I was one of the goons freaking out when it happened. Not because I gave a poo poo about what was grabbed but I was worried that some @handle that no one recognised had gotten into the fleet and promoted to looting privileges. Once I knew what actually happened I thought it was hilarious though.

On a whim I upgraded some of my antiproton cannons to MK15 on my Bajoran pew pew that is ... I guess my main? drat. I didn’t realize it was that big of a difference. Which I feel a bit silly about since I’ve played on and off since beta. I guess the numbers just never made any sense to me and the game was easy enough without doing any crunching.

I love how an 8 year old successfully robbed us while all the pubbie spies couldn’t pull it off. That kid was a hero.

New TFO is literally nothing but shooting at things, press F for a little bit (un-interruptable for some reason so feel free to keep shooting while doing so) followed by more shooting things. I don't know how they managed to make a dumbed down version of Mirror Invasion but this is apparently it. Currently unknown if it is 100% AFK-able or not.

Someone remind me to bookmark this so I have it handy the next time I point out that the STO is a perilously stacked jenga tower of coding kludges atop a different game's engine that has no business running at all but somehow does regardless.

It kinda reminds me of the time the first public service channel imploded - the founders did some initial good groundwork to set up a useful community resource, which attracted interest and users from across the playerbase, not realising that after a while it grew beyond them into a shared community resource, and completely failing to understand the backlash when they try to reassert control. There is something special about the sheer lack of social awareness on the part of these kind of players. There is literally no possibility these people are going to get what they want - Cryptic don't give a poo poo about player disputes, and most folks will just move onto a new site. They don't even explain what the problem is, beyond incoherent whining about unspecified bugs.

Some random comments from this thread regarding the closing of the subreddit. http://archive.is/gWB45 redditor posted:'cause shooting the wider community's foot is really going to get Cryptic to sit up and take notice. Well played. 😔 another redditor posted:Well, at least one person has just flushed down the toilet any expectation of credibility or trust from others not just in this game, but in any other game community they join going forward. a redditor too posted:What's most comical about this otherwise disgraceful display of petulant butthurt by a segment of the STO community is that they think they're the only game in town; that there aren't other sites that offer builds or that someone else couldn't come along and form another sub for builds that will put the players first rather than exploit them in favor of some grandiose statement to Cryptic. another redditor probbably, but not the previous one posted:This is a damned temper tantrum, pure and simple, and I'm seriously disappointed that they would be willing to hurt players and try to damage the game in order to get what they want. Taking the sub hostage is a dick move, I don't care what reasoning you have. some random redditor posted:As a brand new STO player (just downloaded two days ago), I've got a message for those who choose to hijack player resources to prove how mad at the devs they are: gently caress You. last redditor posted:What a bunch of crybabies lol. Kael@Cryptic posted:I'm reaching out to the STO builds moderation team. I'll see what I can do - ultimately, this is a player run resource, and if they decide they want to take it away, it's their perogative.

Remember, kids: your labour has value, and taking it away is a legitimate means to complain.  This really makes me want to see an episode written intelligently about industrial action on a spaceship.

Maslow's hierarchy on cleaning space toilets and taking orders when you don't have to.

That's one of those things that drifted over time: at the start of TNG everyone was an officer and the ship cleaned itself and the operational crew of the ship was like 20 people, but the writers didn't keep it up and they introduced enlisted and punishments and waste reclamation duty and scrubbing plasma conduits and poo poo like that, I suspect more out of lack of creativity than narrative need.

It was a floating city / slum by the time they were done with it. I mean sure the officer quarters looked nice but you can bet the ratings were packed in twenty to a room in stacked bunks dimly lit with emergency lighting 24/7 because they'd all be working in shifts while Officer Fuckwad lounges in his bath reading Klingon poetry and playing the alien saxophone.

if someone cares, the "scottish kilt" and TNG skant uniform are available for free in the C-Store unfortunately the kilt is fed only, would have loved to see a Gorn wearing one

With the Black Friday sale, I was able to pick up the t6 cross-faction science bundle, and besides being the final word in admiralty science and the tactical version being a genuinely good boat, I decided to try my hand at kitbashing each. Federation   Doesn't look bad from the top, the dorsal glowy thing is kind of odd and I'm not sure whether it's the secondary deflector (probably) or the hangar bay, but it hits a certain "Nebula and Intrepid had a drunk one night stand and this popped out nine months later" aesthetic. From the bottom, however... Romulan   Not terrible, proportions are oddly chunky for a Romulan ship. Hard to see in the second shot, but there's a neat black hole distortion thing in the central ring, like it's the ship's singularity core. Didn't seem to change in combat. Klingon   I actually quite like this one. The Gorn have a very distinctive aesthetic, and this is a fine flying brick.

More fun and games from the whole STObuilds fiasco: https://youtu.be/nhuEqW0mfRE At just after 49 mins or so in, Odenknight (who spends most of the video trying to justify the whole business) makes a comparison between the STObuilds mods and the Civil Rights movement...
