It was mostly me growing tired of managing a bunch of spergs, and the game itself becoming monotonous, so I quit. Been itching to shoot things in space without too much effort (i.e. EVE), but it looks like STO is still stuck in a perpetual cycle of a) release new c-store ships, b) release new featured ep and/or content lite, c) go to step a.

You got tired of spergs so you started playing EVE. Yeah, makes perfect sense.

He quit playing STO so all of his characters eventually got demoted and removed as inactive. He was still a mod on /r/sto, so he tried backseat driving. He also made weird threats to people.

In the Grim Darkness of the Future, there is only war.

...and delicious ice cream.
I played a few more missions last night, the mirror universe one was pretty fun. I got an Ambassador-class out of it too, I always thought it was an underappreciated ship.

Anyway, how should I fit it out? I'm a tac captain but would like to fly around with a neat Cruiser for a bit just to change things up. I used to run cruisers but was terrible at it, so I'm open to suggestions. In the mission they had a dual phaser bank on the front, turret on the back, and the rest were normal phaser beams/photon torpedoes. It worked badly.

Also, I've got 60k credits so far. What's a good way for a Commander to generate credits? Doffing?

If you are able to at this level, run doff missions that grant contraband (Confiscate contraband from crew, under the Personal tab). They are at least 40k each on the exchange. Also white doffs themselves can go from 10k to 70k on the exchange.

And when you're done with the farm, the Undine Space Battlezone has a good loot drop rate. Stick with a group of people to get more spawns.

Hi Saber!

:v: Sup. Not quite how it happened; I was removed as moderator for "backseat moderating", but left the fleet on my own, since I know that the roster is perpetually full and who needs a retired admiral, anyway?

I was a bit irked that no one, not even Enzo (the other mod that screenshot), had the decency to kindly ask me to stop moderating, which I would have agreed with. I guess I played the "bad cop" too well and the other admirals started believing that I really was a loose cannon furiously typing out threats, not realizing that I was only acting as a foil to the overly nice Enzo... but I did make "weird threats" to people if they were acting like shitheads. Can you blame me for trying to moderate a community that I put a lot of work into, even if I didn't actively play the game anymore?

People over there seemed to quickly forget that I: a) started and constructed 80% of the wiki content (the other 20% was contributed by users that the community also probably forgot about... rip redhotkurt), b) overhauled the CSS, and c) rebuilt the fleet after the previous admiral's e-drama.

:ughh:

I guess none of it matters since the game is approximately where it was when I left. The sodium is still running through my veins, though.

I wasn't going to say anything, but while I am a shithead, a doctor told me I wasn't a sperg 15 years ago. Any animosity involved in Saber's departure was entirely one-sided and unknown to us until he showed up here last night. :shrug: Our e-drama is the most boring e-drama ever.

On the topic of STO, the Patrol Escort Refit is my new favorite thing. I hope they give more of the ancient level 40 ships the same treatment.

This is because reddit is a poo poo heap filled with broken people. If you need to spend more then an hour a year on moderation of the community you have built, its hopeless and beyond repair.

Reddit will never be an actual community, its just fundamentally broken at the most basic levels.
