Does said lance cause balls to shrivel up and gently caress up Daniels' face every time it's used?

You talk about specialisation but then state you are a) mixing damage types (plasma & phaser) and b) mixing weapon types & skills (cannons & beams). This is A Bad Thing.

God drat do I want the Federation version of that new starbase sized ship. I've dropped like 4K zen from my stipend I had left over on the packs and i've gotten nothing except for a poo poo ton of Lobi and a ton of super rare crafting materials that are probably gently caress all on the exchange.

Why. WHY?

If you're going to do that with your zen you buy keys and sell them on the exchange so you can buy the ship for EC, never gamble on the packs expecting to win the ship. Never.

Aka the only pilot ships except the D4-X.

The sci pilot escort is the best of the three to get if you're only getting one. And they are definitely funner to play than regular escorts.

Whilst the sci pilot is pretty sweet it can't look as cool as this:

Finally played the Cochrane anniversary mission. It was ok and the music was a nice touch I wasn't expecting.

Now we need mirror universe Cochrane day where we shotgun the Vulcans and steal all their poo poo.

The first thing I did when I got in was whip out my Vulcan-hello shotgun and start celebratory fire.

At the moment I think a subscription gets you...

Bank slots
Account bank slots (and I think F2P has to pay to get an account bank at all?)
Character slots
Bridge officer slots
Ship slots (and maybe drydock slots now too?)
Access to certain chargen species (like fed-aligned klanks and ferengi... or does everyone get these now?)
A respec token every rank up.
1bn credit cap.

Everything except the credit cap persists once your sub runs out, and everything except the respec tokens are retroactively added if you sub with a high level character. I'm pretty sure it's well past $15 worth of zen purchases for a single character and only gets better if you have alts, but since almost all of is one-time unlocks there's just no reason to sub for more than a month.

Fireworks, eventually!

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.

Please stop picking on people who are young, naive, and possibly sick. Does it make you star wars nerds feel good to pick on the weak? First time the lot of you got to hold this side of the stick I imagine. The Jedi salute makes a big V down the middle of your fingers to signal to one another you're a big pussy. This thread seems like a manlet jerkoff circle full of dumbasses who couldn't make it on a real MMO.

It was actually two separate incidents - the first was a colossal numpty freaking out because people dared to move things around in the guild bank or something (bit before my time), the second was finding out that the bank had been emptied by a goon's kid who thought it was ok to take and sell everything to pad his own wallet. The kid was a loving hero.
