This is now the third, or possibly even the second most random thread on the boards in recent history.

Keep up the good work!

To this day, I for some reason remember what IMDB informs me was the episode "Jouney to Oasis". I remember very little about the episode except for a disembodied voice warning the characters to "Beware of Ezerhaaden!", and a floating sword.

As an aside, it's more than a little amazing that I could use the internet to find details of a 31-year old television episode, knowing only what series it was from and having a vague, qualitative description of that disembodied warning. I had no idea how one spelled "Ezerhaaden", and less idea what the episode was named or who was in it besides the core characters.

I found it on my second try, in probably less than 60 seconds.

OH ... I....no. I got nothing.
Not even an archaic TV reference.

The code banter is fascinating though.

You mean 4 more with actual work done on them? Not just planned? If so: DARN you guys were getting bussy!!!

"expansions or modifications".... wait... epic pools? More pool powers? no... because just tanker controller dom blaster... New Ancillary pools then maybe? Patching a few conceptual holes in those?

Its kind of hard to forget the part where Spock's father yanks off his own head.

I couldn't wait to roll that Plant tanker, even with all the rooting.

Sorry, Bus Control and Bus Blasting were not on the list. That's definitely a rumor that I've been trying to squash1 for months.


1And no to Squash Melee as well.

My younger self would love this. /Road Map Control.

Positron name dropped the "Striker" AT in the AMA. Ranged Damage/Melee Damage.
As in, at least I assume, the true melee sets as opposed to the mixed bag Blasters got as a secondary.

Couldn't tell if he meant it was something he's always wanted to do and it never got off the ground or if it was something they were actively working on before all this happened.

Hey! Give me a break! Not my first language! Last red-name to do that at least did it via PM...

So you did not denny it being about ancillary pools... for publicly making fun of me you owe me a reply here!

My guesses:

Blaster: A Radiation secondary, given Rad Melee's development and the lack of a matching secondary for Rad Blast.

Tanker: Katana? That is the one melee power set they do not have, and it would technically be a "modification of what had been seen so far." Plus, I can't think of much else that a Tanker would get but the rest of the Melee archetypes would not.

Dominator: Illusion Control. Modification of something existing, and a long-time request of the player base (thus "obvious").

Controller: ...Traps? I actually have no clue on this one.

My other guess for Controllers/Dominators is Water Control, but I have it in my head that we received a pretty firm denial that that would make it into the game in any near future.


@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.

Also, Patron Power Pools for both sides after finishing the theoretical Scirocco arc. That was probably the news I liked the most out of the entire thing.

I would picture an AT with Assault sets more likely.

Haha! If I remembered where I had seen it, or who had said it, I would have said so! For all I know, I am making that up and just assuming we wouldn't see it based on how recently Water Blast hit the game.

Personally, I always thought Water was a great candidate for a control set.

Bus Control was too interruptible.


Yeah, I went there.

Just thought something that may make more sense than this...

If we were getting Rad melee, and rad armor, and we already have rad blast...

It just makes sense we got quickly a Rad Assault and a Rad Manipulation set.

Barry Morse and the moon scenes might have made you think of space 1999
Saw the poster of the film on imdb and the ship had a positive memory reaction. It looks like it. Thank you so much ! This thing has been driving me nuts since the internet came and I've been unable to remember the name of that one !
Edit: This is definitely it, the alternate name in France is "Cosmos 2050" while Space 1999 is known in France as "Cosmos 1999", so I did not hallucinate. This is so great, thank you again, I would never have been able to find it myself !

Tanker, Controller, Dominator, Blaster... Tanker got Martial Arts not so recently. Dominator and Blaster got Martial assault/Manipulation more recently... Martial/Ki control ?
