Not gonna happen. Too much of the game is tied to one faction or the other, and too much of the underlying code is organized on the red vs. blue faction breakdown. Seriously, think about it. If you switch from Fed to KDF for example, do you get to keep Fed ships do you have for example? Or do they get converted to their…
I think it's also worth noting that even within DS9, it wasn't all grimdark, all the time. Even in the depths of the Dominion War they still found time for things like Jadzia and Worf's wedding... https://youtu.be/aaD8cDUV29M ... a Ferengi caper... https://youtu.be/nETAxv7E3qk ... and baseball. https://youtu.be/N22YyheMW-c…
Fedside, my cat carrier is going to be the Lioness. KDF: jev qIp'a'mey, "Storm of Great Blows" Rom: Susse-thrai. Literally, it's "female thrai", a thrai being an animal of similar appearance and temperament to a wolverine. It's an affectionate term for a powerful older woman who brooks no BS. Dominion: Random, because…
*sees two-hangar warbird carrier* MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE Seriously, this is fantastic. The frigate pets even use beams which means I can run Coordinated Assault on the carrier. A couple interesting notes: — The name of the warbird carrier means "leader" in Rihan. — DevwI' in tlhIngan Hol also means "leader", although I…
> @dheffernan said: > (Quote) > > I don't accept any of that. > > The Federation made no attempt to alter e.g. Vulcan culture. The Tellarites of the TOS era are indistinguishable from those of the "modern" day. (Same for the ones of ENT times but that's being disingenuous as they were written after the fact.) For that…
The difference is twofold:* Obisek felt like he and the Remans were forced to it by the very real threat posed by the Tal'Shiar, who legitimately wanted to reduce the only recently freed Havranssu back to slavery. Thalaron weapons for them were just a way to even the odds against a significantly more powerful opponent. In…
Even Martok himself basically says, look, we've been through four major wars in a row in ten years, so whatever my disagreements with the incumbent, I'd rather support him if I can do so honorably just for the sake of keeping the Empire stable.
Exactly. It's not that it would be moral to do it in real life, it's that particular PCs don't have a real-world-human moral and ethical background. Although personally I think it applies more to the Alliance Chairman than to Droola: I know Morgan, my Fed Rom, would take his actions as a slight to her personal honor, her…
> @crypticarmsman said: > (Quote) > ^^^ > Except that Star Trek (across ALL series) has done exactly that time and time again for the sake of 'drama' - so yeah, why should STO be any different? ;) To which the obvious counter-argument is: If it was wrong those times, what makes it suddenly right this time?
Okay, so here's my reviews. * "The Centre Cannot Hold": 9/10. Everything WORKS, subfactions are properly acknowledged. It maybe could have used a bit of polish here and there but nothing's out of place. The only real criticism I have is that the middle stage where you're jumping from system to system fighting fires is a…
Sabaton are the best gorram band on the entire gorram planet. Remember that YouTuber who did a Russian-language cover of "The Attack of the Dead Men"? They brought him onstage with them in Moscow and they're releasing the performance as a single. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl9cpuXXx8Y
Might as well put in my 2 cents for Strike Team Alpha (KDF-side: House of Alphas), or one of our allied fleets like Gar'fon's Renegades and House of Tlhap-Jen. We're pretty casual and easygoing, and we have a TeamSpeak server and a cross-faction text chat channel: just a bunch of nerds who like to goof around and shoot…
Yeah, I always point to the reactions to Renegade actions in Mass Effect: 1 and 2, you punch out the odd pompous reporter, you act a bit more like a human-supremacist, mostly it's just being an antisocial jerk. But then in 3, you get to betray and then kill Wrex. Player reactions went from, "LOL, Shepard is a jerk" to…
Biomolecular phasers are actually pretty decent if you spec for them. I use them on my vet destroyer and my GCS on my main. Then there was the refracting tetryon/minelayer build I put together for the Vorgon dreadnought cruiser as a joke, which turned out to be more effective than it had any right to be.
> @trennan said: > Make the borg the bad guy they used to be, not the target practice that they are. Now when I hear "We are borg." all I really hear is them saying, "We are bored, please shoot us." This, so much. The Borg have been ruined by overexposure pretty much since VGR.
