What is this "shiny" thing?

  • *Bump* and... With the advent of the Jem'Hadar as a playable race(s), and the introduction of a new uniform that everyone can wear... Will our Jem'Hadar BOffs now have customisation options? #HopeSpringsEternal
  • Well, not sure what the Alpha or Omega designs have in common with existing federation designs and I don't like either, but prefer Omega to Alpha. Truth be told, Epsilon and Sigma at least have something of the binary hull that people associate with Starfleet and are reminiscent of previous designs, but Alpha and Omega…
  • Lol. You have either never tried running around an open area after small furry critters, like rabbits, guinea pigs or cats, or think it's funny to watch other people do just that... There's certainly nothing peaceful or relaxing about it and the air could hardly be considered fresh; at least, not when filled by the kind of…
  • Well, I'll admit. A lot of the recent ship art has felt wanting, they (especially the romulan vessels) have looked too 'cartooney' or 'graphicy,' over-stylized and too far off the IP as a result, IMHO, but the pictures for this release look, well... Quite frankly, they all look great and, I don't remember the last time I…
  • Wow. Well, that TotW was all nice, happy, dancing, singing daisies and sunflowers... In all seriousness, this is STO dealing with the issues and concepts that Star Trek does best. I love these little bits of blurb and 'behind the veil' stories, and this one actually moved me. Actually surprised by that, though maybe I…
  • "Features space and ground combat on a massive scale." Ah, so I'm likely to have latency and lag issues aplenty. *sigh* My poor, poor graphics card.
  • Eh... Those traits look fantabulous and I would love to get my hands on that Astrometrics Scientist! But then, these will probably be pipe dreams as I never get anything useful to the character I open any box on... not so bad with the Lock Boxes, as I can transfer them to other characters (which means I normally get…
  • Strangely I was talking about difficulties with a friend last night... What I understand of the process is that the change will be good. Currently there are a few queues that are too easy to fail on less progressed toons, especially when pugging. I think a bigger problem now though is that there are too many queues. I…
  • Gods! This forum desperately needs a 'Like this post' button... Posts 2 through 9 though! More content on Q'onos is great. I'd say it was more enticing than an Orion doing a striptease in a Bloodwine bath, but no, I'm NOT hoping for an art and layout revamp on First City. To be fair, I'm happy if we do get one, but I'm…
  • It's all about the metrics. But does this inherently make the Delta Recruitment scheme a bad thing? No. Metrics is how PWE and most other companies measure interest. The more activity the better for STO, because more activity means more PWE resources focused on it, just like more money spent on STO leads to more investment…
  • You, sir, just won an internet. Thank you.
  • Oh god... I can see it now... borgali Kim and borgali Ballard, freed by the Hugh and waging war against... well, everyone, probably... This will end badly!
  • Oh Gods! Snow-Borg? I actually fell off my command chair laughing and now my crew are looking at me askance, but I dare not show them the message or we'll never get any work done around here. The Talaxians were a bad enough distraction from real work as it is and the Y'Kun III needs a major service after that last fight…
  • OOOOOH! Free stuffs? :eek: I wonder, was #DetlaRising a bad spelling of #DeltaRising? Or is #DetlaRising the in-progress name for #ExpansionThree? :rolleyes: I think Smirk should stay away from the coffee for a while... let his fingers and brain work together for a change. ;) And yes, I know, you corrected it already!…
  • Point of note, according to the Collins Pocket English Dictionary (1993)* the word "Optional" means "Possible but not compulsory." I.e. You don't have to do them. The Normal difficulty optional objectives do NOT need completing in Normal, the new optional objectives at Advanced do NOT need completing at Advanced and the…
  • Unfortunately, no, my install still entirely fails/refuses to accept/respond to the /renderscale command, but I have some new tools for making screenshots at my standard res, so hey, thanks for that at least! :cool:
  • Well, I'm having a problem with getting my renderscale to change, as in, it won't. i've trawled the forums and google, but none of the suggestions seem to have any effect. As such, no entry for me, but I second this one: This one gets my vote!
  • Okay, this looks, interesting. I agree that an opportunity may have been missed, but not saying they've edited power suites is not the same as having not edited power suites. TBH, I'm optimistic about this in general. That being said, Raiders are still too fragile in STF's compared to other queues. I have no issue taking…
  • OH MY GODS YES! The Faeht Warbird is one hell of a sexy beast and the Scryer isn't bad either, even if it doesn't have Sensor Analysis (so hoping this was a clerical error).
  • :cool: This post has been edited to remove content which violates the Perfect World Entertainment Community Rules and Policies. ~Askray
  • I'll either be a mission reward, like the gas masks, or an in-mission pickup, like the fire extinguishers and torch drones. I'm hoping for the latter. means I can kit ALL my BOffs with them. #ArsenalofAnnoyance Meh, If Section 31 has a hand in anything (and I'd be very surprised to not see Drake turn up somewhere) probably…
  • Damn, I am simultaneously suffering from intense anticipation and intense trepidation for the Silver Account block to be removed. I do have questions about what has been posted so far, however. Most importantly to me, are the lower tiered versions of the queues going to reward special items, such as Neural Processors and…
  • Tribble is closed for now; For Now! Can people not read? Gold/Lifers are getting an advanced look at stuff, but it's likely the "still dodgy as all hell" stuff and, if you'd read the post properly, Tribble will open up to the rest of us again in a few weeks. Two/three weeks and we'll have access to the stuff that's already…
  • Really, people are crying over a couple of weeks? It will only be a couple of weeks till the rest of us can get on Tribble, and a couple of weeks will have bugger (pun intended) all effect on the long-term bug-hunting. Yes, there's a lot of stuff coming, but then, Al already told us that the new story stuff was NOT going…
  • Okay, so, I saw the number of posts and skipped... a few. Sorry, but I have a life outside of STO and intend to use it, not spend the rest of it reading each and every post. So yeah, sorry to everyone whose posts I've just skipped. I agree with OP that Fed Cruisers need an edge; every other ship has one, but the core…
  • Oh dear. Well what can be said about this minor travesty. 1- Crafting needed to be overhauled, but not because the mechanics were bad (well, they weren't the worst I've seen). Crafting needed a revamp to open up ALL items to be craftable and with Mods of the crafter's choice. Okay, so pretty much everything can be crafted…
  • Quite frankly, there's no way the new system can be as bad as the old system. The items you can make in it are a hap-hazard hodgepodge at best; the list looks like a five year old threw darts at a list on the wall. I would expect (if i weren't a pessimist) that all the old items (like Aegis) will all be available and…
  • :( I think the community may be over-ruling that! The background is far preferable to the 3d; Taco, please convince your lead it was a mistake to revert. Otherwise I love everything. Okay, I have a few little niggles, but it's not the finished article yet. I've taken the decision not to go back to Tribble now until full…
  • Okay, my primary character is UFP (but only because he's a Fleet Master) and my favourite is KDF (I really do love my Ferasan, the best purchase I've made in this game), but my second favourite character is my first Romulan, so this is something I care about. In fact, I love all my Romulan characters, the more because they…
