I mean more like an "on your character" preview. I seem to recall it being somewhat buggy and odd in ways because it did not necessarily reflect well, as it showed with all the other pieces being what they already were. Again though, it may have been a different game. Also, it mostly applied to lobi items or items in the…

Very true... but then that is what this thread is all about! Headcanoning our way through the things that might not otherwise make sense. There are so many creative people out there, both working for Cryptic and just playing the game, I'm sure we can find a plausible, if somewhat incredible, explanation for almost anything!

Actually, you do see modifications to the ships going on all the time in the each series, from little tweaks to the engines for more power/efficiency to better torpedo yields. Really, the idea of adapting technology for use on the ships was a prevalent theme in later seasons of Voyager and a frequent theme in Enterprise.

My good man, I would happily donate Zen to you and your fleet for that emblem. Cryptic needs a special marketplace for fan created content such as that (although, it would require some sort of approval process). Perhaps a section of the C-Store for fan created content, payment goes to creator. Cryptic still receives money…

Realistically, even though it is stated that "money" doesn't exist in the future, there still has to be an economy of some sort. No society can exist without an economy. Star Trek never really goes into great detail on UFP economics, so some type of energy rationing is quite plausible. That it was never mentioned during…

First let me state that I have NOT seen Into Darkness. No unnecessary spoilers please, but what is this concept art of? Which ship? I don't plan to look up the final version (I'll wait till I've seen the movie) but I'm curious. Oh, and anazonda- Whatever that insignia is in your signature should be in this game! I love it.

I like that. Maybe a small, self contained warp core (roughly room sized, with a one time use before replenishment). I always used the idea of like a subspace jump myself. Actually, that is one of the inspirations for my explanation. :) You are definitely in the right place. :) That said, I hadn't thought of this one. I…

My thanks as well. Despite the fact I owned the majority of the items already and the fact I probably won't have time to level up a KDF toon tonight to get the big KDF ship, I thank you anyway. Here's hoping this thread exceeds the number of rage threads/posts we'll likely see here.

Couldn't pass this one up. Regarding ground forces and ground ranks in Star Trek: Ground forces and ranks are seen, chronologically, on screen beginning with MACOs of the Enterprise/Earth Starfleet era and ending with Colonel West (played by Rene Auberjonois). MACOs are specifically portrayed as a ground forces and use a…

:Disengaging lurking field: Now, first of all let me say I have yet to come across an "afker/leach" in any of my STF runs, but I also haven't been brave enough to run a PUG elite. However, I can imagine how that might be frustrating. I will say that you must check your logs, because if the person is rolling on drops, then…

Keeping in mind of course that such a lawsuit would unlikely ever get filed or pursed in court unless Cryptic either: A. Was contacted about the violation and failed to respond and remove the said violation within an acceptable period of time. or B. Created creator parts SPECIFICALLY to allow a player to create a…

Honestly this entire conversation has grown slightly comical... To the OP and anyone else hit by this problem: I do feel bad for you, regardless of what you were saving the mail and or items for. Regardless of how you look at it, all of these people were using the system as it worked and any loss of mail, with or without…

Wow, really folks? We have loads of odd looking, non Star Trek characters running around. Names that make no sense, proportions that make no sense, and you want to bash someone who wants to make a character that looks like something from another franchise. Who really cares? I don't know about the rest of you, but I could…

I definitely support this one. "Consoles" have always been a source of nerd rage for me anyway, beginning with the very name. I mean, seriously, who ever saw the episode where the engineer wanted to upgrade the thrusters and the captain suggested pulling out that console over there to do it! I wish they would give it a new…

Wow, in the time it took me to type my last post, not only did we hear from BranFlakes, but there were 4 pages of responses posted. I wonder how many this time... Last post by snoge00f, page 10 of the thread

Thank you so much for amusing interlude! This is certainly becoming a frustrating period. Yesterday I was unable to log in most of the day. Today, I was in for most of the day, but alas, once again I'm out. I'm extremely disappointed in the situation. I have never had a major beef with Cryptic to now, and I was…

You should see a big performance upgrade by going to 64 bit. I haven't yet made the switch myself, but I'm setting up for it soon (waiting to buy another 4GB to move my machine up to 8 once upgraded). I have seen some friends do it and see great increase in performance. I hope you'll let us know how it went, I'm curious to…

I had a similar problem with the APB Reloaded game, and roughly the same specs as you have. The problem with Vista (32 bit anyway, not 64) is that it essentially "claims" 2GB itself, leaving in fact only 2GB for other applications. I am assuming (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) you are using Vista 32bit and are…

To the OP: Without knowing if it is a video or system memory problem, how much of each memory type you are running, and your OS, it would be hard to give an accurate answer. If you can include that data, we may be able to help more. supergirl: Obviously yours is video memory problem, but I would ask how much total system…

Well at this point now, after the maintenance, I am again able to login. It would appear to be server side issue I was facing (an extremely aggravating one at that). I'll edit the first post to reflect this update, despite the fact the thread is not a long one. I know many people never get past the first post when reading.…

Have you gone through the HUD options? I'm pretty sure there is one that is mostly the old style.

You know, when I first read the post I couldn't help but think it was another "I'm mad, gimme free stuff" post. The sad part is, he clarifies (more than once) that he is not angry or mad, but simply making a suggestion to sooth the ragers (of which he is not one). Still, after stating that multiple times, people don't get…

I thought the same thing when I first started playing the new XCom back at launch. Not that I don't like STO, but being a fan of the ST:A Final Unity game, I always expected something more where you controlled your whole away team. The problem, though, is XCom style isn't real time (although the old XCom Apocalypse tried…

And there always that guy...

First, let me clarify what I was getting at. My reference was to what the Cryptic created singularity core visual you see from the ship interior. In no way was I implying that Cryptic got the idea of the singularity core from Event Horizon, simply that their version of it looks much like the drive core, or Gravity Drive (I…

I like the idea of a special starbase/embassy level, even if it opens to just a single room. For Feds, a garden area like the one shown by voicesdark. For KDF, a hall with some statues and a Klingon worthy saying on a wall at the end. These don't seem undoable given the current technology, and are generic enough anyone…
