Say something positive about Delta Rising

I'm in a good mood because I managed to find a new job within days of losing my last one, and I'd like to spread the warm fuzzies around.
The music for Delta Rising is awesome, and "Revelations" was an excellent "war movie"-style mission. It reminded me favorably of a side mission from Mass Effect 3 where you have to reactivate a krogan surface-to-orbit gun, and seeing Voth mechs lay into somebody besides me was quite fun.

but I really do like the new captain skill tree. It will be this time next year before I have it fully unlocked, but even the few skills I do have already are awesome.

Yeah, that's it.
DR has it's good bits, I've enjoyed the content up to now though I don't intend to replay any of it. Mindscape was quite trippy, I liked that one.
The forums of course have also been quite entertaining.
(Note: I do not play any FPS games, so I am not trying to compare the ground combat to Call of a Duty or anything like that. It was, however, the first time I got a *really* intense ground combat experience like that, and I think the dev blog on designing the Vaadwaur suggests the "WWII" feel from the artists and designers of their tactics was intentional. I must therefore cite this as a job well done and a good "working as intended" by the devs. Whatever else is wrong, in that objective they knocked it out of the park as far as I am concerned)

Congrats on the new job! I am about to lose the one I have (mixed feelings about that), but I will say DR has good voiceover work, and since it came out it's helped me rediscover my backlog of games on Steam
Cryptic: If you think the bugs are bad, wait until you see our fixes!
Ohwait, that's not DR. Nevermind then.

If so--and I have not seen Club 47 yet--it might be consistent with canon to see some TRIBBLE club elements.

-> not sure for what ... but it can't be more worthless than upgrading gear for nothing ...
Getting The Doctor for my away team made my month.

/just doing as I'm told.
Just say it. No need to write it down. :P
The attempt to bring some difficulty to PVE was appreciated, too. Shame it seems to have backfired entirely. I can't say I agree with the failure conditions, IMO one of the great things about most of the old Elite queues was being unable to fail, no matter how bad your team, if you worked hard enough.
I actually like the slower leveling pacing, but there's not enough new content to hit the max level on Normal, which was a bad move for existing level 50 characters. I can only see it being a good thing for new characters, although I don't think they touched the 1-50 curve at all (a shame, it'd be nice to actually use each starship for more than a handful of missions).
Possibly. We might get less sarcasm that way. :mad:

My favourite part of Delta Rising was the idea behind it. The execution is the part that is lacking.
Having so many actors come back for voice work was really great, and I enjoyed the new storyline of DR.
(I hope this is a trend, and in the future there could be a DS9 storyline with cast, and a TNG storyline with cast.)
(With my work and kids, I'm now much more of a casual player, only getting an hour or two a day if I'm lucky, and there is always so much to do, I haven't had as much time to dwell about the queue and STF changes....)

1. the Gorn negotiating a cease fire agreement with the Voth, free up valuable resources for the Empire.
2. The inclusion of the Vaadwuar into the Empire, and their outstanding performance as Military Governors for the Empire of conquered planets in the delta quadrant.
3. The Iconian virus given to the Vaadwuar that killed off all the Kobali then was later modified by Imperial scientists to kill all Vulcans and Romulans once and for all.
4. Finding a species that was so lowly that even the borg did not want them. to be cannon fodder of the mighty Klingon Empire. making them the perfect raiders of Borg installations for high tech Borg equipment. under the command of Klingon warriors of course.( mostly to ensure they didn't monkey with the tech and end up fused into the bulkheads).
5. forming a non aggression treaty with 8472 with them providing an officer exchange program and advanced anti Borg weapon technology in exchange for information of combating the bio-neural weaponry created to defeat them. and some of the Borg tech that our new raiding parties have acquired.
6. With all the Resources freed up from the needless conflicts that were brought on by the federation meddling into others affairs we have been able to reestablish the Klingon Empire as the Dominate force in the Beta and Alpha Quadrants.
7. the Formation of a new colony world on Khitomer.
8. locating the Klingon crew that was marooned in the delta Quadrant by the crew of Voyager and reintegrating them into the Empire Giving the Empire a Klingon Controlled Home world in the delta Quadrant for an advanced base.
9. the new T6 Klingon science ship
10. the new T6 BoP
11. the new Dahar master long coat
12. the new Klingon melee weapons
13. the fixing of Klingon tailor
14. the shoot on sight order for any and all Talaxians found outside of the delta quadrant.
15. the new story line that has us allied with the federation upto the point where we find out the Kabali are using Vaadwuar Hostages a population resource. then breaks away completely allowing us a unique story experience apart from the federation if we so choose. other wise allowing the people to continue with the federation story line.
yeah that about sums it all up love it all but they could have dropped 1-7 and 14 and i would still be a Happy Klingon .
Something Positive?
Delta Rising proved to me that Cryptic have no idea what I would like from this game; even if I keep hinting (and in some cases outright saying) what I'd like to see.
PS: I have spent no money since DR launched.
