We are no friends of cyberbully groups and never will be. Spamming another fleet's home thread speaks for itself. So does sneaking into someone else's fleet, then changing your name to take shaming pics. No matter how much you waste, you and your bully kids cannot pay the debt you owe. No one can bully people, try to pay them off and think they can walk away with a clear conscience. But a sociopath will try anyway, even if they fail. People know the difference however and most importantly, so do you. Your behavior has not lessened your debt, only deepened it.

God, between the render of the Krenim warship and looking at the Benthan cruiser in-game, so much of Voyager's CGI crap has aged so goddamn poorly. I guess some of it came out alright (the voth boats and the hazari destroyer are alright, and the hirogen boats are clunky but have a good aesthetic) but geez.

I'll forgive reusing it for the fleet holding though since it literally is supposed to be the Krenim time weapon, so it's an obvious parallel I guess? :shrug:

I assume that's only the Tier 0 version of the holding.

Asimo posted:

That render just above? That's not an in-show render, that's a... render of the ship for a mod made for star trek: armada.

Voyager and DS9's CG has aged really well compared to other shows of the same year, to be honest, in part because especially on DS9 they tended to be matching it to traditional models and copying the lighting design.

Oh yeah, designwise it's pretty generic. I wonder what they'll do about the other Krenim ships, since the ones we saw on the show looked absolutely nothing like it.

That said, don't knock the Benthan Cruiser, I like it. There spheres lend it a unique look, especially for a ship that was onscreen for literally three seconds. Although if we're going unique looks where's my drat Tarellian lockbox:

Sorry, but this post crossed the line. It's offensive to those who have children or family members with special needs. Please don't post something like this ever again. This is a warning but it was almost an infraction.

I would do this, but I don't play KDF as it is an incomplete faction. Obviously not your fault.

Playing KDF sounds like being near a malformed child. Sure, it functions enough to stay alive, but it's so hideous if you can stay away from it, you do.

The new Fleet Holding is on tribble + other things

Borg Cube explosion FX is no longer Zone Wide if that bugged anyone.


quote:

As posted in the Patch Notes thread:
Please note that this feature is not anywhere near a completed state, in this Tribble build.
Most of the UI display is just white boxes.
Players will not have access to the actual maps associated with this Holding.
There are multiple reward entries that currently just say "..." as those features are not yet finalized.
Most of the above is in a far better state on our internal builds, but the patch going to Tribble is a little more "work in progress" than some of you may be accustomed to seeing.


So basically not worth testing right yet

Speaking of BG, I found an interesting exchange between him and Ashkrik in the mod files. BG, who can't discuss moderation with the little people, discusses it with Ashkrik. Ash bitches and moans about someone, BG asks him to PM some links, Ash does, BG tells Ash which of the links he's going to caution and why. This was all the way back in... December.

So it appears that the volunteer mods can't discuss moderation... unless it's with Ashkrik... who can order up warnings from the drive-thru menu.

quote:

Ashkrik:

Well if you are going to give me a warning for defending someone, I sure hope you gave the aggressor a warning too...

BG:

If I missed it, please point it out to me.

Sincerely.

My goal is to end the disturbance and I can't do that if there are still inflammatory posts out there.

BG:

Did you bother to look? Because I took great pains to eliminate those particular posts.

Send me links and I'll go look again.

Ash:

BG:

I'll give you two out of four. While he wasn't exactly pleasant, the last two links are no worse than what anybody else posted. He's allowed to have his own opinion about what constitutes chat spam and he didn't name any names there.

Ash:

Just gave the most hostile ones, thanks.

It's not terribly surprising that it's Ashkrirk with whom BG shares that conversation, as they're both on the same fundie wagon. So far the Vanilla forums have been a treasure trove of comedy. I love lordmanzelot's warning, where he straight-up calls Branflakes an rear end in a top hat.

Honestly didn't see that coming. Although I suppose it makes sense with all the time travel plotlines. It explains the recent cashgrabs too, expanding the license and getting Pine and Quinto into the studio can't have been cheap. It should really help bring in some new players though.

I really hope this means we're finally getting a T6 Constituion.
