I further predict that many will miss the part where it said lockbox/lobi/event/etc. ships will be free to upgrade.
-
I got that.
-
No; when I looked about two weeks ago anyway, they were missing Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
-
You'd be surprised. :D Most of the wide-area connections out there are using the same basic telco technology that's been in use for decades.
-
The intermediate hop not responding isn't necessarily a problem; that device may be configured to not respond to ICMP. The important thing is the destination; if you can get that to respond, you should be fine. Web browsing wouldn't take an alternate route, normally; routing is application-agnostic unless you're hitting…

That's not how the Internet works. They have no way of controlling the route your ISP takes to their servers. But like I said earlier, bashing Cryptic is a popular sport around here.

It won't matter. It's a network problem.
-
You may be a techie, but you're clearly not a network person. There are traceroutes right in this very thread that conclusively demonstrate the problem is well before the traffic gets to Cryptic. But I get that Cryptic bashing is a fashionable sport around here.
-
Those are awesome.

No business would ever guarantee such a thing; it would be wholly irresponsible. I myself have been running ARC for some time now, without incident. I get some of the concerns re: system resources, but most of the negative reaction seems way over the top to me.

Yep. Another example of the Willis type would be Al Pacino: a terrific actor but usually just plays Al Pacino. Whereas Gary Sinese would be a Hoffman type. I'l be watching State & Main today, a hilarious movie that nonetheless will make me rather sad. Just an amazing talent. RIP PSH.

Sweartagod that looks like Nukara near the ruins.
-
I'm having the same issue.
-
What? I mean...what? For example, it's hard to know exactly how big the Federation is. According to Memory Alpha, it was once stated to encompass over a thousand worlds. But let's say that was a low-ball estimate. A real low-ball estimate. Let's say it's not ten times that number, or 100 times that number, or even 1000…

Brandon: Can you tell us if it will still be possible to claim the runabout/fighter? I worked very late last night and couldn't log on; I figured I'd do it this morning after maintenance, but the time is going to go past the end of the giveaway...
-
Yeah, back in the Windows 95/98 days, there was an LCARS mod/skin that would totally convert the UI to an LCARS-based one. Obviously it wasn't touch-based, but still, it really, really looked and felt like LCARS. As a Trek nerd, I was all over that. As someone who needed to get things done with his computer, I uninstalled…

While I'll miss the Ask Cryptics to an extent, this was a fascinating topic and a great blog.
-
Just as an FYI, this exact same thing happened to both of my kids, and GM tickets got them both completely fixed up.
-
My laptop has a GTX 560m and it just about runs full out. I just turn shadows off, basically.
-
On a similar subject...I was away from the game for a while there; when did they add a cut scene to one of Morn's dialog options? I was in DS9 last night doing the first DS9/Cardassian mission on my Fedulan and for whatever reason went through all of the things you can ask Morn. The last one in the list triggered a pretty…
-
Is there a way to tell how much time is left before I can run this again? Sometimes I forget when I ran it the night before...
-
What's odd is that I'll start at, say, 90 out of 90...then the 90 will drop a bit...then suddenly I'm 1005 out of 1005. That stays for a while, and then suddenly I'm 48 out of 86. Drops a bit more, and then wham, disconnect. I think a lot of people are excited to test out Romulans. ;)
-
They've already stated there will be a dev blog with stats soon.
-
Uh huh. Tell us how the expansion isn't free, please.
-
So your "sayin' so" is somehow better? I lived in San Diego, as if it matters.
-
Back to name-calling, eh? These two statements are contradictory. They are QUITE interested in STO as a going concern, BECAUSE it can generate revenue and profit. Just like any other MMO. Or any other business. What's the point you're making, here?
-
OK, so you ARE going to split hairs. Fine. Cryptic has ARTISTS on staff who regularly post on the forums. Happy? Give ONE example where I did this. Except art historians also draw from facts. If it is factually known that person X drew painting Y, they don't look at the style and say, "no, it was really drawn by person Z."…
-
Since you haven't been able to demonstrate that this is possible, then it's a moot point.
-
Wrong. Cryptic has ship artists on staff, all of whom show up as "devs" on the forum. Let's not split hairs, here. How bizarre. I lived in California for a long time, and folks from southern California frequently referred to the Bay area as "Northern California." So you have no actual knowledge that STO has done this,…

Since the price is pretty comparable to what C-Store stuff costs now, wouldn't this have already happened? And the remark about kids and welfare is a total non sequitur.
