And for the record, I was not AFK. I was alt tabbed and playing Fallout.

Pretty sure fallout is amazing and compared to star trek even better.

Best part about it; it matters if you press buttons or not, and, as if that's not good enough, you want to participate because the content is interesting and fun.

I mean not me. I don't like fallout. But, you know. If you do, it's great.

They managed to really poo poo up the STO forum again, badly.

For a long time you could access their forum directly, at forum.arcgames.com/... , to avoid having it embedded -badly- in their arcgames.com/forum site.

They managed to poo poo that up, and in the process, somehow made it impossible for anyone to open threads in new tabs. No tabbed browsing on the Star Trek Online forum. It is special and different from the rest of the internet.

It still suffers from the original problems their broken embed had, like not being able to hold the mouse wheel to scroll, and not fitting mobile screens.

Except now they figured out how to break it worse, because hey, web pages are hard, especially forums.

It's kind of a shame, they've been doing so well with the game, on the cryptic side, recently, for PWE's unprofessionalism and shoddy work to mar it like this.

Doesn't look like it's Trendy's fault about the forums, but you can't envy her position having to front for this kind of poo poo tier mess.

With all the terrible forum behavior, I wonder how successful a semi-official offsite STO forum could be. Running on a little less terrible software.

It'd probably be too much :effort: but it'd be hilarious if Nerds of Prey Online ended up being the forum everyone used to talk about STO.

They're upset that he was AFKing in Mirror. For some reason AFKing in mirror normal drives pubbies insane. You get more marks for AFKing in MIA, but I've been doing the event in MIN because the tears sustain me. If you want more tears, here's a reddit thread full of people upset about AFKers.

For those who follow the thread but don't play, Mirror takes ~12 minutes to run no matter how well you do it. If you complete a mirror normal queue perfectly, you'll get 116 marks. If you AFK the whole thing, only killing the boss at the end, you'll get 96 marks. All other rewards are the same. And it's easy enough that two decently geared players could complete it with all optionals by themselves. A good team that actually tries will complete all the objectives 5 minutes in, then have to wait 5 more minutes with literally nothing to do while the timer counts down before the boss shows up. And yet pubbies can't figure out why people would want to AFK it.

Afking is hacking and altering someone's online experience without consent is assault. It's a hard knock life.

Actually I think you'll find being AFK in Mirror Advanced is actually racism, a hate crime and also sexual assault. Anyone who does that is going to double FBI prison and totally getting their account banned for the capital crime of standing on a deck chair.

You can't steal marks.

No one got mad about it Troika. It was a joke. You couldn't take it, and so we kept it going. Next time, roll with the joke instead of getting defensive.

They've started the final model of the Carrier. They even called it the Jupiter. Well at least the ship in the screenshots is called that.

Honestly, I don't think it looks half bad from this angle



The nacelles actually look good compared to the last few ships they released. Remind me of the Odyssey and the Sovereign.
