If people don't want to do certain queues they won't. Merely preventing them running their favorites as often only drives them away from queues completely. You'd have to remove all other content for this to work, but then people would just go elsewhere and play Neverwinter for 6 hours while their queues cool down. How does…

It gets all their alts on an account. It doesn't get all their accounts.

Does USS even make sense on a Time Ship? It's like calling the Enterprise 1701 a boat; would UTS not be more appropriate?
-
I don't know whether blocking "works" or not, but if we block "username A" when he returns as "username B" he's not on our block list because that wasn't the user we blocked. So we block "username B" as well, and that works until the following day when he shows up as "username C".
-
That's true. But depending on where that bad connection is, entire counties worth of players could be experiencing terrible lag if they're all routed through that chokepoint. International connections for example all exit their "local" webzone at the same chokepoint, and enter the "target" webzone at the same point. If…

Regarding Fleet Admirals... well, IF the level cap will be raised at any point (it may not be, you're past the point of getting skill points at 50, and don't need more actual levels for specialisations) we'd need a rebalance there, otherwise the player would be pretty close to owning or being President of Starfleet; a daft…

>The NX01 is no more a Federation Enterprise than the HMS Enterprize was. Thats why it's never mentioned. Hence the hoop jumping I mentioned. And as I continued trying to point out, that opens the door for more Enterprises to suddenly come out of the woodwork. I mean, we know NX01 was pre-Federation so a later ship must be…

A chat bot that bans websites is why you see people type "VV VV VV" instead of "WWW". Ban that and they'd find another way.

They most likely are banned quite frequently. There has to be a reason why this person creates new accounts every day and uses censor bypass methods in their spam. Not only that but only a PS4/XBox One can connect to those networks and only one connection can be made per console. Consider now how many bots there are being…

I have to agree on the interiors - a whole lot of work has been spent making them but why? Once you've sniffed around the corridors and rooms, and realised everything that can be done there can be done easier elsewhere, there's little reason to go back and when you do it's just to the bridge. I know the interiors are used…

Enterprise-B was that Excelsior Class from Star Trek Generations. There isn't a whole lot cemented down into canon about that ship, but it lasted a reasonable amount of time so there's nothing to suggest it's fate was different from any of the others (destroyed in action). Enterprise NX01 is still in a museum somewhere if…

On console at least, we have many players willing to play the PVE queues. When all's said and done it's not all that hard getting a queue going if you're patient, but our biggest problem is people not pressing "Ready" to start the mission. That happens 9 out of 10 attempts and makes the queues seem deader than they are.…

There's no way to block them using any conventional method: they're too well funded. - You block the user, they create more user accounts. - You block the console, they sell the banned console and buy new ones. - You IP ban them, they use a proxy, VPN or relocate their business to get a new IP. - You put in an autoban that…

I play as male. It hardly matters to me really, but I see no overwhelming reason to go female and break the habit of a lifetime of always playing my own gender. That, and GameFAQs made me aware of the wierd fringe out there who start behaving wierdly around female avatars, who then take real offense if they discover you're…

As console won't be getting Foundry at all I can't really comment in detail - but you guys on PC are getting the graphics upgrade we currently have on console. That makes a world of difference overall, so I think you'll find those ships themselves don't need any further updates themselves just yet.
-
To be honest I think this poll's suffering from not being properly explained. It looks like some people are voting from an "in universe" perspective while others are answering from the point of view of if you were the producer of a new Star Trek series and were given the idea of wiping out a race to shake things up. Like…

You can report him to Sony. Believe it or not, Sony consider RMT an incredibly serious breech of ToS since the conditions they will have made Cryptic agree to is that all microtransactions MUST go through the PS Store (so Sony get a cut). Cryptic will be expected to do everything they can to police their game and prevent…

Kobayashi Maru... to ACCESS elite content? That mission's meant to be an unwinnable situation - so what do you do? Hand everyone a pass? Kirk only "beat" it because he cheated, so I suppose it would make more sense for the system to auto ban anyone who survives. Restricting elite content to cheats only seems wrong on so…

If you had the power to exterminate and you did, news would quickly spread. That would make it easier for other races to exterminate you given the same choice since they'd be "doing the universe a favor" either as spreaders of peace or to become the next most feared force. There are always repurcussions no matter how well…

You can pretend to be offline on PS4, but that feature's just there so you don't get bombarded with PM's from your friends list if you just want to solo for a while. It doesn't stop others seeing you ingame nor does it stop you seeing global messages or player chat. Heck, it doesn't technically stop the private PM's…
-
If it's MMOTANK, your only real option is to block his PSN. He makes new accounts every day so you'll see him reappear after a few hours or so. They have the resources to bot multiple games and possibly rotate or spoof IP addresses to avoid stronger bans, so it's going to take legal action by Cryptic or Sony to shut them…

You know there's nothing in the game that can't be earned for free by using the old trick of selling refined Dil, right? Make 5 characters, have them each refine 8K Dil a day - I bet it would still take forever to earn enough but it *is* theoretically doable. Risky strategies would speed it up too, like the old tactic of…

Yes; I'd suggest a fouth "Zoom Relative" option, which always zooms in close enough that your ship physically appears the same size onscreen whether it's a Galaxy Dreadnaught or a Shuttlecraft, and have that size adjustable via a slider in the options. Currently Zoom, when it works, is not relative: the camera moves a set…

Seems smooth 99% of the time. What I have noticed is the occasional spot where the game has major performance problems at times: DS9, Spacedock and Battlezone are the main trouble spots for rubberbanding, but there are also times the sound becomes choppy and stuttery for presumably similar performance reasons: the mission…

* Easier comparisons between equipment. Think Neverwinter: a phaser that does 100 DPS should say +10 DPS when compared with one that does 90 DPS. * The ability to "lock" items from sale would be nice. One I have a nice EVA suit or set part I hate the idea that if I'm not careful they could be inadvertantly vendored off. A…

The whole "time can be rewritten" and "fixed points" concepts are just Doctor Who's answer to the Prime Directive, or indeed the Temporal Prime Directive. The only real difference is that Trek tends to use altered timelines and past events to set up an arc that is resolved within the plot so that things continue as before.…
-
I suppose we're all different. Star Trek isn't "real", Doctor Who isn't "real", so the actual "truth" of what we call canon can only be suggested to us. We can pick and choose, ignore parts of official canon and suppliment it how we feel most comfortable - since both franchises exist to be enjoyed not stressed over. We…

First there was Star Trek Nemesis, now there's S.T.A.R... I wonder how long it will be before Captain Wesker shows up :)
-
That changed a while back. Only the early New Who Cybermen were from Pete's World. Newer ones from Matt Smith's era on are Mondasian... but you wouldn't know that from looks alone.
-
Doctor Who fans have been campaigning for years to get the original style Cybermen back, updated of course. The "Cybusmen" we've had since 2005 are really rather lame, and their chunky 1980's counterparts were embarrasing to say the least. So DW got the basic idea down first, then failed to capitalise on that by going in a…
