Welp, time to move across to the private indy STO servers then. No way I'm leaving Windows 7 in this lifetime, too many essential programs I use for work do not function on W8 and above.
Even if it doesn't win, I really, really hope 4 is made sometime. It's a freaking blue whale in space, I LOVE that design! Imagine flying it to the Whale Probe for a chat lol...
So, let me see if I have this right... I have a solo fleet. I got it to Tier 4 in the Starbase holding, and fully completed all the other smaller holdings. I *just* last week completed K-13, there's two days left until the final upgrade finishes and my fleet hit level 61. It took literally years for me to make this much…
The reward powerboards (Bronze, Silver and Gold) need to be Elite level with speed of at least 78 and intetia of 150. What's the point of winning the Biathlon to unlock boards that are inferior to the one you just used in order to win? You might say they are just for bragging rights, but who brags by equipping an inferior…
Account: @Dollmistress Characters: Dollmistress (FED) - lost Kit (appears as blank box in character profile, cannot move/delete/interact) No idea what kit is was, probably one of the special Spire or Romulan ones. Pinzi (KDF) - lost Kit (appears as blank box in character profile, cannot move/delete/interact) No idea what…
Actually looks a LOT more like a She-Ra themed ship, to the point that I strongly suspect that's where the inspiration for the shape came from. Either her Crystal Castle learned to fly, or her tiara did. Seriously, I'm just hoping you can make the ship gold :D
Don't worry, I'm sure they'll sell it back to us via a micro-transaction at some point... -_- Remarkably sexist to remove this and the long nails though. I guess the Cryptic offices have forgotten about equality in the workplace? 1950s character creator tool for a 2010s game set in the 2410s :p
So as someone who has played this game since Beta, held a lifetime subscription since the start, collects Borg items but who randomly was away for the past two days, there is no way for me to now ever get my hands on the Borg DOFF reward? That's it - game over for me being a completionist with DOFFs and Borg gear? If so,…
Ugh. Another round of homework and reminding myself what all my builds are, then replicating them to fit with whatever moon-brained changes are now being implemented. Way to just irritate everyone... New content takes forever to arrive and it drip-fed at the rate of one mission a month, but somehow there's more than enough…
My fault. I went into Defera dressed as a Ghostbuster and shot a Borg with the Devidian prototype "proton pack" gun. The instant I did that, the entire zone reverted. I must have crossed the streams... O.O Seriously, the change happened at the exact moment I fired the weapon. I think I caused a server total protonic…
These Reapers disguising themselves in neon dancefloor costumes aren't gonna fool me. Someone get Shepard on the 'phone, we need a red/blue/green explosion, stat! :)
It will still be possible to fail a queue. These failure conditions will be limited to checks that players are actually attempting to complete the queue or that they are not getting stuck in a situation where they cannot win. A the moment, we expect these failure conditions to take the form of timers for completing the…
Here's how the conversation went in the Cryptic offices: Dev 1: Let's give everyone a new funky torpedo! Dev 2: Great idea, players will love that! We'll make it a Mark XIV Epic weapon! :D Dev 3: Hrm. that's an...okay...idea. But I have a much better one. Let's make it MK XIII, that way players will need to spend Dilithium…
Game design that holds profit as its ultimate end. That's the problem. I guarantee that when this event begins there will be a cynical cash-grab hidden amongst the rewards. Even the CCE event included one, with the new torp.
You know what the best way of creating a jumping-off point for a customer base is? Gating your product. This is going to be "City of Heroes: Going Rogue" all over again, with the dev and marketing investment coming to almost nothing (like a 1% spike in new subs for a month at most) at the cost of annoying existing players…
There are millions of other species in the game, Doctor. Only cetacean arrogance would assume the message must be meant for whales. ...as suspected. The login server's transmissions are the posts made by players with maxed out Specialization Points. Sadly, those players were hunted to extinction in the 21st century. They…
