The article mentioned Futurama; would now be an appropriate time to ask for male characters to be able to wear skirts, especially the TOS Medical Miniskirt (but in red)? Otherwise, yeah, we'll probably get ST:D (seriously, that's an unfortunate abbreviation to have set themselves up for) at some point. Whether that's in…

Yes, someone would buy them, but I'm indifferent. The fact that Mirror ships were excluded from T5-U, and that they were T5-9 anyway, pretty much negates my interest in them other than as Admiralty Cards or... no, not even stopgap ships to use until I get something better, since we have a Summer Event running. Nah,…

A few comments and thoughts: Anything I can say about the queues directly would be based on console; my computer was old and I migrated there on my newer console. I can say that the queues there still show the number waiting, and it's still tough finding one close to popping, but the UI is decent enough where its actual…

Well, if you're lucky they'll modify the "exclusivity" kick they'd been on and allow running old Event Rep projects again so everyone has a chance to earn whatever they like... if they're willing to put in the effort. Of course, that's if you're lucky. Hell, I'd like that too, but it probably won't happen unless…
-
Heck, I wish there was a good equivalent KDFside for the same reasons; basically, same setup but add disabling the Starbase, and the mission ends right before the Federation version of SB24 begins. Like mmps1 said, though, probably just a UI bug.
-
Just a thought: Why not remove the energy weapon category restriction, making Fire at Will, Overload, Rapid Fire, and Scatter Volley work on all energy weapons like Surgical Strikes does? Doing that would mean we wouldn't need to tinker with Beam: Overload's mechanics directly, instead simply using beams and Rapid Fire,…

In theory, they are locking us out of farming a single queue and forcing us to rotate and play different ones. In practice, this means rotating a set of queues rather than a single queue. Basically, this leads to the equivalent of crop rotation to improve productivity, since Dilithium refinement and Reputation progress are…
-
Personally, I'd want the Phoenix Upgrade Tech over pretty much everything else, since the rest are not the account unlocks an Event Run would be; that really cuts back on their utility. Just remember to buy while you can if you really want any of the stuff here, since they are only available until Tuesday, April 25th at…
-
Oddly, that's what I was thinking at first... but that's the wrong uniform for the era. :tongue:
-
Double-check the in-game Calendar, but I'm pretty sure you could (with a couple days to spare) manage to unlock it now. Now if you're getting a PC/console for Christmas and starting the Winter Event at that time... no joy.
-
Side note: The Scimitar series of ships, both in T5 and in T6, are considered Fleet-equivalent; you have no need to purchase a Fleet version. This generally applies to 3x Faction/9x Cross Faction Multi-Pack, Event, Lobi, Lock Box, and Promotion ships.
-
Heh, I'd rather they brought auto-activation over from console; that would clear out rotations of EP2x powers and the like, allowing for the current trays to be devoted to things I actually want to click on. :wink: For the record, I generally hide the BOff stations and use 3x10 horizontal + 10x2 vertical trays to keep all…
-
Currently, it could be Crafted/Lock Box Omni + Mission Omni + KCB (though, as mentioned, not technically an Omni Beam Array since it doesn't benefit from the beam stuff). Previously, there was a bug that allowed 2x Ancient Omni Arrays (the only Mission Omni at the time, with one Upgraded and one left at Mk Infinity). It…
-
If you have it, could you tell me if it removes the knock from Overwhelming Force's version of Photonic Shockwave and/or other related effects such as Photonic Aftershocks?
-
It kind of is, but it's also not wrong. Remember the Breen stance on timey-wimey shenanigans is not exactly favorable... at least as far as the interactions in "Time and Tide" indicate. It makes sense that the Breen would be more inclined to using pretty much any of the other Specializations before resorting to such (in…
-
Yeah, that'd be nice. The Snowball Fight was my favorite part of the Winter Event (okay, maybe second favorite, after getting a cool Breen ship); I really enjoyed the cross-Zone teamwork, with scouting and calls for assistance helping bring players together.
-
Short version: The only difference between Professions (in Space combat) is the Captain Abilities and Traits* Tactical grants abilities that buff damage output, stack freely, and can improve cooldowns. * Science grants the best buff removal ability available, along with a variety of buffs/debuffs and a summon ability to…
-
I missed that one... who made the suggestion to "flag my items as unsellable after I sell them."? That's... not really the order in which such things work.
-
You missed the "we could flag items for sellable or not." portion of that quote, and for some reason filled it in with "everything is always bound and nothing is sellable or tradable." Some games actually allow the former, making it easier to decide what you want to hang on to and helping to avoid misclicks without…
-
Does Delphic Shockwave remove the Repel effect from the Photonic Shockwave generated by Overwhelming Force, and have you tried it with Photonic Aftershocks? I was hoping that would be the case, but they usually restrict these things to "activated abilities". That in turn leaves Overwhelming Force procs (despite being…
-
Hmmm, yeah, I guess it is more oval-ish. I suppose it's more like a flying compact (for makeup, depending on the brand) than a Tostito. Nice work on the Doritos bag, btw.
-
From a PvP perspective, STO had balance issues, then Delta Rising increased difficulty by increasing NPC hitpoints, which shifted the PvE balance point for damage output, then we continued the power creep well beyond that point, all the while leaving player hitpoints as they were. We now have two separate balance points,…
-
I think there are actually plans for that. They will likely offer it for a limited time once the Mac client is fixed up, listed under "iWin" in the store. :innocent: Otherwise... yeah, Tractor Beam can be a pain if you don't know the counters, but there are a lot of counters.* Any disable, placate, confuse, or Aux Offline…
-
To be fair, in my country they make tortilla chips as both triangles and rounds. I'm not artistic enough to make "Tostitos: Lukari Rounds" or somesuch, though in thinking of it... a lot of our food is round. Hmph. I guess Starfleet ship design must've been secretly influenced by Taco Bell (because in the future, all…

...only to be found occupied by Ferengi, using reprogrammed Holo Leetas to tend crops and capture Khellids for Quark Enterprises to resell as pets. Incidentally, all pet Khellids obtained recently have been named "Dabo!"

I didn't log in during the 48 hr window (some people claim that there's a woman to blame, but I know... it's my own damn fault), but thank you for providing a solution for most of those that lost access to the code as a result of others' misdeeds. Your efforts are appreciated, at least as much as the items themselves.
-
I vote Charlie, because: It will be a timeship, and Something will go wrong with the fancy new Lukari warp drive. This malfunction will hurl the vessel through space and time, ultimately leading it to crash on a Class M planet populated by a primitive, pre-warp species. A subset of this species will recover the vessel, and…

See post quoted at the top of the page. TL;DR version: The code was turned off, we don't get the items, because some folks got too many of them.
-
From a General Discussion thread on the subject: Others exploited the code, so we lost access to the promo.
-
Well, that's incredibly disappointing. Maybe next time just put it in the Promotions tab for everyone and not bother with a code? Also, @midniteshadow7, are the folks that exploited it being banhammered, or are they getting rewarded with freebies while we get punished for their exploit?
