Nope. It's already weird enough that they were just barely warp-capable when we discovered them, and now they suddenly have a top-of-the-line T6 science ship that's competitive with what the major powers have. Alliance help or not. I'd rather see more ships for the established species, like many other people have said…
I wouldn't mind that happening, but it's probably not going to. It'd be pretty awkward to replay old Lukari-related missions and have her in two places at the same time, after all.
There's also the "Mirror Universe". You can already get an impressive fustercluck with these three timelines alone, but there's additionally at least the timeline where Noye's family was killed. And like jonsills said, Trek has never been consistent with how it handles time travel. Sounds consistent, although there's also…
Time travel: The way time travel works in the game is that the writing treats possible timelines like parallel dimensions. That's why we have Kelvin timeline ships, and why Daniels could somehow come back unscathed after dying. That would actually cause a complete circus since there's a near-infinite number of possible…
Everything I've seen of them so far looks really cool. Nice to see more aliens that aren't just bumpy-headed humans, for one thing. I just wish Cryptic had taken this direction earlier, instead of going with the god-level Iconians and the time travel clusterfunk.
A T6 Scourge would be nice. Also, I don't know if the other Klingon subject species suffer from the same thing, but at least Nausicaan ships use KDF bridges right now, which is pretty disappointing. They should really give the ships proper species-specific bridges. Even one room ones would be better than nothing.
There's already an abundance of Klingon ships. T6 Scourge, please. It's probably the best looking ship in the game, and my Nausicaan pirate needs an updated one. While we're at it, a Nausicaan bridge would be nice. I don't even care if it's just a single room like the lockbox ships have, as long as I don't have to use…
Threats, harassment, stalking and other clearly illegal things are already illegal. Taking action when those happen is completely understandable, and doesn't violate anyone's rights. I'm all for people having religious discussion myself, though my patience with it has waned a bit in the recent years. In my experience the…
And I disagree with you. A publicly visible forum where anyone can register to post, and where their whole presence is the content of their posts, is in no way comparable to someone's house. In fact, the concept is so new that there's nothing to compare it to. The closest analogy would probably be the Opinion section of a…
I might have edited my post with some clarifications after you posted this. I'll respond to it anyway: I agree that privately owned forums have the legal right to restrict people's expression. It's however still a violation of the principle of Freedom of Expression, even though it doesn't violate any laws. The problem with…
Nadiezja, I probably share your opinion of many of the bigoted things that have been said about the bi/TRIBBLE couple in the new mission, but I have to correct you about one thing: It absolutely is. You might be thinking of the 1st Amendment which restricts the US government from violating free speech rights. Free Speech…
It can be logical, but that's entirely situational. There's nothing that makes the concept of diversity in itself inherently beneficial. The Vulcans are a monoculture themselves, where adherence to their version of logic is required, or else you risk expulsion, as demonstrated by Spock's brother Sybok, for example. That…
1) I have nothing against LGBT people, and have had TRIBBLE friends and coworkers. They deserve to live and love as much as anyone else, and that should be respected. I don't mind having people with alternate orientations in my games either, as long as they're there to support the story, and not as a some kind of a…
Right, I'll be passing on these, like I've done with all of the T6 fare so far. The ships don't look that special visually, and the "fighter jocks" theme couldn't be any more unsuitable for Star Trek, let alone STO, where the combat is pseudo turn-based. Fighters being the Pilot ship class would have made much more sense.…
Since you're fixing old issues, could it be possible to fix the years old miscategorization of all of the costume parts for the Fleet Scourge Destroyer? The ship customization interface still thinks the Scourge parts belong to the Gorn Draguas, and asks me to pay 1500 zen to use them, making it impossible to customize the…
From the page you linked to: In other words, the law says nothing about if an argument mentioning the TRIBBLE is valid or not, only that they'll be mentioned at some point. You're probably right. I'm a massive fan of scifi, and Trek by extension, but when it comes to STO, I often zone out during dialogue.
Well, people no doubt found this sexy at some point, so I don't have trouble believing that someone would find a featureless, vaguely female shape appealing. To me she looks to be made of some kind of oily sludge. She, if it is a she in the first place, can't obviously be one of those "energy beings", as, like we all know…
Please stop conflating network lag with framerate drops and freezes. The only thing it does is make things harder to diagnose, and confuse people. The reason things have distinct names is that they can then be discussed about effectively. You already see multiple people talking about just "lag" in this thread when they…
Yep. The game isn't optimized well. A single texture is unlikely to break it however. Especially in the sector space, where there are normally very few objects and scenery around, which would eat texture memory. Maybe you should make a bug report about those unoptimized areas? You're awfully shouty, aren't you? And yes,…
I asked Tacofangs about the background texture in the sector space zone chat. He said they ran into time constraints and only had time to smoothen it a bit. I didn't get to ask if they're going to still do anything to it, but hopefully they will. The low resolution skybox texture made the old sector space look cheap, and…
Seems like there's no way to lay sarcasm thick enough that there isn't someone still thicker around to miss it. :P Yes, I know perfectly well that the Japanese swordsmiths had to fold the steel so much because they didn't have access to better quality steel. I was actually making fun of the "cult of katana" that makes some…
I didn't exactly say that that's what the "mission is about" any more than I said that A Step Between Stars is "about" flying a badly set up ship. I listed it as the part I found bad about the mission. The Starfleet should have already known full well how distasteful the practices of the Kobali are, but apparently they are…
