    Well, there is apparently now a Transformers MMO in the works. Only its by the makers of Ultima and doesnt seem to be slated for release for western territories. Tough. Should be coming to my place though.

    On the other hand, at that quality level of developer....im not going to get my hopes up.

    Reminds me that Cryptic actually has done by this game well. If you all could just sample some of the eastern made mmos, you'll realise where my bar's set. Which is pretty damn low.

    Edit: Wait that came out wrong. More accurately, STO's pretty high on my scale of things.

    Doesn't EA own the studio that makes Ultima now.

    It's not stealing.

    You only assume you're entitled to everything you could potentially reach. ;)

    EA does own Mythic (which took over UO). However, EA also bought Bioware and incorporated Mythic into Bioware.

    EA's Bioware-Mythic Studio now does MMO development on UO, WAR, and DAOC. They're based out of Fairfax, VA.

    Bioware-Austin and Bioware-Edmonton are working on TOR.

    You're saying thats a good thing? Or bad?

    Oh wow, way off from slipstreaming. Er........

    I thought about it more (not really), and i figure that it should be fixed only if slipstream could be spammed to the point that you cant get any anomalies. Otherwise its just you getting frustrated for 5 secs, 20secs later moving on to another anomaly, while the ninja just blew his slipstream for a few samples. Its irritating, but ultimately not for more than 10 secs.

    Slipstream only lasts for 40 seconds and has a 2 minute cool-down you really can't spam it.

    Exactly. Which is why nothing really needs to be done about it. Let people ninjastream. They cant keep doing it till they're practically griefing you, so its a non-issue in the long-run of your session.

    I asked him not to troll the thread i created please do not try to start an argument with me. It seems presbyterian you are an individual who seems to thrive on conflict. I have read mine. i posted a simple thread and you and a few others in this thread posted and attempted to turn a simple discussion thread into an argument and then when i pointed out that fact you attempted to try and turn the tables on me. Do not attempt that again.

    Disagreeing with your complaint isn't trolling, kiddo. To be honest, your complaint is childish at best and really not something to take seriously.

    My big cruiser ought to be able to tractor toss those damned escorts away from my anomalies. Sadly, i have no way to project my cruiser's magnificence. Escorts....u feel like yelling 'goddamned kids' while they fly around you.:rolleyes:

    I love doing that (the escort part) :p

    Not to insult anyone in the armed forces (for which I have the utmost respect) with this joke but;

    Cruiser pilots = the Navy (go to sea, drink coffee, deploy marines, complete turn you started 2 hrs ago)
    Sci pilots = the Marines (swift silent and deadly when trained properly with special weapons)
    Escort Pilots = Fighter Jocks (thrill seeking fast and furious damage cannons)
    Klingon Raptors = the Army (balanced and best in groups, possibly underrated by the above but not to be taken lightly. ever.)

    And BoPs? you know I have no idea......

    I love my Cruiser! Funny analogy, but probably hits the nail on the head.:D

    P.S. Nobody nows what to do with the Bops. LoL

    I've had this happen to me as well at my local coffee shop. I enter the shop but someone else uses their slightly faster pace to get to the counter before me.

    It's so aggravating.

    WINRAR!

    I do not pick on people. I also don't lower myself to make fun of someones mom(although I can think of a few good "your mom" jokes). You created this thread complaining about the use of slipstream drives in exploration maps. So I propose this question to you. Why should Cryptic limit a player from using a new power that they gave him just because it gives them a slight advantage over you? You have yet to answer this or provide any substantial reason to support your claim.

    I would also point out that you are the one bullying other people now by threating to report them just because you disagree with their point of view. Now who is the one being uncivil now?:rolleyes:

    P.S. On a side note wouldn't slipstream drive on your car be awesome?:D

    all I'm seeing from you and your friend is blah blah blah. keep posting in this thread doesn't mean i have to acknowledge your post or his any longer for attempting to get me to argue with the two of you good day gentlemen now back to the new topic at hand. armageddon in 2012.

    Threads are going to have comments that veer of topic, comments that go against your view or thoughts, comments that seem like jibberish, and comments that are "blah blah blah" in your opinion. That is what always happens when people get together talk about anything.

    I sympathise with your stance, as this happens to me as well. Though it really seems to be a non issue to me as I know I can just change course and head to another anomalie in the other direction. Or... I can wait till they respawn.

    Anyway... not trying to argue. Just giving my 2 cents.:D

    Transwarp > Slipstream because rather than just trying to speed-beat someone to a parking space you can jump right into it.

    You can also bypass traffic jams and avoid valet parking. :D

    oh I'm sorry are you talking to me daddy? sorry but my parents were killed when I was younger so you'll have to forgive me i wasn't aware you were still alive dad.

    I hate to be the one that points it out to you, but clearly you have issues. I think you should take a few days off from the forums to cool down. So maybe later you can become civil again.

    I hate to be the one that points this out to you. but you get the treatement you get bro. you be rude to me I'm going to give you 99 percent right back daddy. you reap what you sow. why couldn't you have posted a simple kind post like morgot? I wil tell yu why pres. because you don't have it in you to not be rude and nasty to me and you thrive on it and you get off on it despite me asking you multiple times to not be ugly or rude to me. So if your going to be rude and ugly to me don't expect me to be a kind sweetheart to you and offer you sugar cookies and lemonade and smile in your face. that's all I'm saying.

    And... that would be the adult way to handle it, rather then coming to the forums to complain to the faceless, uncaring masses. Congratulations on offering the only valid solution to the OP's 'problem'!

    And I thought you wanted a civil conversation. Did you not say you where just going to ignore us? Not to mention nobody has really been rude to you. You on the other hand have demonstrated nothing but hostility to not only me but to anybody that has disagreed with your posts.

    P.S. If I put money into the ground will I reap a money tree?:D

    no just you because its what you wanted. its what you thrive on because you keep coming back expecting me to argue with you so I've been doing what you wanted because what your really trying to do is get me to use profanity so you can hit the report button or possible go get a friend of yours that might be a contract worker for cryptic as a gm in a call center and then sit back and chuckle.

    it's no different than 2 people "racing" to a parking space for their car, it happens, it sucks, it's life, another one will be there shortly

    I can road rage on some one in my car, cant do that in STO, Also if that compact car wants to cut in front of the huge TRIBBLE truck pulling in the parking space i could possibly pretend I'm at a monster truck rally and just keep going :P

    Still think the way to solve this is make the Mission clusters not despawn when some one scans them. There are more people in these areas than missions by far, would also solve the problem of people complaining about it.

    A decent temporary fix, but in the end I'd rather they come up with a more interesting way to do clusters period.
    Preferably cooler looking too......

    Look I do not have a problem with you. Heck I do not even know you. I do have a problem with your position. That is why I asked the question. Why should Cryptic limit a player from using a new power that they gave him just because it gives them a slight advantage over you? Instead of answering my question you have resorted to pointless rhetoric. Now you feel the need to attack me. Please for your sake just get over it. There is no reason to have a fit over a game.

    To my knowledge none of my post have been rude or hostile towards you. If you want a civil conversation start by answering my question. Why should Cryptic limit a player from using a new power that they gave him just because it gives them a slight advantage over you?
