If you're looking for a fleet, UFPlanets is the best one in the game. Fun community, friendly members, and well organized. You don't have to worry if the fleet is for the long term because it is. It was founded on 2002 and it's still kicking in 2022! That's a lot of 2's.
As far as Licensed materials and Canon is concerned, as per CBS, canon is canon. I'll be uberly amazed if STO will be given the go-signal to prevent the supernova. :p (And I'll probably start a campaign that the Litverse be given the same leeway *pffft*)
Why? CBS owns everything "Star Trek", and from what I remember from the interviews during the development of STO (even before it was transferred to Cryptic), CBS did say they're going to give a special attention to STO. It was a few years after that it made sense, because it will be the last "Primeverse" content we'll ever…
Yep, I think she's the brain behind the direction the Star Trek Litverse is going, with her counterpart in Pocket Books as her partner, if I'm not mistaken, Trekkers ;)
Since I won't be able to attend as I'm not from the USA... can a good soul ask: 1. Are there plans to implement phasing tech across the board to make the game more alive and immersive? The way Guild Wars 2, World of Warcraft, and Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa did it? (Definitely not LotRO's implementation.) You don't have…
So in summary... there were stuff from these different timelines that showed up in the new prime timeline because the branches are merging. Those stuff that somehow became important, survived in the merging of the timelines. Which this new prime timeline will probably not solve to who it belonged to, since it's possible…
The answer is simple, there are things that were left in this timeline. You see, the first rule in temporal mechanics is this: Time is both non-linear and linear. Time is non-linear: Meaning, you have to view time as an observer, "outside of time", unaffected by the flow of time, not part of it. All points in time are the…
I already said it in another thread, Cryptic needs to implement a good balance and proper use of old techniques: Phasing Technology in particular, and Instance. LotRO made a mistake in phasing technology, locking it with the character's development/timeline. Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa did a very good job in using…
Oh, it is empty, transwarp or not. You can transwarp if you want even before the revamp, yet you will see players flying through sector space heading to who knows where. Today, it is no longer the case. It's a miracle to see one or two ships here and there, and that's during primetime. Also, social media followers doesn't…
I for one doesn't want another server. I mean, look at sector space, since the revamp, it's rare to see ships flying around. Simpler answer, the galaxy is huge and we haven't filled it yet to warrant a different server. :)
I understand that. Don't get me wrong, I like to have a different story myself. But as much as it is enjoyable to see where it can take us and to suggest, I believe our suggestions should be within the limit of their license agreement with CBS, and we all know how CBS (and Paramount for that matter) holds their franchises…
If we're going to talk about "levels", one can simply say that Cryptic did put in place a minimum level requirement. The issue I see there is, the range is huge, 10 levels if I'm not mistaken. 51-60 for example, or 41-50. Which, I agree, will make a huge difference. So maybe, shorten it to 5 levels only? Similar to the…
But seriously. Who here can say that before they joined an Advanced or Elite queue, they're all ready and geared up, in any game for that matter? Not one, surely. All of us tried repeatedly an advanced or elite queue so we can understand and figure out what else we need to do. We even asked other players for their…
Yep, it might work. And the Iconians will finally realize we have a huge advantage over them. We can use time to our advantage and they cannot. Though, if you think about it, we survived the Iconians, because Daniel's 31st Century Temporal faction showed in ENT episodes :p And STO's branch of history split after…
Ah, another temporal war. It's possible. I very much want to see that. In fact, Cryptic can play with Temporal (Cold) War plots. The thing with TCW/TW there are two ways to look at it and both are valid. 1. When you have time travel technology, time becomes non-linear. In a temporal (cold) war, all time becomes the…
Nope, not going to happen, trust me. Here are the reasons: 1. Licensed materials, like STO, are mandated to follow the canon. Although yes, "Hobus" was not mentioned canonically, but the supernova that destroyed Remus and Romulus is canon because it was shown in Star Trek 11. 2. By changing the past, the game should change…
The Prophets? That's possible. The Prophets probably saw the need to save the Iconians. They might be useful in some future war. The Prophets are like that.
And here we go again with the "If you DPS is no 10k+ GTFO" attitude, just with a twist. A fair question, how will they learn the strategies if you are going to gate them from trying the advanced queue repeatedly?
That's exactly the point, you are using material that is not canon. We're in STO's timeline branch not Litverse/Relaunch branch. And secondly, I never said anything about Guinan's words as the be-all-end-all. Once again, what's in canon is canon, and as was explained by the writers of the Litverse branch, CBS made sure…
You are wrong right from the beginning. "Star Trek" is fully owned by "CBS". For the movies/films, they sub-licensed it to "Paramount". Basic rule of CBS: 1. All live-action productions produced by CBS (TV series) and Paramount (movies/films) are hard-canon 2. All other materials are soft-canon 3. All soft-canon materials…
Oh, that's cool. Hmm, by any chance do you know of any Foundry missions with Tellar and Betazed? --- And agreed. In real life, we can't even see the planets recently found to be orbiting Alpha Centauri, so at least in-game, we can have some sort of "awe", a trinary star system too. How cool is that is see it virtually.
What makes you think they demand "they belong in Advance without improvement"? Tell me, how would they know they need to "improve", as you have repeated a lot of times, if you will demand that they stay out of the game's system? How will they know if you don't teach them in a friendly manner instead of pushing them out?…
