I'm guessing it's the login/account server that's down. If you are already in game, you are not affected (unless you d/c). However, it appears that you cannot log into the game.
Well, one of the active ingredients for photon torpedoes is antimatter. And I think the likelihood of any Trek civilization handing out antimatter is about the same as the likelihood of the U.S. Navy granting tours to people looking for "nuclear wessels".
On a more somber note, 2/1 Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment bids farewell to fallen comrades with a haka: http://youtu.be/xI6TRTBZUMM Hakas can be very powerful emotionally, so co-opting them should be done with care if at all.
As a matter of fact, yes. I did my typical 11-minute route (with Borg engine) with a Science Destroyer equipped with primarily the Solanae/Dyson sets (no Borg engine, frequent use of Subspace Fold). Took me about 14 minutes. (My Fed route starts in Mempa/Pi Canus -> Eta Eridani -> Regulus -> Sirius -> the BU>AT>BU>AT>ZA>BU…

I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make more sacrifices to-day than any of you to secure peace."…
Lord Reefa in Babylon 5's "And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place". Also... "I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I would look up at your lifeless eyes and wave like this."…

Here's a nice compilation of all five Babylon 5 intros. Musically, my favorite is the Season 1 version. (Oh yeah, spoiler alert.) To bookend it, here's the Babylon 5 final end credits. (Contains first and final appearances of most of the main cast, so again... spoiler alert.)
Having trouble figuring out Romulan grammar, so I'm just going to name my Romulan starter vessel Mneani Nvoii ("Red Ride"). And yes, it's going to put someone's eye out.
It would also be cool if you could tour all available bridges, or have a mission to take any rank-appropriate starship in the inventory for a test flight to Jupiter.
If one is added to ESD, it should be on its own level, ideally with a nice view of Earth. And more importantly, it should be separated from ESD zone chat.
