Right, own up, who has been giving the KDF Transporter Chiefs Romulan Ale?

When your grinding, time is always against you, whether your replaying missions to vendor-scrap breen goodies quickly, or if your doing "Tour The Universe". You enter Qo'nos orbit without any second to spare, you try to beam to the First City, and then end up at the Shipyard! Sometimes you try to beam to the First City from the Shipyard, and rematerialise again, at the Shipyard!!

So i would like to know who is giving the Transporter Chiefs Romulan Ale? When i find out who i will energy-whip their behinds into the next galaxy!

    No. Not Romulan Ale. He's hooked on blood-wine.
    See that big fountain of blood-wine at the bar? The transporter chief is a regular customer. :P
    Even worse, both of them are! :D

    Klingons don't like romulan ale it's too sweet! :) Maybe the chef fell in the blood wine fountain last night :o

    Naw. Bloodwine and Romulan Ale have nothing to do with it.

    I think he just gets his kicks out of watching Orion girls materialize over and over again. There must be an instance where the clothes (what little there are) materialize after the body does...and so he intentionally causes a "transporter error" to increase the potential error rate for a wardrobe malfunction...

    So...he does it to everybody, because he does not know in advance if there is a hot girl materializing...or that nasty, bad-tempered Gorn that might rip his limbs off for being so bone-headed....

    I thought he was just bitter because he is relegated to being the transporter guy instead of out killing feddies.

    ... This explains why certain parts of my female Orion beams up and beams down first.

    Most disturbing teleport I've seen in sto is a pair of eyes appearing first, then the body - It was technically nude, but evidently transporter tech evidently hides any floppy and/or dangly and/or sticky-out bits by teleporting the body in first, then clothes then the 'underwear department', shall we say...

    ...I put it down to my Klink trying a cocktail of rom ale, bloodwine, battery acid and a pureed targ heart made by the cute orion bartender on his ship..

    For some reason my eyebrows always beam out before the rest of me :D

    And re: the Transporter Officer - welcome to the KDF :rolleyes:

    Oh, and that Exchange Terminal? No - it's not broken - just go all the way to the end there - no, further - further! There you go :)

    always up for one, though i probably shouldn't be saying that on these forums...though, to be fair, they've seen much worse :P

    yep, it's been happening to everyone since at least as far back as when i started playing, which was just before the game's 2nd anniversary, and probably even before that

    That's Saurian brandy you're thinking of. Romulan ale is so bitter it gives most Klingons an instant headache.

    And as for the transporter malfunctions, my chief engineer might have "borrowed" a Heisenberg compensator or two. My bad.

    This happens to me all the time. It's really starting to get annoying, the worst was when I was trying to beam down to Qo'noS from the shipyard and reappeared in the shipyard four times before I eventually ended up on Qo'noS. What's worse is my avatar is a female Alien reptilian I created so she's not exactly a sexy Orion girl that he has an excuse to want to see. Does he have some sort of fetish for reptilians?

    ... Then after I'd done what I needed to do on Qo'noS, I went back up there and beat him with my Bat'leth out of sheer frustration. I just wish he'd reacted.
    I am NEVER calling my avatars 'toons'.

    Be thankful, your not running a Gorn, otherwise you may be one of the few who will see a Gorn butt naked!

    STO would be paying for your counselling for years if you saw such a sight! lol

    what's wrong with seeing something like that? it's not like gorn, as a reptillian-based species, have visible genitals anyway

    If Gorn follow the same parameters as Earth reptiles, then I'm sure there wouldn't be anything too disturbing if I saw one without his clothes....

    ... If not then, yeah, I think I'd have to have counselling XD.

    EDIT to say: I 'would' run a Gorn if there was a female option. But I understand it has to do with canon and whatnot so I just made my own reptilian instead. But most of my bridge officers are Gorn even so.

    They are Lizards it wont make any difference.

    Most of the time i laugh it off, but not when i'm doing "tour the universe", where every second counts to get as much EC as possible, you arrive at Qo'nos, you click to "Beam to First City" the transporter chief gets it wrong, then wrong again, then the loading screen freezes, and you see the red text, "server not responding..."

    That is when i start properly raging!
