I've made the connection because those names don't get filtered, but innocent ones do. And I dare say this one does fall into the ridiculous (and offensive) category.

I was making a moral, not a legal point.

Flaming and political comments moderated out. - BMR

I'm relieved it's a general issue and not something to do with my computer or connection. I'm sure it'll be sorted soon. There's no events going on right now, so it's no big deal, right? Relax and play something else for a while. No system is so perfect that it'll never have any down time.

I have little hope of the next series being any better... if it's not based on the reboot it might be. I'm just not that thirsty for Trek that I'll drink anything, if you know what I mean.
-
Two things in response to artan42 and those who believe that people like me are resisting change because they fear change... a) just because something says it's a Consitution doesn't mean that it is. False advertising and labelling is as old as humanity itself. It's like making a sugary-sweet breakfast cereal and labelling…

We do not have an endgame Constitution. We have a ship that from some angles looks remotely like a Constitution but which completely falls through upon closer inspection. To some of us, these ships are just ugly. To most of us, they symbolise a radically wrong direction the franchise has taken. Abrams Trek is divisive, and…

It's not immersion I'm worried about. The occasional lock box ship (with the possible exception of 8472 and temporal vessels) can be explained away as a prize taken in one battle or another, if you're worried about roleplay explanation. This is, and people may or may not agree with me, a matter of what does and doesn't…

My idea is not to ask for something to be removed, just an option for players to not have to deal with certain aspects without changing the game for those who wish for this content / don't mind it being there. I'm a purist in the sense that I wouldn't want elements from Battlestar Galactica or Firefly or Star Wars in STO…

It's not like I'm asking for a nude mod or anything... but I think leaving an STF is a bit drastic, and I'm fairly certain it won't be effective.

This episode started out well enough. A bit of talking about the situation to give everyone a heads-up on where the story stands is always welcome. It's much better to have this in a featured episode than in the queues (where cinematics and voiceovers tend to get on everybody's nerves after about the third playthrough).…

I was going off the release notes which I read the other day. Since I was unable to play yesterday because the server was down while I had time to be on-line, I figured I'd spend some time thinking about what the system that was announced would turn out to be. My conclusion is that it would be better for everybody…

ECs are easy to get as it is. It was easier before the developers reduced the item value of some previously expensive objects (especially engines, shields, deflectors, power cores) shortly after the droprate had increased significantly (see 'foundry farm'). The result was that prices on the exchange (for items worth…

This is the best one can do these days? Oh well, I guess there goes the idea of getting several different character builds all up to competitive standards, and then to play them depending on mood.
-
It would be that much easier to add a condition that the effect is weaker against other players, and keep both the PvE and PvP crowd happy. Seriously, how hard can that be?
-
So in other words, it's merely unfortunate wording in the release notes. Also, I agree they completely screwed up all the transwarps, especially the no-cooldown mission transwarps which used to be great for getting around (return to Drozana from anywhere for only 500ECs, best transwarp option ever) - now they're all 20k+,…
-
You're explaining how the doff system works. That's not what I asked, though. The patch notes suggest a relationship between doffs and the lore accolades, and that seems odd. Also, thank you luncho80 for clearing up that part of the question. I should've known that if it's something I'd never heard of, it had to do with…

It's a step in the right direction but it's going to be a long time until trolling can be effectively stopped. I'd rather have everyone in the game run around in swimwear, though - that's something that wouldn't have needed 'fixing' - whoever sets those priorities... *shakes head*
-
I think correlating inflation with master key prices is the wrong approach. This is merely one commodity which not even close to all players want / need. There are already huge energy credit sinks in the game, they're called the fleet projects. For some upgrades, it costs ten to fifteen million energy credits tu buy the…

Now all we need to make the game's social areas truly social again is a deactivation of kit powers, fire extinguishers, party poppers and other annoying troll tools. This is a first step in the right direction. I hope it'll not only override the dancing animation (the least annoying part of the disco ball) but also what…

Thank you. I dislike change for the sake of change. I hope transferring everything to that infernal arc system actually has some advantages, rather than just making stuff more difficult on everyone...
-
I only ever went to the sto website if I wanted to know what was changed with the latest patch. Now that the site has migrated I can't find the patch notes. Where did they get moved to?

If you use a private chat channel there's no chance you can attract other people to the RP in the hopes of expanding the player base. The problem with reporting the trolls is that I have never seen that do any good. I've reported some of the Dental guys so many times and they always come back pulling the same stuff again,…

This is necessary for consistent roleplay, for several reasons. a) If you're unknown to the group nobody will know what to expect from you. A game such as STO breeds power gamers. In the PvE part of the game the player's character and ship are always a lot stronger than the opponents they meet, with the correct setup it's…
-
It's not the way all other usual chat features work. Deviation from the norm, in this case, means the chance for accidental power activation or running around, breaking an emote, are a lot higher than they would otherwise be. But this is only a minor issue, a small inconvenience. By far the biggest issue is that you can't…

Unfortunately, options for RP in STO are somewhat limited, especially considering the rather inconvenient way the chat works, having to hit return to start a message as well as send one, only being allowed a very limited number of characters per message and the chat clearing out by itself after some time so you can't just…
