The problem is the game in general has spent at least 7 or 8 years conditioning the playerbase to mindlessly zerg everything as fast as possible because it's a big brainless grind. It's understandably a bit difficult for some players to get out of that mindset and take time to read things, and wait for other players. The…
We aren't going to know how many people are struggling with the mission objectives in Remain Klingon because the target isn't displaying properly, or they can't see it because of visual spam, and how many just aren't paying attention, unless we somehow manage to a take a survey in which a statistically relevant portion of…
First mission was just a boring slog. As others have said, it was basically patrol gameplay rolled into a storyline mission. The whole thing felt like mindless busywork that could've made exactly the same point with only one space battle instead of 3. Please stop artificially padding missions like this. The second mission…
Romulan Flagship looked decent. Other than that guest stars if possible would be the best pick from the series. Maybe a visit to Nepenthe or the Android planet. I don't want the ugly, low quality CGI Starfleet ships. There's better looking ships in the game already.
Or they could've just waited until season 2 actually starts to pair them off properly. It's just tacked on at the end, wouldn't matter what gender or sexual orientation was involved. Episode was pure fluff. Basically pleasing fluff, but fluff nonetheless. As an example, Picard 'dying' was meaningless and lacked any impact…
Except they're the only Starfleet Flag Officers (or Starfleet personnel at all, actually) presented in Picard, whereas Leighton et. al. aren't the only Starfleet Flag Officers is TNG, DS9 etc. The equivalence you're trying to draw doesn't apply. If the only Starfleet Officers you see are doing X, Y and Z, then for the…
I think I have too many problems with Discovery to count as a 'fan' of it. I watched Seasons 1 & 2, I don't think it's a total loss, and I will give season 3 a shot. But for now, I'll just stick to Picard, which I like more, even though it has issues. Also, as we're only halfway through the first arc of Picard a lot of…
The D'Deridex Defender. This is the ship designed for The Vault Shuttle Event. Since I haven't done this mission in about 5 years, idk if the boss at the end is still called The D'Deridex Defender, or if it's just a regular D'Deridex. But it's not that version I'm talking about anyway. In 2012 (according to the patch notes…
Victory was in service continuously though. The Stargazer was floating in space damaged and semi-derelict for nearly a decade and would've required considerable work to be a viable ship again - that it was in any way functional in "The Battle" is implausible enough. Presumably the Ferengi did some repairs. Plus the reg…
The Stargazer wasn't a new ship by the time Picard took command in the 2330s, and definitely wouldn't have been state of the art when it was abandoned in 2355. Repairing and upgrading it when it was recovered probably wouldn't have been worth Starfleet's time and anything useful (like it's still functioning torpedoes, and…
Yeah, this is pretty much it. And even DS9 wasn't that dark. Its second half was dark, but even then, episodes not dealing directly with the war tended to be light and happy, and even though there were 800 million nameless invisible Cardassians dead, most of the main cast (with the exception of the Siskos) got a happy…
Well he didn't do it at the end of Descent, and I seriously doubt he'd have just been let walk into whatever storage facility Lore was kept in at a later stage with a phaser to disintegrate him. Also, he probably wouldn't have seen the need to do that.
Something's occurred to me. Where's Lore? They lament that B-4 wasn't advanced enough to get Data's memories back, or to provide an advanced enough positronic brain for research purposes. But shouldn't Starfleet still have Lore disassembled in quantum storage somewhere? Apart from having emotions built into his main…
Yes, that's clearly my problem, he was a man and like all good, woke SJWs, I don't care about men. Especially myself. It definitely wasn't beacuse Dahj was dangled in front of us through the trailers as a main character, given some actual character development and importance before being snuffed out, and that Picard's…
Not overjoyed with the presentation of Starfleet and the Federation. Not for "political" reasons (I'm actually of substantively the same political persuasion as Patrick Stewart, and the episode wasn't really political anyway), but because we've been watching Starfleet crews try and improve themselves, others, and protect…
Do you want to know why we had Abrams Trek where Kirk goes from cadet to captain, they TRIBBLE all over The Wrath of Khan, and the lens flares cut the eyes out of your head? Do you want to know why we have the confused mess that is Discovery? As well as several other series which have equal possibility of being confused…
I could label myself a Socialist (or a Fascist, or an Environmentalist etc.), but I wouldn't actually be one unless my actions were in keeping with socialism. Beyond a centrally planned economy, Hitler's weren't. As for Section 31, I'm not going to even get into the argument about their ideology, whether it's presented as…
What does Pahvo require you to do? Split off in different directions? Aside from the fact that you can get away just fine without doing that if you have, get this, big enough numbers, the ability to spot that there's more than one objective area is hardly a high bar for teamwork. Oh yeah, and you might lose a few marks if…
Imagine players were able to do that in 15 minutes without Mk XV gear, elite rarity, T-116 rifles and shotguns, and even before they'd assembled all the bits of their MACO set for the Integral Frequency Modulation. What witchcraft did they use to achieve such a thing? It's only a boring 20 minute slog with bad PuGs. 95% of…
The game's been going this way for literally years. Quick missions, where the objective basically amounts to "deplete a mountain of enemy health in the shortest time possible", designed to be repeated dozens if not hundreds of times by the player for progress. So everything is designed around pugging. It started with the…
I know having Leroy Jenkins in command of the Maru was a bit of a problem, but the solution of quite literally turning "No Win Scenario" into "No Lose Scenario" is just funny.
Thought I'd posted earlier, but it's gone now? You can use Power Insulators and the Nausicaan Siphon Console instead. Depending on upgrades, you'd lose about 25-30 DrainX vs. an equivalent mark and rarity [DrainX]x2 Fleet Console for each Sci slot you have. Not nearly as efficient, obviously, but 600 would still be within…
My drain build, the Drain Expertise stat is 701. Cyclical Power Capacitors boost it by 50 when I'm using my drain abilities, and I also have another 100 activatable boost from Quantumn Singularity Manipulation from the New Romulus Rep. It's pretty reliable for shutdown. It's not quite 100% geared to DrainX, probably 90%. I…
His "I can see that, Captain" is very Data, lack's B4's wonderment and confusion at his surroundings. Although I'd expect Data to refer to Picard as 'Ambassador' or by name instead of 'Captain' if he's left Starfleet.
I haven't seen a whole lot of Jeri outside of Voyager so idk what her natural accent and inflection is, but it seems that she's just playing Seven completely differently and in a 'more human' way (when would Seven ever have said "what the hell" in Voyager?) which considering how far she developed in 4 years in Voyager and…
