  • I picked up a couple of Mk XII [Acc]x3 tricos amazingly cheaply a while back, so I still use them as sternchaser weps on some cruiser layouts. One of those torps with a hi-yield buff on it is a good way to say "get off my TRIBBLE$" to human players; automated opponents tend to run smack into those torps and suffer the AoE…
  • Bump & Updates -- Our main fleet (Fed) has two upgrades running; Embassy T3 and Mine T1. Our KDF fleet's working on the various T3 upgrades to its starbase. Our new Fed-allied Romulan fleet is building up its fleet bank and is cranking away on its projects. If you're down for storming the beach, knocking some heads, and…
  • Word up, man. (passes popcorn) :D
  • Probably the same things that make yours so great. No-pressure, low-commitment, come-as-you-are vibe. We have meetings, but nobody *has* to come (except for the COs) and nobody *has* to contribute to fleet projects unless they want to. There's no saluting and no 'sirring' other members; we don't stand on rank and ceremony.…
  • It *was* great, at least until it got the TRIBBLE nerfed out of it around the time F2P arrived. With a Tac toon well specced for ground combat and with proper buffing, you could just about one-shot Tactical drones when using it (you'd usually succeed if you flanked them). And the beauty part was the shooting-thru-walls…
  • I've had this happen several times, and from what I can tell, it seems to be caused by something flagging your IP address on Cryptic's side. The easiest way around it is to change your IP address. If your ISP uses dynamic IP addressing, this should be easy -- you simply disconnect and then reconnect. However, if you have…
  • I like the OMGWTFLOLBBQ NERDRAEGQUIT WHAAAAAAAAAGAARRRRRRBBBLLLL threads every time new content or a new season comes live. They're almost as much fun as watching Youtubes of wild-azz Russian traffic "incidents." :D
  • Let me know when you come up with an *actual* example as opposed to hyperbole. :cool: You're being forced to wait in line due to higher than normal demand. Same thing happens at the airport during holidays., and it's not extortion there, either. People in First Class, with elite airline status or with priority access…
  • Not to be snarky, but I'd love to see an example of *legal* extortion. :) I'm not sure how long you've been playing STO, but this happens every time a new season or new content gets launched. There's a horrendous rush for the servers THE MOMENT the new content goes live, the server queues kick in and players roar about…
  • Your use of the words "extort" and "extorted" seem to imply that you believe criminal activity has taken or is taking place. Is that the case? Respectfully, I submit that what you call "underhanded business practices" are simply business practices that you don't understand and by which you apparently feel victimized. I'm…
  • Come now; is Delta Airlines negligent or lacking in foresight whenever they oversell a given flight? Of course not; they know from experience that a given percentage of paid passengers simply won't show up. Delta and PWE both manage their resources in order to sustain a given anticipated load. From PWE's perspective, today…
  • Understanding what you've read does not automatically imply that one will necessarily agree with it. And you should check your own language skills with regard to "ur" and "cause."
  • Snicker. :D Seriously, I don't care if anyone sees me as an authority on the language or not. It just irritates the living daylights out of me when barely-coherent jabberers like poiuy (who seem to apply punctuation from a salt shaker) hold themselves out as such. Gosh, I suppose you could defeat some unwashed Gauls and…
  • Indeed. I have no idea how many college-level English courses Poiuy *actually* has under his belt, but given that I started teaching college-level English over 20 years ago, I can estimate with reasonable accuracy. And frankly, most of my 101 students have had far better command of the language than he's demonstrating in…
  • That's two comma splices and at least once instance each of missing punctuation and nonstandard usage. You've got a degree in English like I'm the King of England. :rolleyes: And I see that you're a childish braggart who, when called on his demonstrably false claims of higher education, runs and hides behind PvP…
  • You also didn't 'waste' much of your time on grammar, syntax, usage, spelling or punctuation. With so little of your time available for such fripperies when posting, perhaps you should go a step farther and also find yourself without time for actually posting. :rolleyes: Is that supposed to be a promise or a threat? I ask…
  • I have a possible solution; I don't offer any guarantee that it will work for anyone, but it did work for me. From what I can tell, something on the PWE side is flagging your IP address (if you have any sort of persistent IP address) and account, preventing login. After reinstalling EVERYTHING and still finding the bug, I…
  • I recognize that signing up at this late date will place me on the waitlist for the January session. S'cool, I should have signed up immediately when I saw the notice for PVPB. :) Ingame Handle: Bill Nye The Science Guy@Quark_Kent Faction: FED Career and Ship: Science/Intrepid VA Refit Languages: English Interested mainly…
