Ivey was the one whose friend died in a goating accident, and the last I had heard, he’d suffered a mental break, his mother made him stop playing, and he was getting the help he needed to get on with real life. Sad to see him backslide. Thanks, I was way off. Probably for the best we don't remember their name(s) well. Old drozana really was a melting pot of tragic human beings.

May be trying to scrub off his gaming past a bit. I'll delete his name from my comment as well, if that's even the right name. He can fade into anonymity again, figure the guys earned that for all the fun. As silly as they were I love them all. So many funny memories.

The T6 ship market at Exchange is crashing, at least Kelvin is. Today I saw several for sale for less than 335 000 000 EC and one Walker-class that sold for 325 000 000 EC. Fortunately my used ships sales yard has something more esoteric so I'm still in the black. And obviously can sit on them for a while. There are tens of low-bid Kelvins right now so those are tanked at least until January, luckily I sold my only one few weeks ago. I also so NX refit for less than 360M for the first time since I started doing business.

Lol. Just had a 4 year old dil'hadar get badnamed. Guess someone got offended when they saw Maga'Cuck standing at the contraband turn-in.

Meanwhile I doubt anything has been done about the 3 foot tall anime girl styled character I saw in Drozana a year or two back with a character bio that basically said "her race suffered a genetic catastrophe that killed all the adults and gave everyone else immortality but stopped them physically aging just before their race's puberty." It was literally "this is a 500 year old woman in a 12 year old's body" with a side of "oh and her species likes to gently caress Like, a lot." Wonder if I still have the screen caps. . .

Bar Patron posted:Pedos are no problem, it's the making fun of MAGA folks where cryptic draws the line apparently. Cryptic will generally take action against gross kiddie stuff but only if you report it. The kind of action they take is random and often meaningless; for example, they’ve badnamed Child Gornography every time I’ve changed it back for more than a week, but they’ve done nothing about the character’s appearance; meanwhile, on my main, they once deleted over 40 outfits because I had one where he looked like a gorn with khan hair, nausicaan armor, and borg bits on a fed. Something like half of my ships are badnamed at any given time. This is understandable, because almost all of them have intentionally offensive names. What’s curious is what does get badnamed and what does not. Various infamous massacres and war criminals that aren’t taught in U.S. public schools? Perfectly fine! Names that utilize the character creation system’s looser limits on ship name lengths to achieve “I.K.S. All Bronies Are Child Molesters And Must Be Hanged” or “Hang All Bajorans”? Stop right there! “Dukat was right about Bajorans” is still good though, so…? Preechr fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Nov 28, 2022 |

Meanwhile I mess around in the tailor since I haven't in ages, remembered the terran emperor uniform from the last episode, and decided to throw it on my Reman. Except it seemed rather sparse, just the top and pants and shoulder pad thing, so I went to check the wiki and it turns out they basically forgot to enable all the other parts on anyone who wasn't a Main Character Race.  I mean I'm not really surprised seeing how they consistently do this with literally every costume they release but it would be nice if they took the extra half hour to make sure all the parts and the right palette are toggled on before releasing them. They don't even need to enable it for all the weird BOFF races, just the player ones. It can't be that hard. Just loving do it Cryptic. Or at least sell a race change token thing so I can actually use half these cosmetics I've gotten over the years on my main. Also it works on Tovan Khev of all loving things but not my player character lol

g0del posted:SAD is only worth it if you're planning a carrier build, and even then only worth it with a handful of pets. If you're looking at a promo/lockbox ship merely for the trait, I'd look at a few others first. Disco D7 (Ruin of our Enemies), Crossfield Refit (Universal Designs) if you have a console that will proc it enough, or the Mirror Warship (Terran Goodbye). For Universal Designs, I thought it was based on the number of consoles activated that's why you combo it with that personal trait (unconventional systems?) which reduced console cooldown for big uptime/damage. I can't decide what to get with my annual event reward either. I got lobi last year and I still have like 1200 lobi left.

Jxforema posted:Inquiry class if you don’t have one, Deimos for the immolating phaser lance. Verne class if you want to do a high end sci build at some point. Note that the Mirror Engle, Disco D7, Crossfield Refit, MIrror Warship, and Deimos are largely ships people get for the trait/console. You can fly them, you can do high-DPS fun builds on them, but people are usually grabbing them just to strip them for parts. Those parts will generally be useful on just about any ship you fly. For actual flying, the Inquiry and Dhailkhina are all-around high-DPS ships. The Vaadwaur Juggernaut is the best CSV ship in the game if you can get used to the turning rate. The Verne (and it's KDF and Rom clones) is the best ship in the game for a pure science build. The Courage is the best pure kinetic torp build ship, but it's incredibly ugly and a high end kinetic torp build requires a bunch of traits from other ships you don't have. Best BO ship is probably either the regular D7 or Husnock if you also have the Miradorn for the 2pc console set. I believe the legendary D7 is the best SS ship, but that's not a choice from the event. Just pick a ship you want to fly.

The difference between 'useless spec' and 'tip-tier spec' is generally one skill that happens to be OP or interfaces really well with the meta.

Excelsior II coming to Infinity Lockbox next week. Looks like it might be a new top-tier beamboat, but I'll let the math nerds figure out where it falls. Console may be must-slot, and the trait doesn't look immediately terrible.

Wizard of the Deep posted:Excelsior II coming to Infinity Lockbox next week. Funny that the trait and console seem focused on FAW/BO stuff, but it's an intel seated ship. Looks overall solid, but I don't know if 4/4 with a heavy cruiser mastery package will be topping any charts. Certainly looks very solid though for a heavy cruiser.

Yea, I don't think it'll be #1 Beamboat, but the console & trait could become staples and the ship itself looks competent/solid. And I think it looks pretty good from the pictures. We'll need to see it in the different vanity shields for final evaluation.

Sooo I gave in and spent the  to grab the mudd pilot bundle thing because lol at waiting for the dilex to help me finish it off. I know pilot skills are in desperate need of rework but the pilot dodges are still fun as hell, and I remain tempted to grab the Mars next year for the permanent Lock Trajectory use. But other random observations in no real order...

Yeah for the longest time the only Fed ships with cloaks were the Defiant and the Gal X and it took up a console slot. Then the Intel ships came out with built in cloak and it made sense thematically, but it seriously seems like 40 percent of new fed ships just have a cloak for no reason now
