Mikey Spock is in this? Urgh. Why!? None of my toons have any interest in being lectured at by a convicted traitor. Oh well, I suppose that's what 'mute' is for.
-
I made a toon, played through the c23 stories, then deleted it once I'd done them. I see no value in making a toon for a gimmick like c23 so deleted it in favour of the toons I focus my attentions on, and it was one of those I took through the non-c23 new stories.
-
It's a TV trope, the "Big Bad". In a nutshell, big, dark, and ugly is shorthand to telegraph to audiences that this enemy is evil and powerful. The bigger, the more powerful. I doubt any more thought went into it than that.
-
Legacy of Romulus of course for the reasons others already mentioned. The reason I think it's fair to include Agents of Yesterday in the poll is because it sold a whole raft of TOS-era ships yet only included enough missions for those to be used in the first tier, plus, the TOS-era ships don't really fit into the 2410…
-
My very earliest memory was I think, seeing random snippets of TOS but it didn't really grab me (I was barely in school if that). My first serious memory would be seeing WoK complete with being freaked out by the bug crawling out of the huge rubber ear... However my first real "serious" viewing of Star Trek would be TNG.…
-
My Romulan toons have a Flotilla, and Romulan Command to go to that are exclusively for them. TOS toons can't even access c23 ESD after hitting level 10. That's your answer right there.
-
The original inclusion of Temporal Ships could count as this in a minor way, but the latest 'expansion' removes any trace of doubt. The old show-based voiceovers, the TOS ships, together with 31st century ships, and JJ Trek ships... the whole thing is turning into Farek's World of Ships "You want it? We got it!" To me,…
-
Yeah it's the typical JJ Trek formula: make random action flick, set it in space, plaster some Star Trek-related words and images over the top of it, call it a Star Trek film and hope nobody notices that it really doesn't have anything to do with what made Star Trek "Star Trek" in the first place. Just this time, they did…
-
Legacy of Romulus was the last expansion that was really on point.
-
Saw the Jar Jar ships arriving, I left. Haven't bothered to log in so far, hoping people will get the ship traits then go back to non-Jar Jar ships again. If not, then probably won't bother logging in too often. There's only so much Jar Jar fangirling I can handle (and that's not much).
-
The livestream was hilarious... the 50% delay, the huge echo, the Newspeak, the trolling, Borticus befriending Dental, the trolling players behind the skillstree, Borticus getting frustrated with having to "confirm" every single new skill... definitely worth having popcorn :#
-
Played the (new) Breach and let me make a couple of observations: 1. Forced pathway means there's little opportunity to actually get into it and shine 2. The huge "this way" arrows make the whole thing feel like a preschooler's Fun Run where everyone gets the "Participation Trophy" including the kid who wet his pants and…
-
The Breach, huzzah! Shame about dumbing it down though... the rewards weren't up to the time, but an upping of rewards should have been enough. And really, not everything needs to be oversimplified down to "casual cellphone game status". Some players can cope with needing to think about what to do next without a huge arrow…
-
Or to put it another way, with my ten toons, I could conceivably have to spend up to ten hours, learning this new system and devising the best build on it, to get myself to exactly where I currently am prior to spending all this time. And you don't see a problem here?
-
One question I'd like to ask people who think this new tree is a great idea: where's the improvement, to those who know how t And the rest... Remember, if you have R&D-'improved' equipment, and you find that "X Console" doesn't work as well as it should anymore, you'll need to get "Y Console", and then go and spend…
-
It's where Dual Beam Banks come from and it looks *horrible*... specially when they fire up through your Chevron.
-
Everything you have said is absolutely as I expect. I've already decided on approach #3. Indeed, if this was meant to "encourage experimentation", then an obvious mechanic would be to extend the Loadout Feature to be a full "rigging": not just ship equipment and boffs, but also doffs, specialization tree, skillstree, the…
-
If this was really meant to be making the system easier (though I would ask, why would you?), then you'd just change the 9 boxes per skill to 3, and do some renames, such as "starship maneuvers" to "starship defence", and "threat control" to "threat generation". You could also break out some of the skills into a 'baseline'…
-
I haven't read all the comments so this may have been covered. Basically, why are you fiddling with this, of all things? We know how the skillstree works, and when new players start, we assist them already. There were so many other opportunities for improvement, like re-introducing Exploration Clusters, introducing…
-
Considering there's a message in Defera about the Borg "regenerating", to "check your mission calendar", and areas blocked off with auto-beambacks, it looks to me like the typical "herd the sheep into the shiny new areas" to me. So I am doffing only until this nonsense stops and I get to play the areas that *I* want to…
-
Yes, annoyed about The Breach going, and the lack of notice or discussion of the reasoning behind it. I can't see any real reason to remove it considering it still triggered reasonably often. In terms of Mine Trap, it's the problem of not having 20 players queuing that needs to be addressed, rather than just taking the…
-
Sorry but so far it's gone from having an exploration focus with an end to the Iconian threat, to being pew pew with bigger badder enemy that's bigger and badder thanks to the Iconians. Delta Rising Vaadwuaar Mk II. Still, it's nice to be disappointed in anticipation, rather than afterwards like Delta Rising, so I suppose…
-
When in a space mission, right-click on an enemy while you're not at Red Alert, and your ship will set itself to automatically intercept.
-
Gotta say, it was disappointing to see Kahless turned into a "The Redshirt-Wearing Hero Dies". Injured and whisked away by KDF Intelligence would have made for a better story, in the sort of way that Dr. Cooper's fate was only discovered later on.
-
Rest In Peace, Ms Whitney :(
-
They can nerf it if they feel the need to fiddle some more... But no, it will not result in me playing Delta Rising patrols, it will not result in me doing more PvE queues, it will not result in me buying more zen, or buying more dilithium off the exchange. So they can nerf, and I'll continue to doff as I already do, with…

Season 10 is floating Wizards with magical wands and assorted Dungeon-Dweller minions :D
-
Ditto, there are some really snazzy effects I'd like to have but the actual piece is meh (or at least, meh for that particular build).
-
I agree. There is no reason why the trophy slots could not be added somewhere, even if it's a basic addition such as a trophy room like in the Belfast interior.
-
How about "Two and a Half Reunificationists"? A Vulcan, a Romulan, and an adopted Klingon kid. And hilarity ensues...
