    Probably be fire at will'd at, but I think it would be cool to be able to unlock it as a 10th Anniversary Ship (if not earlier to be able to use the free ship token with....)

    Looks fine to me. People easily forget that you can have drastically different interpretations of color with different monitors and monitor settings.

    Definitely true. And yet: https://www.strawpoll.me/18184388

    So is it the 80% whose monitors settings are off, or the 20%?
    Not a scientific poll so I won't waste time commenting on completely worthless numbers.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    I get all the ships I want and don't spend any money at all. If those people actually wanted the ship they could do it too.

    Congrats on finding the right magic formula.

    I find that the sort of people who like to moan will always find a reason to, even if it doesn't exist. I imagine that's what it is: Whiners glomming onto a new thing to complain about.

    Cryptic put in a ship backwards once before, it wouldn't surprise me if somehow they messed up the colors on the new thing.

    What a silly logically-fallacious statement. Everyone makes mistakes from time to time.

    If we legitimized every bit of doom-saying in these forums, we'd believe that the game was dying and that Cryptic was financially TRIBBLE their players, despite the reality that Cryptic has had their best financial and log-in metrics ever this year, as well as verifiably having the most generous F2P model in all of MMO gaming.

    Haters gonna hate. Lamers gonna lame. Whiners gonna whine.

    It's true that there are some people who only see bad and deny the good, just like there are some people who only see good and deny the bad. Both types of denial are unrealistic and actually harmful, since even good games have problems and denying it only prevents them from being fixed. But if someone who enjoys the game is reporting what they perceive to be a mistake, that certainly can't be dismissed as whining.

    What the absolute TRIBBLE are you going on about? I was saying yeah Cryptic makes mistakes from time to time and that that's probably what happened here, that they got a color wrong. You went off on a complete tangent for no reason at all.

    Honestly I just wish there was a little less color to it, can hardly see the spinners in the collectors :p

    I did not go off on a tangent for no reason. The default tone on this forum is bitching and moaning.

    If I mistakenly perceived you for being one of the crybabies, I do apologize.

    On the other hand, I don't think they got the color "wrong". I think the bussard collectors look red. In the show, they can be somewhere between orange and red. I think calling the in-game depiction is pink is laughable. It's a TRIBBLE game, there are limitations to accuracy in a game, especially in one that's nearly ten-years old. Some slack should be cut on such things IMO.

    I'm still pissed the Na'kuhl Agent uniform in the lobi store doesn't actually use or even have access to the real Na'kuhl colors.

    The color choice isn't really a limitation thing though, Cryptic could program in a new color if they wanted, they just went with whatever they chose because they presumably either, made a mistake, or didn't feel like making a new color.

    Part of the color issue is that the material properties do weird things to color at times so the same color on a different material usually looks different. They probably have a limited color palette to keep lag down too (you would be surprised how much of a bandwidth hog uncompressed colors can be).

    As for the DSC-Enterprise, I have no problem waiting for whatever they finally do with it since it is not something I am particularly interested in. I am a big fan of TOS (and to me the TOS Enterprise has value because of it), but not so much Discovery. DSC is an OK show and I do watch it occasionally when I am somewhere it is on (I do not have CBSAA myself), but is too shallow and generic to really make that much impression compared to the kind of game changing revolutionary show TOS was in its day.

    If the ship turns out to be affordable and easy to get I would probably get it for its passing resemblance to the TOS version but it is not a high priority (in fact, I would be more likely to get the Crossfield if given a choice of DSC ships since I do not have a science spearhead, and the trait looks interesting).

            I'm disappointed in both the release method and the seating, Promo + Miracle Worker + Command is three strikes of things I don't like. Thanks for saving me some money Cryptic.
