Oookay, I'm just gonna note that I saw the title of this thread in the dev tracker and wondered if there'd been a crossover with Blizzard and were they really that desperate to push the movie. Now I'm not wondering that anymore.
Couple of thoughts from an initial playthrough: 1) Cutscene between the Dreadnought and the Tarantula is very obviously incomplete - the two ships are...erm...'mashed' is probably the best word for it. No epic ramming action to be had. 2) Difficulty in the 'Of spiders and flies' battle' is a bit excessive, mostly down to…
Actually, I was - Borticus made the request on his twitter feed. Putting spoiler warnings on everything is as near as I'm going to go unless Cryptic start slapping NDAs on testers - people watching are aware that there are going to be spoilers in the vids and have a choice about whether or not to watch. The alternatives…
Although there's the (frankly hilarious, imo) version of that theory: namely that both sides shafted each other on the deal. The Klingons thought they were getting top of the line cloaks...but actually got second rate models that the Federation could already detect (if they were suspicious enough to start looking).…
Looks interesting. Personally I'd rename the trait slightly and call it "Injury to Insult" instead and I'm a little surprised the Callisto's advanced and elite variants don't get quantum torps but that's just me.
Heresy may be found in the strangest of places. Although crusts are better if you've got sauce for them. And as for those vile, vile p'taq'jai who use an extra large crust to claim it's a 10" when they've only put on 8" or less of sauce and toppings...there is a special place in Gre'thor for them.
In a similar position here - left handed, right eyed, right footed and frequently rather confused. Astartes. however, are ambidextrous as per the Dark Heresy ruleset. If you look at boltgun models from 3rd edition onwards, you'll notice that there are ejection ports on both sides of the gun - the designer (Jes Goodwin?)…
I was under the impression that the principal test for same/different species was whether or not members could produce fertile offspring. Absent a live Neanderthal, that one is going to be a little difficult to check... Back on the original topic - and it may have been brought up before, I haven't read the whole thread -…
And for a really 'out there' scenario...obviously we can 'cheat' by sending research projects back into the Iconian's dormant period, doing them there and sending the results forward. But what if we take it a bit further. What if we're the ones who bombed Iconia out in the first place (or at least did a Mass Effect and got…
Temba, his arms open. Players, when the patch came. Cryptic, when the patch came. Shaka, when the walls stood. Trendy, when there is coffee. Yuzral, at 95% processing. Phrased a little more clearly: Cool, let's hope tomorrow* goes smoothly. *Today, for anyone east of, oh, roughly 30deg West at time of writing.
So what did happen to make sure his rank pips are held on with velcro? Because I heard rumours involving the Vulcan Ambassador's shuttlecraft...:P Also going to be interesting to see how interactions between Tom and Miral play out.
And now I need to order a larger size of helmet :D. Starship reviews kinda fell by the wayside around Delta Rising for a few reasons - a computer upgrade that kept bluescreening, some major overtime in my RL job and buying my first property among others, but mostly because I wasn't sure that I'd properly understood the new…
Or nobody wants to serve under her because she's a magnet for crazy Klingons? I somehow imagine her career track to be punctuated by requests from her COs to have her transferred off because they've fended off 4 kidnap attempts that week and crew casualties are running noticeably higher than usual. The latest of course…
Know your mission objectives. In particular, know the sudden death failure conditions and how to avoid them. That is absolutely the last time I take a build without TBR into ISA...:(
As ably demonstrated by Lord_Ice, who broke the 2,000 impulse barrier. Grats to him and I'm sure it will be some consolation when he gets the repair bill for Spacedock. His gif: http://i.imgur.com/zzrlfYu.gif
Agree with a lot of the feedback here - and a lot of it is more eloquent than I could manage. I'll just add that the replay rewards for Taris seem to be off. Initial playthrough rewards a selection of blue consoles - including what I believe is currently the only damage type console in the Federation campaign - but the…
You know people are going to start demanding 4n free accelerators because they bought n R&D packs and now you've changed it...:rolleyes: On the bright side, no more suicidal tactical officers.
We're going bug hunting on Saturday then? Edit: Like the looks of the new Romulan BCH and the Guardian is growing on me (but those bridge stations...hoo boy. Give me a 4th tac slot on the fleet version and I'm sold. Turn rate's nothing an RCS console won't fix).
