  • Well there are those ships missing windows or with floating parts that are not quite attached or other ship art bugs that might have some overlap with the creating new ships crew. Probably not what he was talking about though.
  • I am an escort fan, but the combo of being satisfied with what I have, the cost and not really knowing how well the pilot stuff works has kept me from buying any. Maybe they needed a event with a pilot ship reward so people could try out the mechanics? Intel and Command bonuses are sold on the numbers, Pilot bonuses are…
  • Both for what we got, and how we got it. Feels wise, I am young enough to not have seen TOS first, DS9 is "my" Trek. So I really have no interest in a 23c faction. Mechanic wise, the almost complete overlap between the 23c faction stuff and Fed stuff makes it seem rather pointless. Like the Delta Recruit event, I enjoyed…
  • You like Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court-martial Germany's military doesn't normally use court-martials. Egypt gets criticized for using court-martials for non military uses. Netherlands apparently uses some kind of hybrid system when military personal are involved where they pick case by case. On the other…
  • My position is that there is not a hard line between military and police. I personally think Starfleet somewhere along the line slid across the grey area, and is in denial. What do I have against militaries? They make poor police, and police make poor militaries, yet governments keep trying to use them interchangeably.…
  • A pretty good rule of thumb, though not all militaries use court martials (military law is a subset of civilian law rather then its own thing in this case) and sometimes non-military groups have used the term to refer to internal justice systems even if there is nothing military about it.
  • I do understand where you are going, but cops stay cops is a bit of a US view, some other nations's version of police and army reserve are the same. Nations of mainland Europe do not always have a lot of room between police and national defense during an invasion. Again, I get your argument between civil justice vs…
  • Pretty sure they "pay" Scotty in booze... http://www.drunkard.com/5_02_space-winos/
  • Not on topic, but this did remind me of something. Not terribly long ago the Tampa police gave a press statement about how the police were not militarizing in front of a tank with their logo on it. They just called it an "Armored Rescue Vehicle" not an "Infantry Fighting Vehicle" like a military force would.
  • Wikipedia links are ok, not great but workable. Wikipedia, without reading the article you are linking to though...
  • You are shooting blanks there oliviaclaire. As mentioned by nikeix, Aegis is Greek for shield. it is used as a term for defensive systems in many places. From your own link "The word "Aegis" is a reference that dates back to Greek mythology, with connotations of a protective shield, as the Aegis was the buckler (shield) of…
  • Countless small ones that don't effect gameplay Costumes (and pets) are fine, but they need to be priced to sell to matter.
  • The Xyfius was reclaimable for me before the event ended, but now that the event is over it seems to have disappeared.
  • I do play KDF... Long term, while I really would like to see either parity between factions or a complete merger with cross faction fleets and teaming, but I don't really expect to ever see either with the way STO has handled things in the past. Short term fixes for me would include any or all of- T6 Carrier, T6 Science…
  • 10 min rollback, an advanced version of Server Not Responding where not only does it disconnect you, but also undoes everything you have done recently It is just gone!, another possibility for Server Not Responding. Were you equipping/unequipping something when SNR struck? That item may have completely vanished and if it…
  • Odd, don't all the other tutorial reward Bridge Officers have non-standard traits? - Elisa Flores has Superior Teamwork, humans normally only have the standard version and Superior Soldier which I don't think Humans can have at all. - K'Gan has Superior Honorable, klingons normally only have the standard version. - Tovan…
  • Not sure how I feel on this one. On one hand the wimping out on giving Klingons and Romulans a ship is sad, on the other hand selling traits directly my be a solution to part of the faction power disparity. A lack of prices in the blog, it will be interesting to see how much of the ship/console/trait package price is the…
  • If we are involved in both time traveling and dimension hopping, why stop with one Khan?​​
  • Film Flare? Or maybe Lens Grain! Lens Grain almost sounds like a real thing.​​
  • Some of each? I would guess there would be a few of both C-store and Lockbox ships. Though possible, I would think it is unlikely that they would let Klingon players fly the Kelvin, Enterprise or Vengeance, so I would guess C-store for them. Another likely C-store ship, the D4 patrol ship is problematic, are they cruisers…
  • Other then Sensor Analysis, "Ship Effects" seems like a poor name for these effects. Most of the visual effects come from BOffs abilities, Captain abilities, traits or gear sets rather then the ship itself. I would like to turn off some of the effects, but a all on or all off option would not help me.​​
  • I am a bit unclear on the timeline, but did Paramount offer to settle, and then Axamar sued Paramount. So Paramount decided to cancel the offer to settle?​​
  • It may be that the Borg were looking for Q, not necessarily the Federation. There are signs that the Romulans are having problems with the Borg in 2364, Q Who implies that the Borg are the ones that have been disappearing Romulan outposts(The Neutral Zone). We really don't know what the Borg thought of Q's intervention,…
  • They do use the abilities, and I suspect in many cases, "as those abilities currently exist." The problem is they don't know how to use them. It won't be a simple solution like just adding the ability to the list of things the AI can use, it is a matter of teaching the AI how to use each and every one of the abilities for…
  • The need to stop moving things form EC/Dil to Zen/Lobi. Mirror Universe costumes probably would have cost Dil rather then Lobi a couple years ago and it use to be you could by ships with Dil. No need for out of control power creep or destroying the market.​​
  • Not a fan of the DSSV, but because the Varanus is just the DSSV beaten with the ugly stick, it would make a good starting point for a cross faction 3 pack. (The Han'nom is more tac oriented, but it looks like the Mirror Ha'nom is a DSSV in a green paint job.)​​
  • I could see it done as "Twitch Plays Pokémon STO", Be kinda amusing for a short while.​​

  • I don't recognize most of those locations. They look more mission starbase interior rather then player starship interior. Bottom one is Drozana Station, second from top looks like a dev testing set up, the others I would guess are from some kind of boarding mission?​​
  • The formatting for the list is a bit off, This line applies to both the attributes sets change and the armor penetration change. ​​
