    I love those web mines...soooo funny. I especially like watching when they snag something big like a Borg. LOL!

    So, I got the Web mines on a BoP (2 aft weapons slots)...what does that tell you about how much I care about DPS?

    Like I care about DPS, which is not a bit. I do like mines, especially in the Romulan Patrols/Radiation scans, because they chase down other ships while I'm shooting at something else. I like to have at least one mine sometimes.

    And I like it when the web mines snag just about anything, but big things is pretty funny.
    Now a LTS and loving it.

    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    I'm raising birds and monkeys in the expectation that Cryptic follows the pattern of the previous years and adds the latest marks (in this case Gamma) as a claimable option partway through the event (as well as in Red Alerts since they haven't added gamma as a choice yet). Each of my toons has about a dozen now and I'm holding off on turning them in just yet. When your characters have several thousand of every other mark type it's the only way to reach those levels in a reasonable timeframe (and that includes claiming the vanguard-unlocked goodies on other toons).

    I've put Lilly (she's the one in my avatar) in the new ship and loaded it with the stuff from her Chronos for the most part. Which means it's loaded with RomPlasma, the Rom ship set, etc. Along with the Quantum phase set, cause I just love that set. I put all three Vorgon consoles in it too. So it's not tetryon-based like my other two, it still kills things in a short amount of time. She's also sporting the tractor beam mine launcher. It works really well. She's just about got the trait on it. I just felt like taking a break.

    Tractor Beam mines? I forgot about those. I wonder where I put them???
    I can never find anything anywhere, any more.

    Re: Birds/Monkeys for Gamma. You got enough storage for that??? I am impressed.

    You probably have it sitting on one of your other ships. Or in your bank.

    I especially like using them against the Tal Shiar since their Mogais love using them.

    Yeah, the Roms can dish it but can't take it...when it comes to tractors. LOL!

    I own very few traits......BUT I got this one on all my main characters, couple of years ago (?).
    Note: even the Federation one!!!

    Now, I don't know if it made it to the Infinity Boxes or not... or how cheap it is in the Exchange, these days... but if you are playing around with mines, look for it.

    Man, everyone has their ships...even my Fleet Leader. I still have one more day. Unfortunately, I am not sure if I will have time to play the game tomorrow.

    Anyone have a clue how to pronounce the name of this ship????

    Vorgon Ytijara Dreadnought Cruiser

    I look at it and see: eeti - jara

    Oh no!!! It is the Abominable Snowman!! I know I must not be saying it right. LOL!

    That's as good a way to pronounce it as any other. Me, I kinda left the Y sound out and pronounced the rest like 'tee-ja-ra'

    I had considered that the "y" may be "silent"....except I watched a couple of STO You Tubers and they did not do that. And they were pronounced different from each other. Some just content with calling it a variation of 2018 Vorgon Dreadnought Cruiser. Which makes perfect sense to me because who in the hell would want to tackle that word?

    How would a word that starts with "Y" and "T" and "I" sound? How does the Vorgon language sound?

    I do not remember if the Vorgons speak their language on that episode on Risa... that may give a clue.
    When I find time....I will have to fast forward through that episode. The one with Picard and the Tox Uthat.

    I tried to find one of the "Ten Forward" live streams that may have mentioned the ship...get Cryptic to say it for us...but it is impossible to locate the archive. My google-fu kinda sucks, anyways.

    Unless someone in the know comes out and pronounces it for us, I say we pronounce however we like lol

    Well.... I looked up words that start with Y T in a Scrabble Dictionary. In all those words "yt" is pronounced "it". You know like: I, you, he, she, IT.

    Vorgon Ytijara Dreadnought Cruiser

    Is probably more closer to : it-i-jara

    Not: eeti - jara Though, I am still naming one of these ships on one of my characters "Yeti" LOL!

    I finally found the archives for Kael's weekly Ten Forward live streams. The list went from several "Victory is Life" episodes straight into "Age of Discovery". So, he may have had a Risa live stream...but I can't find it. LOL!

    After a google search I got "Tijara is a city and a municipality in Alwar district of the Indian state of Rajasthan." so it seems as if they took that word and added a y to the beginning.

    Maybe. They monuments were also a later addition so maybe next year the jem'hadar will get their own.
  • frtoasterfrtoaster Member Posts: 3,354 Arc User
    I guess I'm the only one who thought of a non-English-based pronunciation. My first guess was that the 'j' sounds like an English 'y', as in "jaeger" (from German) or "jarl" (from Old Norse). And I thought the 'y' denoted a vowel that doesn't exist in English (except perhaps for certain accents).

    OMFG....I am going cross eyed hunting artifacts!!! LOL!
    I got that "In a Geologic Sense...." accolade completed on a grand total of 2 characters thus far.

    I am actually doing Races for a change of pace. That is bad because I do not particularly enjoy those. LOL!

    LOL. I do enjoy the races even when I come in dead last. The powerboards are fun and so is the floater course. It's not bad once you know where the rings are and know when to go up or down.

    Aw, well, I've just lived long enough to try to see the bright side of almost any situation.

    Right now, I'm going to be helping my daughter a lot, as she broke her left leg last Sunday at church and had to have surgery to put it back together. When I walked into the emergency room, the first words out of her mouth were "I'm trying to be just like you, mom!" Meaning in 1997 I broke my left leg in an auto accident and needed surgery to put it back together lol.

    Anyway, a bright side can be seen in any situation. In regards to the races, I consider it a good race if I don't get disqualified. Then I get two tags. Three races, two tags each = one monkey project.

    From July 3rd at 8am PT, to August 16th at 10am

    *Chuckle* Where I don't worry about it. Beyond checking just to see what they need, I don't worry about it. I have every other accolade there, that one can wait.

    I am not "worried" about it at all. THAT is my goal. To finish it on the 8 characters.

    I can try for the accolade on the rest of my characters, next year. :grin:

    Doesn't everyone do these events with an outcome in mind? I want to have at least 20 stacks of 999 Lohlunat Tokens in the bank, too. Which is why I am not doing the short cut to gain the Artifacts....just the one to gain bonus favors. LOL!

    Well, you can do the hunt during the off-bonus time and turn it in when the bonus time comes around and get your bonus that way.

    Good luck with getting those eight accolades completed before the 16th! I pushed like mad to get it completed on five characters last year, so I don't envy you on that particular challenge (I seem to recall my use of bad language increased every time I found an artifact I'd already discovered).

    This year however the system isn't even giving me the luxury of finding different items. So instead of playing "Artifact Hunt" this Summer, I'm playing "Where's that ******* Ferengi hidden the ******* Vorgon deck plans now?" ;)
