Sorry about your technical issue, but it was fun, i wanted that for soooo long on STO...
Hmm. I'm not particularly stunning at ground (never done a ground TFO, the 'end bosses' of previous episodes usually eat my face), but I only died once on the ground for this one (pesky science captains and their sniper rifles...). And my boffs stayed up, too.
Yeah, the twist at the end was amusing. We're doomed!
Yeah, hate waves and waves of enemies.. this one was the right balance...
Had to repair the Exocomp once, cleared out all the enemies once I got all the data...
There's a bug report on it already. Some people reported waiting a while, others reported going all the way back to a certain set of doors cleared it...
Might have to try tomorrow. But from what I saw... very well done.
Though its presence is also funny because it shows how ridiculously tiny the Type-8 Shuttles are.
Though, you mentioned exocomps talking like in LDS, but I haven't seen this outside of Legume Creel. The exocomp Doffs got a remodel of their portraits, but the quotes are still the same robotic "This unit <insert something here>".
I think its in reference to when they talk in the new TFO at the very least.
Also, I'm kinda disappointed with Mirror!Kuumaarke's voice. I was hoping to hear the same innocent/cute-like tone of the Prime one to contrast with the sadistic, cruel persona.
I know some may find this a ridiculous combination, but there is a reason "Cute and Psycho" is a trope.
Overall, I liked the episode, though I still felt I got railroaded in letting Leeta help me and not letting me retort to her condescending snark.
Also, the
I guess they too suffered the "can't interact when hit" game mechanic.
I got almost to the end and an enemy was stuck in a wall that prevented me from progressing. I beamed out and guess what?
The mission has no checkpoints.. YAY!
So it started me at the beginning and I logged out.
Typical buggy TRIBBLE - 1/10.
I went in with one of my Tac captains - the only one with which I completed all the story arcs, because I seriously cannot stomach doing the J'ula TRIBBLE ever again - and I can say I had absolutely no problem? Then again, I had absolutely no problem with the previous "story" either, so I might just have been lucky.
I did crash as soon as the episode started, though, and before going back in game I switched to one of the EU proxy because it was extremely laggy... might that be a factor as well, assuming you were lagging?
All in all, this episode did two things "right":
- the interiors looks nice;
- there's no infinite wave mechanic.
Everything else is just added fluff... and quite unimaginative, too, as it's just another "oh no, a big baddie wants to kill us all". Even the "twist" at the end that I've seen so many people be happy about is quite underwhelming - especially if you play it as a Klingon, (spoilers: don't. It's just another case of the game thinking you're playing as Fed because everything else is utterly inconceivable).
They could've done something different to finally, finally!, close Leeta's arc. But I suppose that was asking for too much.
Haven't tried the new STF yet. And I have absolutely no interest in doing so.
Ci sono tre tipi di giocatori:
- quelli a cui non va mai bene niente... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
- quelli che sono talmente imbesuiti da credere a qualunque cosa i dev dicano, perfino che la luna è fatta di formaggio... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
- quelli che credono a quello a cui è giusto credere, sono d'accordo con quello con cui è giusto essere d'accordo e sono critici con quello che non va;
Ai giocatori dei primi due tipi, gratis in omaggio un bello specchio lucente su cui arrampicarsi. E una mazzata in testa per la loro poca intelligenza e compassione verso gli altri giocatori che non la pensano come loro.
Agli appartenenti al terzo tipo, invece, dico grazie. Anche se non sempre si riesce a mantenere la calma, siete quelli per cui vale la pena incazzarsi.
You got laggy too?, i was thinking it was me!!.. ok, now i know, thanks!
Well...

- maps are really nice
- the new leeta is really well done, and more accurate.
- game mechanics interesting but already seen in other missions: dust to dust for the environmental hazard, the mission with scotty and chekov for the exocomp part etc
not disagreeable, but everything was already seen in other missions.
I did it with 1 of my eng, and the terrans were no match at all, killed in a couple of seconds.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the upgrade of my seeker drone. the new exocomp model is really nice and cool.

-our counterpart is the only Mirror officer having some kind of device on their neck. Which suggests 2 possibilities:
--it's a resurrection device to make them unable to stay dead and could probably be used for the inevitable boss fight. The Mirror database mentions a "Project Pharoah (sic)", which could be "Pharaoh", which are often represented as seeking immortality and resurrection, so it could be a field test for the Emperor
--it's a mind-control device and with the DSC Captain's centuries-old death, this is in fact NOT technically our Mirror counterpart but a brainwashed Quantum duplicate from the Prime universe
As a third, more farfetched possibility, it is a future version of our Captain and one goal of the arc will be to break the time loop where we inevitably get captured and turned.
