And we're sure that "twenkymapes," a name that seems almost like it specially designed to make me want to spit and clench my fist, isn't a pulse alt and that this isn't some kind of prank?

Sadly, it looks like the answer is maybe yes. Even if I hope it isn't so.

Someone linked to this disgrace in TNG as well. I think we're due an explanation (that isn't poo poo). I count 4 x Pulse mentions.

So is pulse a deep cover goon hero, or has he gone native? Is this a triumph or a tragedy?

Pulse is pretty space rich isn't he?

The predilections of the space rich are not open to criticism. Eccentricity is eccentricity.

The proper response to a 'scandal' in this context is to sweep it under the rug and never speak of it again.

It's how things are done.

So the story continues and our hero is left sitting at risa, observing a male ERPist 'kneeling' in front of another for minutes in one of the beach huts, and thinking to himself: 'How might this furry ERPist Pulse have earned all of his space wealth??'.

So this thread was brought to my attention a little while ago, and I can actually weigh in a little bit here. I have seen that screenshot before and it was taken before this whole twenkymapes thing. Now while I was asked to not reveal the identity, I can say that its someone from this list. Now you can make of this what you will, but I for one am going to enjoy seeing this explained away. :munch:

For my part, "among friends, no explanation is necessary" wins the day.

And - pulse is space rich, so who among us can sit in judgment? If he is eccentric in his tastes, and I stress the 'if,' then that's his business and his alone.

Pulse is a godly man. And a Survivor.

So what you are saying is that you endorse harboring furry ERPists, who are also apparently godly. Interesting.

A brother goon and brother space rich's personal interests aren't open to criticism in my view. Assuming these people are lying and this screenshot is actually some new thing.

Goons infiltrating the heart of the reddit cat girl gross man club is a triumph.

Or, pulse is space rich and therefore beyond bourgeois right and wrong.

Pulse was a redditor catgirl (unironically) before he joined SA. So if anything, he's infiltrated the heart of Dental.

I just discovered that I have access to the Chimera. So, I was thinking of turning it into a Fleet 5U version, and having it run Gravity Well 1 / Scatter Volley with DHC's, or an alternate Dual Beam Bank arrangement up front with two Omni (Ancient and the arc) and a KCB up back with the usual FAW arrangement. Is this ship any good that way?

Lest anyone forget, Grimrak won the "Bring an awful pubbie contest" in the first Wesley Christmas by bringing Pulse and his catgirl alts.

e: So I was curious and went back to check the record. It is disturbing how many awful pubbies that were brought to that party managed to stick around and become regulars. Watch your backs, people.


Anyways, how do doff jobs work with the big space map now. Do the jobs change from sector to sector or is it just one list for the whole galaxy?

It's divided into sector blocks like it was before.

Just thought I'd pop back in and point out how good the Caitian homeworld thread is getting.

This one pubbie is going full retard over people rationally explaining to him why Caitians should not get a special zone for themselves:

quote:

Heh, these sort of arguments were common back in the Deep South since after the Civil War...

"Whut? Them drat yankee city folk dun gave the colored folk the vote, and now theys asking for special treatment such as being allowed into the poling station to USE it? Hell with that, where's mah .30-06..."

quote:

"Race X MUST NOT be allowed to ask for what Race Y already has..."

Yes, technically, it IS racism, albeit digital racism in a fictional context.

Do you still kinda like the game? Then no real harm to pop in to see the new episodes and get a look at the new sector space.

If not, yeah there's no real reason to. The new queues aren't bad but obnoxious to pug and queues in general remain dead thanks to the idiotic DR changes, so farming up marks for the new rep is a bit redious.

I am getting the same by now. Unsurprisingly the main "supporter" in here played ArcheAge with the guy in question as well.

Anyways, back on the topic of spaceship game and not meta game: http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9213253-release-notes%3A-april-23rd-2015

-Bridge Officers which should not be dismissible, such as Tovan Khev, cannot be turned in to Training Manuals.

Sadly pubbies will no longer have the option of experiencing their bridge bunnies speak to them in a male voice, with proper lip sync and all.
