It's not bad for what it is and there's not really another ship like it aside from the (admittedly far superior) Nicor. That said... yeah, it's probably the least exciting of the three options.

Just Jesus cryptic, how hard can it be to scan someone's ship list, see if they have it or not, and credit as appropriate? :psyduck:

Short a weapon slot though. Okay and with a bit more turn but who really cares in PVE.

Ok, so I'm using the snow blower right now which is ok, but in some ways reminds me of a weapon for mr freeze. I've seen someone use a snow weap that does a particle stream similar to ghostbusters. I think it had a backpack as well just not as big. What gun was that?

Freezing Mist, one of the new weapons. It's not very good in my opinion.

Hell.

Yes.
That would have to be the Freezing Mist. It's more of a split-beam weapon from what I've seen and the description but it's still a pretty cool gun.

The guns I use 90% of the time are Hail and the Snowblower still. Most of the new weapons really aren't that great in general.

So I weighed in on that stupid loving STO thread. Countdown until my post is deleted.

The [REDACTED] and his 'fleet' (which pretty much all seem to be the same thing/person) have caused nothing but upset and negativity in the game (despite the surreal attempt a few months ago to 'turn themselves around').

I can understand that the dev team does not want to take unilateral action based upon hearsay in the forums alone, but by the sounds of it many people have also filed GM reports about the individual involved, yet they do not seem to have been inhibited.

And what can we extrapolate from this? Tons of GM reports filed, nothing done to these horrible people despite them playing for years? Hundreds of hours spent crying and wailing and gnashing teeth on the forums about them, yet they're still here?

They're not breaking any rules, so they still get to play. They're not doing anything wrong, so they still get to play. Their rights don't end where your feelings begin. Just because you don't like how someone else plays the game within the rules, doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to play. You're not the high arbiter of justice, deciding that because those people did something you don't like, they should be banned. That's PWE and Cryptic's job, and they've had YEARS to look over this. The fact these people are still here is because, shock horror, they've done nothing wrong.

I know this is going to be hard for you to accept.

They imagine their bridge as their harem and another dude in their harem makes it totally gay

Not skybuck, just a random pubbie that got annoyed with Olivia and a few other players. He actually had no idea he caused this big of a shitstorm until we linked him the thread, and now he's gone all-out. I think he's a teenager.

Yes. Also, the 3-piece is useless- the pet rarely employs the doom cannon correctly, and the damage is laughable.

They are definitely horrible, but it's often where player tears are at their best, as any and all frustration from the game itself seems to explode on the forums.

are they just making it up now because they're claiming that this patch or w/e didn't work? they don't seem remotely important so i don't get why someone is allegedly spamming them. also why don't they just switch to anon mode?

So, Xean just admitted to telling someone to kill himself, but claims that it was in response to that person flaming him for weeks. He also posted 4 chat screenshots to "prove" things, but none of them show anyone telling Xean to die. Two screenshots are people talking about the pic of Xean telling people to die, one is about someone saying that Xean is "literally worse than hitler" but he managed to miss the actual comment and just screenshotted people talking about it :ughh:

None of the screenshots show any ongoing, serious harassment of Xean. I'm sure that the lack of evidence is just proof of the size of the conspiracy against him.
