This is one of the reasons I don't like the Terran Empire in STO. Once the Prime TOS guys convinced the Mirror Spock to be cool, the point was the Terrans chilled out, but got curbstomped by an alliance of people they suddenly stopped being as bad to. DS9's Mirror Terrans are actually supposed to be the heroes, so I find…
Considering how they went nuts with a bunch of disconnected Discovery storylines, I agree waiting would be a good idea, but am going to remain surprised that Cryptic hasn't acted on it yet.
I can't wait for them to add the costumes and ships and lots of items and equipment and characters, and then suddenly turn it all into a bunch of cell-shaded 2D sprite effects a week later, because CBS doesn't allow non-cartoon depictions of anything LD. Honestly though, I'm still surprised we haven't seen anything from…
There were 9 months between Season 14 and VIL's final mission, "Home". Counting the Dominion tutorial as a single mission and discounting the Anniversary and Season 14.5 in that time frame, that's 8 missions per 9 months, or 0.88MpM. By your own calculation, 11 missions per 23 months comes out to 0.48MpM, barely over half…
It's been almost a year and a half without a new rep, and there's been practically no story progress in that time. We're still dealing with Discovery Klingons, and it doesn't look like this meandering plotline will get anywhere any time soon, so if they did give us a new rep, it'd have to be something original. Hah. But I…
Biothermal Dampener, maybe? I don't think there are any party horns with snow effects on them, so can't be that. Most kits can't be used on ESD, but maybe something like an Endothermic Induction Field or Cold Fusion Flash, or maybe even that one icy terrain stasis module could have done it?
The lack of content overall and most of it just being recolors of the boring baseball stuff is lame though. The modules and kit might be cool for a few hours, but that's all that's super interesting.
They're giving us band tees but NOT making one a Caitian screech metal band that Kyona talked about in the First Contact Day blog? They could even make it a parody of kiss by naming them "H.I.S.S." Cats even have those wicked fur patterns from Ferasans, it's the perfect idea! I can always hope for next year.
I'd like to lump in Chroniton torpedos in this as well. They have the same trashy cooldown and below average damage, but they don't even have any slight damage enhancing bonuses like Transphasic, just some weak slow that gets removed after two seconds.
I remember when the Mudd's sales were 85% at one point. I know why they won't just drop these items that could originally be obtained for free down to a reasonable price but it's still not very consumer friendly. It's very obvious that these items are overpriced just to sucker people out of obscene amounts of money off…
It's pretty lame that it has a limited duration and a pretty long cooldown between uses. I wouldn't mind it being weaker if it was something I could keep active all the time.
Anything but J'Ula becoming chancellor. I'd delete every one of my KDFs if that happened. Granted, there's only 2, but still. I'm still banking on it being the Female Changeling though. You don't end a mission with a Dukaan scanning the puddle of founder goo (which wasn't ash, like most founders become when they die), and…
I don't have a problem with my character tripping (well, I do, but I can accept that tripping happens naturally). It happens. It's an overdone, forced plot device that makes me furious every single time it gets used, but I can accept that tripping does indeed happen. What I can't accept, however, is my character standing…
I have to be honest, I kinda hate the new missions. The environment art was phenomenal, and I loved the VAs and setpieces, but story wise the whole thing is one gigantic pile of garbage. There's constantly some new McGuffin pulled out of left field the second we come close to winning, and the player is forced into a…
The question now is whether or not this change will allow us to get multiples of the same boff type like we have been. I'd love a full team of Ferasan BOffs, and it was impossible without spending a small fortune.
If they really wanted to make an enticing bundle (that ISN'T overpriced), they could have done something similar to the Legendary Bundle without the ship refits. I'd be totally on board with buying say... A temporal promo bundle including the Temp Sci Vessels, Temp Destroyers, Paradox Dreadnought, Krenim Warship, Zahl…
This is something I feel hasn't been spoken of enough. By jacking the prices in the MM they've not only got a way to sucker some unfortunate people into paying 5 times as much as they should for this, but those items also never actually go on sale. Our supposed "sale" prices are still overpriced versions of what we should…
I really hope we get the First Contact rewards account unlocked like they said they'd be soon. I'd hate to have to wait a year for what should be a simple fix.
So my comment about the Universe and Annorax classes was a bit of a joke, but I am actually confused as to why they didn't include the Paradox in this. They already have 2 of the temporal ships, I don't see why they couldn't finish the whole set so we'd have access to everything account-wide. In any case, expect the price…
Isn't it funny how immediately after kicking Admiralty payouts in the teeth we get a bug where people can get upwards of 30k dilithium a day? The only part that upsets me is knowing I won't be one of the people to be able to exploit that 'feature' for myself. Also I really hope they finally fix the bug with the Phoenix…
Funny thing is, by making it like this they not only have the chance of getting chumps to buy ships for 5x regular price, but the ships are also NEVER subject to storewide sales. The 20% off everything they're doing currently has no benefit since they're still overpriced.
So, all I'm hearing is that the Phoenix Box is only worth the upgrades? That.still asks my original question, what do we do with the things now that 99% of their contents is redundant in the face of an account unlock store that will probably take most of those away anyway? What's the draw to get people to spend more…
