I feel a new Featured Episode approaching ... possibly involving Captain Nog.
Next week at the earliest. For the current FE we're only at week 2 out of a total of 3. Unless the dev team wants two FE to overlap.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
Qwen may have an accident at the airlock, after all we all how Patient Klingons are, but not before Qwen tells them all he knows. When the Galaxy is at stake Patients is not always a virtue.
I kind of think they're trying to de-emphasise the Iconian war by keeping it to a limited number of featured episodes and nowhere else. Maybe 2 more episodes.
And I kind of think this is a good idea. Despite the 5 year buildup if they make a long Iconian war it just makes it harder and harder for anything to come after. This way I think there's more hope for a realistic new storyline that won't feel like a let-down.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: "We think we've come so far. Torture of heretics, burning of witches, it's all ancient history. Then - before you can blink an eye - suddenly it threatens to start all over again."
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
Qwen's still wanted by the Benthan, the Hazari and the Hierarchy, at least, right? I vote we get to capture him and - in true Ferengi fashion - auction him off, turning him over to the highest bidder for their 'justice'...
"If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross; but it's not for the timid." -- Q, TNG: "Q-Who?"
^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...
The Ferengi: Great with business, but complete boneheads when it comes to keeping the galaxy safe. Have an Undine threat meeting and they think the priority is to talk about turning the sphere into a paradise. Got an Iconian threat looming over the whole galaxy and they want to sell the one artifact that could save everyone to a collector.
So you're hoping that the current let-down means that the next great story arc won't be a let down?
This is how people keep losing their paychecks at Vegas. Good luck with that.
Thank you for the well-wishes!

Someone really needs to hire an Eliminator to deal with Qwen.
Gets that about seals the deal on the Krenim being dead. If they are just about extinct at this point, then that is very unfortunate.
There IS still one time-traveling species out there that could turn the tide based on demonstrations of their technology: the Devidians nearly pulled an entire sector out of temporospatial phase and are adept time travelers.
Attempting any form of negotiation with them would be incredibly dangerous, perhaps even more ethically fraught than working with the Kobali, and could result in being stabbed in the back. My Earth-raised Devidian toon will be the first to warn you of that. But it IS a second option.

Agreed. I certainly wouldn't expect it until the current FE ends. We'll probably have another blog or two to "set the stage".
Then again, the current FE was delayed by one week and perhaps the devs want to get their schedule back on track.
To borrow a quote from another game, Time will tell. Sooner or later time will tell.

Our reports suggest a Ferengi Merchant named Qwen has recently come to possess a new artifact. War may be good for business, but Ferengi business may be good for war.
I wish they would allow me to cut his ears off, stuff them full of latinum, and force feed them to him. Then broadcast the whole thing to the entire galaxy for all to enjoy.

A devidian vs solonae conflict out of phase from normal space might make for a really interesting episode. After all, from delta flight we know the solonae have a fleet they can't use in the war's main front.granted, there's nothing to say the solonae are any more capable of surviving in the conditions the devidians live in than they are in real space. Still, it'd be interesting.
I imagine the collateral damage would be disturbing on many levels.
Qwen should be easy to get answers from, just the threat of taking his ship and profits into starfleet custody will make him squeal the info
"The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

ADMIRAL QUINN: Captain Deloi, we received a disturbing report... Some Ferengi was in here complaining that you tore off his nipples with a pair of 20th-century vice-grips?
The Ferengi: Great with business, but complete boneheads when it comes to keeping the galaxy safe. Have an Undine threat meeting and they think the priority is to talk about turning the sphere into a paradise. Got an Iconian threat looming over the whole galaxy and they want to sell the one artifact that could save everyone to a collector.
They even wanted latinum from the Alliance to send in ships to support the defense of their own damn homeworld against the Undine. :rolleyes:
I see this as the perfect opportunity to add to my rouge's gallery of Ferengi that have GPL imprints of their lobes hanging on my ready room wall. Their ships make the best targets to calibrate my ship's targeting computers on, and the best part is no one cares when you blow up their ships. Replicating a new plaque covered in the finest Corinthian Leather.
As an honorable human Starfleet Officer not raised in the Federation, I say this with all sincerity...I'm going to kill that little Ferengi. It will help me sleep better. I hope we get to give a speech to him about how the Iconians don't discriminate, and don't care about Ferengi profit, as they're going to wipe out the Ferengi as well. And after that speech...I will still kill him. He has lived by my mercy for far too long. :mad:
And if he lives..I want his FCA license.
"Rise like Lions after slumber, In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew, Which in sleep had fallen on you-Ye are many they are few"
I have a sickening feeling that Qwen will get away with it. He has done the last two times he screwed us over, why not this one?
Besides, the Wise Sages indicate that there may be a few things happening first before we encounter this artefact. And neither are the Krenim quite so dead as everyone thinks they are.

My answer? Three Strikes. :mad:

That last part in and of itself will be a relief. The fact that the Iconians wanted them dead so early in the game indicates that we need them.

CAPTAIN DELOI: Choke on my *&^$, Admiral.
QUINN: Good work. Carry on then, good day.
Not my reply, but more like "Yes Sir, is that a problem, sir? I was not aware you wanted the nipples for yourself."

Not quite, that one was Farek - Qwen is from a Delta Quadrant episode.

Krenim? who needs em?! All I need do is hit this little button on my chair marked Tipler, and Timey Whimey stuff happens ! ....
Seriously though, Don't most Science officer Captains STILL fly the Wells class ? I say we wrap this war up! :P
EDIT - WAIT A MINUTE ! Didn't the Ferengi sell me this ship in the first place?!

Concerning the wallpapers... Love 'em.
But as the lady once said... More, more, more.
No, that's Farek.
And I didn't let her live.
Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's, and yours.
I dare you to do better.
Pay-per-view. Don't forget pay-per-view.

Great poster, Trendy!
And I get the feeling we're going to be doing some contract renegotiations soon.
