Sighence posted:So it turns out my old 50 wasn't wiped as much as it was under an email I didn't think I used for any games. Most of those you can skip. If you want, the temporal ambassador will net you a free ship. Though, it is a tie 3 or 4 I believe and pretty terrible. Sphere of influence has to be done iirc as it unlocks your ability to use the dyson gate where all the fun happens anymore. The others, you can just bring up in the mission log and select skip till you get through them all. As you are 50, there isn't much point in them. There are a few missions worth taking a few times because of the items they give which the wiki will help with (I think). As for dentals, the fleet is still pretty active and has a fully upgraded starbase, mine, dyson thing, and embassy. So you can just sit back in there and enjoy all that the game has to offer.

People like to talk about how awful /trade chat in WoW is, and sure, since you've got a bunch of manchildren masturbating into their Guy Fawkes masks, it's plenty stupid and offensive. STO chat though... good god, it's depressing. There's this awful, grating smugness, between the armchair experts in every field and the constant joust of series warriors that makes me embarrassed to be a part of the sci-fi fandom.

So, today technical and I played the new spotlight missions Mirror Nova. Announced as a part (the winner) of Foundry Challenge #9 (the Mirror of New Romulus), expectations were running high. Does Mirror Nova deliver? No. Playtime: 30 minutes Rating: 3/5 Canary: Suicide by Reman Dil reward: Bugged out and did not give me a reward Strengths: You can blow up pink Remans on the ground map Weaknesses: Technobabble, bad science, kinda lackluster, doesn't actually contain Mirror New Romulus Short summary: You are sent to look after a disappeared Romulan ship. After space portion #1 where you discover a portal into the mirror universe you are stopping (ground portion) the Reman Empire from invading our New Romulus by (space portion #2) blowing up the sun (and escaping by technobabble). It's pretty bland if you only skim the dialogue, but if you read them you will start pulling out your hair. Long summary: After D'Tan demands you meet him on New Romulus you find yourself foisted off to some nameless assistant who sends you out to find the RRW LostShip which was last seen in some system which the New Romulans have a terraforming interest in. Once you are in said system, your science officer surprises you by telling you that not only does the sun emit as therefor only theoretically conceived particle, but it also forms a lattice in the system for unknown reasons. Oh, and the sun will create a big explosion in under an hour which will saturate the system with these particles. After scanning some particle clouds (where we also find out this shiny particle is radioactive), a portal forms and we are promptly swallowed by it and spat out on the other side - we know this is the mirror universe because there's a transwarp gate and a Romulan base nearby. Sadly, as we find out, this base is protected by comic book villain Remans (they offer to only torture and kill us if we surrender, instead of defeating and THEN torturing and killing us) which we promptly blow up. Getting a mystery transmission with some coordinates from the station, we beam in on one coordinate (trusting the sender blinds as Fed captains are wont to do) and are now on board of a Reman station, where we promptly kill the poo poo out of the inhabitants. Thankfully it turns out that the Remans' security system relies entirely on IDs carried by implants and we can somehow emulate these implant signals with our bog standard tricorders. After my officers are done laughing about the dumb Remans (and one officer remarks 10 minutes after being implanted with a transponder that they'd never be implanted with anything) we are on our way into high security labs cordoned off by colorful fog (supposedly not a security feature but for detox). We find the only Romulan on board of the station who is of course a member of the terribly oppressed Romulan Resistance and sent us the coordinates. She wants us to blow up the sun with a Soranite torpedo and waxes poetically about Soran from Star Trek VII. There might be a theme here, as we find out later: the Romulan Resistance blew up Romulus' sun with such a torpedo and the Remans killed off New Romulus with talaron weapons. Well it's not like this is the brainiac universe. So we technobabble up the needed materials (killing more Remans on the way), have 10 minute of terrible doubt about this poo poo and then leave to blow up the sun so that the Reman fleet of 931 loving Warbirds and 13 stations doesn't invade the poo poo out of us when the sun does its thing in less than an hour. The Romulan scientist of course stays behind so that we don't have any unfortunate questions to ask ourselves later on. Oh and the RRW LostShip's crew was of course tortured to death so we don't have any inconvenient prisoners to free either. In space portion 2 we do some dodging around nav points, blow up two more warbirds, and then shoot the sun with a torpedo. Thankfully Fed scientists have used 4 minutes inbetween beaming back on board and flying towards the sun to figure out how they can use this side's version of the lattice to ride the particle shockwave from the sun as it blows up back into our universe. So okay, we kinda anticlimatically steer into the sun (STO's space assets are not made for this, much less foundry maps so I kinda hang out in the corona while the foundry hasn't yet realized I hit the nav point), and it disappears to show us some Romulans who were sent to for the disappeared Federation ship which was looking for the disappeared Romulan ship. It's never made clear why this side's sun is in another spot from the mirror sun, but whatever. The mission ends here and technical got his reward (I didn't). gently caress teaming up in the foundry! Aside from bog standard gameplay, the mission is dragged down by the science/technobabble bullshit. I went past walls of text to watch my bridge officers click some buttons to change Paralithium into Trilithium. A honorable mention goes to the terrible characters (the comic book villain Remans who keep losing planets left and right stand out as well as the Romulans who feel the need to name their sun-killing torpedoes after our universe's Soran), and the few sad attempts of the foundry author to give us choice (we get to choose between "Goodbye" "Good luck", "By the elements", "This is logical" and similar things and have exactly two species specific answers). It's not technically a bad, just medicore mission, but the moment you stop shooting things to actually read the dialog it becomes nearly unbearable technobabble bullshit of the worst kind.
