The problem with the kobali zone rewards is you have to do all the tedious bullshit quests in the zone to get access to them, though you're fine once you do. Still the only decent way to get iconian marks/tokens though.

And yeah, both battlezones need quick transwarp options, or a gateway from ESD, or whatever.

I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.
As mentioned previously, I've updated the rep bludging guide with Terran marks, and the annoying ways you can get them.

A new leak surfaced today, too. It may excite you.

They held a vote for where the pubbies wanted new content to be focused. They voted overwhelmingly for Voyager. We got Delta Rising. I don't think it was even close, either - Voyager by a landslide.

Most of the forum users are probably people who grew up watching Voyager.

I was one of them. I liked it when it was new, but 20 years later I know better.

There are a handful I like, but not enough to vote for it.

If it awarded marks I'd happily do this over space battlezones.

They gave exploration badges, currency used to buy level appropriate green items. Mostly useless, except having 15,000 of the b'tran ones bumped me up to the highest reward tier at the f2p transition, unlocking a buncha free dil and a veteran boff.

Can't see the haters.
So guess who's back in STO.

He also has a "show" where he answers "viewers' questions" for his videos that usually get 1 to 10 views and has no comments in the comments section.

The pastebin is good, but what interests me more is the resurfacing of Klytemnestra -- creator of the infamous 25-minute anti-disco youtube video with voice modulator and horribly rendered 3D animation of character -- in the TTS channel. What is the TTS channel?
And they're back on Risa for some R&R.

So he's also (or was) a sales rep for Cutco knives (if you're unaware, it's basically a "too good to be true" sales scam), and spergs out if anyone says anything negative about Cutco, the product, or all the poor souls who've been scammed by working for them. I can't seem to find it, but I have a long-winded, strongly-worded rant of his defending Cutco.

Doffing got nerfed into the ground, you should be grinding admiralty* assignments instead.

You seriously need to stop ignoring the chat.

You're invited, and have been for a couple of days now.

Sorry about that.
I am playing this game with my seven year old son he likes it (to much).

I am now at the stage of learning about the duty officers etc. so I am still very early into the game.
Also I am a slow learner probably.

I did got several fleet invites etc. I thought it where random people not sure you guys where that.

In this game you are being promoted very fast, I was wondering what the actual game play is pvp pve or roleplaying.
I love to dick around the movie with the disco ball is hilarious.
This would be my play style I don't care that much if my ship is 100 feet or 10000 feet.

And so now and then I let my kid play the wasd keys.

So I can't run the game anymore; the launcher is stuck at a 'Loading, please wait...' screen and trying to log in with the actual client gives me a cannot contact account server error. Is STO broken or is it just my PC?

We don't talk about that any more, it was a seriously uncool thing and if pubbies ever found out about it we'd never live it down.

Goon has 8 year old kid playing spaceships and in our fleet, kid asked if he could take some gear from the fleet bank, this was granted, he took everything and the person in charge of monitoring the bank at the time flipped the gently caress out and the rest of us got concerned until we realised all we lost was a bunch of lovely blues and greens that had been sitting untouched for months, upon which we laughed and made fun of the bank monitor for caring about literal vendor trash. The only successful bank robbery of our fleet, something pubbies have been threatening us with for ages, and it was pulled off by an 8 year old. Never forget.
