    Where did I ever say the ships I'm talking about belonged to the Federation? There are plenty of races that wouldn't lose any sleep over blowing up the Earth.

    Klingons
    Romulans
    Borg
    Nausicans
    Tholians
    Gorn
    Dominion
    Cardassians
    Breen
    Ferengi


    Earth sucks.

    Then you would have also liked my AR blaster who looked like an 800lb canary (imagine a monstrous tweety bird) and sat in one of the trees in Atlas Park repeatedly chanting his battle-cry, "Here kitty kitty kitty kitty . . ."

Boosters and existing options aside there are still a ton of things they could add to the costume creator without having to dip into the more obscure (and likely difficult to implement) areas that often get talked about.
    CoV was also an expansion that was a whole lot larger than GR and as a result cost nearly double what GR did when it was released. I'd much rather pay a smaller price and get additional Praetorian levels and content in the upcoming free issues.

If people took a second to understand what he is saying (a test of one's own intelligence if you will) then I don't think this thread would be progressing in any way, shape, or form, as it has.

    He should try practicing what he preaches. You have to give respect in order to get respect. He was the first one to fire off insults. He was the one making threats (the whole "I petitioned you") and despite his behavior, everyone refrained from flaming him and stuck to pointing out that he was misinterpreting his "facts".
  5. It's not the vampire part that's worn out it's welcome it's the tragic fuzzy emo image that's been shoved down our throats that's making everyone sick to their collective stomachs.

    Congrats on the daughter to Ms. Huffman.
  7. Personally I like the idea but if the devs were to implement it my gut says it wouldn't be as high as 10%. The devs are extremely careful about bonuses that increase xp because it adds up extremely fast and characters are already rocketing to the level cap.

    So I suspect if it did happen it would be an increase comparable to ones we get with our current accolades.

Then they travel the gap at an even slower rate because of the missing engine.

    The episode Pain was, while not in it's original spot, supposed to be in the new galaxy from the start. It just got pushed up one spot because the season finale was made 2 parts. That episode that it replaced is supposed to air sometime this season.

    Overall, I don't think the writers had much control over TJ being pregnant.
    Why? Was the actress pregnant in real life? If so they could have simply killed off her character early on in the show and used the stones to have Chloe return to earth and study to be a medic. Then she wouldn't be a useless meat sack whose only purpose is to give Lt. Loser a booty-call.

    Combat Mode Auras: Players now have the ability to all auras to "Combat Mode" Combat Mode Only versions have been added to the Tailor and Facemaker. These auras will only turn on when your character engages in combat.
    You still need to unlock the other auras at level 30.

    EDIT: Aren't the Borg the zombie equivalent in Trek?

    Simple. Set the ships speed to warp factor 9 and crash into the Earth. That should be more than fast enough to destroy everything on the planet.

    Earthlings have established more than enough colonies in the STO universe to keep the human race from extinction.

    Also remember that there were a couple of episodes shown out of order right around that time.


    -np

    We don't know. Less than nine months. Depends on how far along TJ was when she found out Young had knocked her up.

    Longer than that because when the show started off in the next galaxy they had already been to several planets.

    As for resolving it the way they did, well they did paint themselves into a corner. Unwanted pregnancy may be drama but baby on board is a nightmare. However baby tragically loss is drama but since the TJ character is one of the "major" characters on the show they can't simply have her be a basket case for a season so baby is spirited away to the Genesis planet so she has some reasonable closure.
    In the first season she just found out she was pregnant so she was maybe 2-3 months? Then they jumped galaxies and she turned into a full blown Pregnasaurus Rex. So yeah accelerated in the space of a single episode.

    Do you have access to the new Clockwork and Resistance sets if you don't have GR?
    I tried to confirm it by logging into one of my old inactive accounts that I didn't buy GR for and found that they activated all the GR stuff for the reactivation weekend.

    GR advertisement says Overguard, Clockwork, PPD, Resistance, and Sport, are part of the expansion, and the I18 info says the only costume items they added was the combat auras.

    And theres big old stuff that could be upgraded because 6 years old costume pieces are showing their age, specially compared to newest pieces from boosters.
    Thats obvious, all the games lacks some stuff or another.
    And I've done talking to you guys, theres no point keeping this discussion up.
    I just dont like that you talk to me in that tone.
    I dont care if Im permabanned, you were attacking me since my first post in this thread and Im not going to pass that.
    I can be critic with some aspects of the develop and progress of this game because this is a forum and I want to give my feedback to the game I been playing for 40 months.
    But none of you have the right to attack me that way and fault the respect to me.

    First off, you've said that before yet you keep coming back to make angry posts.

    Second. Pointing out that the things you are claiming as truths are incorrect is not an attack.

    Third. Not once has Tyger said anything offensive to you. Nor has he been "attacking" you since your first post. He didn't make his first post until 10 hours after you started the thread, and only after you started throwing out the insult 'fanboy'.

    Fourth. The most offensive thing that has been said to you was when another poster said that the method you are using to justify your statements is "dumb". I.E. cherrypicking some facts while dismissing the ones the refute your argument.

    Fifth. Throwing a tantrum because people are disagreeing with you isn't going to get people to respect you.

    Sixth. You previously complained that we aren't getting enough new stuff and now in this post you want a lot of the old stuff redone. Guess what. If they start working on redoing the old stuff that means they will have less time to work on new stuff for us, which means we will be getting less new stuff until after they finish redoing the old stuff.

    This.

    Same goes for Star Trek. If it's on a planet you just don't beam down to the planet. If it's on a ship you initiate the self destruct. If it's on another ship you fire photon torpedoes.

    I mean, sure, showing us that "nobody's safe" is one thing, but the show has other unnamed soldiers they could kill. It just made no sense for this character to die in such a way or at that time.
    To be honest I found the way they accelerated TJ's pregnancy and then terminated it because it was too difficult to an issue for the writers to deal with to be far more offensive.

    Someone teached you education?

    Just an FYI, people have been permabanned for filing petitions against other forum members just because they disagree with them. Just ask around about what happened to Shiverwraith and KittyKrusader.


    Edit: Oh and another thing. Telling people that you are petitioning them could easily be interpreted as a threat. Trying to intimidate other posters is another big no no.

    Didn't you know the noggin isn't a vital organ in most men.

    It wasn't mentioned because they have nothing to do with each other.

    Riley's being snuffed out by Young was a rather obvious, and ham-fisted, counterpoint to Young's earlier attack on an Alliance soldier. In the case of the Alliance soldier he attempted to strangle him out of anger, in the case of Riley he was doing exactly the same thing but out of compassion. A second layer, such as it was, was added in that Young wanted to strand the Alliance members on the planet where he was unwilling to strand a dying crewmember.

    It appears it was intended to be a somewhat subtle character moment for Young.

    They killed his unborn child. Nothing subtle about it.

    Pistols are weapons, I love having more models but they only work for specific powersets.
    Is hard to understand I meant costumes?
    Like vanguard, roman, enforcer... All that stuff we had before and not getting now in a long while.
    I see you are changing your story again. Or was it someone else that logged onto your account and posted that you were talking about everything that was added to costumes from I08 thru I13 from masks, goggles, invention recipes, hairstyles, and weapon customization and not just complete sets.

    It's a shame that your posts were quoted because if they weren't you'd be able to edit them and claim you never said that.
