does Cryptic make 100% awesome decisions 100% of the time? No. In fact, lately I'm more than a little disappointed with their decision making.
But I still love STO despite its flaws, because no game will ever be perfect. Not now. Not ever. And STO is the only Star Trek MMO, and I can paraphrase another poster by saying it's a Star Trek game they've gotten mostly right.
And if they've gotten Star Trek mostly right, then hey, I don't see myself going anywhere.
Besides, there is no other 'perfect storm' of fanboy rage than the Star Trek fandom. Mixed in with the typical rage you get in an MMO... this is most certainly a time in my gaming hobby to remember fondly -- even if it's at the expense of others.
"This much more!"
p.s. to the god zeus. I hope you have a permit for that free speech. we don't cotton to them demonstrations of more than 1 person here in new york city. get's out pepper spray and taser for old ladies.
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
The fact you conjured up that post without the slightest hint of irony is really amusing.

Don't drink the cool aid
Um...if these people were really friends of yours then why didn't any of you figure out a way to keep in touch outside a video game?
Besides, I'm sure these people are fully able to make up their own minds. And if they are still playing (since no-one can know) we can assume they already have.
Lacustris: I can stomach this.
Lacustris: Hey Lacustris... is this still Star Trek?
Lacustris: Yes Lacustris, at least in as much as it was before.
Lacustris: Lacustris?
Lacustris: Yeah?
Lacustris: Why are you still playing a game that uis clearly not Star Trek?
Lacustris: I just said it is Star Trek... Just implying that it wasn't always explicitly "Star Trek" in that it portrayed an economy with more free market exchanges of goods and services rather than a post scarcity society where resources were distributed in a more centralized manner. Imo that doesn't sound like a very fun game which is probably why they designed the game the way they did. Honestly though this is still a pretty fun game.
Lacustris: You need to think this over...
Lacustris: I'll do that. Thanks for your concern. Clearly we have accomplished something great here today.
Lacustris: Word.
Lacustris: Word indeed. Goodbye my friend...
Lacustris: Hey Lacustris?
Lacustris: OMG WHAT DO YOU WANT??? I'm playing STO man!
Lacustris: Sheesh... Never mind if you're going to get an attitude.
Lacustris: Well I'm trying to play a game here.
Lacustris: I was just...
Lacustris: No man! I'm having fun. I don't need you pestering me every two seconds about menial TRIBBLE.
Lacustris: Sorry...
Lacustris: No *sigh* I'M sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you.
Lacustris: You've never yelled at me before...
Lacustris: You're right. I'm sorry.
Lacustris: Can we get ice cream?
Lacustris: Ice cream sounds great... Pal.
Lacustris:
Is that what was supposed to happen?
I don't normally say things like this but really just shut the hell up and go away. This thread is nothing but troll fail. If you quit then wash your hands of STO and stay away.somebody please shut this TRIBBLE thread down. End of negative rant.
I support the Star Trek Battles channel.
Ok, that made me laugh out loud! Good thing I am the only one home.
Well done, Lacustris!
hahahahahahahaha. The armchair attorney preacheth. Hmmm let's see if I can explain this easy. They mean that free speech on the internets is the same as other places in the big ugly world. For example, you can speak on a sidewalk about politics (unless you look dirty). But you can't walk into your neighbors house or the neighborhood cafe and do the same. There they can throw your TRIBBLE out. Just as Cryptic can on their private forums.
Guys, please do not quote posts that violate forum rules. Thanks! ~Bluegeek
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
That only applies to the Government. Not private businesses and certainly not the internet.
It makes me wonder why my cousin went to war to fight for these rights when people have no frakking clue how the rights work in the first place.
Please stop wasting my cousin's service with your ignorance.

IMO this one will fall off. Having "reReRerelease of the intrepid as a t-6 variant" is not a biggie...nor an excuse to fume much about. Some like tomatoes others potatoes so what? This is not a logical reason reason to quit STO. If people actually want to quit...do so but dont come back and complaint about something so petty....sorry not throlling just stating my opinion as you were
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
This was good, if only it had ended with the old Batman type closing..Will Lacustris get his ice cream? Will a ice cream headache end it all. Tune in next week to find out same Lacustris time same Lacustris channel
