I'm game for anything that brings Ronnie Grau back into one of your stories, Shevet. I know she probably needs a break every now and then, but her personality (like that of your Pakled character) is right up my alley. Even better - maybe you should have Ronnie and the Pakled team up. If that happened, I would be after you…

Astanoss: Complete agreement. I'd rather have static stance than load/save, if I had to choose between them. Will static stance return, though? I wish I knew. I'll keep hoping that it will. Maybe I'll get lucky someday and Holo Leetah will say "Static Stance!" instead of "Dabo!"

I remember a year or two ago, saying to myself, "I think I can finally start saving up money for a lifetime subscription to STO." I actually wanted to, after only spending $50 back in Fall 2012 (and nothing since then). But then I thought, "What's the point?" There is almost no dynamic (i.e., at least a slight randomness)…

Reminds me of doing the Klingon mission "Alpha" (you can only do it as a KDF character). When you're at the crash site, you need to find six dead bodies. Bodies 1-4 are easy to find, body 5 is in the trees nearby, but body 6 is the one that you have to ignore the green circle in the mini-map. Because body 6 isn't in that…

And as I said in another post, it isn't just the save/load function removal that "bugs" me. But when you name your character, wouldn't it be nice to have that name consistently shown in the usual locations in-game, rather than being switched to some other name by the software and no way - outside of paying for zen, or…

#savethefoundry on-screen buttons and/or on Kickstarter (pledge either money or time/effort or both). (hides from BMM)

Not exactly. I've had a reward item not appear in a character's inventory (or overflow bag). My two Romulan characters finished "Installation 18" on Nimbus III. I chose the "pirate fleet" reward each time ... the reward doesn't appear in the inventory for either character (or in their overflow bags) ... but when I try to…

I guess I'd better go watch that video and pay close attention to what is said in it. I wasn't blaming Kael. He's obviously doing the best he can. What used to be called "being between a rock and a hard place". Previous CMs didn't have it any easier, being the go-between a vocal forum community and the powers-that-be. I…

I guess I encounter some of the weird bugs that most (if not all) of the other players don't encounter. Lucky me.

Completely agree with you, Badgerpants. Also, what happens after you make any number of changes (anything from a few to many of them) to the generic character and (because of the lack of a save function), you get dumped back to desktop or the power goes out where you live? No save means you couldn't even save a portion of…

Is the estimate of "months" direct from one of the programmers, or from a Cryptic spokesperson forced to say whatever PWE tells them to say? I'd rather hear from one of the programmers, to be honest. And it doesn't have to be a long, in depth answer from them. Just up front and honest. "This is the current time estimate…

Even with traits slotted and skills set up as best I can, I tend to avoid space battles above level 50. Especially at level 65. Even at Mk XII, most space battles tend to be suicide missions for me (not just vs. Borg) ... though, somehow, if my ship is a carrier, the hangar pets do just fine. Maybe I just need to find a…

I guess it depends on what type of computing system is most popular in Asia right now. Which might not be desktop PCs or laptops anymore. It might just be tablets, cell phones, and consoles. After all, what works in Asia should work in the rest of the world, right? We're all humans. Why *shouldn't* we do everything the…

Maybe one of the programmers at Cryptic could give some input in this thread and explain how difficult the transition would be. They wouldn't have to cite lines of code (which wouldn't make sense to someone like me, since my programming skills are 40 years old and in BASIC, not C, or Turbo C, or C++, or Python, or Assembly…

Update: Also, you do not get a free rename to fix the game randomly choosing a different character name than the one you chose. You have to pay either 250 or 350 zen to fix a mistake not of your own making. I've already reported this in an in-game bug report today. Please - did someone really test all this on Tribble…

Since this is related to this thread: I've just found a bug (which I've just reported in-game) after creating a character using the new GUI. Yesterday, I created a female Pakled character named Pellial Karili. Today -- lo and behold -- in the character list her name is now Dillumor. Excuse me? That wasn't the name I chose…

*heavy sigh* Oh yay. The Foundry got deep-sixed in favor of MtG. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. Yet *another* fantasy game. Like there aren't enough of those already in existence. I guess I'll keep playing STO until it dies, and hope for the eventual creation and release of STO v2. (Just so you know, I'm a fan of…

I imagine that exploration clusters have about as much chance of returning as the Foundry (bugs, poor UI, etc.) has of being allowed to continue beyond April 11. Or of a snowball surviving in a very very very hot place. Btw, I never encountered any Borg dynasties when the exploration clusters still existed. But I did have…

Glad to hear it. Hope they give you great memories. (shuts Pandora's box before the last thing escapes) We'll always have hope. For ten years between ST:TOS and ST:TMP, fans never gave up hoping. Let's just hope the Foundry doesn't take that long to come back, though. What did the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. say on…
-
It might be too time-consuming, but I wish Cryptic could send each Foundry author a copy of the code for one of their missions. Something to say, "Sorry we had to send the entire Foundry to the abbatoir, but at least you'll have this as a souvenir."

Like Quark's shark-like teeth? "Mind if I have a bite?" Quark asks his ex-wife. "Be my guest," she replies with a grin.

I think the British would say "bugger all". Btw, "bugger", I've learned from a book about the history of English, apparently is a corruption of "Bulgar". Granted, I didn't use the Foundry much, I do remember three of the missions I played. Two were: "Risa Hotel" and "Risa Beach House". Wish they could've been imported into…

Update: Bad news this time. The bug has spread to two other characters, my second KDF-allied Romulan (account: Tal'eth@pomonagrange#3097) and a Fed alien (account: Thalia@aleytys#8315 (I think the number is correct). Will report back if it affects any other characters. So far, it's only happened in Solenae Dyson Sphere and…

Moi aussi, moi aussi. (Btw, I'm American, but have dabbled in other languages.) Maybe some of the Foundry authors can team up (via email if necessary) to brainstorm some ideas on how to rebuild or reverse-engineer the Foundry and make it usable outside of STO? And - most importantly - make it absolutely clear that Cryptic,…

I've encountered them in forums, whining about how much "work" they have to do to earn their rewards. Why can't they just blow through something like the Crystalline Catastrophe in a minute or less and get the full reward(s)? You'd think they were stuck at, say, age 10 (or less) and never grew up. I remember a few years…

I've been reading these messages, and decided it was time to stick my oar in (at the risk of having this entire post deleted by a moderator): Sounds like killing off the Foundry is like NBC killing off ST:TOS in 1968, only to find that there were fans passionate enough to fight for another season (which they got, and then…

Is this the promotion at level 10, or level 20? If the former, you first have to do the Khitomer Accords mission (I think it's called "Turning Point"), then go to New Romulus' shuttlebay to claim your level 10 ship. In-game, it sounds as if you can do the promotion first, but you can't. If the latter, I don't think I've…

The perennial problem is this: The more the troll annoys (and/or torments) someone, the more the troll enjoys it. Especially since these days they can do it practically with impunity and (supposed) superiority, and (worst, in my opinion) from a position of anonymity (how will they be tracked down and punished for what…
