(Also...I don't know what's scarier - the fact that the sign on the right might exist, or the fact that I'm 3 days shy of 31 and I COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD IT!
-
(Didn't Brunt take it? If Quark still has it...WHAT THE TRIBBLE WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF JUMPING BRUNT?)
-
*Marrok shoves Brunt away into the cadre of mercenaries* Thanks for the trip - I'll be leaving now. *he then waves cheekily to Madran and the toppled mercs before grabbing Janri with one paw, his Nagual with the other and firing on a very specific part of the ship - whereupon the entire ship immediately loses power, the…

So, France, Russia and America, respectively.
-
So, I just thought of something...did they update any of the death FX on Romulan ships?
-
Gallian? Like Gallia, the region of Europe named by the Romans (I think it was the Romans) occupying what is now France - and possibly some other countries?
-
(So, if anyone here knows anything about Paypal, I have a question - if I do business with someone who has an account and they send me a payment invoice...can I still pay that invoice despite not having an account of my own? A few quick searches seem to suggest that, yes, I can...but I have no idea how old those various…

*And that's Marrok's to leap into action - literally, as he utilizes the power of his lower leg muscles to push off against the deck plating and leaps directly at Brunt at speeds fast enough to appear as a blur to most average sapients*
-
They have a deal with Cryptic for showing off new ships and things - getting in cozy with a game company obviously brings perks that regular players don't get (as it should, as that relationship had to be built up over years of them showing themselves to be a trustworthy partner), as does being a developer for that…
-
Seriously? If that guy wants a 'key' Indian Captain...make one - even with all the recent sidekicking and idiot-ball-holding nonsense the player has been forced to endure the past few years, they're still very much a key person; if it matters that much to them, they can make a character that looks Indian and has an Indian…
-
Well, as SaurianLizard mentioned, this new damage system isn't fully tied to HP level like the current one is, but the severity of the damage dealt to your ship...which actually just made me think of something really hilarious - for a tank that's damn near immortal playing in elite content, they're going to be having all…
-
Well, for your ship, it doesn't matter much because you won't be doing anything anyway until the respawn timer comes off CD...but those effects aren't going to be just on YOUR ship.
-
And yet constantly being presented with this as an issue across multiple games, other developers creating new MMOs never actually seem to think 'Gee, maybe we should set up our VFX system so individual effects can be turned down, or off entirely.' - or they do, and they're the ones getting hurled out the window like that…
-
Well, now that they've spent time on this, here's hoping the next time-waster critically-important project they take on is fixing up ship hardpoints so turret builds don't have the fire of 6-8 different turrets all come from the EXACT same firing point.
-
Ship damage and explosion FX is the only part of the game where I would suggest developers go crazy...but since they've done that literally everywhere else too, this was basically a wasted change because it'll almost never be seen by any halfway decent player.
-
Marrok: You'd think with ears that enormous, he'd be able to hear himself digging a hole he won't be able to climb out of, but no one ever accused Ferengi of being intelligent in matters not involving money...no offense to you three. *he adds to Quark, Nog and Leck, the latter primarily because he's a bloody psycho*
-
Repulsor Burst also works for knockback on demand...and has a way shorter CD than Telekinetic.
-
And that's another unrealistic thing TOS foisted on us - though that one at least is shared across the whole spectrum of sci-fi - acting like a massive ship can lose enough atmosphere to become untenable to supporting life through a few small breaches in the span of a few minutes or hours when such a thing would actually…
-
Marrok: *glancing over at nick* Why do people keep making the mistake of thinking that because the Federation as a whole is devoted to ideals of peace that all of its members also must be equally as devoted? *he then turns to Brunt, glowering determinedly* Humans have a saying, Brunt; Si Vas Pacem, Para Bellum - 'If you…
-
(I don't think the torpedo tubes can open fast enough to allow for a vent launch - this is where building magnetic accelerators into the tubes would've come in handy. Or just cheese it by opening the doors and having a field up, then building up pressure inside the sealed tube before dropping the field. Or go all Jedi…
-
I don't know why people keep bringing up that US Navy nonsense as if it has any bearing on Star Trek - it does not; there was literally an Admiral in command of a starship at the Battle of Sector 001. That whole thing of Admiral = desk job thing hasn't even been true for the entire existence of the rank.
-
Marrok: He cannot possibly be this stupid, can he, uncle Nick? He does realize there are several anti-personnel turrets tied to the neural link in my head right behind him that will absolutely shred him if he gets tagged as a hostile...right? And that's not even factoring in this railgun here that would utterly liquify…
-
Well, that's okay - even when the overall ship was fine for the most part, hits in the right spot have caused absolute havoc through the show.
-
(r/Holup...Tetryons being linked to cloaking technology only showed up once in all of Star Trek...in The Die is Cast, shortly before a Keldon decloaked right in front of DS9. Nick...is there a Cardassian ship out there?)
-
Well, Borg cubes disintegrated by Omega Plasma torpedoes or the Dark Matter torpedo also explode as normal after several seconds (and deal core breach damage so it's not just a VFX glitch), so...business as usual.
-
https://sto.fandom.com/wiki/Legendary_Galaxy_Dreadnought_Cruiser - It may not have the word 'Mirror' in its name, but it's definitely a mirror ship because it A: Has the mirror skin as default - B: Has a trait with a very Terran name and C: came from the Mirror Universe Bundle.
-
The spider section is where spammable AoE really shines - along with Pahvo crystals, but those shine everywhere.
-
I'd actually like to see them use a similar system to how the damage was rendered in Bridge Commander...though, like piloting from the bridge itself, that's a feature I know will never come to this game.
-
Yeah, it's almost like to cover the fact they couldn't have damage showing on the physical models for every little fight, they made up a bunch of unrealistic TRIBBLE about how Starfleet ships are nigh-invincible, and now that CGI is a thing, they can do things properly now.
