  • I like to create some of my BOFFs based on other games or TV shows. Here is my attempt at creating Max, Chloe, Victoria, and Kate from the game Life Is Strange. Here is Sabine from SW Rebels, along with a Chiss and a Na'vi. I really wanted to try creating Enu from Dreamfall Chapters but that wasn't going to work well. My…
  • I can understand that, aircraft design has shifted to composites, and glass cockpits from the old aluminum and steam gauges, but still the overall shape is generally the same. A naval warship is still generally built on big hull. Helicopter design hasn't changed too drastically over the years, despite a few offshoots, the…
  • Doom was a great game, I remember it giving me nightmares after playing it in the mid 90s. Duke Nukem3D was great too, but the best was Redneck Rampage...especially with the cusspack....so many wonderful phrases to corrupt a young mind at the time. Its funny, every hobby that I have been involved with has a certain segment…
  • The simple solution is simply to not take STO seriously. I don't. I enjoy it for a few weeks/month to play new content, then take 5-6months off and come back for new content. It is simply a place for cheap entertainment with some Star Trek window dressing. It is not a Star Trek 'life' simulator. It would be silly to expect…
  • Perhaps the Russians don't feel the need to reinvent the wheel, and those old designs suit their situation and needs. You could say the same thing about the US Marines, they still use the venerable Huey very effectively...albiet a highly updated version compared to the original 60s design. I still don't think modern…
  • Isn't any ship or plane built with the same basic concept....a hull/shell to hold personnel/equipment. There are quite a few differences between a DC-3 and a 777, but both are still tubes with wings. The fact that the DC-3 is still in service in remote parts of the world, some retrofitted as the BT-67 speaks volumes of its…
  • I think these kind of debates are relative, and can't compare to the US Navy. If the US Navy was involved in global conflict comparable to that of Starfleet in STO, there would be a lot more retrofitting of old ships as a matter of survival. Even in peace time tho, good designs last for long time, look at the B-52s and…
  • Thanks for the tips everyone, I may eventually try some advanced ground STFs, I found a practice ground STF on the foundry which I might try a few more times. Right now I am probably going to take a grinding break for a few weeks. Done enough patrol missions for a while.....grind patrol missions to next level...and your…
  • Thanks for the feedback everyone, this gives me a good gauge of fun vs grinding for cleavage lol. The cleavage outfit is a 'would be nice' but certainly not critical, nor something I can see grinding for hours/days for just to get a few BNPs. I might take a stab at the advanced STFs eventually when I have gotten some more…
  • Maybe Crypic will do some of those great corny low budget alien costumes from TOS... Who wouldn't want to run around the Dyson Ground battles wearing this. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hL7HogamDVc/TICWdzgwhPI/AAAAAAAACMA/bNnjo1oXsjc/s1600/Elaan_of_Troyius_013.jpg :D
  • Something else to think about. More might know about this secret than we are aware of. The Starfleet Admirals who OK'd the plan, possibly sharing this info with top Klingon officials at the time. Dax and Worf might have been able to put 2 and 2 together. Since Sisko is with the prophets, the prophets know everything he…
  • Maybe the Ferengi would be part of the larger idea. Maybe call it an Independent faction. This umbrella faction would cover all the 'non military' side of things shown in trek. This would include profit minded things such as business operation, freight hauling, smuggling, mercenary stuff and so on. Trek lore wise, the…
  • FED Admiral Zapp 'Badger' Brannigan USS Tejanahawk named after a paint scheme I designed for plane in MS Flight Simulator X http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2012/11/15/YQ0uI.jpg KDF General Tejana Slartibartfast IKS Aomanko is a dirty Japanese word combined with the word 'blue'. I thought it was funny considering…
  • Look at the big picture. Everything is canon because the universe is unlimited, therefore all possibilities exist. With one of the Trek's founding philosophies being being IDIC, there an infinite number of realities, each branching off the other. I think you have to look at some of the deeper theories and concepts…
  • Could be worse.....someone might request the male bikinis from TNG Justice:D http://recapsinhindsight.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/s1e8-costumes.jpg
  • That was one minor problem I had with TNG and DS9. I do like both shows alot. My issue was with Picard and Sisko meeting and negotiating with the heads of state of the major quadrant powers. That seemed something more appropriate for the Fed Preisdent or an Ambassador or even an Admiral, such as Admiral Nechayev or Ross.…
  • I do recall in that mission briefing for 'Bringing Down the House' J'mpok warns you not to get caught up with Sirrella's vengence, suggesting it would not be in your best interest. That almost sounds like a veiled threat not to 'investigate' his rise to power. A skilled politician knows how to play sides, when to stir the…
  • I have a toon in each faction, I shift between the three of them, but I do enjoy the KDF side alot. My KDF toon is an Andorian created via create-an-alien. I figured her story was similar to Worf's but on the KDF side of things. Her parents may have been killed in a raid. There is no honor in killing a defenseless child.…
  • True, BVR combat wouldn't be very exciting from STO's tactical view. BVR would be something for a highly detailed bridge simulation, along with lots of other ship operations. Imagine being able to walk around the bridge, look at sensor displays, get reports and give orders to bridge crew, go to your ready room, read…
  • I would buy a skant simply to improve my toon's Zapp Brannigan costume. For now I have to settle with a red/yellow Admiral's jacket with white pants, boots, and gloves. As it is now, with some simple recoloring and visor sunglasses I can make my female Boff into a pretty decent looking Leela. Why not have Zapp and Leela…
  • First, I think the big thing is silly 'flying' the ship idea. You the captain sit in your chair, you tell your helm officer where to go, You tell your science officer what to scan. You tell your tactical officer what/when/how to shoot at your target. You tell your engineer what systems repair take priority. I know we…
  • A foundry mission would be awesome. I would really like to see some STO ground combat that evokes a little 'Predator' like tension. Space combat that brings on some submarine tension would be very welcome, tho I don't know if STO gameplay mechanics would really allow that. If it can be done in foundry, it would have my a 5…
  • Allow attachments ala combadges/patches/belt buckles...etc to be moved like tattoos with X-Y-Z and rotation controls. This would let us adjust for different body shapes and sizes. Let Boffs wear mercenary/khan outfits so you can have a crew full of mercs or khansmen. For that matter, why not just remove all the…
  • Yeah I use the tailor's save outfit function all the time to try out and load various uniform schemes. I would just hope for some way to change the away team's uniforms either on the fly or via some menu option on the personnel page without having to go to the tailor and change outfits individually there. I understand…
  • Risa is great, I would suggest leaving it attached to the old Risa after the summer event is over. Maybe then the speclal grinding/game stuff could be removed, but the Island, buildings, activities would remain. Storywise, Risa is supposed to be a pleasure planet all year long, so would be a great R&R place for combat…
  • Lol thats great, I went to ERAU too. Got my wings there. FSX by itself wouldn't be much fun, but it has lots of life left in it with developers like A2A, PMDG, Realair, FTX..etc. Matter of fact A2A is going to be releasing a new P-51 model in the next few days, should be really really good. I have done some aircraft…
  • A while ago I dabbled in Second Life. Some of you may know about it as it had a sizable trek community. Anyway, SL is bascially a free for all, anything and everything goes. I always thought it was like the Sims meets the Rocky Horror Picture show. Anyway, one thing I noticed is that it isn't always horny teenagers…
  • would everyone be satisfied if they had Pat from the SNL skit firing a phaser? LOL
  • LOL she sure as hell wasn't wearing a burkha, and then you also have her Intendant character. Her little fling with Mirror Ezri was quite interesting.:) I do find it funny people bothered about what they are wearing or not wearing. If I were a woman, I would be more concerned about their roles in the game. Are women in the…
  • hahaha this is funny Scantily clad women in Star Trek has been going on throughout Trek's entire history. 7 of 9 was written on to Voyager to appeal to a particular demographic group and increase viewership. STO is following Trek history LOL. Come to think of it, pretty much every Trek show had their gal in a catsuit or…
