You didn't volunteer. As we said in the military, you got voluntold.
And now you have a new master, with all the fun programming to overhaul you. Consent is not required of the TDO. It's gonna happen.
You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
Welcome to the 25th Century, where seemingly EVERY time traveler ends up. It's like Grand Central Time Station here...
You are stuck here. This is your new identity. Learn it backwards and forward. If you don't, we will make you.
Keep your mouth shut about who you are and where you're from. If you don't, we will make you.
Don't muck with the time line unnecessarily. If you try, you will regret it.
Sensing a pattern here?
In conclusion, just pretend none of this ever happened and you're good.
Oh, and have fun.
X's and O's,
Your Temporal Overlords
Things I want in STO:
1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!
In-universe, there's only one time traveler, and it's you, the player.
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

That's not true... Kirk was up and down the time stream like catching a bus to work.

...and Daniels. And Crey. And Chekhov. And Scotty. And Noye. And Kal Dano. And a whole lot more.

> For a moment I hoped there'd be some kind of explanation for potentially returning to the AoD era...
This has got me thinking too. If new dsc eps are getting retconned in between Secrets and Downfall then there has to be some explanation for toons who've already been time-napped. New arrivals can play on through, but for the rest of us, it's holodeck central - again. What there is is good as far as it goes, bugs notwithstanding, but it was released way too soon. They should have waited til they had enough missions that we'd not need the time yo-yo.
Maybe if they needed to get it out, an encounter with the Guardian of Forever and some missions in the TOS era (revamped contend I guess) just to make up content til the next batch were ready.
As it is we're all going to be heading back to the beginning and hoping we don't meet ourselves coming the other way. Or is that too close to Butterfly and Spectres/Temporal Ambassador?
UPDATE: relogged on my AoD character and was able to do lore, but still feel it was rushed.
> great info except AoD toons can't do the lore on STA, what was the point of doing this season if there more are bugs with Aod characters than any other playable character before. would have been more happy if cryptic had taken a bit longer to test things for this season. this is the first time I felt a season was rushed.
Can they not? Admittedly I've not tried, but maybe I should now. Have you bug-repped it yet?
Would be nice if there was something unique for standard federation and klingon captains where they could be special in a way that all these temporal agents are.
a direct reference from the blog.
It means daniels and his efforts, heck even the temporal accords he is out to protect are in violation of its own founding principles since it is attempting to stablise the timeline by adding additional instability into the timeline.
the temporal cold war is about competing faction in time that seek to destroy certain events in history for their own advantage while the other seeks to clean it all up. the whole thing is a massive additional instability... and it has goals and intentions.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Here's a map to show how much they've screwed up the game map.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
> It should go without saying that excessive use of temporal manipulation in this regard is a direct violation of the principles upon which Temporal Investigations has been founded. One cannot improve the stability of the timestreams by adding additional instability into the mix. Regardless of the intention or goal, the ends rarely (if ever) justify the means.

Sounds like Soran was right... "Time is the fire in which we all burn."

Klingons are our friends
Romulans are our friends
Borg are robot zombies
Also we have space bugs
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
The Captains table is not viable to be that headquarters being a lifetime subscription perk.
We have been asking the DEVs to put this content in-game for years now without any response. It's true; it would make a better game experience if they did.
Go to Sol/Qo'noS>Go to ESD/FC
compared to:
Go to Sol/Qo'noS>Go to Aenigma Nebula>Go to Captain's Table
Additionally, when you warp into Sol or Qo'noS, the entrance to the nebula is BEHIND you, so it's not exactly going to catch people's attention.
All things considered, it's easier and more convenient to go to ESD/FC.
On top of all that, the idea of the Captain's Table (cross faction social zone with all the amenities of ESD/FC) is already freely accessible by everyone in-game: Deep Spsce 9.
Basically, there's nothing really special about the Captain's Table to make it worth going to, especially when you have to take extra time to turn around and add a map jump.
No, if they want to make the Captain's Table a viable option for LTS, they should consider some or all of the below as well as others.:
1) Instead of the visible nebula waiting in the faction systems that we have to fly to, make the Aenigma Nebula a Transwarp location.
2) A functional holodeck with a selection of combat scenarios for fun (no actual rewards... just the thrill of combat/blowing off steam).
3) Special items, like the ability to buy gear higher than white quality.
