  • My recollection of the statement regarding that is very hazy, but I had thought the comment about the person who left related more to not knowing how to turn on the FE event itself, rather than how to turn on the 'free lobi' part. I could easily be remembering it wrong. Regardless, that much free lobi always seemed…
  • EDIT: Ninja'd by @Jodarkrider. That will teach me to start typing something and then going off to make a cup of tea before sending. As far as I know, the Community Moderators are volunteers and not Cryptic/PWE employees - they do not make decisions on game content nor have any influence regarding changes to game systems…
  • So after barely one page of this thread, some folks have already started comparing others to cancer/fascists/the stasi, simply because a couple of minor suggestions (by people who don't have any power to change anything) to improve ingame biographies have been made. Its nice to see folks remembering this is just a game and…
  • Yes, I think its probable that we will get a T6 Risian Corvette. If not this year, then next. Its just a shame that as a free event ship, it will be unlikely to have pilot moves. If any ship deserves them, its that ship.
  • Whilst its harsh to imply that this is the case for everyone calling for some kind of memorial, I do think that it fairly and accurately describes *some* players' behaviour. Which is sad. This is not the first time that some players have tried to use the death of a popular sci-fi actor as a chance to engage in acts of…
  • Yeah, I looked at the ship models from other IPs on their site. Based on the average prices of models which are in the same size range as the STO models, it looked like the price of a STO ship would start at *at least* $120 each. Any lower and I'm not sure how they would have made any money (they seemingly went bankrupt…
  • I am not going to mention names, but shame on some people who have posted in this thread. Shame on you! This was one of the first initiatives by the new Community Manager - a quick and fun little contest allowing people to share images of them and their friends in action. It was a chance to focus the community around the…
  • Firstly, let me welcome Tacofangs taking the initiative on this issue - its very reassuring to see a dev visibly taking this issue seriously, and involving players in identifying the bug, and suggesting possible resolutions. However, whilst I very much welcome the initiative, I think in this case the suggested interim…
  • Just to belatedly confirm that this seemingly can happen at almost any star. In addition to the places listed, off the top of my head I have had it happen at Na'kuhl, Vor and B'Lii (in Alpha Quadrant - I use it as a convenient waypoint to help work around the duty officer border issues). On a related point, there is a…
  • Its also against the rules to circumvent forum bans by creating multiple sock puppet accounts.
  • This has been an interesting thread. I strongly agree with the last few posts, and find the moral outrage expressed by some amusing. Fleets are within their rights to decide which project contributions they wish to open up to outsiders and which they wish to have open only to their members. Cryptic has created a situation…
  • Good old neoclassical economics
  • Yeah, I have an SA account that I use every so often so could technically be classed as a goon. But I am not a part of Dental, and I have never played EvE. In addition, all the goons I know that *do* play EvE are not part of Goonswarm but have/run their own guilds. SA is an extremely large forum. Just because some folks or…
  • Yeah, I think prejudging Geko/Cryptic's response to questions people have put forward isn't particularly helpful. I understand your desire to respond to points raised here, and to avoid creating unrealistic expectations on the part of contributors, but it seems there is pretty strong support for this idea - which has been…
  • Definitely. Taking time to see things from the perspective of the other guy is a crucial skill in life. Once you learn how to do it (and to put your own views into perspective), so many things that seemed unfair before suddenly start to make sense. I'll probably grab the Connie for my TOS Fed and the D7 for my KDF Delta…
  • If your prediction comes true and these ships do reach the EC limit, that simply shows that plenty of others are willing to pay that price for these ships. As for 'breaking their promises' - I have been around for quite a few years and I certainly can't remember any such 'promises' made to the community regarding faction…
  • Well, its good that there's finally a true T6 Connie. And its a good thing that its going to be limited availability. Otherwise every player and his dog would be flying it. I can see it becoming a new status symbol of sorts. As for those complaining about gambling: as others have said, there is a surefire way to acquire…
  • Well ain't that something...
  • Given the behaviour of many folks on these forums I think it would be a great idea to prominently display this message on the login screen
  • Sounds fun. Count me in!
  • Hello scostslad, One of the forum rules here is against 'naming and shaming' (basically getting into arguments about the actions of other players/fleets which happened ingame). In this regard, I think further discussion on whatever happened is counterproductive. But before moving on, I did just want to say that I suspect…
  • A threat is a threat, regardless of whether you have the ability to carry it out. And its also against the Terms of Service.
  • Tried it just now and its working fine for me. Well, I say 'working'. You can't really do much with it, other than view characters... About the only practical thing you can use it for ingame is to donate things to fleet projects. This was a welcome surprise, but is effectively useless, as you can't access the replicator,…
  • I don't think theres any excuse for violence against anyone, no matter what their alleged behaviour in an online videogame is like
  • A Purge event once a year would be entertaining - a free for all in all socials zones for a couple of hours. Heck, its even canonical. Lets bring the Red Time to STO
  • Oh wow, the guys and gals who went are very lucky - congrats all! Also, those accompanying business cards are amazing - #LATINUM4LYFE! #EXCLUSIVESTODILSINK
  • This is a good interview, and thanks for both it, and having it as a transcript rather than a podcast/video as others have said. We are definitely lucky to have Trendy - she does a great job
  • Heh. This is going to be popular. I'm actually indifferent to it tbh. It sucks for new players, but won't hurt established ones too badly. Doing the assignment every 4hrs was annoying anyway.
  • Nice. Thanks Cryptic. Odd its announced a week in advance. Not a complaint though, just unusual. Maybe they listened to people who complained they missed previous giveaways because of short notice or something? Makes no difference to me. Thanks again Cryptic EDIT - just seen Trendy's post. Makes sense given previous…
