As far as I can tell, the ONLY way to redeem the codes is to do it through the Arc Client. Sounds like another "Hey try our latest bloatware to get the cool stuff!" ploy. Sorry - not going to work. I'll install the client JUST long enough to redeem this and then I'm uninstalling it as fast as I can. I play the game through…
All I can think of in response to this OUTSTANDING display are the immortal words of Lewis B. Chesty Puller, USMC: They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. THEY CAN'T GET AWAY FROM US NOW! Awesome work, guys!
USELESS. Utterly and completely useless. There's no way to properly filter your DOFFs during mission planning. There were officer recommendations before, but you had the choice to ignore them and choose your own crew assignments. It made me feel more like a CAPTAIN managing my crew! You took control AWAY from the player…
What I don't get at first glance is - why this was even seen as a desired thing? The whole conglomeration of gaming websites under one unified look and banner such that they all look the same. Especially games with such extremely different experiences and feels as Star Trek, Champions, and the rest of PWE's line-up. I mean…
Yes, this is true. It's a transitional thing. Until they get the back-end up and the new website fixed enough that it has functionality for things like account management, character transfers, and other functions that still work on the old site, this should hopefully lessen the pain some. You won't get the latest Devblog…
And yet - will you be playing the GAME on your tablet? I think not. To play THE GAME, you need a PC. And if you have a PC, and you want to access the info on the game, are you going to whip out a separate device entirely? Or would it be more convenient to alt-tab over to the website or the forums for that info?
It's a TRIBBLE-up because they forced the change before they were ready on the back-end. They don't have hardly any of the functions that we NEED from the old site on the Arc Site. It's like the gaming equivalent of the Obamacare website. They shouldn't have pushed the change until they had ALL the back-end stuff ready to…
The Firefox version is slightly less intuitive. But once you're past the first part, it's as easy as the Chrome version. You want to click on "Tools", then go to "Add-ons" http://i.imgur.com/uprsued.png On the full tab that opens, look near the bottom-right. About in the middle there is a "Filter Preferences" button. Click…
I'm noticing this as well. And it's really annoying. Especially on New Romulus where you HAVE to have an officer with you on the ground. It looks stupid. I like to slow down to a walk as I approach a contact. Seems a little more normal that way. But my designated escort is jittering along like a hopped up meth addict who's…
*SIGH* I'd actually been having fun playing the new content over the last couple of months. Now I'm not even going to bother logging in. I have zero patience for this sort of thing. I guess I'll be back in about 6 months or so. Actually. Now seems like an excellent time to go check out SWTOR finally.
Actually, the most likely way a moon city would be constructed, especially early on in the mid-late 21st century, would be underground. In fact one of the more popular suggestions on techniques (Heinlein used it for "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress") is to use an existing crater and basically roof it over with a…
I think that's a little TOO elaborate. I'm not sure the Armstrong family would appreciate someone making up dialogue for Neil Armstrong to say. Even if it is intended to be respectful. So no, I don't think holograms, either of him or the other astronauts, would be a good idea. Now reading a plaque or interacting with…
Two old classics flying formation at K7 station. Speaking of classics - did my best here to recreate some classic camera angles. Standard Orbit 1 Standard Orbit 2 Fire Phasers Fire Photons
From the Deferi story arc. One of the most impressive planetary vistas in the game. This is the I.K.S. Hegh'Qib (Deathshadow) departing the system. Another nice shot of the U.S.S. Sagan.
The helmsman of the U.S.S. Sagan does some precision maneuvering... ...and proves why he graduated in the top 5% of his class. Captain Sandor Nex was impressed.
Just to be clear BTW - I think if Star Trek Online were to give Armstrong a tribute - I agree that the PRIMARY tributes should be on the Fed side. A site visitable on the Moon. A statue on the Academy grounds. And remember, by that time, the other astronauts will also have long passed on. Such a monument should also honor…
This is not suggested to be a major part of the museum. Most of such a museum would in fact be extolling Klingon achievements in spaceflight. But in aerospace museums I have been to (and I've been to quite a few, being something of an aerospace nerd), I've often noticed displays acknowledging the Soviet spaceflight…
Voyager does that a lot doesn't it? I'm impressed you've even heard of that one! It's a real unsung gem (despite the wibbly wobbly, timey wimey nature of its premise). If I recall correctly, the ending of the series was ambiguous precisely because of the paradox and the unraveling of it. Basically, the two main characters…
Here, you can have this spoon when I'm done with it. ("Why a spoon?" "Because it will HURT MORE, that's why!" - the only salvageable quote from an otherwise execrable film...)
The arching sky is calling Spacemen back to their trade. ALL HANDS! STAND BY! FREE FALLING! And the lights below us fade. Out ride the sons of Terra, Far drives the thundering jet, Up leaps a race of Earthmen, Out, far, and onward yet - -Robert A. Heinlein Godspeed Neil Armstrong. Godspeed.
All I've seen are the normal Fed ships that show up. Usually an Escort or a Science Ship. I did get a Typhoon once. (On another occasion a Galaxy class showed up. But that was on one of the attempts that was already failing anyway, so I didn't bother sticking around to fight that one. ) Is there one that has a chance to…
Er... What? What ship are you referring to? And... was just thinking about doing another run of Pi Canus. Should I wait on the Convoy until I find out what I'm in for? ( I keep hearing Jeremy Clarkson's voice in my head saying, "How hard could it be?" )
