Find a fleet without it. I have been in the same fleet for several years now and have had zero interactions with anyone in it, which is exactly how I like it. I am willing to bet that you can get an invite to a dozen fleets exactly like mine within 5 minutes of asking around on the forums.
You fail to mention that while they aren't increasers, they aren't decreasers, either. The thing about subscription services is that maintainers are more valuable than increasers in the logn run. After all, a show that increases for 12 weeks but drops all of the increase at the end of the run (or worse, increases for a…
I'm just hoping that now that we are seeing ships promoted to canon that Polar Lights gets onboard and makes some decent scale models of ships. 3D prints and tiny toys are one thing, but a lighted 1/1000 or 1/350 resin model kit is still the shelf king.
By that logic, changing the layout and stats of the ship doesn't make it new. Doesn't that mean every ship you buy past the first one is a new skin for the ship you already have?
Even without buying bank and inv slots, after 12 years I am maxed out from the free giveaways, and I am even capped on ship slots now. It's getting harder and harder to prune stuff I can't reclaim that's bound to account, so this is awesome news - 72 more bank slots will last quite a while. It's pretty easy to see why they…
In profile, it looks like they were trying to make a ship shaped like the Federation chevron symbol. Ah, well - it's free. Not sure what people were expecting, really. They don't make event ships to compete with C-Store ones, let alone box or promo ones. They are just "good enough" to get by with if you don't want to spend…
Not sure how this is on topic, but there have been dealerships there for as long as I can remember and I just turned 50. Some of them had signage that clearly dated from the 50's and 60's - the VW dealership sign was actually pretty famous locally.…
I just did a search for "Bernicia ship" and came up with several hits, notably a passenger ship that delivered colonists to New Zealand in 1848 and a research vessel operated by Newcastle University from the 1970s through 2011 in addition to the one you found. I am assuming the name in the STO list came from the research…
It waits a month before it starts getting shirty with you and doing the center screen notifications, and then waits another couple weeks before it forces the reboot. So if it does it, you have gone at least a month and a half ignoring dozens of notifications and dismissing pop ups rather than spending 30 seconds just…
If you say one or the other, "that guy" always has to pipe in and point out they are totally different OSes, so I just head them off now :expressionless:
The dark ages is right, and running Win7 is basically spreading the plague. There are multiple exploits in the wild right now that target Win7 (and Server 2008) that are in active use. If you are still running it and actively using it on the Internet, there's a decent chance that you're already contributing to a botnet…
How DARE Cryptic drop support for an OS that has been EOL for close to 2 years now and is nothing more than one giant security exploit at this point! HOW DARE THEM, I say!!
Yep I am aware. There are only 2 released so far, and it goes live tomorrow at 10, immediately after maintenance. So unless they release them tonight for some reason, it will be after we can buy them before we know the stats on the last two. I am betting Kael set up some auto-scheduled job to post the other two and hasn't…
Players don't come back and play because a new system goes into a game; they come back and play because there is content, and they've proven that content draw is most effective when they throw some celeb VOs into it. The people who care about systems and advanced gameplay elements are the people who show up anyway, so…
I pretty much expected this. I think a lot of people misunderstand the marketing reason for the all ships playable unlock - it's not for KDF players, it's for Feds. It opens up a list of ships that Fed players don't have so they can buy them. Cryptic wrote off the other three factions a long time ago; nothing is going to…
Other than the fact that it's a ship I don't have in any form and my completionist genes are screaming at me to get it, the pack isn't overly appealing to me at $60. I could talk myself into the last one because the price was low enough compared to a T6 fleet ship to justify (plus being able to slap I.S.S. on all my ships…
So, the Mirror Strike Wing Escort [T6] (aka Mirror Engle) is missing the option to apply an experimental update - no button present, like it was a T4 or lower. I wonder how many other ships got missed somehow?
in A scenario based on Pearl would be better served as an exercise in how to better prepare for the attack, or how to train personnel to respond once it's underway more effectively. Repeatedly running the actual scenario so that you can't change the outcome? Not very useful.
The thing to remember about this design is that it goes AAAALLLL the way back to the beginning, when the game was rushed out on a timeline that anyone in the industry would call insane due to the transfer of the Trek license to Cryptic at what was essentially the last minute. They made the decision to allow duplicate…
There is usually a surge of people on when new content is added, like an expansion. Fleets get formed during those times, but you are not likely to get any bites the rest of the time. Your best bet is to go into Drozana and ask if anyone has a fleet you can join.
Yeah, long ago. Last time a ship was added there was before Delta Rising. They do closed beta testing on ships now. Edit: The last time they added a ship was the Ar'Kif, back in 2013 (I can't remember if it was the original, or when they added the hangar a couple months later). It hung out in the console for several months…
Literally everything is problematic for people who can't do a thing enough to make that thing work for them. Staying alive is problematic when you can't breathe enough, for example.
Listening to them a few more times, it sounds to me like it might be James Cromwell, and maybe this could be Zefram Cochrane? His ending in TOS was a bit nebulous, after all.
