^^ This. The Delta Rising missions clearly only had 1 main purpose: to slow ppl down, as Cryptic didn't want us to progress too fast (from 50 to 65). I still have traumas from it. :p Seriously, let's revamp them, so the arc becomes enjoyable, this time.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but here I don't think Darkbladejk is entirely wrong. o:) Often incurring an AFK-Penalty is an endemic issue, and no longer caused by the occasional Elite player stomping on your TFO. Simply put, if you're getting too many AFK-Penalties on Advanced, then you're simply not ready for that…
-
As Nr. 2 told Dr. Evil "This, too, already has happened." Which is to say, shortly before the change, I was selling stacks of 10 keys. Then one pushed me over the limit. Instead of blackholing my EC, though, the system gave me notice, saying something to the effect of my sale having been canceled, as I would have otherwise…
-
Not necessarily. In Cure Space Advanced (CSA), for instance, I usually fly to the right-most Cube... cloaked. I come out with a decent, fully buffed Alpha-strike; but it still takes me ca. 30 secs to kill the entire group (the price of not being an Elite player). When I then turn around, the other Cubes are sometimes…
-
Odd, I recall you playing way above Normal. :smile: But even in a hypothetical situation, I heard you need to do below 2% of the total dmg output to incur an AFK Penalty. So, if all other 4 players do 400K each, one would have to do below 8K, which is a feat, all by itself (a single pet will likely do more). The situation…
-
I offered the exact same theory, but then on page 5. ;) Knowing what to press when is key. And it's a lot more difficult than it sounds, trying to squeeze those in, inbeteen timecycles (especially when torps, with other timecycles than beams, are in the mix too). I, for one, am having dismal results with it. And somewhere…

Here she is

Well, in the current system, EC received is also considered an item (= single attachment). Point was, the proposed 'take all' button would put one equally at risk of an overflow. So, if you then need to put in a safeguard to prevent 'take all' from blackholing your EC, then you might as well just depost the EC directly,…
-
The whole purpose of playing at a higher level than you were used to, is to have it denote your own progress. When I started playing on Advanced (like 5 years ago), I did so, because I got a wee bit better. Kinda silly to punish ppl for that. ;) If peeps don't want to improve, or are unable to -- for whatever reason --…
-
O, and there's this universal endeavor that's so annoying, I forgot its name even. Where you have to go to New Romulus, have that hyper-irritating transporter system unlocked (which I never bothered with), and do various of those tasks therein.
-
I enjoy Space Barbie, and it really is disappointing. Clipping, small miststakes, they all hit my OCD.
-
Well, then you're back to square one, trying to combat a potential overflow issue -- one they now solved with the mail attachments.
-
There's no need to spin when you have inertia dampeners. And certainly not when going in a straight line. Instead, the Gorn Hunter just alternates between spinning to the left and to the right. Does Not Compute. "In what a strange bewilderment do we Awake each gorn from out the brief night's sleep."
-
Hence why I followed that sentence with "All sounds a bit too paranoid to me, though." And you always have to be at an Exchange to put stuff up, but never before did you have to go to a Social Zone to retrieve your stuff, was the point. If you are selling several hundreds of individual keys, for example, having to fly to a…
-
Good call! ;) Because that does indeed appear to be the case. When on ground, I do get the current outfit; but, in space, the outfit from the first slot. Mystery solved. B)
-
Interesting. Thx. My Colony outfit certainly isn't the first on my outfit list, though. In fact, it's the last. So, maybe it sorts on given outfit name? Or last modified? Will do some more testing.
-
Please, can you actually read what I wrote?! Only a few minutes after I made my post, I edited it, to add: I only left my initial comment, out of correctness, as it were. Hahaha, this was hilarious. BMR would feel differenty. o:) I've had many a post commented out for being too vicious towards Cryptic. :# But thanks for…
-
One particular pet peeve of mine, while we're talking character selection screen: my Captain is rarely wearing her current outfit. It's mostly some seemingly random one (or the outfit is picked and under certain conditions I am unaware of). In case of my Captain being in her Colony outfit (above), that just happened to be…
-
For starters, I believe their intentions were good. As I said earlier, though, Cryptic seems to be in the habit of fixing things that don't need fixing (certain utterly unnecessary large, red reticles on Borg shield generators leap to mind). If I want to be real cynical, I don't feel a time gate was intended per se, but…
-
Thx for the extra pictures. :) The epaulettes I wore, are from 'Lukari Mirror,' btw. But yeah, Kuumaarke is clearly wearing the NPC version of the suit.
-
It's obviously looking different in the render, but is her 'render' suit acually in the game? (With her wearing it ingame somewhere).
-
As often the case, Cryptic got it wrong for players. Her epaulettes look perfect in the design image, but, for players, her suit underneath sticks out above it (eew):
-
Unbeknownst to me, but no doubt beknownst to Cryptic, you can apparently use your scroll wheel to zoom in/out on your login screen:
-
O, I disagree... somewhat. :* Seriously, though, most of the inconsistencies (like wrong type of ship in wrong era) I rarely notice; but in this lastest Episode (played on Advanced), I was clearing room after room filled with Tholians, plus a wee boss fight. Going from chamber to chamber, then, after like 20 minutes,…
-
And my common question: will it get an upgraded bridge too?
-
This has the ring of truth to it.
-
I thought the title was 'Wilfully obtuse humans.' We're spending 3/4th of the mission disabling they're power core nodes. Then an English speaking Tholian pops in, and within 30 seconds has us convinced we should enable the power core again. And we go like 'ok, will do.'
-
Oh, now they've Gorn and done it! This gives a whole new meaning to 'No more bridges.'
-
O, size matters! :p I had to replace my Kentari boff for another SRO, as Cryptic doesn't scale 'Kentari Ferocity' (or Kemo and such), so the visual effect was consuming the entire ship! Oh, and it spins! And does it ever. Too much, really: even the weapons output spins along with it (in itself a good thing, but makes your…
-
Oh yeah, this is a real improvement! /sarcasm My bridge is an empty light-bulb now!
