  • Heavy damage to the outer hull and fluctuations in the power grid. Which was doing absolutely nothing to actually stop the Borg Cube. You apparently missed everything else where the Cube was happily slaughtering ships all around it with no sign of being particularly inconvenienced. You can see it. Frakes even went to the…
  • In STO, it doesn't make much sense why the Borg haven't attacked the Dominion. The Borg have some Von Neumann qualities in technically being able to send a single ship and go on an assimilating spree that ends with fleets. The Borg wouldn't be thinking the conventional way in terms of committing resources, and really…
  • And they weren't wrong. CoX was, according to the devs, doing great under the F2P model and it meant they were able to continually make stuff people actually wanted. Which makes a happy feedback loop of making money and making cool stuff. CoX is never a good example of anything at all though, except illogical publisher…
  • My computer picked now to start imploding. I can't run any game with this thing you call 'graphics' until the new one arrives. I didn't even get druuuuuuuuuuunk! *sob* :(
  • Over the past few months, all F2P MMO games on Steam have taken a hit, a period of time which coincides almost exactly with holidays and Steam sales. There's no polite way to get the point across without f***ing DUH.
  • Anyone who thinks we had, or have, the ability to obliterate ourselves with nuclear weapons even during the most heavily armed height of the Cold War is buying into the ignorant hysteria. The end of civilisation as WE know it (presuming everyone here is in a modern society and not inexplicably on a computer in a mud hut)?…
  • People never seem to realise this fact. The Borg are not a 'hive mind' and the individual is meaningless. They're overwritten with whatever the Borg actually is, which may or may not be far more than mere root commands, we just don't know, which then has access to all their knowledge and abilities against their will. If…
  • They thrive entirely and only within their own cultural audience. The model of Korean MMOs has completely bombed outside of that audience, along with every Korean MMO that tried to break out into other markets. And even in Korea they pass over their own grindfest games in overwhelming favour of League of Legends. The…
  • The whole point of the Borg when they were introduced is that they are utterly implacable and intractable. It was what made them alien, imposing, and terrifying. They investigate your ship, they cut samples out of it, they kill your crew, they do whatever they want and if you try to stop them they will simply continue more…
  • OUR fate is we keep her for another series. My reaction to this wonderful news: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4LkNoRc4cg
  • Neelix is no better or worse than anyone else in Voyager, the hate is pathetically overblown. Simple fact is that, like absolutely every one and thing in Voyager, when it sucked it plumbed new depths of suck, as opposed to the other Star Trek shows which stuck with a regular degree of sucking when they sucked. I have…
  • I so can't wait until Clara is gone. She's become the apex of the angsty whining that we've been increasingly shovelled in Doctor Who, and maybe flushing her will do something to remove the stink. She is now utterly insufferable to me.
  • ....uh....I'm leaving too. Give me women and money, it'll help me enjoy it and stay. The money is preferred.
  • Having separate ground and space sections makes sense. To be honest, it hadn't even occurred to me to change out entirely between space and ground ones, I just choose four in general and throw them in forever. Having MORE slots though is just....what? Hell, why don't we just be allowed to slot all of them, everyone wants…
  • No, Guinan explicitly ruled that out. She was an echo, not the person. She wasn't able to leave and help Picard because she was already there. There's only one Guinan, and only one Kirk. One tends a bar, the other is dead. Guinan actually directed Picard to Kirk specifically because he was someone who might be willing to…
  • I wouldn't. I'm well 'ard.
  • While the retrofit phasers are the best looking beam weapon in the game, because they don't have the colossal bloomed fatness of everything else, the sound of eight of them will start getting to you. My Guardian has eight of them, because to hell with running Fluid Dynamics eight times again. Everything Old Is New can be…
  • Some people are apparently having a really, really hard time grasping the fact that the whole point of the weapon was to completely delete things from the timeline. They never existed. By deleting itself, it ensured that it literally cannot ever exist. IT'S THE WHOLE DAMN POINT. Annorax can't build the weapon again, it was…
  • All he said was not to provoke the Borg. The Borg are incredibly destructive and their reaction to an unfettered Q using them as a plaything would be somewhat unpredictable. Said reaction could cause a great deal of death and destruction as collateral damage, which is unacceptable and would be irritating insofar as having…
  • So? You seem to think this is incredibly important and noteworthy for some reason. There is no reason whatsoever for the Enterprise to have been specifically mentioned in any of the tiny number of war reports that get spoken of in DS9.
  • In terms of F2P, I do very much like STO. The whole game is pretty much completely open for nothing. If you really care that much, you could also literally just grind Dilithium for ZEN and buy one or two C-Store ships that way (along with anything else). But even so, this game doesn't hide any actual gameplay or options…
  • Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. The Enterprise-E was likely performing combat operations. It's not as if the Enterprise is going to be explicitly mentioned all the time regarding any event it was involved in.
  • Give the relevant NPC's a million HP and damage, and kills by them count at being Elite difficulty for causing injuries. Let the problem solve itself.
  • Germany in the First World War suffered literally no infrastructural damage in its own territory, nor any degree of debilitating civilian casualties compared to the literal genocide the Founder attempted to enact upon Cardassia Prime; it was actually the influenza epidemic that did the real civilian killing. Basically the…
  • There is no difference in what graphics options there are between free and paid. It'll always look only as good as your computer can handle. I'm not aware of any FTP game in existence that restricts graphics in such a fashion.
  • I've said it before, but this is why alternative money exists. It helps hide your expenditures from you. You like to think you're smart, and you might even be, but you're still a slave to your monkey psychology and you've got to be really lucid at all times if you don't want to get played. Forget the random chance of…
  • 800 million Cardassians got killed in the last minutes of the Dominion War, and the Dominion was cheerfully throwing away entire Cardassian orders, half a million at one point, as a distraction. Galactic polities in Star Trek are heavily biased towards their home systems, Earth is always seen as the ultimate lynchpin of…
  • Rest of the planet doesn't agree with you. You cited almost the only truly serious critical successes, professional and audience, as being failures.
  • That's not a Romulan cat. The surest evidence of actual Romulan cats is that you never see a Romulan cat. Cloaking devices. They're like ninjas. Fluffy, hissing ninjas.
