    Was talking on Doffjobs and theres 2 more, before you speak to Tasha and the other chap, if you speak to everyone in the buildings/rooms you get one

    also when in the tube looking at the Enterprise, if you stand still and do nothing while looking at the ship you supposedly get one when Tasha says something to you


    now about to run through on my 3rd character to try them out

    I stood there for quite a while and didn't get anything like that. The only time I was spoken to in that tube was about the force fields.

    Yeah, the Enterprise 1701 was automated when they went to Genesis. But given we are to correct the timeline, kind of a major oversight to forget the other hundreds of crewmembers of the Enterprise-C, now isn't it? Especially with the Battle of Naradra III? So it just ends up the Enterprise-C gets captured with only Castillo and Tasha Yar (providing T'nae got beamed off at the end of this mission as well).

    That or we got another STO paradox like Driffin's Comet. :rolleyes:

    someone was in my power tray so they had to beam them up in the background at some point.

    So, how do you say, "Yellow Alert! someone is stealing the Enterprise!" in Tholian?

    You get the belt and shoulder strap that the Big E - D crew wore in the episode... It's listed under "chest gear" and "belt" as an accesory to your On Duty Uniform...

    One thing to remember - after you complete the mission - you need to set all your BOFF station assignments back to what you had them set for before.

    Yep, the only negative point/annoyance to the mission. Otherwise, outstanding work.

    I'm really surprised by that mission.
    Not to say that i am impressed, i really like it.

    I think the misson designers have made a great leap into the right direction. Compared to some older missions, even though some where weeklys, this one is very well done.
    It's a shame it won't be a regular mission.

    I don't say this often about cryptics work, i think this one is a masterpiece IMO.
    If upcoming missions are going to be as high grade as this, i think we have something to look forward to.


    I absolutely hate the Galaxy class BOFF & Console layout.

    The only "bug" I experienced was the tactical and engineering officers placed on the map. They were using my crewmembers names, however their appearance were something completly different. Is this intentional? Had they looked like my crewmembers as well then it would have been very interactive, incorporating my own crew into the story. Very nice touch regardsless!




    Mine looked like themselves, just in the worker jumpsuit. I found it interesting that the Borg had nothing to say on the topic of her race.

    I really enjoyed the Episode. It fun. I never expected to actually get to see my character's mirror self. It was too bad they did not get a guy and gal to read the lines for your crew members. Not that I am complaining, mind you.

    It will be a regular mission once the event is over. So, unlike the Utopia Planitia from last year, this one is staying :D

    If you're talking about yar, I'm sure memory alpha has the whole thing, but I'll try to sum up.

    Yar died in season 1 of TNG. However, in the episode Yesterday's Enterprise, when the Enterprise-C when through this temporal rift, it created an alternate timeline where Yar survived and stayed on the Enterprise D, which met the Enterprise C when if came into the future of this alternate timeline.

    Now, the Crew of the Enterprises decided that in the hopes of a better timeline, they should send the Enterprise C back to get destroyed, thus preventing a war with the Klingons in this alternate time line. But Yar fell for this guy on the Enterprise C and decided to go back with him into the past, so now there are apparently two Yars in the "prime" timeline. This second Yar got captured by the Romulans and eventually had a kid by one of them before being killed for trying to escape. The kid grew up to be Sela, who was the empress of the Romulan Empire, etc etc etc.

    So, yeah, temporal paradox, but they have those every other week, so just squint and ignore it. And hope that helps.
    It's not a paradox. It's a closed loop

    It is not paradoxial, it is just convoluted.

    When the Ent-D encounted the temporal anomaly the timeline the events were self-contained. We get to see an alternate future where things did not procede as we are familiar with. The Tasha from that alternate future goes back into the "real" past and from that we get Sela.

    The future we are familiar with goes on as normal, but with the addition of an extra Tasha that doesn't exist in the "prime" universe, but is fully allowed to exist by the rules of (fantasy) temporal physics. Star Trek obviously subsciribes to the alternate time line theory of time travel, so none of these occuracnces are paradoxial.

    After being inside the Wells class cut scene and we're back in our own ship, we're supposed to go to the Tholian base... anyone know where it is? Map doesn't show it.

    It says exit the system, then it tells me to come back to the system... And I go right back into the tunnels and have to repeat everything over and over.

    Agree. Kinda makes me mad we're not getting this quality on a consistent basis.

    God knows we pay enough in lockboxes, or, like me, used to.
    Delta Rising is the best expansion ever and the players love it! No, seriously! ...Why are you laughing so hard? :(

    All of my BOs became Andorians. Alternate timeline INDEED.

    I was amused that my Liberated Borg BOFFs were in that time-line. And left thinking "Umm, this is probably really really bad.".

    I was also dissapointed that the Ambassador like so many other good ships didn't get its own bridge

    It was another crappy ground mission I passed in 5 mins without even needing to read the text. Only for Star Trek fans, but again, not for actual gamers, without any gameplay and showing all the lack of quality, graphics, design and decent animation of this game (lol, Tashia Yar looks like a robot speaking with and old-woman voice).

    Okay.

    Really loved it. The plot was convoluted enough to be a Brannon Braga Voyager script but I felt the quality carried it (as it did with Braga's better episodes).

    I'd eat up more missions in this vein. If they could do one of these a month, I'd say forget about FE SERIES and focus on awesome one offs like this.

    Just maybe not quite this complicated every time. :-)

    (BTW, I was surprised the 29th century guys didn't mention integrating us with our Prime counterpart; I THINK they did but that had to be my favorite wacky concept from Relativity; that whenever a spare of someone pops up due to a paradox, the time cops merge the two versions in a temporal transporter.)
