  • Pet Peeve: The name "Resolute" has been given to three British ships over the last couple of centuries, one of which was never built. The other two were survey ships, mainly famous for failing miserably and being turned into furniture for diplomatic purposes. The "Resolution" on the other hand has been given to a dozen…
  • There are no long-term goals at the moment. Hopefully the disappointment and discussion in this thread and going forward will change that at some point, or at least influence the Foundry development in a more...responsible...direction than others might prefer.
  • I've been thinking about this... It's really hard for me to see the heroism in filling voids you eagerly helped to create. I almost feel like the boat is sinking, and while the rest of us are trying to bail the water and maybe patch the leak, you Foundry guys are clubbing us over the head in an effort to show us how cool…
  • This is a sentiment that three of the more vocal Foundry types have expressed in this thread. I don't think anyone (other than they themselves) has suggested that there's anything wrong with some being inspired to make exploration missions. And yet, for some reason, they seem unable or unwilling to separate disagreement…
  • What I actually said was: "They are not replacing the Exploration missions with Foundry missions. We already have both. All they're doing is removing Exploration missions." Well, thank goodness no one is doing that, then. Here's one: The Current Exploration Clusters do not rely on players to provide the development of…
  • I think you might be mistaken here. They are not replacing the Exploration missions with Foundry missions. We already have both. All they're doing is removing Exploration missions. Or are you suggesting that the Foundry will dry up if Exploration isn't removed?
  • I'm pretty sure that's not what it sounds like. I accept that it's what you're hearing. I'll try to clarify: I'm not pissed at Cryptic. Or anyone else. What I meant to communicate was that I don't think your self-promotion in this thread is doing anything to help the community and might actually be harmful. I also wanted…
  • Yeah. This. Thank you soooooo much for the new uniforms! Sincerely! When will be allowed to select/determine/mandate/dictate the uniforms of our crewmen? I have a whole side thinger regarding the ability to beam in generic NPC's from every disciplnie instead of just tactical NPCs and BOFFs...but I'll let it go. For now.…
  • So...take 2. On one mission. By the ostensible poster-boy of Foundry creators. Well, sure. I feel better already. What could go wrong...? ======== kirksplat, your Foundry missions tend to be awesome and your tutorials for the otherwise byzantine Foundry UI are tres nifty. That said, I find your…
  • New costume options? Always cool. Free costume options? Even more cool. And they're nice looking too! That said...they aren't quite how I'd like to see my crew. While I appreciate that the devs *really* like their vision of Trek, and that it's not a bad vision of Trek, it might not be everyone's vision of Trek? Without…
  • This is a disappointing turn of events. It's disappointing for reasons that so many people have already stated: It was a different way to play the game that wasn't centered on the equally redundant and distressingly militant story arcs, episodes and queues. It had some randomness and a totally different feel of hopeful…
  • Thanks, Brandon, for at least giving this an official nod.

  • Same boat as the rest of you. Out in California...but I do use Verizon DSL. Was playing fine this morning, went away for lunch, came back and bammo...the launcher won't launch as it tries to connect to update itself. Good to know it's not just me. Misery, company, and all like that. But yes...same boat as the rest of you.

  • I've been fiddling with numbers and such. Assuming... ...3 PWO's of the same quality procing 20% of the time each; ...that their effects stack when more than one procs; ...that the RoF of a weapon can't drop below 1.5s; ...that there's nothing else at play to affect DPS... ...Photon vs. Quantum DPS seems to look something…
