  • I feel like this is a tounge-in-cheek stab at those whining about all the new content.
  • I was thinking more along the lines of: the Democratic system of the Federation elects NOT to go to war, but then half of Starfleet defects and goes with the Klingons anyway. As a result, the Anti-War starfleet attempt to apprehend them (not intending to start a war), but the pro-war AWOL Starfleet fights back, and the war…
  • This, with the exception of: *The Feds' allies desert them all the time. The only permanent Federation allies end up as part of it. **While the Battles of Wolf 359 and Sector 001 were relatively minor blows to the Federation, I would argue that the Dominion War did accomplish some of the above goals. It forced the…
  • Although I do understand the silliness of the Federation's response to Sela's attack, I think we can sort of justify their choice. The Federation is, at the time of the attack, fighting wars against the Klingons, Borg, and True Way simultaneously. Furthermore, Sela's ability to wage war was likely cut by at least 25% in…
  • Exactly. I mean, I understand that there are gonna be quirks with a new faction, but let's at least get the lore right :D
  • As a Tovan fan, I would like more than most for this reunion to be more satisfying. And give us SOMETHING for Veril's dad (or just don't make him die, and have a one-line popup from Veril)
  • I can understand the Hapax being huge, but the others really ought to be smaller. That doesn't automatically mean they have to be weaker, they may well be the most advanced ships in the Romulan navy. The Prometheus is one of the most advanced Starfleet ships, but it is smaller than the older Galaxy.
  • okay, so going gold will instantly grant me all those slots that I would normally have gotten via levelup, but not the respec tokens I would have gotten?
  • wait, so do one of the 50 marks for 500 Dil things, and it will recognize you?
  • Good points I suppose. I'm just upset that it messes with the blog entry history that shows D'Tan's group to have broken away later.
  • Let me specify: I know why the alliances are needed, but I don't see why we have to choose one ally over the other. And Romulus already blew up. LONG before the events of this story.
  • LOL, so true. $crew the Republic, I'm going to the Tal Shiar. At least they pay well.
  • I'm glad they're doing it this way. The KDF deserve some support.
  • My issues were mainly with 2 things: The Storyline:* Previous history has indicated that D'Tan's group only discovered New Romulus after Sela was kidnapped by the Iconians. D'Tan's group broke away in the chaos that Sela's departure left behind. With this progression of missions, the Reman rebellion (and Sela's abduction)…
  • Is that a canonical (Seen/Mentioned on TV) race?
  • I have no issue with subject races serving on ships of the "head" race. It's something that we should have seen in the TV show because, honestly, there would have to be a crapload of the "head" race to run the entire military alone. Having subject races command ships is more of an issue for me--although I do think they've…
  • Well played, my Snoggy Friend :cool:
  • It depends. If the Romulan faction is the New Romulus group, then no, the Hirogen don't make sense. If they are the remenant of the Empire, them yes, the Hirogen certainly should be added. And don't forget that Liberated Borg and Joined Trill will (probably) also be available to the rommies.
  • Well, the Klingons managed to beat the Hur'q, so maybe the technological difference was not as steep as we think. Admittedly the 800 years is a stretch, but I'm sure there would be some way to justify it. Maybe that was a recon ship coming to see what had happened in the last 800 years? Maybe an older vessel that was left…
  • Here's an idea... could the Hur'q be the same race as the "Shroomies?" The Cannon Trek never identified them as being Insectiod (it was only in Star Trek: Ivasion http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Invasion). They could be the same species.
  • Yeah, now that I've looked them up on Memory Alpha (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Silent_Enemy_(episode)) I have to agree with you. But the Hur'q are the next best guess :cool:
  • Hmm... could be the Daleks I suppose. We would need "Gary Seven" (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Gary_Seven) to help us if that were the case. :D
  • That's because most of the "important" events in the Star Trek Universe (those pictured in the TV series) were in the Beta Quadrant. But if you actually look at the star charts by Geoffrey Mandel, most of the Federation is in the alpha quadrant. All of it except the important planets, really :D
  • True, but the insect-like ships do not seem to be Iconian designs.
  • Guys, what are you all whining about? They said we'll get lvl 1-50 gameplay. What else could we want?
  • We don't know why Ja'rod supports the alliance, merely that he does. Take that as you will.
  • Mission Title: The Web on the Mirror Your @Handle: @Pinecone3 Faction: Klingon Level Requirement: 35+ Mission Summary: The Klingon High Council has decided, somewhat reluctantly, to destroy the Tholian presnce on Nukara Prime via Orbital Bombardment. Join up with the assualt fleet and help fight the Tholian blockade.
  • I agree that few people remain interested in the story, which is sad as it is one of the few things Cryptic has done a good job of. The turning of "story" missions into XP grinders is the obvious cause; people SHOULD have to play through the whole storyline to reach VA (although if they don't have to bother with all those…
  • Yes, but they've never been able to launch frigates before (admittedly the number of players getting that ability wil be ridiculously small)
