I thought I would do a little exploration last night and wound up flying out to DS9 on my level 11 Romney and then figured I'd check out Quark's. WTF did I just walk into? Chat was making my eyes bleed. Are there holodecks in Quark's? Actually, I'm not sure I want to know the answer because of might be going on in there.

How's the game with a controller? They have dedicated 360 controller settings so they at least made some kind of effort and it's not completely terrible, right?

If you just want to plug in the controller and not have it be terrible you're going to be disappointed. You can in theory get it running well but you're going to have to setup custom keybinds for everything and the inventory management is going to be unworkable without a mouse/keyboard.

I honestly prefer to do most of my gaming with a gamepad and it's just not worth the effort for this one.

If you can bear it long enough to unlock the transporters, you can transport to a spot just below where the final 2 missions start and hang out there until enough pubbies form up to run the mission. Then follow them, shoot a couple of guys, and collect your marks.

If you are running Act III mish, two of the missions offer a choice of either Iconian or Delta (Last Breath and Breaking the Wall? I cant remember the names) that will include the daily bonus once every 20h.

The problem with running act III mish is that you actually have to complete the Act III mish the first time, which blows goats if you if have never run it.

Yeah, we can't enact any kind of punitive action on word alone. We need hard evidence. A screenshot is good, but video would be more conclusive.

To any pubbies reading the thread please collect this evidence so the proper rewards punishments can be served. Thank you.

Trusted Friend Lago and Dear Friend Buschmaki have always performed above and beyond the expectations of the rank and file of Dental. It's why we require such extensive evidence of these claims.

Or get impatient and hop between instances until you find one in progress. 6 minutes on a slow day and you leave with 2 probe cores and 76 marks.

Once I joined an pug ISA and before we even started, one of the other players started ranting about 'evil trolling dental' and that I would ruin the STF, so he was going to ruin my trolling by pre-emptively making us fail the optional*. I hadn't even said anything or started moving my ship when he announced this.

Since I have never seen a dental member intentionally causing problems in an STF, and I have seen other players cause problems and attempt to blame dental, I agree that he's a liar trying to besmirch some of our finest members.

Just because there hasn't been much in the way of pubbie drama lately, I will go ahead and post this: http://pastebin.com/VksHdM2n

Rake@elisetheangel, a pubbie frequently caught red-handed in ERP honeypot missions, and a guy who actually tried to bribe Sterie with ERP in order to get dental to leave him alone, is back and belligerent on Risa. After accusing Dental of being a "major perv" fleet full of pedophiles, Pucker and I found an ERP chat log of his and posted excerpts. He went ballistic.

Some highlights:

Rake@elisetheangel: how about, some help me to help you by setting you perv rear end on fire and watching it burn to a crisp while you scream the whole time, that would be nice

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS GUY?
I actually played some Ker'rat PvP yesterday and to make it really retro I met a bunch of HOBOs. Couple of things struck me:

1. Holy poo poo they're as bad as ever, if not worse, at PvPing. Didn't think it was as possible as it is to make someone melt so fast with a poo poo setup that I got but drat they really made me feel more competent than I am.

2. Didn't HOBO get disbanded by Linamia and goons snatched the name?

3. It was fun to see how fast the klanks joined our instance once I spoke once in chat to mock the HOBO and one of them identified me as a dental. I was the only fed without cloak so I was target #1 almost all the time but they just couldn't kill me despite my only healing powers being hazard emitters 1, EptS and TS2. My favorite was the moron with a torpedo boat who would decloak, fire of a torpedo spread and then recloak asap(if he got the time, often he just died in the short timeframe he was visible) and never once got my health below 95%. My pets did more damage to him each run than what he did with all his offensive buffs and poo poo activated each run.

The PvP is really awful these days but there's still some enjoyment to be found there. Being in a slow-rear end cruiser without cloak makes me a target so I always get stuff to do. :)

Most of the new ships have come in packs for all three factions with similar abilities and boff seating, but there may be a couple of new ships that can be considered more flexible for Romulans (like the Morrigu offering a universal slot for its intel ability, rather than a tactical for the federation) but the majority of ships (and dev. effort) can still be found on the federation side. The old T5/u Tulwar and Scimitar still remains the best ships if you're chasing damage as a Romulan and I think most people that buy new z-store ships generally does so to get the traits rather than the ships themselves.

There also the option of getting cross-faction ships from the lobi store/exchange if you're not specifically after a ship that "looks" Romulan (with the exception of the temporal science and destroyer which have faction specific designs).

I think that any "evidence" should be presented by the accuser to the most honorable judge Jojo, to make sure that any judgement is sound and impartial.

The Delta story arc should be what you're working on next, followed by the Iconian arc. Supplement with doffing, and more importantly Admiralty ship-flinging missions, once they become available.

Assuming your long break started before DR (when they increased the level cap), doffing XP is actually significantly worse than you remember. What has improved is XP from the Admiralty system, which is doffing but with ships. Cryptic doesn't mind people getting decent XP from admiralty because it encourages people to spend money on otherwise worthless ships just to increase their admiralty roster.

Combined doffing+admiralty makes about the same XP as doffing used to (or a little lower).

If it's the HoB group I'm thinking of buzzing around in Ker'rat with you, then one of them was still using that stupid destabilized torp for some reason - he tends to accidentally blow himself during borg FaW cycles pretty often. You'll just be flying around and all of a sudden there's a pretty red explosion halfway across the map and some dude raging in chat about unbalanced fed ships.

He has never answered when I've asked him why he upgraded that ship :v:
