meanwhile, i managed to explore the entire galaxy (aside from a few isolated unclaimed systems which i think have guardians in them) in stellaris in less than 100 years...of course, that's mainly because of shared sensor data with all the other empires that actually joined the galactic union thingie when it was founded…
that already exists - that's what the button under your list of commissioned boffs is for - it only shows in sector and non-queue system space, though
actually, another thing i would add to STO - and star trek in general could use more of them too...more megastructures so far the only one we have is a dyson sphere...how about we get some variety there, like a ringworld? halo does not have a monopoly on those or maybe a matrioshka brain, a penrose sphere or even something…
bounty hunting, piracy, trading & mining (with an appropriate dynamic economy) and just as a more personal thing...the ability to visit Sagittarius A*, even if just for screenshot opportunities or event horizon diving
regular cloak doesn't work, battle cloak doesn't work, enhanced battle cloak doesn't work...the next logical SCIENCE! experiments to conduct are scimitar battle cloak (with and without the fire while cloaked console active) and pseudo-cloaks (things like intel team, mask energy signature and the 'stealth when no move'…
whether they could do it or not would depend entirely on how they have the effect set up...if they did it in a smart way (which they almost never do for these things), they could probably tie it to a new vanity slot or even a toggleable power tray button that said, if they CAN do it with a minimum of fuss, i would…
on the other paw, mysteries are designed to be solved...but at the same time, all the mysteries of the universe should not be solved in the span of a few hundred years
that's a possible thing they could do - abolish the position of chancellor entirely and just go back to using an emperor of course, that runs into the same problem as martok, adet'pa or anyone else with celebrity VA - kahless' VA may not be available when they need him for future content
i seriously hope not...because that would mean humanity created the borg, even if it was an accident and they were completely unaware of it...bad enough they created Control, who at least managed to be stopped before it could cause galaxy-wide devastation - at least in one timeline
who says she DIDN'T go through the rite of ascension? we don't know how many days passed between gorkon's death and the khitomer conference - might've been enough time to have performed the rite
i might've thought the planet of 'sentient' (supposed to be sapient, but so many people TRIBBLE that up even today) machines was a cybertron easter egg - except TMP came out several years before transformers
alex: that goes for EVERYONE here *he adds without turning, yet nick can still feel the sensation of eyes boring into him, making it clear he was the primary recipient of the admonition*
alex: if you see any valuable-looking objects setting on pedestals in the middle of a room...do NOT touch it - i don't want to get squashed by a giant rolling boulder
alex: it means within the week - it depends on how long it'll take for kira to stop being furious enough to actually stand being in odo's presence for an entire mission, but it shouldn't take her longer than that to cool off, considering no one on bajor actually died in the hur'q attack thanks to our unparalleled…
alex: yes...odo found an ancient dominion research station hidden in the masan system - it dates back to the dominion's founding, possibly even before, and he thinks there might be some information about the hur'q there - because the female changeling clearly knows more than she's letting on he's still gathering up the…
(i'm waiting on rattler to find out which of the two end up clinging to the ceiling, if either do and the less said about the xyston, or that movie in general, the better)
(sounds like pre-disney star wars...their tech was also stagnated as hell, but they still had some seriously advanced TRIBBLE even back thousands of years - and tech did actually start accelerating a bit around the period of the galactic civil war all the way up to the legacy era)
(yeah, that's deliberate - they're like the goa'uld; they don't want the rank-and-file knowing how TRIBBLE works and possibly rebelling against them)
they did it that way because they can't upgrade a character-bound flag on an item to an account-bound one as easily as they can downgrade it - they stated that once in the past, but don't ask me to dig it up
i don't know if this was a deliberate choice or not, but the ba'ul AP weapons apparently trigger their refraction per shot, as does the additional chain off the ba'ul set needless to say, if ba'ul AP comes in single cannons, those particular cannons at least will blow any others out of the water - of course, turrets will…
bigger bandwidth hogs would be america, who voted net neutrality out on a federal level, and since america is significantly bigger than great britain, that means more hogs per capita
