Players. Only a few people talk about "Feddiebears" and they post on this forum, no reason to pay them any attention. Now, if those players posted on Reddit or Twitter, then the devs might be more inclined to listen.

Val, you are missing the important question. Whether or not Romulans use dilithium for FTL is irrelevant. The important question is: Does Mecha-Cthulu use dilithium for FTL? If an android summons a mechanical horror from the void beyond the stars, will it answer? Will it end all meat-bag life in the universe? Can it? Will…

Tactical Module: Ambush has a 60 second cooldown. The long cooldown is why I haven't used it in years, because many lockbox modules have much, much shorter cooldowns. Universal Kit Module: Agony Field Generator appears to have a similar cooldown. Why would I replace any number of modules with much, MUCH shorter cooldowns…

The humans in Star Trek are supposed to be flat out better than us. You (and the writers) fail to look through the lens of "science fiction". "Imperfect humanity" is a fairly tired trope, used to set up simplistic, easy, copy-pasted stories that require little effort on the part of the writer. These stories rely entirely…

I'm not sure they are "ultra-nationalists". They always seemed to be a self-serving discount "illuminati" organization that had to "save the Federation from itself". Meaning they would use their power and influence against forces outside or inside the Federation that Section 31 thought was a "threat" to the "future" of the…

I thought the Linked Command Matrix could only be equipped on Jem'Hadar Vanguard ships. Will it let you summon a Jem'Hadar Heavy Attack Craft as well? I might put it on my Durgath too.
-
The Valkis, the Durgath and the Universe have a turn rate of 5. For comparison, the Yamato Dreadnought Cruiser (T6) has a turn rate of 6 and the Vengeance Kelvin Timeline Intel Dreadnought Cruiser has a turn of 7. The issue with the Temporal Heavy Dreadnoughts is not so much their turn rate, but their inertia. You "slide"…

We have ships from timelines that don't exist. We have ships from races that no longer exist. The Lobi Consortium has better starship engineers than any galactic governing entity that spans hundreds of worlds. We have dinosaurs with lasers on their heads. Sure. Go for it. STO is a nonsensical celebration of everything that…
-
I wonder if they would give a third hanger to the Temporal Heavy Dreadnoughts? Those ships are big enough.
-
The same could be said of Klingons, Romulans or even the Ferengi. Defeated Borg could be used to create some interesting story lines about trauma, loss and re-integrating into society. A parallel of many war stories with the interesting twist that the soldiers are also the innocent civilians. But what you will probably get…

Each of my characters is already set up with a unique space and ground set-up. They have unique "space barbie" appearances. I don't really have a spot for this ship, especially for it's price. I'm saving up for the Discovery Operations Pack, which is also overpriced. Feels like a running theme.
-
"Change the face of the game" sets expectations that... what is coming will change the face of the game. If it's a bloodless Iconian War 2.0, then I can see where disappointment may set in. "Change the face of the game" is a big expectation. Like "it's a new faction" sets an expectation. Should posters just ignore Geko…
-
Sure, why not? They made "dinosaurs with lasers on their heads" work. The Dyson ground battlezone is still my favorite. When Discovery introduced a gigantic sub-atomic organism that exists literally everywhere and everywhen I thought "man, good thing the Borg never discovered this. They would assimilate everything,…
-
A new splash screen. Probably one with dutch angles and excessive lens flares. Neglected fans of the Terran Empire and the Borg. Next year will be the BIGGEST EVENT EVER: the Terran Emperor vs the Borg Queen in a deadly cage match.
-
My understanding is that the showrunners had the "cliff notes" of where the books would try to end up; they then wrote backwards to get the characters to the "cliff notes" endpoint... in 13 episodes or so. I think they rushed the show to a conclusion when they should have taken considerably more time to get to the "cliff…

The most common use of character preferences is "foreshadowing". A character is shown (or claims) they "like mint ice cream, dislike snakes, and like same sex partners". So, later on, character makes an important decision based on: mint ice cream, disliking snakes, or a same sex character. Whatever technique is used, the…
-
Except that movies and television have been throwing in "forced relationship to establish sexual preference" for decades. Two decades ago, it was used in stories that revolved around "too many males" on screen and the studio or the producer wanted a token female in the "sausage fest" to establish that the mostly male cast…
-
Your shuttle is perfectly adequate for a large portion of the game's content. The majority of the game's content is "blow up the thing". Usually, "blow up the many, many things that swarm you". Most players do not use a DPS parser. They go by "feels", which is very subjective. If the ship does not "feel" good, people don't…
-
That's... disheartening. The Terran Empire is the most poorly written and juvenile invention to continue to exist in STO. "We've conquered everyone in our universe... now we are coming for yours!" says one of the most incompetent adversaries in Trek lore. Take the ISS Discovery. The ship is transported to another universe.…
-
I'm tired of Mirror/Terran anything. They were revamped for the "Cardassian Struggle". They were a major opponent in "Future Proof". They are a major opponent in all the recent Star Trek:Discovery content. If they make some kind of "playable Mirror universe sub-faction" with all this content you want, great. I hope it…
-
What is your point here? That the show did not go into any detail regarding Landry's backstory? That is what I said. Maybe she is scarred by war. Maybe she was abused by a family member. Maybe a former lover broke her heart. Maybe Logic Extremists murdered her pet goldfish. Maybe she is just a mean-spirited person. Any of…
-
Except that is not what happened. We did not see any even that would lead to Landry's behavior. She was "mean" so that when she died, the audience would not be upset. She "deserved" it. Same for her mirror counterpart. I'm really looking forward to this. The Cryptic writers typically create good dialogue when they bring…
-
Exactly. Which is why they need to tell us how their version works. It is a "fantastic material". How much power does Tilly's doohickey need to break it apart?
-
Eh... didn't the Discovery figure out how to render the cloaking device "obsolete"? Didn't they give that information to Starfleet? Wouldn't Control have that information? I thought that scene was even dumber than the scene at the Battle of the Binary Stars. However, Control just seems to suffer "terminal stupidity"…
-
It's not "a small piece of rock". It's "dark matter; according to the writers of Discovery" (because their "dark matter" has no basis in reality, much like their "time crystals"). It is a fantastic substance. How much energy is required for her doohickey to remove a piece of this fantastic substance? Then, there is the…
-
Who are you talking to? First it was stated: Then it was asked: No one is saying "CBS can't do that" or whatever you are implying. The question is "Who said no D7 for Romulans? Link or stop spreading rumors". Seems pretty straightforward.…
-
Maybe SIF technology was not as good during the TOS era as it is in STO's current time? Just a possibility. I admit, I have not kept up with the literature.
-
Or, how about a suit that can go anywhere, anywhen, anytime the operator wants. Star Trek:Discovery (actually, maybe it is just Alex Kurtzman) need to dial it way back on "everything, everywhere has ALL THE POWER". From human-sized transporters that have enough power to transport a human from Earth to Qo'nos, to the…
-
For the reason you and others have stated; someone has called the captain's orders into question. IF you have set a precedent where anyone can supersede the captain's order "because of a situation the captain is unaware of", then everyone will second guess the captain. That means anytime someone yells "stop", everyone on…
-
This is nonsense. Mostly because, how Star Trek: Discovery handles "dark matter", "nano constructs" and even "power and energy" has only the tiniest fraction of basis in real science. Since it is all made up gobblety-g0ok, the writer does, in fact, need to say why a plot device from a previous episode will not work as a…
