  • I suppose it was only a matter of time before people came right out and started asking for this kind of stuff. Perhaps you'd like some stockings and a garter belt to? Is it really necessary for people to try and turn every game into a virtual sexcapade?
  • Call me pessimistic but I have a hard time accepting the "Explore New Worlds" angle when all we have had for 5 years is nothing but shoot'em up bang bang gameplay. I would hate to be any world first visited by the Starfleet of this era and reality. We're hardly the pinnacle of Starfleet's exploratory bona fides.
  • I was waiting to see what they did with the consoles, and as I feared, rather than increasing the paltry Science console count, they tossed in yet another Engineering console. But, then I see they decided to increase for the Fleet version. Kind of a poke in the eye for anyone not in a fleet with access to a Tier 5 or…
  • I like the specs of the Chimera, and the Manticore. I just wish it had a different look. This would have been a good opportunity to develop some additional part options on the ship. Slimmer hull, 2 nacelle configuration rather than 4, etc. Oh well. I simply can not fathom what Cryptic's fascination with 4-nacelle ships is.
  • Yeah, you are right. From Memory Alpha: Apparently Kahless just died from the sin of hubris.
  • Sounds like Communism or Socialism to me. Bunch of that "redistribute wealth" nonsense. I say...Better Dead Than Red! :cool:
  • I find myself still dumbfounded by just how terrible this mission was, on so many levels. Putting aside the social commentary and judging the mission on everything but that little nagging nitpick, there is so very little redeeming quality to the story. - Totally mis-characterized Legendary character. - Canon ignored…
  • Why does it need to be "low key" or "natural"? Because to do otherwise defeats the purpose of doing it in the first place. The point of the struggle for equal rights (be it based on race, gender, sexual orientation, etc) is not to be put up on a pedestal, or paraded around as a statement. The point is to be treated…
  • Personally I feel it was rather forced. It was done in such a way that it feels the whole reason we went over to the Klingon ship was to meet some Klingon Lesbians. Frankly, I think it could have been done in a much less conspicuous way, or at least done much more tactfully, so as to not be a "Hey look, LESBIANS" moment.…
  • It was an LGBT thing. Done in such a way as if they put flashing lights, loud sirens and big arrows around it saying "Hey look at what we did!" Which brings me to my kudos for "The Flash" and "Arrow" as they did something similar, but it was done so nonchalant and smooth that it simply felt normal and not as if done to…
  • I got in and played last night for the first time in weeks, specifically to try out this mission. It was just...bad. (Beware Spoilers) 1. The whole Klingon spies thing wasn't working for me. Furthermore, why oh why did you put the Klingons in the Intelligence outfit? It looked utterly ridiculous. I was not a fan. 2. That…
  • Keen observations. The past year (maybe even 2) has felt like channelizing devices. Channelizing devices (for the uninitiated) is the technical term used for Traffic Control apparatus like cones, barrels and concrete barrier within work zones that direct the traffic where to go, when to go there, and at what speed. In the…
  • But of course! :D
  • Reading this I suddenly saw Cryptic as one of those cheesy Old West bad guys pointing their six-shooter at the ground in front of their opponents and firing off rounds while shouting: "Dance Monkey! Dance!" :rolleyes: Just another Increase The Grind™ mechanic, brought to you by your (less than) friendly developers at…
  • Might not be where you know her from, but a bit of a fun fact that LoCicero had a guest role on Chuck, the series Robert Duncan McNeil directed. :)
  • And "Chuck" fans love you too Robert! You did good work on that! :)
  • Hey OP, how did this person know your particular orientation? Not saying anyone is EVER in the right for hate speech, but at the same time, how can anyone harass you if you don't actually TELL THEM that rather...personal information. The best way to avoid issues (and a general GOOD rule of thumb to follow in online…
  • I think a big part of the problem is the INCONSISTENT approach to ships that Cryptic has taken. How can you expect fans of the Galaxy (for example) to give up on their ship, and embrace a new one, when you have things like the T5-U Excelsior, which is vastly superior in most every way to the Galaxy (T5-U) even if the…
  • Thanks for the helpful insights. That at least gives me a path to pursue, that while not the greatest (lots of grinding + a seasonal) at least I should be able to move forward.
  • One need only ask themselves: "Is it profitable" and there is your answer. Don't get me wrong, I'm a capitalist all the way, but I much prefer the direct purchase route, than the Las Vegas Route. But, that's just me.
  • Yeah I feel your pain. I'm starring down the barrel of running the Cardassian series yet again, and I want to get all the rewards and loot but frankly I HATE the Cardassian series. It's long, boring, a story I don't really care about, and it needs a massive revamp. The plight of a Delta Recruit.
  • Yeah, this! I'd pay for a T5-U version of the Phalanx and/or Dragaus Gorn science ships, and no doubt there are folks who would love to see a legit Klingon science vessel.
  • AWESOME!!! Really happy to see this, and a bit of TLC applied to the Klingon faction. Keep up the good work! (crossing fingers for some Klingon / Gorn / Nausiccan / Feresan ship love too)
  • With the 12x XP event returning on May 4th, I count myself lucky to have something else to do, as my Romulan DR (as well as the girlfriend's) are just about to hit 50, but we have major amounts of our Level 50 gear locked up in the fleet bank and my account bank. However, if this isn't resolved by the time we get back...…
  • Missing Items From Fleet Bank: Full Set of Transphasic Torpedo Boat gear for Level 50, Tab #1 (Can't remember the full specifics of what was there, as I stored it for the girlfriend a couple weeks back) Missing Items from Account Bank: Approx. 10 MK XI & XII Very Rare Personal Armor + Approx 10 MK XI & XII Rare / Very Rare…
  • So no patch today, and no fix slated for this weekend. This is a bit irritating. The girlfriend and I are approaching Level 50 on our Delta Recruits. She has a whole set of Level 50 gear which is locked out in the Fleet Bank. I have a whole set of Level 50 ground gear locked out in my account bank. And it's looking like…
  • - Add T5 Retrofits of all Gorn, Nausican, and Klingon ships that don't currently have them. - Add every vanity title that has been requested but ignored over the past 5 years (Fleet Captain, Commodore, etc) - Get work started on an Interior revamp, as well as development of things to do inside our ships. - Boost XP across…
  • Not diggin' the Iconian Rep Set visuals, both Space and Ground. The space visuals make me think 1976, paisley. The ground set makes me think disco leotard. Oh, and having played Champions...I know where the base appearance for that leotard came from. Nobody is fooled. Is it really so hard to make good quality, items and…
  • Best bridges in the game: Constitution Odyssey Belfast Intrepid Wells Canon Bridges I'd like to see done to similar quality: Excelsior Sovereign (Nemesis) Galaxy Constellation Prometheus Non-Canon new bridges I'd like to see done to similar quality: Concorde Mogh Regent Guardian
  • Might actually be bigger than you think. Just tried to run a Google search, and the screen stayed blank. Yet, I could run the same search in Bing. "The Microsoft Empire has returned!" ;)
