Apparently SyFy is doing some cosplay show and one of the contestants decided to go with a pubbie sto bio for their entry:

quote:

One is heavily inspired by the Iconians, and also a little bit of the Borg, She is a character that – she’s the oldest being in the universe. And she’s the only one of her kind that anybody knows of. And she’s tasked kind of with being a caretaker of life. And she’s also the destroyer of life. So she goes around the universe, kind of a little bit like a Q. But she’s not as much of a jerk, as the Qs are. So she’ll go around and see a world, and look at the inhabitants there, and if they’er causing any destruction, she’ll sort of set them straight. And she uses the weapon, on her back, which I call the Genesis – the orb inside is called the Genesis – and that funnels all of the energy and the knowledge in the universe, and it directly funnels it into her body.

So she can use the energy and the knowledge to her advantage, so she can kind of destroy beings that are being ridiculous and destroying things, or she can create life, and make things that are beautiful.

But one of the things she’s also doing – because she doesn’t know where she came from. She’s so old, and the only one of her kind, and she’s essentially a god, so she’s also trying to figure out where she came from. And since the Genesis is the only thing in the universe that’s older than her, and since it has these runes on it that nobody can understand, she’s also going around and searching for where she came from.

Yea, kicked everyone except the leader and took the bank. I then left so that fleet leader would think I was another victim. He fell for it and we'll have leadership again in a week or two. He also put another 100 million in the bank and I want that

Figured I'd give this game a try, getting bored of WoW for now. Made a Romulan Tactical Officer, just because I like being evil Vulcans. I assumed a dps character would be the best way to get a feel for the game. Is there any kind of leveling guide or trait guide? I'm just following the single player story and got my science bridge officer. I see that I can switch my space and ground traits around, but they look a little overwhelming. I didn't get any tutorial info on what "exploit" means, for example.

I got 99 problems but the British ain't one.
Expose and exploits are just a fancy way of doing more damage on the ground. If you see an orange reticle circling your target, that means they're exposed and an exploit attack will do extra damage to them.

That's why you're in the Academy, Gio. It was a good shot for some money back, but at least you aren't being beaten for bad behavior within the main fleet. I still have panic attacks from that.

The good news is that right now DPS is about the only thing that matters in PVE, and RomTac is pretty much the best at DPS. The bad news is that they're changing how everything works in a week, so any advice you get on end-game gearing is probably going to be worthless real soon.

RomTac will still be the best at DPS and DPS will still be the only thing that matters in PVE though, that part isn't really changing any. :toot:

Good point.

Hey, HotBobaloo - while you're leveling, keep an eye out for bridge officers with the Superior Romulan Operative trait. They're pretty much the best possible choice for bridge officers in your ship, and as far as I can tell that won't change next week.

That's because you don't know the full story... The fleet leader we're targeting is a sperg known for harassing anyone who does not follow him, for doxxing and for constant meltdowns against Dentals (among others) when his ERPing in local chat is rightfully interrupted. I usually don't gently caress with people's fleets but it was necessary
