I thought it also assimilated players in PvE for a team buff
It's like a whopping 5% cooldown reduction, barely even worth it as a toggle. The debuff version is way better.

SFX is amazing though, Cryptic did great there.

I still occasionally see pugs doing less than 5k in ISA. A 5% cooldown reduction from one of those players would probably increase overall team DPS. And don't forget - it's gloabl cooldown reduction, which is always nice.

We can turn that feature off, right? I don't really feel like having a bridge full of pale Orion women.

Seriously though, could anything we do really be considered cyperbullying? I mean, what, we stand around when Xean is preaching on ESD, we feed his starbase our precious dilithium to help him, and we drop disco balls to spread the joys of dance to everyone.

Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using electronic technology. Electronic technology includes devices and equipment such as cell phones, computers, and tablets as well as communication tools including social media sites, text messages, chat, and websites.

Examples of cyberbullying include mean text messages or emails, rumors sent by email or posted on social networking sites, and embarrassing pictures, videos, websites, or fake profiles.

The real question may be: is it still cyberbulling if we're just documenting an individual whose every action is naturally embarrassing, even though they are oblivious to that fact?

According to Xean, existing and being in the same space is cyberbullying. Dude doesn't seem to know how to just ignore anything.

Don't you dare try and use facts to twist his wild accusations against him you TROLL. You and your cyber-hyper-bullying (cyperbullying) are going to be defeated by heroes like Xean making a stand and getting banned from the official forums for daring to speak out against the tos oppressive modship and corruption that he has absolutely no evidence of! :argh:

It has peach skin-tone options instead of being all green, so weird people use it to make "human" slave girl characters.

Wasn't one of the weirdos, like Linmia or whoever talking at one point about how the darker orion skin tones were weird or gross or something?

I normally don't go in for all the shaming you guys do to these poor free-thinkers, but that idea irritated the poo poo out of me.

Lina kicked people from HOBO because their Orion toons were too green. All Orions had to be white or, if you wanted to push boundaries, a very, very faint, barely-visible green. He also kicked members who did not have the boob slider maxxed out.

Does anyone have the angry e-mail he sent his fleet railing against small boobs?
