The Borg on my ship were basically inherited when Jinx got the ship, or rather, when the Nightingale was designed and built. The reason behind this was because given all the Borg tech being used in the Nightngale's construction, and the fact that it was designed to be an anti-Borg vessel, it made sense to have crewmen with…

Nice entry Wraith :) This comment of yours is one of the greatest things about the LCs - Seeing your characters evolve as you keep writing. From a roleplayer perspective, it really lets you get to know your character, and often takes them in unusual directions.

I received my acceptance today, so I'll be joining the DFA Cromwell-B as an engineer sometime over the next week or so :) I've asked the Captain about introducing the Personal Transporter Buffer as a personal project, and we'll see what he says.
-
You know twg, if you don't have something useful to say, don't bother opening your mouth. Personally, I don't care about the EC from the 'grinder' missions, and would much prefer to see people playing story missions, but until we get a way to get a decent story mission neatly fitting into a 30 minute slot where people…

The effects aren't different colours, just the icon. And when you use it, it stops you shooting things, regenerates a prtion of your health depending on how many targets you've hit with it, and in STFs is useful against mobs of low end Borg up to, I believe, Tacticals. Heavies and Elites will still take damage, but they…

Not having any tattoos, I'm not sure how violently an artist shakes their bottle before starting, but from what you have said, I now have this image in my head of a Starfleet officer running from someone shooting at him, diving into cover, then removing his boot and furiously shaking it before pointing it out of cover and…

Mine was nothing special, just the new Jinx host leaving the transport shuttle that took him to one of the DFA stations, his first impressions, then deciding to get a drink before reporting for duty. So, what faction did you decide to join? And on the subject of uniforms, Jinx has little choice but to be relaxed about the…
-
Not a bad idea, although I'd not like to be wearing those shoes whiel having to run somewhere. You might accidently blow your foot off :D I'll be completely honest about my peice of tech - I stole it from the game Elite Force.
-
Heh, this is much the same reason I've gone for Joined Trill again. I've done a lot of research on the Trill background, so know them well. And playing a new host for an older symbiont I've been playing for a few years now means I already know the character well.
-
I was thinking about bringing over the Portable Transporter Buffer, since I love that piece of tech. I'm setting up my Badlands character as a transporter specialist engineer though, if I'm accepted, so hopefully I'll be able to develop it in game :)
-
Nice Marcus. Somewhat longer and more in depth than my application :)
-
Marcus, I just got round to reading your polished story, wth the epilogue. Superb. It almost brought a tear to my eye, lol. I do have to ask though... orbital skydiving? Have you been reading my background story? That is something I had Jinx do during the Academy holidays.
-
I was basically keeping them as seperate characters, so the STO timeline doesn't impact on the Badlands timeline, at least so far as my charcaters are concerned. Besides, Jinx has already met several unfortunate accidents, the accumulation of which means I could retire his current host at any time without a problem.…

Costumes... KDF have way too many costume options. We should nerf those too, while we're at it :P
-
I've just applied to join the DFA. My character choice was easy - the next host for the Jinx symbiont :) Also, I'd like to agree with Marcus... Love the uniforms and comm badges.
-
So, how do you get free lobi in game? I know about the 20 crystals spread out amongst the FE missions, but you guys are talking like there is another way to get free lobi without opening lockboxes. So, how do you do it?
-
Very nice. And it is interesting to see the same story from both points of view... My Jinx symbiont blowing up his MU counterpart because they have gone the way of the parasites, and your Trill Captain contemplating helping your MU counterpart because of the same thing. I could easily see Jinx and Draz working together on…
-
Agreed, and my loving those episodes has nothing to do with how TRIBBLE the girls looked in their mirror uniforms... honest :P
-
Wait, so they bound Lobi crystals to character instead of account because of 20 (total!!!) crystals you can collect for free in the game???
-
/Signed. The Magnificent Ferengi was a fantastic episode, as was One Little Ship, just for the lines: "Lock photon torpedoes on that Jem'hadar." "Target acquired." "Fire!" For the series, Enterprise, I'd have to agree with so many people here... In A Mirror, Darkly. Go Empress Hoshi!!!
-
Thanks for the review Brian. I've ben in and made a few changes based upon your recommendations, as well as a few given by others.
-
I can think of a few... Jinx meeting the 'prime' incarnation of mirror Jinx's host, unjoined, of course. Trill's reaction to what the mirror symbionts are doing. Jinx's quest to stop the mirror symbionts, and free the enslaved Trill population. Mirror universe Trill, their plans and goals, and how they proceed.
-
The reasoning behind (prime) Jinx being willing and ready to kill (mirror) Jinx is based very heavily on the history of a race called Parasites. What the mirror symbionts were doing is very similar to something that happened in the prime universe, which Trill pretty much swore would never happen again. It isn't entirely…

Everyone names them after famous Earth scientists. Why not look at some of Federation's other planets for famous scientists in Star Trek history and lore? U.S.S. Daystrom, for example.
-
Thanks Marcus. I didn't think too much of it. It was only a quick one while I was on lunch at work :)
-
Mine is another Trill-based entry. Since I've been writing my character background out, I've spent a fair bit of time reading up on Trill, it's inhabitants, and it's past. One thing that is never mentioned is how Trill developed in the mirror universe, so I started thinking about it. In the 'prime' universe, there is a…

"We're on our way, Admiral." Jinx signed off her communication with Admiral Quinn and walked through to the bridge. "Helm, set course for Trill, maximum warp. It seems the Symbiosis Commission wants to see me." "Aye, Sir." Three days later, the U.S.S. Nightingale dropped out of warp in a high orbit around the planet,…
-
I've made a few changes as people have recommended, and I think it will help. Thanks again guys.
-
Brilliant. Thanks for the review Brian. I'll take a look at it and see about some of those 'Continues' :)

Actually, checking the bundle, I don't think I have any of it... oops. The DS9 uniform I got from the Exchange, and I thought that was part of the bundle. I'm not bothered about the weapons or the runabout, or the other uniform items. I only want the Belfast bridge to complete my ship.
