Looks like they're going to gently caress us out of the 2.5x xp week.

Yesterday the progress bar went live at 9 AM PST, and by 1 pm PST had reached 81% full. about 20% per hour.

Then, borticus logged on and fielded some questions in reddit chat channel.

At that time, the bar stopped moving, and afterward only moved at a rate of 1% per hour, 20x slower than before bort logged on.

At 1pm PST today, it's on tier2 but pegged at 0% complete.

Do you like ships?

Of course you like ships, it's just what you'll need with the new Admiral system around the corner!

How about getting all of these ships?Until the end of this month (oct 31st) I will be holding a contest to find the most :psypop: pubby you can find. This can be either by their outfit, content of their bio or through their actions or chatter; something that makes the pubby you found the most unnerving and creepiest of Halloween monsters.

Entries can be in the form of screenshots or logs, and just post them in this thread so I can see them.

Let the one with the worst pubby win!


(if you're interested in some science ships you can check out my writing or screenshots contests)

Does Xean count for purposes of this contest? Because I think it'll be pretty hard to top him :v:

Xean (just like Linamia and Sollvax) is a valid entry, but you'd have to enter with something new rather than using old chat logs, screenshots or videos.

I'm OK if the same pubby is entered by more than one person, it's the quality of the submitted entry on its own that is important, rather than who the pubby actually is or our history with them.

Does this really surprise you? Bort hates letting players get extra XP. He's also currently lowering XP rewards from the admiralty system on tribble. And I'm pretty sure tribble is still giving double XP, so prepare to be underwhelmed with the XP rewards when season 11 finally goes live.

As some of you may know, the United Nations recently held a symposium on the cyber-violence such as cybobully and trole and determined it was equivalent to real-world violence such as seen in Sudan.

As some of you may not know, confidential sources indicate that xean may be planning a campaign to get PWE/Cryptic Studios to become party to the International Criminal Court. Presumably, he plans to bring charges against prominent members of the Dental fleets in the ICC and see us punished for our imagined crimes.

Since we have always wanted to help xean and his fleet, I think this is an opportunity for us to show our good intentions and helpful dispositions.

So, would any of the ahtists among us be so inclined, i suggest making a series of international ICC wanted posters for various goons, showing pictures of their sto toons and lists of charges.

Not as bad as the guy bitching on reddit about getting banned from the STO forums and calling Trendy's accident "karma." But yes, still very low and terrible.

This guy is worse then pathetic:

STO redditor meltdown posted:

And my access to a community I was interacting with on a daily basis was permanently taken away from me because Trendy disagreed with me, and rather than hash it out with me like an adult she chose to abuse her power instead. Consider that.

And no, emotional anguish and abuse ARE important, and CAN be as significant as physical pain, particularly as I know for a fact I am not the only one she has done this to.

And, of course, completely deranged.

Same Reddit sperg posted:

Oh, did I? I'm not even aware of what happened. Was she hit? Was she driving? Did she cause an accident? I don't know. Nor do I particularly care what the circumstances are,

All I said that karma's a bitch. Nothing more. For someone who, again, abuses the STO forums like her own personal fiefdom and boasts about how many people she's banned each day, some minor back pain sounds like an appropriate level of karma getting it's own back.

Moreover, that's obviously not what I was banned for is it? Obviously I'm angry now, after she abused her position to ban me and then ignore my petitions for help because now I see just what kind of person she really is.

I haven't seen anything on the forums (aside from a ridiculous attempt to claim credit for Trendy organising those story blogs into a compendium, based on a post it made months ago that nobody read) but this is not remotely a surprise: as soon as Protogoth got a warning I was pretty sure it would be banned shortly afterward - as unlike STOLeviathan, Protogoth just cannot help itself - it would inevitably see the infraction as a gross injustice (as Protogoth is always 100% right) and would subject Trendy to a barrage of lippy and snide comments.

[Local] Lauren Biddle@l31: I'm not a push over yet got one shot disintigrated 3 times.
[Local] Lauren Biddle@l31: I'm set all for ground too.
[Local] DJ Kinneas@Kinneas: Oh there are some epic epic players out there. It can happen.
[Local] Nbreeki@nabreeki: What's your setup?
[Local] DJ Kinneas@Kinneas: I've been seeing the most amazing firepower in the last few weeks.
[Local] Nbreeki@nabreeki: Epic gear doesn't mean anything
[Local] Ribbon@atquick: You're only as Epic as you feel.
[Local] DJ Kinneas@Kinneas: Well you know what I mean. Great players.
[Local] Nbreeki@nabreeki: Epic is inside you.

Space traits - Nakura aug def and offense, enhanced shield pen, 4% crit, 5% armour pen
Personal - Ablative shell, Accurate, Biotech Patch, Rom operative, crippling fire, elusive, living hull, nanite repair matrix and point blank shot.

Also looking at another ship to gently caress around with in a few weeks and Galor was recommended but wasn't too sure if its decent DPS due to 3 tac consoles. Ar'kif any good?

It looks like you should be doing some pretty top-notch PvE performance with this build, as is. Here's some critiquing, regardless:

A mix of only [CrtD]/[Dmg] would get slightly better results than [CrtD]/[CrtH]/[Dmg] with [Pen] beams. I'd consider going with the Iconian core over the fleet core, since you're using OSS (hot restart is very useful with OSS). Personally, I'd replace the 2 embassy flow consoles with Bioneural Infusion Circuits and a Tachyokinetic Converter, but it probably wouldn't make a huge difference, damage-wise. I'd add the All Hands on Deck ship trait. I'd swap out the nukara defensive trait with the Dyson crit severity trait if it isn't critical to survival. I'd swap out some of those personal traits (accurate, biotech, elusive, living hull, nanite repair, potentially even romulan operative) with Inspirational Leader, Fluidic Coccoon, Intense Focus, and Beam Barrage (potentially Coalition Starship Tactics and Anchored, if survivability isn't already at the limit).

Since you have Reciprocity, I'd change those Tac boffs to:

Tac - Kemo1, Kemo2

You don't really need that Sci Team 2, since you're running with a valdore console. I'd swap it out with something offensive like a Destabilizing Resonance Beam or Tractor Beam Repulsor with a pull doff.
