    Let's see, things that make me go ewww. or annoy me in general.

    1. Characters or ships named after TRIBBLE stars.
    2. Characters or ships suggesting sex acts.
    Note - I'm actually far from a prude, I just think it's inappropriate.
    3. Ships named Enterprize, Enterprice, "Inherprize" or any variation, same goes for ships named Voyager, or Defiant. I mean really people, grow a imagination already. :rolleyes:
    4. Federation ships named "Death", or "You're dying breath", or "Your last scream" - names to that affect.
    5. Gotta go with Tovan Kieve too.
    6. Getting gouged for dilithium at every tier of a reputation, then having all rewards also having a steep dilithium cost, then having to spend dilithium to open a store, who's items cost....DILITHIUM. :rolleyes:
    7. Paying for a costly ship, with model errors, (thankfully this has happened less lately)
    8. Some of the local chat at ESD.

    Every MMO I have played has those same kinds of people. Unfortunately I have a bad habit of putting my screen camera at certain angles.....sorry TMI.:D.

    How an NPCs mouth will not even make synchronous movements with what their saying.
    Makes sense to me. Why should their mouths be synchronized with what they're speaking? They probably aren't even speaking in English, we just hear it that way because of the Universal Translator.

    That is one possibility but what about the time it was conning from Worf or Ambassador Sokketh (however you spell it)?

    I wonder if Worf even speaks English. If he speaks any Earth language, it would likely be Russian. But, as we see in the series, even kids in space get universal translators. So maybe Worf never learned how to speak anything but Klingon.

    Worf grew up in Russia, it's highly unlikely he learnt Klingon until partway through TNG.

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    However, he lived on Qo'noS until he was five, according to the Memory Alpha entry. His father then took Worf and his mother to live on Khitomer, where a Romulan attack orphaned him about a year later.

    So it seems likely that he had a child's fluency in Klingon, and learned either Russian or Federation Standard after his adoption by the Rozhenkos. He might have been forced to learn English in school; however, the ubiquity of universal translators leaves this uncertain.

    Some of the player characters and their Boffs running around in barely any clothes, especially in combat zones; think Barbie squads. Not all of them are decent looking to start with and they are just pixels on a screen.

    Some ship and character names including just about every variation on Enterprise.

    Players in ships that are not ready for sector red alerts and end up being like bugs going splat on a Borg's windscreen. (This one also makes me shake me head and sigh).

    Yes, I fly a Dreadnought cruiser. Deal with it.

    I think I'll let Kanril Eleya answer this one for me.
    Not sure why I’ve got a taste for Klingon food; most of my countrymen hate it. Still, they do cook some things I won’t touch. Like gagh. Live worms. Gross, and it turns into intestinal parasites if you don’t chew it properly. ‘Course, some humans eat deadly poisonous fish. Takes all kinds, I suppose.

    -Tovan Khev
    -Any ship using weapons not traditionally attributed to their race
    -Tovan Khev
    -ERPers that don't integrate troll butthurt into their RP session
    -Tovan Khev
    -Anyone calling non-Escort tactical ships "Escorts"
    -Any character whose name starts with a "T" and ends with an "ovan Khev"
    -Anyone still insisting on having a 'screenname'-style character name even though names in STO aren't limited
    -The lack of STO-exclusive lore that doesn't involve "the player"
    -Wannabe canon ships like "U.S.S. Enterprize" and the like
    -The inability to pursue another career in the Federation/Empire/Republic other than 'soldier'
    -Did I mention Tovan Khev yet?

    Those are what really grinds my gears.

    D'tan.
    D'tan's voice.
    Saluting D'tan.
    Bowing to D'tan.
    Standing at attention for D'tan.
    Not being able to shoot D'tan.
    Not being able to viciously stab D'tan.
    Not being able to arrange for D'tan to die tragically in his sleep of natural causes.
    New Romulus and everything in on it... not even because of its relationship to D'tan, it's just a hideous planet.

    - People who constantly post about their bizarre violent fantasies involving characters that have maybe 3-5 pages of dialog total.

    - Unoriginal players in general (ship names, character names, white girl Orions, old memes like the disco ball, ect).

    - Public ERPers, including the ones who don't actually RP and just make creepy comments in Local all day. I don't care what you do behind closed doors, just take it somewhere that the rest of us don't have to see. Also: don't PM me. It is creepy.

    - Any variant of the Galaxy-Class that isn't the original or the Venture.

    - People who turn STFs into whinefests. If you are pugging, expect someone to TRIBBLE up the optional. That's just life.

    - Aux2Bat builds, but only because they are expensive, and I've never quite gotten my head around them.

    Skimpy questionably shaped Barbie squads in battlezones & everywhere else, pretty much. But at least it gives me & my friend good laugh... :D:D
    *shakes pom-poms*

    Give me a 'D'.
    Give me a 'R'.
    Give me a 'O'.
    Give me a 'Z'.
    Give me a 'A'.
    Give me a 'N'.
    Give me a 'A'.

    What does that spell?

    Conundrum.

    O.O

    Seriously, I have no problem with the whole Barbie squads.

    Live and let live.

    Sometimes I make people EW!, apparently. Especially when I'm playing Grunt, an Engineer who's all about doing damage, or my emergency backup Romulan, Tovan Khev (commander of the Tovan Khev V, so far - not much more play-time until he makes Rear Admiral and gets the Tovan Khev VI).

    :D

    Emergency backup Romulan?

    Does that mean your main avatar is accident prone?

    I couldn't care less about people who love Khev even if I tried. He's just not part of MY crew. =3

    If not, start talking about disco balls. It'll come really quick after that.

    There's no point. People won't deal with it, progress will be made, and life will go on.

    Unoriginal ship names ( although i did name my Defiant USS Valiant in honor of the original Defiant class Valiant)

    Drozana (puts steel helmet on and dives into the nearest trench)

    Inappropriate ship names, we've all seen them flying around at some point

      For me it has to be Zone chat and the Devidian missions on Drozana (they just creeped me out)

      I kinda liked that dancer in the black budgie smugglers on Nimbus III, although Tovan Khev in a sleeveless top is mildly alluring too.. :D
