  • I'm not disagreeing with you, but all you can do is report the offender and wait for Cryptic to do something. So you can either sit on your hands and wait for a GM to act, or you can take advantage of the options I mentioned.
  • Like I said earlier, maybe they finally revamped the exploration system, and the Delta Quad is what we'll be exploring.
  • I obviously dont know what event inspired this thread, but I would just like to remind you that A) there are usually always multiple instances of any given social map, meaning if you are having a problem on one you can probably get away from the troll by switching and B) the foundry is great for creating social RP areas…
  • And that argument would be completely wrong. I play foundry missions, which are all different. By playing foundry missions, I get dilithium. I trade my dilithium for zen, which gets me things I want from the game store. Pretty much every MMO's endgame consists of getting cool new stuff, and getting the cool new stuff I…
  • You should definitely have the option to grind, if you want to. You should also have the option not to grind, if you dont. Fortunately this game gives you both options, and if you choose to do something you dont want to do, you only have yourself to blame.
  • Mirror Universe ships look EXACTLY the same as normal ships...just with yellow paint splashed on them. That being the case, why would the interiors look so different?
  • That sounds incredibly unlikely. If people are going to spend money on ships, they are going to demand to be able to use them in the entire game. It would be a PR disaster.
  • The entire concept of this thread is flawed. First of all, Season 9 hasnt come out yet, so your opinion of it is meaningless. After it has launched and you have actually played its content, then your feedback will mean something. Secondly, there is a reason we have different categories on forums. No one forum, and…
  • The "best" way to earn is the way that you actually enjoy, and doesnt feel like a grind. For me that is the foundry, since every mission is different. And dilithium rewards scale based on average mission length, so you will be rewarded proportinally to your time investment.
  • The expansion is almost certainly about the Delta Quadrant, which is where the story of the game is obviously headed. Perhaps they have finally created a "real" exploration system, and that will be the big draw. You know, the whole "explore strange new worlds" thing that Trek is supposed to be about, but STO has never…
  • The game is only a grind if you make it a grind. You choose what missions you do each time you log on, so if you choose to do the same one over and over again, that is your own fault, not the games. I personally choose to play the foundry, where ever mission I do is different from the last. For that I get tons of dilithium…
  • I never said they did, or did not. I'm saying that once upon a time, CBS apparently cared about things "making sense" in this game's storyline. And 4 years later, they are (hypothetically) allowing humans, Klingons, and Romulans to fly Undine bioships. Therefore, sometime in the past 4 years, they quit caring so much.
  • CBS said "no" 4 years ago because at that time they apparently cared that the game's story made sense. If they have in fact approve an Undine lockbox and therefore Fed/KDF/Rom players flying Undine ships(which is still unknown at this point), that is proof that their stance has changed over time. So how they felt 4 years…
  • Canon says a Sovereign can destroy a Borg sphere pretty easily.
  • Dont worry, I wasnt being genuine. My point though is that having an Undine ship is just as crazy has having the T5 connie. So for those making excuses for for the Undine ship, they are also by extension making excuses for a T5 connie, whether they acknowledge it or not.
  • Great argument for a T5 connie!
  • It has nothing to do with humans: http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Species_8472#Apocrypha
  • It seems like this whole argument stems from the fact that some people seem to think "not canon" is a bad thing. Its not. Not being canon means you have a lot more freedom in storytelling than if you have to stick to strict rules. That is exactly what Cryptic choose to set STO's time period post Nemesis rather than during…
  • Funny you should aks that, because I didnt see you give some official source in your last post where you said: Ah yes, you said "in most circles", and the same is true of Trek. So if "in most circles" was good enough for you to try to make your point, then it is for me too. And if you dont need to provide some official…
  • Except we're not talking about Superman, or any other franchise, we're taking specifically about Trek. And in Trek, the TV shows and movies are Canon, and the other things arent. That doesnt mean they are bad or worthelss or cant be enjoyed, they just arent canon. What other franchises do is completely irrelevant to Trek.
  • You missed my point. There was an actual reason CBS said "no", and that reason was because they thought it didnt make sense. So if they have relaxed their standards enough to the point that they now think an Undine player ship makes sense, then maybe they now think a T5 connie makes sense too. I mean, its been over 4 years…
  • You dont have to "throw it away", it just isnt canon. Its kind of like fiction and non fiction in RL. Just because something is fiction doesnt mean you "throw it away"; most people actually enjoy fiction more than non fiction. But regardless of what you enjoy most, one is "real", and the other isnt. And in Trek, what is…
  • If they do make an Undine lockbox there is no longer any canon argument about having a T5 connie, since both are equally against canon.
  • To be clear, are the pictures you make or words you write used inside the actual game when people login, or outside the game in promotional articles?
  • By this logic it is now time for the T5 connie. It makes just as little sense as players flying an Undine ship.
  • I think I understand what you guys do, but your use of the term "content" on an MMO forum is pretty ambiguous. When most people use the term "content" in reference to MMOs they are talking about what the actual developers make(missions, various art assets, etc). Are you guys involved in the actual content creation?
  • And the foundry event?
  • Your point is valid, and yes I am disappoint.
  • Different people are just at different places in life. Some people get upset when they cant play a video game, other people just sigh and do something else until the servers are back on. The good news is, a week from now none of this will matter.
  • Hey man, I get it. I wish I was in game playing too. I've put in a full week's work just like you(I'm assuming you work, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), and I'm totally ready to enjoy the weekend with some STO. And yes, its a bummer that the game is down right now. But here is the difference in our situations: you…
