That's one of the consoles you can't get unless you're KDF or a space gazillionaire, right?

Yeah, but you're an engineer right? You take the trait that gives a bonus to all power levels when you use an emergency power skill and then use Aux2Batt after and you should have max weapons and shields and 80+ engines most of the time.

Follow the mission chain you have there. Part of the reason the game probably feels weird is because you're fenced off from the "real world" until you finish the introductory New Romulus chain and ally with the Feds or Roms.

I've been getting rid of some old crap on my hard drives and have found some fairly amusing stuff that was OpSec back in the day. Given this sort of stuff is around a year and a half old, would it be fair to say it no longer needs to be kept a secret and can be shared for the amusement of all?

Is it on the wiki already?

Got another Gal-X for us.

On the one hand, he managed to use only phasers for his energy weapons. On the other hand, he spent a lot of time facing his rear end to Mirror ships so he could fart torpedoes at them.

That depends on if you were draining away the shield facings for him. If you were, I think the torpedoes he had on would do more damage. Not a valid excuse for that build, but trying to figure out the reasoning.

What, let other players steal his kills? I don't think you understand the power of that Gal-X like he did. That's why he flew off to do poo poo by himself the whole time.

He's not asian, just anime, which is the definition of sub-human.

What is the problem with Wildstar, I just followed it a little before release and it looked interesting. Is it just a grindfest?

You know those guys on WoW forums talking about how 40-man raids were the pinnacle of the game and how the Karazhan attunement chain was this super cool adventure and not a total pain in the rear end? Or how Blizzard ruined the game when they added 10-man raiding because now more than 2% of the population could see content?

Those are the people who made Wildstar.

I've never understood why so many ultraconservatives love Star Trek.


It's a future world where everyone has merged into a single American-ish English-speaking monoculture? You'd think the fact that capitalism is a dead ideology would dissuade them but conservatives are good at ignoring anything that doesn't fit with their interpretation of something.

750 Zen for a marriage license seems kind of expensive, but the huge bonuses when you're grouped with your spouse might be worth it I guess.

The fact you can only get gay married with it seems restrictive but it makes sense when you think about what's going on in the news.

It has a lot of issues still (mostly due to being a much more traditional MMO) but there's been a crazy amount of QOL improvements and it's weird actually playing a game that's vaguely polished, doesn't lag, and is actively maintained. Everything about how the cash shop, lockboxes, and collections are handled is so blatantly superior to STO's crippled take.

I think that they'll make some big improvements with the next expansion where they are apparently tossing out some of the trappings of old-style MMO design.
