That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.
I don't care about Delta Rising, I just want my Typhoon and Jupiter dammit.
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.

Yet the doom thread continues..no logical explanation for being closed down?
Note that closing down threads with no reason to some degree sends the wrong signal. Looks like there is a sentiment of "no tolerance" for those who don't agree to the propaganda and leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
If you must delete "one" opinion please do so to a single entry but WHY the whole posting and to top it all...with no reason.
Picking on my doom thread!! This thread will be doomed for that!! Seriously the threads where people mock one of the Devs usually never end well. Just an FYI.
Fair enough, though in my case I'm not mocking any of the dev themselves; they're the only ones capable of actually fixing the flaws of Delta Rising. Rather, I am using pointed humor to highlight certain aspects of a dev's statements regarding it. Delta Rising is the second of a whopping two Expansions, and frankly... Legacy of Romulus was the better of the two Expansions, with more Episodes, a whole new faction, improved faction balance (Blue vs. Red), etc. As to this player, I do not LOVE Delta Rising. That is not the fault of the content itself as much as it is the mechanics behind it, including certain changes (progression, time vs. reward nerfs, alt "penalties", etc.) and additions (even more grossly imbalanced faction offerings, flawed implementation, etc.). Delta Rising could have been great... it just wasn't.
However, actual feedback isn't the point of this thread or the original (IMHO), so back to the silly venting...
With each passing day I wonder if I stepped into an alternate reality. The Cubs win the world series. Donald Trump is President. Britain leaves the EU. STO gets a dedicated PvP season. Engineers are "out of control" in STO.
Why fanboys always come to whine about people having fun? do you think the devs gona give you dilitium by defend their lame expansion? DR is bad as hell and by far the worst expansion in the history of the STO, just lets remeber ¿any other expansion got a forum full of negative feedback? if you liket it, well good for you, now go back to your master feets.

Hey now, that post would be great to use a screenshot of as part of one of our sigpics. Have the catchphrase we've been playing with across the top, the Delta Rising promo wallpaper as the main image, and that quote across the bottom. It would be the BEST sigpic EVER and the folks in the thread would LOVE it! :P
Still, it's that poster's opinion... I didn't make said sigpic out of respect for that opinion. If that poster is incapable of respecting our opinion, so be it.
Besides, it has been boring, we're all being waaay too serious lately... more sigpics/memes please.

Now, now, I know who you are old friend :P
No picking on your Doom thread, which I love by the way
However; I love this thread as well, many of the sigs are funny as heck and make me laugh, regardless if I agree or disagree with what the posters say. Let them express themselves, this is one of the best threads since the Dooooom thread, harmless sigs that everyone is having fun with, which is becoming an internet phenomenon.
It is the next big Meme
by the way guys tone down the Dev critique, newromulan1 is right about that, even if I have been laughing my TRIBBLE off, some are very funny, but I would like to see the thread alive and kicking.
I neither agree or disagree with the posts here, but I do love the sigs and I understand the players frustrations. Keep it going people, as long as it is done in good taste.
NOTE: To those of you that are attempting to bash the theme of this thread, shame on you for complaining about the folks describing a real issue with the game with a touch of jest. It's just best ignore this thread altogether if you disagree with its theme.

Someday, signatures will be banned of the forum, and that day will begin a new funny avatars thread, and then the avatars will be pursued by inquisition, then the timer will allow post once each 24 hours, then once in a week, then... well idk.

Far from a fan boy. . But when you see it for the millionth time across every medium sto posts to it becomes like flogging a dead horse. . .

I love how all he said was one word, and you jump on him with assumptions.
Not that he was wrong I mean it was fun and stuff, but now it's just on repeat and getting stale
Not, so very, long ago..., I can still remember...
How that Cryptic, used to make me smile.
And I knew, if They took a chance,
That They could make a new expanse,
And maybe make us happy for awhile.
But Delta Rising makes us shiver.
With every blog that They deliver.
Bug news on the forums,
Is pizzing off the quorums.
I can't remember what They implied,
When I, read about what They described.
As something great, would soooon arise.
The days before, Delta Rising, arrived.
[Chorus]
So bye-bye, Cryptic alibis.
Drove my Connie to the quadrant, but that game it just died.
And their "Hamster-drive" it was completely fried.
Flingin' bits of rodents so ultra-high.
Bits of rodents, so ultra-high.
[Verse 1]
They did write the Book of STO.
And had so much faith in that Gecko.
Cause he said..., "Make it So."
Now do you believe that S-T-O,
Can save your mortal gaming soul.
And can you teach me, how to reach, Mr. Ta-coOOoo?
Well I know, that he's not at the gym.
'Cause we're here, at a Trek Con-ven-tion.
We all are so bemused,
By those "Delta Rising" blues.
I've been an avid Star Trek gaming buck,
Blissfully raising my Winter Epohhs.
But I knew I was out of luck,
The day, "Delta Rising" struck.
[Chorus]
I started singing, bye-bye, Cryptic alibis.
Drove my Connie to the quadrant, but that game it just died.
And Their "Hamster-drive" it was completely fried.
Flingin' bits of rodents so ultra-high.
Bits of rodents, so ultra-high.
[Verse 2]
Now for three years, it's been a grind-stone.
Di-lith-i-um we've all bemoaned.
But that's not how it used to be.
When DStahl gave us his future dreams.
In a forum blessed by A-TAR-RI.
We all just listened quite gleefully.
Oh, and while we all were quite spellbound,
ATARI shopped the game around.
The sale it was confirmed.
Perfect World will make us all squirm.
And while Emmert made his sad remarks,
P-W-E was planning in the dark.
And we looked forward to seeing Quark.
The day "Delting Rising" arrived.
[Chorus]
We were singin' bye-bye, Cryptic alibis.
Drove my Connie to the quadrant, but that game it just died.
And Their "Hamster-drive" it was completely fried.
Flingin' bits of rodents so ultra-high.
Bits of rodents, so ultra-high.
[Verse 3]
Helter skelter the game was altered.
Our ships flew round while the hamsters faltered.
Free-to-Play was coming fast.
It landed like a photon blast.
The players tried to stand steadfast,
But the RNG had all been previously cast.
Now Cryptic tried to stay the DOOM.
While DStahl played his last good-bye-tune.
We got our first expanse,
Oh, but Rommies never had a chance.
'Cause players tried to make appeals
But the Cryptic Devs refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed.
The day "Delta Rising" arrived.
[Chorus]
We started singin' bye-bye, Cryptic alibis.
Drove my Connie to the quadrant, but that game it just died.
And Their "Hamster-drive" it was completely fried.
Flingin' bits of rodents so ul-tra-high.
Bits of rodents, so ul-tra-high.
[Verse 4]
Oh, and there we were all ready for space.
Unable to log-in to Their database.
With no chance to get at our crewmen.
So come on, 'Q' be nimble, 'Q' be quick.
Even 'Q' can't fix what's so 'cryptic'.
'Cause "Cogent" is the devils greatest friend.
Oh, and as we tried to say "Engage"
While forum posting all in a rage.
No Redshirt born in Hell.
Could break that Cryptic spell.
And as the forums raged throughout the night.
To tell the players unearthly plight.
I saw Geko laughing in the faint starlight.
The day "Delta Rising" arrived.
[Chorus]
He was singin', bye-bye, you forum sam-urai.
Drive your Connie's to the quadrant, cause the game it's just fine.
And Our "Hamster-drive" is completely divine.
Never saying that I might have just lied.
Saying that you all dra-ma-tize.
[Outro]
I met a girl who played a Ba'ku.
And I asked her for some happy news.
But she just smiled and turned away.
So I went to the sacred C-Store,
Where I bought some ZEN the year before.
But the website said no Euros here today.
And in the threads, the players screamed,
The Klingons roared and the Feddies dreamed.
But not a Dev had spoken.
The 'STO' queues all were broken.
And the captains I admire most
Picard, The Kirk and Archers' Ghost.
They caught the 'Nexus' goal-post.
The day "Delta Rising" arrived.
And they were singin' bye-bye, Cryptic alibis.
Drove my Connie to the quadrant, but that game it just died.
And Their "Hamster-drive" it was completely fried.
Flingin' bits of rodents so ul-tra-high.
Bits of rodents, so ul-tra-high.
[Chorus]
They were singin' bye-bye, Cryptic alibis.
Drove my Connie to the quadrant, but that game it just died.
Their "Hamster-drive" it was completely fried.
And flingin' bits of rodents so ul-tra-high.

Something tells me the Cryptic folks and the Moderators are about to quickly lose their sense of humor regarding these threads. Or have lost it already.
It was fun while it lasted. Still didn't find out the fate of Voporak. Apparently he is officially MIA.
In before I get Thor's banhammer.
its what happens when someone speaks for the majority without consulting them first. frankly these sigs are probably not gonna get the type of protest response from cryptic was one would expect, i hope the players here are prepared for a potential massacre in the making on these forums here.
in any event, ive stated my bit thats if anyone cares to notice on their own dime, otherwise thats that.
