To me, it's about progressing the storyline or narrative. The gameplay is all just stuff I tolerate towards that end. At best, it aids in immersion; at worst, it actively gets in the way. The gameplay itself, the challenge, the skill improvement -- on their own, they do absolutely nothing for me. (Just reminding folks that…

It might be just you. Kirk beat the no-win scenario. How? By exploiting a loophole due to its nature as a simulation and not a real event. Scotty beat the no-win scenario. How? By exploiting a loophole due to its nature as a simulation and not a real event. Hm, I see a pattern here...

It is not fixed for me (unless 1-1=5). That is: the number is counting down now, but when the count is 1, firing a torp makes the number change to 5, not 0. Mechanically, it's behaving as if nothing changed (for me). (Tested on two captains, my sci Vulcan and tac Romulan.)

AH! So it wasn't the STO twitter account, it was some individual PWE employee's account. That explains why I couldn't find it. Thanks!

From the point of view of developers interested in promoting the community aspects of the game, a fleet that is under the iron grip of one person is already going nowhere and doing nothing (and is at risk of becoming even worse). They're trying to make absolutely sure that the fleets do not go inactive, regardless of…

Got a link? I'm looking over their twitter feed right now, and I can't see anything like that, going back four days.

Not at all. You could always kick everyone else, then this scenario cannot happen to you. If the other people are contributing, then it wasn't all your work. If the other people are not contributing, then why do you want them? (Blizzard does essentially the same thing with WoW guilds now. My solution was to kick every…

It would seem to me that the other reason to suddenly fix issues it had for ages would be if a fleet version were coming. I take the fixes to mean either it'll be a giveaway or there'll be a fleet version within the next six months. (I kinda don't expect it to be the giveaway though, because I'm not currently expecting a…

You mean, like, if for example they were to add a weapon that had a decent chance to proc a shield bypass? That'd chew these right up?

For these particular ships, which are small craft, my testing indicates the answer is "yes". My understanding is that they can claim any ship "lower" than tier 4. (I'm sure they can't claim tier 5 -- I have tried and failed. I do not know about tier 4 either way.)

I'm not sure linking the Voth to the Iconians would be very hard. Weren't the Voth ancestors (theoretically) transported from the Alpha quadrant to the Delta quadrant literally millions of years ago? Connecting that to a civilization that ran the Gateways and disappeared utterly hundreds of thousands of years ago could…
-
Well. Yes and no. I believe that aligned Romulans can claim the small craft and the tier 1 through at least tier 3 craft of the faction they're aligned with. (At least, my own federation Romulans can claim the class F shuttle I unlocked.)
-
Pretty sure it came with a lot of bundles/promotions in the past. On my account that has the red matter capacitor unlocked, I did not see the DS9 uniform as an unlock option, but I already have access to the pieces. On my other account that I mostly just use to facilitate exchanging BOFFs, I was able to unlock it by the…
-
Actually, the EV armor is not a possibility, because they've said everything they're giving away is an account-wide unlock. The EV armor is a single-use item that can't be re-claimed if you lose it. From the way they described things, if they'd done something KDF-specific today, the academy uniform is the only possible…

Hahaha, that's 2/2 that I already owned. I wonder how many more times that'll happen? (It can't happen for all the ships. I only bought one ship that's eligible, and there's supposed to be, what, four total coming?)
-
Aw, I was really kinda hoping "formal wear" would make it into the rewards, as those actually unlock for everyone of every faction (including Romulan). (At least, my testing on Tribble seems to indicate that.)
