Nothing. It wasn't his fault, after all!
-
Yeah, I am pretty happy with Andor, too. It might not include Shran, but the actors have delivered a pretty great performance, the story works well and it really has atmosphere. Never before has the Empire actually felt that oppressively evil.
-
I am looking forward to seeing him in game. And maybe shooting him. But only because he's the evil version. I never hated Wes, or Wil.

What are your thoughs on the Competitive Reputation and the Competitive Task Force? Do you have a list of power or trait ideas on interesting effects and anomalies from the canon shows and movies when you design a new ship and its console or power, or does the ability usually develop organically with the ship? Did anyone…
-
That was quite the episode. I hope we get the Romulan beauties in game, too.
-
Agreed. I think if you look at the different actually things named as "tiers" in Star Trek Online, you will find the differences between them is usually much higher. A higher tier ship has more hull, shields, consoles, bridge officer and console slots than any similar ship at a lower tier. Tier 6 didn't just bring us…

For the as the thing we play, it's a minor thing, but for the game and its place in the history of the Star Trek franchise, this is pretty significant. Computer game content barely stands above fan content in terms of canonicity, to have just a ship from a game being canonized is a serious accomplishment. And it's also…

I don't feel the discussion in DSC 1 was about whether you could do that to a planet, but whether you could to that to a people. It's mass murder of sapient life-forms. Genesis doesn't change that. From a strategic point of view, a neutron bomb might seem an easier sell than a regular nuclear bomb, since their might be…
-
The target-tracking turrets on the ship look interesting. I really hope some old ships (Orion Marauder T6 version when?) will eventually get retrofitted it, but it might also open up new opportunities for future vessels. The ship itself. I am really tempted. I am a sucker for the 32nd century and Iconian style ships with…
-
One thing to consider: Genesis might look like a terrifying weapon to us, here on earth, and an amazing accomplishment. And it is. But when it comes to weapons research in the 23rd century, it might not be as exciting. There are probably many ways to destroy a planet. Genesis isn't neccessarily a better way to do it than…

I suspect, jonsills, that a lot of the early problems of STO are not really relevant anymore to new gamers that could come into the game. But what could be relevant is that it's just a 10 year old game and even with some noteworthy upgrades to the engine and the models, it cannot hide its age. And it's not really just the…
-
It doesn't really canonize Star Trek Online, because that's really not much to go by, but it definitely feels like a nod. There is no mention of any Iconian survivors in Star Trek canon until that point. I wonder if that could suggest they will try to keep the STO era of the Star Trek timeline mostly off-screen to give STO…
-
I am not sure if its a problem of the future, and more a problem of the present that anything vaguely ring-shaped leads to comparison to toilet seats. I wonder if that's the origin for the word "edgelord" - people sitting on the edge of their toilet seat or porcellain throne.
-
Remove/Deactivate the Injury system entirely. Does nothing but clutter my inventory with repair components and the only people affected by notably are people that don't know better or are trying to troll the rest of the team. Switch the Team Loot System from the Greed/Need/Pass to Round-Robin. No one actually needs…
-
Scientifically speaking, a protostar makes very little sense compared to a micro black hole. Hypothetically speaking, youc an compress pretty much any amount of matter to a density that it will collapse in on itself. And thanks to Hawking radiation, you can even explain why it might be a powerful energy source (though it…
-
That was a sucktastic decision. If you can't manage to release your damn service on the time you release a new series, maybe pick a different series as your gateway drug? I mean, there will be Picard next year, Star Trek New Voyagers, a new series of Lower Decks, and maybe you also have some other new shows that might be…
-
I suck at describing things, but it basically goes like this: The central large element shifts and turns so that the top (tooth's crown) is now the front, and the two "legs" (or tooths' roots) point back. The larger detached wing surfaces go before the crown (rounded parts in the front), and the smaller detached wing…

Well, going by what little she publically talked about, she experienced quite some sexism and mysogony on the DS9 set, mostly due to Berman (stuff like talking about "insufficient" breast size and so on). She wasn't respected as actor as much as some fellow cast members. She didn't actually want to leave, she wanted to…
-
Interesting tidbit: The ship has a custom Rock & Roll animation. Looks pretty cool (and kinda better than the ship itself.)
-
Well, it could explain why the Enterprise D when colliding with the other ship in the time loop episode did experience a warp core breach, even though the other ship actually hit the warp nacelles, which is quite a distant from the warp core. The hit to the nacelle might have triggered a subspace event that resonated with…
-
Nothing is more hopeful and optimistic about the future than starting with a bunch of orphaned kids enslaved to work in a prison colony. Nah, I like it. And the Protostar is hot, and reminds me a lot of the original Star Cruiser. Of course, the Star Cruisers are way too big to make the Protostar a variant of it. But just a…
-
I totally like the idea of ships that look like buildings or stations. Because why would they need to look anything else. That's why we can things like Borg Cubes.
-
Space in Star Trek is even more dangerous than it is in reality. You have subspace anomalies, crystalline entities, god-like beings that can basically snap a finger and eradicate your species in a fit of rage, non-linear-time wormhole aliens that can remove fleets, and we have warp drives causing subspace damage that could…
-
Some hint on why there is a Tellarite in the Delta Quadrant: The cast's Tellarite mentioned a food smelling just like "on the sleeper ship". So the Tellarite might have send a sleeper ship into the Delta Quadrant and it got hijacked. Since he isn't aware of the Federation or humans, it wouldn't be surprising if the ship…
-
I really don't think Matt is spinning in his grave. He had reasons for his designs, but he also had a very clear goal to get away from the rocket ship or flying saucer aesthetic and they wanted stuff like the spindly pylons to show off that this ship is something highly advanced and uses technology we can't even imagine.…
-
Dang, a cliffhanger! Great episode.
-
Isn't this more a topic for Ten Forward? I mean, it's nothing that exists in Star Trek Online for now, and the OP doesn't seem to ask for it to be added to Star Trek Online either. Though I'd be in favor of it. Some new alien and Ferengi parts would certainly be nice. For some reason, the Ferengi's face looks familiar. As…
-
Sounds like it would be a great change for us players. Of course, the beancounting department could have determined that the uneven popularity of prize ships actually means they can occassionally sell more Zen/Keys that way. They don't care if you buy 400 keys before you want the most powerful ship or you want it because…
-
That was a great episode, definitely. Some neat development on the whole Pakled situation. A completely out of control Vulcan maverick and an actually honorable Klingon. Wonder if any of them will be recurring characters, or even become part of the cast.
-
I wonder if something is up with Boimler since his duplication. Or at least with this Boimler. There was also that incident where for some reason the computer wouldn't accept his codes (clerical error? really?), and I think one other instance but I don't remember what it was.
