I got 99 problems but the British ain't one.
Tried to have a chat with Xter1ty while I was contrabanding this morning. Apparently pidgin only captures incoming tells not outgoing ones. Bright side there is he didn't seem to give a poo poo what I said and just went on his persecution complex tirade.

Enjoy.

Edit: After this exchange he muted me. So, you know, he's broken that personal rule of his about not muting people. Shame too, I was honestly trying to appeal to whatever sensibility he might have had left.

Oh yeah FrostyJones, I have all the bits for a TR gun made up. Just need to get them to you at some point. Also, can you make any other Lv 15 items ? I'd love to get a Sci and Engy console at some point.

I'm a long ways away from anything else 15. But if you're wanting Science and Engineering consoles, the best bet would be to just buy them directly from the exchange as the base Very Rare consoles are cheaper than the parts needed to make them.

As for anyone else wanting a rifle made: I am back in school and I work on campus now so I am fairly busy for most of the week. I can still take orders during the later parts of the week, so please get your materials/contra/parts/bribes/catalysts (two +25 cats are still the best bet, ~40% chance for Ultra Rare at about a million each as of this post) to me Wednesday night (murrica time). Rifles will be made three at a time in a first come first serve basis.

Not to be a pain, but could you list the Mats/Catalysts that are needed/best for that thing for a wiki page? I didn't even know about catalysts when I sent you my stuff to make one.

Little guide I made for approximating the German national sports outfit on feds, KDF sadly cannot get the "track" pants with the diplomacy outfit, but maybe there's other jogging pants type things out there.

You can use the "plain" faction scarves if you don't have a Tholian one, they cost about 500k on the exchange at best, though Romulans might be a bit screwed.

Fairly sure you can also approximate plenty of other countries/teams with the same setup.

Eh, personally I never thought she should be in that cat suit anyway, even as a 15 year old at the time I could see right through that pandering to horny nerds. Should've been in a standard uniform like the women in DS9.

Agreed, I much prefered her with the normal uniform in the timeship episodes she wore it in. The catsuit just looked awful and I felt pretty sorry for anyone stuck wearing it. Must have felt like a sausage in it's peel with that thing.

Is it me, or is Harry Kim the ONLY one in that picture who actually looks at all older? I guess it makes sense for The Doctor and Tuvok, but do Talaxians have heretofore-unstated extremely long lifespans? Did being assimilated stop Seven of Nine's aging process somehow even after it was (more or less) undone? Is it because of all the nanoprobes?

Well Patrick Stewart hasn't aged at all since TNG so maybe there's something to it.

I think Frakes looks older than Stewart does these days.

I missed almost all of DS9 and all of Voyager when I was younger, so I'm watching it on Netflix. Season 4 of DS9 is actually pretty good.

DS9 gets a lot better as you go along for the most part (especially in season six, which has two of the best episodes of the entire show IMO). I'm on the final chapter/arc (which is the last nine or ten episodes) and I forgot how well done it was for a show that pre-dates super popular serial dramas like :lost: and Breaking Bad.

I haven't had a chance to watch Voyager aside from a few episodes. But, my brother who is a huge Star Trek fan says that I'm not missing much and even the best episodes can't really compare to the good episodes of TNG and DS9.

There are around a dozen or so really solid episodes of Voyager. Problem is the show was crapping out over 20 episodes a season for 7 years, so that's bad. Even worse when there were consistently whole blocks of awesome DS9 episodes made at or around the same time before they hit even a mediocre one.

Hey. There's a Delta Rising pack. Try to not be TOO surprised.

Honestly, it's pretty shiny. Barebones info an all the new ships. (Shock: Klanks AND Romnies get screwed for ship choice!) (Actual shock: Bunch of Fed ships get cloaking devices.)

In addition, there's more stuff that'll be added to it. At the very least, a Dauntless Science Ship and some new Intelligence uniforms.

$125. Probably a better deal than buying the ships individually.

So we have a Fed escort. With a cloaking device (not conceptually weird, but aren't they balanced around not having that?). And a Sensor-Analysis rip-off.

I'll withhold judgment until we see stats, but my knee-jerk reaction is "What the actual gently caress."

She looks like a well preserved mid-forties, which is probably a fair comparison given all that future medicine and so forth.

How about that cloaky Fed battlecruiser with a hull drain clicky AND Sensor Analysis ripoff? I don't think we've hit max stupid yet.

I'm guessing it's because the Romulus pack had both leveling and endgame versions of the ships but this seems like a less good deal. Price is about the same but it feels like you're getting less.
Glad to see they pretty much admit to going full on lazy with ship selections, Feds, you get 4 types, everyone else, fast or tanky, stop being so greedy. Remember when most of the KDF ships were a motley crew of weird cast offs? Sure almost all of them are garbage but at least there was a choice, now you get turns or tanks.

Guys, I think STO is feeling like it did before dilithium. (Remember how stale the game got before the dilz update? I think I stopped playing for 8 months and didn't miss anything. They're constantly adding stuff but it's more FarmVille menus like crafting and doffs, less stuff you can actually do and the few new missions are always queue-less)

They're seriously terrible. Even if they're way better than the upgraded T5U ships, I still don't want to fly them as they look butt-ugly. They barely even look like Federation ships. gently caress y'all, I'm gonna fly the Enterprise-E and the Suluboat all day every day.

I think Seasons 4 and 6 of DS9 are the two best seasons in all of Star Trek. There's just so many good episodes back to back.
