    Besides the snowballs, im tired of seeing disco balls in Risa. I wonder why these stupid items will removed for good, seriously. And snowballs on Risa?? seriously?? wat can u expect from a game made for kids lol.

    When will they be removed from the game? Considering they added in Doffs that give bonuses to disco ball dancing? Never.

    And Q-created Never Melting Snowballs on a summer resort makes sense. Since it's Q. I could use some of those at my job in Walmart's Gardening Center. It'd make the weather bearable at least.

    Right, so we could use virtually ANY thing everywhere. We could argue that it is made by Q. Snow is snow, it doesnt matter if it is q made or not.

    And i didnt know about the doffs thing.. unbelievable lol. Another reason to keep thinking on migrating to another game..

    UTC Time is off :)

    1400 UTC (but I am in CET and cut off at 1500 UTC)
    so the end of UTC will be 1730 instead of 1630 (otherwise CET will be back in the game at 1730)

    UTC is +8 for PST and CET is +9

    Q can do and make more or less whatever he jolly well likes lol, you're barely a grain of sand in one tiny instance of time to him :P

    All these items are good fun, if you don't like them then you really need to lighten up :rolleyes:

    Them not being able to be used on Risa was one of the top features.
    Unintentional or not, but it was one of the top features. They were lame when they came out and are have been promoted to beyond lame since.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Romulan Republic Powerboards have been added for Romulan Captains.

    If players have already purchased their faction specific Powerboard, they may be traded in for free for the Romulan version at the vendor.
    Romulan captains will going forward be able to purchase both the Romulan Republic Powerboard and their chosen faction’s Powerboard.

    Romulan sand monuments display a Romulan symbol instead of the Klingon symbol.

    For these things, I thank you most heartily and sincerely.

    I did finally cave and buy a Lavender Highliner, because I used the Rental a few times just to try it out and it came to the point that I didn't want to miss out on the fun any longer, although I never gave up hope on the Romulan Republic board being added in. As my inventory/bank space is still under strain (even with the increases), I wish I could trade this in and give the extra 50 Lohlunat Favors to get the Romulan Republic Superior Powerboard. But I guess I can live with it. :\
    Party Poppers, Subspace Party Amplifiers, Unmelting Snowballs, and Breen Biothermal Dampeners can now be used on Risa.
    Resolved an issue that was occasionally causing Risa swimsuits to appear on maps other than Risa.

    For these things, I am not thanking you.

    The one map in the game where you will permit us to wear swimwear is now open to griefing from those who have made plain that they can't even tolerate the TOS miniskirts, much less the TOS Mirror uniform? What in Areinnye motivated this decision?

    So Starfleet Command may be a bunch of uptight neurotics who can't handle seeing their personnel, whether on- or off-duty, wearing a swimsuit anywhere other than Risa. What does that have to do with the Orion Syndicate (the true power behind the Klingon Empire) or the New Romulan Republic (a government whose people have, since their first appearance in TOS, been characterized as "passionate")? What does it hurt, seriously? At the very least, swimsuits should be available for use also on Drozana Station, Ganalda Space Station, Fleet Holding zones, and starship/shuttle interiors, as well as Foundry maps (and, frankly, the balcony of New Romulus Star Command, the Bar in the First City, and the Clubs on ESD and at Starfleet Academy are places where Starfleet Command either has no authority or ought to recognize as places where their personnel are more likely to go when they are off-duty -- speaking of which, we would like to have our own Nightclub at New Romulus Star Command, along with the several other things I enumerated in one of my previous tickets and have, along with a rather large number of other Romulan players, requested in multiple forum threads).

    I guess I'm going to have to send another ticket about the Disco Balls and Unmelting Snowballs being used to harass those doing the Nerve Tonic Dance, because, despite the claims that the Disco Ball does not prevent anyone from doing anything they were doing before it was launched, anyone doing the Nerve Tonic Dance within range of the Disco Ball immediately stops doing the dance they wish to do and are forced into the dance mix which the Disco Ball effects, and can be knocked down by the Unmelting Snowballs, thus also giving the pseudo-puritan griefers exactly what they want (which is to say, it also stops that dance). I'm sure I'm not the only one to report this harassment (being followed around and pelted with Unmelting Snowballs and/or having the Dancing Griefer Ball launched at me each time I start the Nerve Tonic Dance by one or two members of a certain fleet or group of fleets with similar practices). If it were not for this facilitating of harassment, I wouldn't have any issues with either the Disco Balls or the Unmelting Snowballs. This is Star Trek, not the simplistic Bifurcation Fallacy which was the original Dragnet, nor the lunatic fringe group "Equality Now!" which has contributed to the misapprehension of what Feminism is and is about, nor some playground for reactionary religious fanatics who can't grasp the simple concepts that (a) not everything is about them and (b) no-one has to coddle them and (c) only those who elect to do so are to be expected to submit to their self-righteous busybodyism -- nor is it a place where sociopaths should be allowed to roam free and torment others with impunity (much less given more and more tools and opportunities to do so).

    Funny i don't feel like it's terminated.

    And you're still wrong, on both counts.

    Lets see if i can simplify this for you.

    GMT is what we base our clocks on, worldwide in-fact.

    In March the clocks go forward, moving us into British Summer Time, which is GMT+1.(by us I mean the British)

    GMT is set in Greenwich, which is why it's called GMT, Greenwich Mean Time

    UTC is Universal Time Code, this is the same as GMT but set somewhere else, France I think.

    UTC and GMT never change.
    In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4]

    This seems to pretty well describe your actions.

    No fun police. Geez, can't we do something fun on a pleasure planet? Didn't you have parties when you were young? Can't adults be kids again?

    Also, you previously said that this game was marketed to kids. People being vaporized with huge weaponry is not my definition of a kids game.

    What about the bug that some KDF chars (or all of them?) cannot see their floater, while wearing swimwear/ off duty clothing?

    That depends on what swimwear you're wearing. The X back of the String Bikini, for example, would be hidden by the Floater, whereas the Tie Waist suit has no such detail to be concealed by the Floater. I can't speak to any off-duty wear not showing the Floater, because I haven't noticed it.

    Kind of sad to see the bathing suit fix be put in. I have to admit it was pretty funny seeing people running around in bathing suits on Defera while killing borg.

    At least they didn't get rid of the borg that think they are Michael Jordan.

    One more thing... I would truly love to be able to wear the risan beachcomber shorts with my bathing suit. Thank you!

    I'd like to go the other way- wear my guys' Beachcomber/Explorer shirts with their swim trunks to get around the utter lameness of both outfits being the same on males while for females one has pants rolled to the knee and the other has shorts.

    Pretty sure when you open the box doesn't affect how many you get from it, but rather, when you get the box affects how many you get from it.

    I could be wrong, but my experience suggests otherwise.
