Hey folks, I played this when it first came out for about a month or two, looking to get back into it. I started an account on the wiki as Phanatic and I'm in-game as Dangleberry. Can I get access to the wiki and the chat?

Hmm. Is there anything else that new romulus lacks now or is it actually a viable social hub for roms now?

I actually liked New Romulus because everything was very accessible. Though I guess I haven't been there since before Spacedock was revamped.

The Romulan expansion really marked the switch from old crappy launch maps to much better ones with new assets. New .gifs on the wall computers might not sound like much but holy poo poo, you take what you get in STO after a massive content drought like that.

Yeah look I'm probably being a little harsh about the place. It's a tiny bit annoying having to go downstairs to use the shipyard but that's really the only complaint.

Almost certainly this, likely intended for a lockbox re-release on consoles like the Dominion box and later dropped into the infinity box on PC or something.

Hah you think they won't just recycle the existing adapted tal shiar bridge?

Yeah, Cryptic almost never releases a bridge these days without it having some additional use. Look at how they threw the Kobali bridge, the Iconian bridge, the Nakhul bridge, the Kelvin bridge, and so on into the associated episodes released alongside them.

I could very easily see them doing a Kelvin Timeline Romulan patch with the Battlecruiser on the lobi, Destroyer in the box, and Narada in the promo pack.

Timberwolf is hosting a "Multiple Sclerosis Society Charity Live Stream!" on twitch.

An interesting tidbit about the donation link he's asking people to share:

https://oddshot.tv/shot/twolf1701/UzoYTnsIYTlBUoZGTSaTsCU6

timberwolf posted:

...because there have been a lot of issues in the past with posting [donation] links in other private channels like the trade channels, or the DPS channels or anything like that. Either people were getting- were getting banned or people were getting trolled or someone clicking on that link, or copy and pasting it, they were getting their account banned. So I prefer if you're sharing it, you're share it with friends... um.... in the privacy of your own fleet or armada chat or Facebook and Twitter, that kind of thing. Just to limit any kind of headache that could happen.
He repeated the same warning a few minutes later.

I got an e-mail this morning about my Star Trek Online Gold subscription being canceled. The thing is though is that I have not played STO in a very long time and I thought the Gold sub was phased out a long time ago when the Arc Games platform took over? There is no sub option to STO anymore I thought?

You can still sub or buy lifetime for some benefits: http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/7009153

Nothing about a gold subscription though. I think it might have been a glitch in Cryptics e-mail system. The url in the email links to one of their old pages that no longer exist and my account shows no purchase or sub history for this year.
