I want to see a true terror episode. Say the Enterprise-B gets found after so long adrift. The PC's ship is sent to investigate and board the ship to find out what happened. Something interferes with the transporter so you have to shuttle in. The ship is empty and power is fluctuating like crazy. Any Vulcan or other…
I'd play KDF side if the storyline wasn't a pile of stupid featuring the player character being a mindless jackass incapable of forethought and looking to punch things. If I wanted to play an idiot in search of a village that solves every problem by howling about "honor" while holding down the trigger rather than engaging…
I'm rather enjoying it. It has it's problems, but all new series' do, especially when there's an already-existing metaplot. That so many angry, nitpicking purists that were dead set on hating it from the moment the title was first mentioned are raging so hard that they're all but frothing at the mouth in impotent trekkie…
I'm thinking I'll skip it this time around. The character I'm playing the most used some...lets call it "unorthadox" tactics when she did the Maru in her backstory, and the rewards aren't really cool enough to make me want to embrace the dissonance. ;)
Starfleet being a military force or not is a circular argument. It has ranks, is a uniformed service, and enters into combat in defense of the Federation, but at the same time behaves like civilians, lacks a the hardened edge one would expect in a Navy, and actively keeps it's more militarized members out of the chain of…
So the future of Star Trek is asleep at the wheel Admirals sending fast battlecruisers packed with pillage hungry murder machines on diplomatic missions and research forays? The only reason the flag of freedom isn't flying on my ships is Cryptic not letting me do so. :P
Good. I'm glad to see him back, and look forward to what gets put together under his lead. I enjoyed his take on Star Trek and love Force Awakens, so he's got a high bar to clear. He'd also just been gutshot with a light anti-material weapon. People bitching about Rey being an OP mary sue forget everything that Luke pulled…
Much as that's the Military Ideal, like most ideals, it's BS. The number of people that can't qualify without an ACOG on their rifle, can't ruck 20 miles without four water breaks, are near blind without their prescription lenses, or are so overweight that the military doesn't even stock uniforms in their lard-heavy size…
Thats what happens when a packs of idiots start screaming "INDEPENDANCE, DERP!" with no way to maintain law and order, little to no economic base, and deliberately going out of their way to **** off the only people in the area capable of keeping the peace. But the totally legitimately elected "government" keeps telling the…
Oh, my sweet summer child. What do you know of toxic communities? The STO forums are an island of sane politeness and understanding compared to the horrors of the World of Warcraft forums, the bitterness of World of Tanks, and the rage of War Thunder.
Hell, my main makes use of the MACO weapons. The battle rifle and the shotgun/grenade launcher. My 23c Captain uses a Lukari compression pistol for general use and the Temporal dual pistols for when it's time to get dangerous.
While I'm not always switching stuff out, I do tweak the uniforms of my character and bridge officers until I am pleased. I also run uniform codes from crew to crew. As an example, My current "main" captain of the good ship Merkava is from the 23rd century and has a military background, so she and her crew use the…
I'm of the belief that the tactical tree needs a complete rework anyway. Most of it's skills are simply +% on damage and crit, which really is just plain boring. Of course most people will dump at least six points into the Tac tree. Why wouldn't they? It's essentially a free upgrade. I'd actually completely strip the…
1. It's not grimdark. 2. The computers look the way they do because it's 2017, we know the way computers look, work, and how they should be presented. Star Trek has always been about the future as we think it may be, and the technicolor mechanical buttons, chrome TRIBBLE, constant pinging and LED-lit diorama displays of…
Is your response to roll your eyes, ignore it, and carry on with your day or to pitch a hissyfit, vent on tumblr, complain to law enforcement, and start a petition to see it banned while hiding in a safe space and crying over being tirggered?
One can very easily state that the countless numerable lives lost in the pursuit of a conventional victory could have been avoided if the founders had been wiped out early on. All it takes is people in seats of power taking up the Us or Them mentality and deciding that it better for the enemy to pay the price.
Because the more level heads among the Forerunners realized too what ancient humanity was running from and had annihilated their civilization, only to discover that the Flood was about to wipe out the Forerunners and that their only possible ally was already dead under their guns. Humanity was "chosen" to reclaim what was…
Sure, Cassidy. I'm happy to be your bartender IN A LIVE [censored] COMBAT ZONE! Why the hell my Starfleet Engineer didn't just grab the damned part and walk off is beyond me.
