Best-Looking: Tie between (RRF) Baratan Operations Command Warbird, Deihu Science Command Warbird, Daeinos/Dinaes, "Faeht" (recte: Faehht), all Pilot Warbirds, T'varo, and T'liss. (Edit: Add Haakona/Kara to this tie.) (KDF) D7, B'rel, and Qib (Fed) D'Kyr, Scryer, Phantom, Yamato, and Constitution. (Factionless):…

The only DOff Commendation which I feel takes too long is Recruiting, at least for RRF players who prefer to recruit RRF personnel. This could be improved by increasing the frequency of RRF Recruiting assignments and allowing them to be available in more locations. As for Diplomacy/Marauding, there are a few things which…

Park a Kestrel next to a Commander's Gig and tell me that again.
-
This is in STO. It's one of the costume variants for the Commander's Gig.
-
I'm not a "he" or a "guy." If my signature were currently visible, that would be obvious. And speaking in-character is by no means worthy of being flamed as needing to be in a mental institution.
-
You're welcome.
-
Actually, no. FASA's Trek tabletop RPG has the "Ruddy Orions" as a former ruling class of the Orion people. Many STO players have played the RPG in question (and I myself have several of the sourcebooks, although I never played the game). Some of those are likely to be making "white" Orions in order to RP as Ruddy Orions…
-
-- the upper portion of page 4 of FASA's Orions: Book of Common Knowledge Link to full-sized image Look at that. "Terran Caucasian." Goodness. Why, it even talks about black Orions! See, this is not about white Orions at all. This is part of an agenda. It's time for this thread to be shut down.
-
I never said or implied that the presence of soft canon elements in STO requires that other soft canon elements be included, much less that all other soft canon elements must be included. There's a still a bit of unflagellated straw poking out of your rhetorical effigy over here. Deal with what I actually said, and not a…
-
I like this idea quite a lot. Might need a bit of tweaking, but the basic idea is very appealing.
-
This topic is not in any way about me, so kindly stop trying to change the subject to me in an effort to flamebait me. Yes, we all (or at least many of us) have seen examples of what you refer to above, but the constant assertions from certain people 1. that everyone in this game is underage 2. that any and all RP in STO…
-
And fan fiction, fanfic, or "fanon," as some call it, is not the same thing as soft canon. Soft canon is licensed by Paramount and/or CBS. As such, soft canon should be considered as more authoritative than fan fiction. FWIW, STO is soft canon. And I do note that you have contradicted yourself here: So on the one hand,…

Slippery Slope
-
Therefore, the existence of "white Orions" in STO means that non-green Orions are canon for you, at least in terms of this game. I disagree with any pontification about "canon" being restricted to official onscreen sources; Trekkers for decades have regarded licensed works (licensed works, mind you, not simply anything…
-
"Troll" does not mean "people who disagree with something I support." Of the replies to the OP before you posted this, only one might be considered "trolling" by some. You claim there are several reasons for your support of the "proposal," of which you give ... one. And I should note that it is one which is often alleged,…
-
All of these apply to your reply: Plurium Interrogationum, A Dicto Simpliciter ad Dictum Secundum Quid, Ignoratio Elenchi, One-Sidedness. See: http://www.fallacyfiles.org/index.html Insistent use of "canon" to refer to "hard canon" only (as some have done in this thread) is Equivocation. You can also learn about this at…
-
Again, you are fighting a lost battle. STO includes many elements which are taken directly from or inspired by soft canon sources. And STO is richer for that. Edit to reply to your added bit in your edit: It's also not merely one person's imagination. There are at least three novels and two tabletop RPG sourcebooks which…
-
Again, while not from hard canon: -- Source -- Source Insisting that only hard canon material be used in STO is a lost cause; STO already includes a number of elements and inspirations from soft canon, whether hard canon purists like that or not. But this "proposal," while cloaked as such, is not about canon, hard or soft.
-
Episilon looks much better.
-
Contrary to the opinions of some, a licensed publication is not "non-canon." It's soft canon. As for the rest of your post, I'll note that you admit that there are two groups and admit to being part of one of them -- and that the drama in question was going on before I started playing STO some three years ago. By the way,…
-
While it's not hard canon, FASA's two resource books on Orions list not only green Orions, but also grey and gold Orions ... I don't see the harm in allowing customization sufficient to make hybrids, grey Orions, gold Orions, and so on, as well as green Orions. What I do see in the OP is an attempt to bring more…

The Captains' Table is not faction-exclusive, so why call it "the Federations Captains Table"? And some of us do visit it, although our visits are fairly rare. For me personally, I think a means of access in the New Romulus system would be a welcome addition, since RRF LTS are able to get there, but have to go to the Sol…
-
I know, but I still would be pleased to see the Sol system moved to the Alpha Quadrant so that Romulan and Klingon space would no longer be plagued by the sort of Zone chat which was once restricted to ESD, the Sol system, and one sector block ...
-
I'd be quite happy if they put the Sol system in the Alpha Quadrant, so that a certain type of Zone chat, which used to be rather restricted in its range, would once again be rare in Romulan and Klingon space.
-
Anywhere, Anytime, Any task. Nothing but Excellence. Contact your local Tal'Diann recruiter today. Maybe you can be one of us.
-
Romulan interiors are spartan? Have you seen "The Enterprise Incident"? The T'liss was, as you say, obviously designed to recall a submarine interior, but the flagship interior seen in TEI was anything but spartan. Also, the "bridge" seen in TEI was at least part of the inspiration for the bridges of the original…
-
The four wings of the Tal'Diann are: Military Intelligence Military Internal Affairs Special Operations Research & Development We are loyal to the New Romulan Republic, and have alliances with both the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire -- but these alliances do not override our allegiance to the Republic…
-
Romulans are supposed to have "honor blades," which I imagine are akin to a Scottish dirk, or perhaps a sgian dubh (which is basically a much smaller dirk).
-
Agreed. At the moment, the holodecks on fleet starbases are only taking up space. It would be very nice if they could be made functional.
