I don't think so - I eventually got past it by flying off the map in the opposite direction, which again triggered the "turn back!" response, but it teleported me to the destination ship instead of the center of the map. Kinda weird that a bug like that is still in a tutorial area, but at least I can progress now.

Fair enough. Just keep watching for that happening because a few missions require that, and your inventory might be obsuring it.

Cassandra Saturn isn't even on the Wesley wiki for recording sperging. We've been slacking.

I think I will start on this project tomorrow. Anyone who's got choice poo poo, feel free to share.

Do we have any goon presence at all on the console side? A couple of my friends and I are rolling through and we'd rather be part of a goon collective. It looks like there's plenty of bizarre hikikomori lunatics RPing Caitians on the PS4 side as well.

Yeah I do genuinely feel sorry for Cassandra. She's obviously going through some extremely bad poo poo, it feels wrong to mock for that.

Stealing the prize from her own giveaway on the other hand is a loving dick move.

Yeah I mean it is like one thing when you have your garden variety games poster who gets irrationally upset over dumb video games things and then there's this.

I did feel sorry for Cassandra, but it reached a point when I noticed several things happening:

1) Cassandra would make some appalling comments about (insert ethnic/gender group here), or would paste incredibly graphic sexual stuff in chat, like worse than the usual ESD bullshit, and when called out on it, he would tell everyone they were 1. transphobic or 2. misogynistic. Even after he would make misogynistic comments about women: women are bad at remembering things, women are too emotional to work in anything but porn, women are flighty and irresponsible.

2) Shameless scamming. Besides his constant pleas for money to buy him an xbox, games, etc, the guy has -- on more than one occasion -- claimed he was hosting giveaways only to open donated prizes for himself.

I'm not doubting that he's probably mentally unwell, and I do feel bad about the bad home life (that I think he's most likely created for himself), but I don't think that excuses his in-game activities from scrutiny and criticism. I'm mostly concerned about his constant begging for money.

We respect people's genders, because gender should not ever be a point of mockery in a good society. We do not respect their lovely, lovely choices. So CassandraSaturn is an awful, awful woman with so many things to mock. Let's move on to those.

So apparently there's a way to get into non-accessible areas of ESD again. Someone posted screenshots on reddit, and whichever dev is "tumerboy" there had to tell people that this makes him have a sad & bla bla something pulling bandages off his skin and torturing him. :shrug:

Tumorboy is Tacofangs, one of the devs that creates a lot of the evironments and afaik did most of ESD. He got really mad when people figured out how to access the shuttlebay when the zone was first revealed.

Oh hey, thanks for weighing in, Tuskin.

There's nothing really to discuss. The dude is pulling the same scam lots of other dudes have pulled in games, except now he can use "muh gender identity" as an effective cover. Or am I completely wrong and all those Chesters in the chat rooms back in the 90's were actually just coming to terms with their gender identity?

Well of course. Nobody actually plays STO anymore. We just talk about the terrible pubbies that we find in it.

Whenever they get around to releasing another content expansion then we might have something to actually discuss. I assume that's going to be a while though because I imagine resources will be focused on their new console players for a bit.

Also I sexually identify as a Jeep Grand Cherokee please respect my life choices *sculls a jerry can full of petrol*

Yeah that's actually a pretty good question, I wonder when and what the hell the next content will be. They already did the "oh poo poo buy us a month of dev time" mirror event but that's been over for a while now, and between the big work on the expansion and the big work on the console port I can only imagine they must be way behind on actual content creation. Will we see a CE event in late october/early november to try and pad time until the winter event so they can put off actually adding a new episode until 2017?

New fleet holding thingie and I'm betting Agents of Yesterday is gonna be held up as the big new thing for 6-9 months beyond it's release. At least until the next summer event rolls around. Maybe some small anniversary thing in February? (Is that the right month for STO's yearly thing?)

They'll do a Christmas ship too, but yeah. Honestly, at the current rate I'm expecting an admiralty card for the anniversary.

If they're feeling particularly lazy they might do one of the Breen T5 ships as a T6 for Christmas. Almost zero effort required.

Cassandra Saturn had a youtube clip, a recent one, of himself looking very like that photograph still. He was using sign language and still clearly looked like an overweight african american male. Unfortunately I lost the link and I think he removed it from youtube.

Yeah, I'm refering to Cassandra Saturn as male. Pretending to be a fetishised version of female cartoon character and insisting he is that character in real life doesn't make him female. It just gives the impression he needs therapy.

I sent him a tell last time I encountered him erping with himself, asking him to clarify on his 'Sorry, women's troubles lol' bs. His response? 'lol my buttplug hurts'.
