• Agreed. I am often at odds with Cryptic's choices, but giving us a very nice Tier 3 AND Tier 5 Ambassador for free was a much appreciated gesture. Thank you Cryptic and Happy Anniversary! Deacon

  in Thanks Cryptic/PWE For My New Ambassador Class Cruiser! Comment by deaconltc February 2013
• Well, I don't think your idea is going to receive a warm welcome exactly, but personally I'd love to fly back in the TOS/TMP days. I was an old Starfleet Battles dabbler and that era will always be my favorite. I have thought a lot about the TOS battle on the forums and can certainly understand both sides. What I would…

• Thank you as well, I believe that answered my question. Deacon

  in what the chance increase of a white doff vs a purple Comment by deaconltc January 2013
• Hmm, not to hijack the thread but, I never quite thought of it this way. Obviously, like most people, I try to match up the crit trait. So I would generally look in the following order for a particular mission: -Purple with crit -Blue with crit... ...and so on until I couldn't find a white with crit and I would start over…
