And whatever letter Enterprise they've reached in the 32nd century is probably the size of the Spear of Adun from Starcraft - and that thing is around 70 kilometers.
I prefer this - player shields are frequently useless anyway while NPC shields on larger ships are so thick you need massive levels of firepower and/or large amounts of shield pen to do any appreciable damage in a reasonable timeframe - fighting in the nebula will make it less tedious for those groups who are on the weaker…
Apparently they also boosted the base mark reward, as I distinctly recall barely getting above 100 on advanced even WITH the bonuses completed AND a mark pool active whenever I deigned to actually do this pre-revamp, but someone last night said they got around 100 WITHOUT the bonus on advanced or a pool active. Same thing…
Cryptic is a miner pulling Platinum out of the ground - they may be pulling in valuable resources, but they're still dirt-poor because the profits from that are not going to THEM.
(We never got an explanation why there was another Earth in TOS either...frankly, I think it was just the Preservers having a laugh by building a shell world copy of what to them was just a random planet they stumbled across. Or a Q having a laugh by doing the same thing, only an actual world instead of a shell world.)
Um...what media were they looking at? Cardassians haven't been overly populous in media over the past 25 years, but they haven't exactly been scarce either.
Try 'hundreds of BILLIONS' - Earth alone is blasting past 7 billion, and we're 300+ years in Star Trek's past - multiply that by a hundred or so member worlds and even factoring in that the amount of people in Starfleet are naturally going to be a small percentage of the total UFP population...you're still looking at…
I mean...it's called the JOVIAN raider - Jovian = Mars = Heavily featured in a Picard short and frequently mentioned through Picard - so thinking the ship might be from Picard is understandable, especially given how obscure it is.
From what I've heard ingame, a decent survivability base without sacrificing too much damage is 1-2 Nurse (Fed) or Medic (KDF) doffs with the hull regeneration effect (These are rather expensive, especially at purple, so these are nice to have, but may not be workable for you - also, make sure you slot them in ground…
Blame cryptic for that - they made so much of the disco rep gear GOOD that people need tons of those marks...but people shouldn't be doing SB1 anymore - THWH is not only FASTER if you get a decent player or two, because unlike SB1, there are no timers, but it also pays more.
That far in the future, they should be able to make clothing that shapes itself to any form, to the point you feel naked, for the same cost in resources as a basic outfit costs today. Hell, less than that because magic replicators.
Diablo 3 does what it does by taking literally EVERY item on whatever character you choose to send through the season and putting them in some inaccessible digital limbo until the season is over - then they dump everything in mail and you can reclaim it all then, to be combined with whatever you gathered through the season…
Yeah, it's not exactly a great selling point for future alliances when barely a few months into the first one and your side loses the entire war. As for another rep...the OCD in me wants one more to make an even number (probably Fek'ihri because Cryptic has been pushing them HARD lately), but after that...no more, and no…
If you think carriers are an AFK paradise in Swarm, watch a team of people in Ba'ul Sentry ships - you can literally set up sentry mode on those over each lane and the people behind them can just...walk away - grab a loo, make a sandwich, catch up on some reading, whatever. Works just as well in Best Served Cold guarding…
They can't include major references, but an offhand comment can be done without much legal issue - I wouldn't mind an offhand reference to his voicing Alarak, but I don't see CBS doing that - not because of possible legal issues with Blizzard, but just because it probably wouldn't occur to them - unless someone brings it…
He was only a few years younger when he voiced Alarak in Legacy of the Void and Nova: Covert Ops, and he was just as energetic in that role as he has been in any other.
People complain when a trailer spoils the whole movie - now people are complaining when a trailer DOESN'T do that. You just can't please people, so why bother trying?
I already fixed the problem for myself - it was Ghostery, and setting a wildcard Trusted Site exception for *.fandom.com SHOULD have fixed it for all wiki sites using that particular network. Of course, having those sites be marked as trusted sites means all the tracker and privacy invasion TRIBBLE isn't being blocked…
