Please don't let this get into pubbie hands, but I think we can firmly tie Xtern1ty and Dental together.



Also, if you see Gummo, please thank him. Due to his generosity, the Xtern1ty starbase now has TRIBBLES.

EDIT: Additionally: thanks again, Gummo (or should I say Dental Charity Hologram).

Little guide I made for approximating the German national sports outfit on feds, KDF sadly cannot get the "track" pants with the diplomacy outfit, but maybe there's other jogging pants type things out there.

You can use the "plain" faction scarves if you don't have a Tholian one, they cost about 500k on the exchange at best, though Romulans might be a bit screwed.

Fairly sure you can also approximate plenty of other countries/teams with the same setup.

Eh, personally I never thought she should be in that cat suit anyway, even as a 15 year old at the time I could see right through that pandering to horny nerds. Should've been in a standard uniform like the women in DS9.

Agreed, I much prefered her with the normal uniform in the timeship episodes she wore it in. The catsuit just looked awful and I felt pretty sorry for anyone stuck wearing it. Must have felt like a sausage in it's peel with that thing.

In fairness they did the same thing with the Romulan pack too, but is seemed a bit less skeevy then. Probably because that expansion didn't come with mandatory c-store upgrades for everyone I guess.

Also because they talked up the Intel ships having one less console than the T5U ships, then whoops we find here that's because they just aren't fleet.

Which still doesn't mean much really, since T-5U will still be quite equal console wise anyways.

So while Xean rants and raves about the demon's we are, me, Zaichal, and Akulaz chose to give his fleetmates a helping hand.

We simply couldn't leave this poor, lost soul and his wife's character lost and hopeless after Xean attempted, without success, to contact his "friends" for 15 minutes to sort the invites out.

In the future, even with our constant muted status, we should try our best to help the victims suffering under Xean's persecution complex to get the things they need.

I, and plenty of other fellow veterans of it, encourage people to do the UESF because lately we have too many people playing this game the exact way the pubbie menace does: comfortably sheltered from the greater community and occassionally space ship sperging when not behaving as hermits would.

Plus, as Nbreeki said, forge them in the hottest fire right at the start and they're ready for anything from then on out.

In a way we should thank the UESF, they've played a big part in why we can usually drum up 5 goons to crash an RP event, hose ERPers, or mess with Xean's head instead of just 1-2 while the rest keep sperging about lockboxes or builds.

So this pubbie fleet that randomly recruited me and Sonicshower off of ESD wants us to recruit people.

I went off to DS9 to do just that, recruit people, and it wasn't well recieved.

I'm not sure what I, or Colonel Green for that matter, did wrong.

Edit:

http://pastebin.com/uSnZPbL7

Even after essentially telling the fleet leader what I was doing, he somehow entirely missed it.

He also didn't tell me to stop recruiting, so I went right back to it.

Edit 2:

After one of his officers happily used access to the Dental shipyard to buy a boat, they apparently informed the leader what Dental actually is and I was kicked.

Edit 3:

http://pastebin.com/THh3WCDs

I found a new home in the Federation of Star Trek Roleplayers, run by an ERPist who got booted from the Storytellers. Hopefully he will appreciate my recruitment efforts more, funded by the donation of most of his fleet bank.

I decided to make another screenshot uniform guide for feds.

This time covering a historical tropical excursion outfit, ideal for all your reenactment needs on Risa. Also included is a parade ground uniform for those evenings that need a little more class, though it's still functional enough for taking to the street for a night on the town as well!

Who was the goon who made the imperial officer uniform? This would be a good match.

I was the one who made the original stormtrooper outfit out of the mine costume. I think Thronde went through the effort to do the whole officer and variants uniforms.

Also I see we're getting that weird "rifle" from Voyager that looks more like some bizarre gardening tool or industrial robot piece.

Just chill man. Someone will invite you back in later and it can all be forgotten.

Anyways, yeah, this expansion has me feeling like there's a lot of nothing to do. Cryptic's own comedy actions have the pubs frothing way more than we could hope to make them without :effort:. As to the game itself, I can't be much bothered grinding the new elites just due to the tedium they now involve since it's the same unchallenging lameness if you know what to do but with giant HP sponges. I'll probably spend most of it getting some daily boxes and the rest just finding out where all the horrible pubs crawled off to since I miss my usual torture dolls.

Day 1:

I seem to have been somehow transported to the underworld of the planet of the dead.

A brief summary of my adventures down below include discovering that the Kobali capital resides atop what can only be described as a giant marshmellow, that the ground is indeed a one-sided lie, and that trees as well as rocks truely are lighter than air.

Furthermore my attempts to explore the great Pit of Nothingness below the LOD were thwarted by the dreaded and feared invisible walls of boredom and purgatory.

Towards the end of my journey and after quieting suspicions that my current transporter clone might indeed be evil, I chose to celebrate in my finest definitely-not-evil canon costumes and closed with a party that only Riven can truely appreciate.

Day 2:

After unsuccessful attempts to escape this magical subterranean realm (beamed out and oddly back in to the same spot) I appear to be trapped here, for now. Food supplies are running low, but thoughtfully I brought two of my officers and a pet.

The city-marshmellow also speaks in my mind now, it demands obedience and worship. As captain, I've chosen to lead the new Cult of the Cryptic Marshmellow.

Great reads. You must've run UESF a dozen times to gain the intestinal fortitude necessary to deal with those ERP'ists. So are you going to have to actually ERP with them or is it sort of like being undercover with the mafia, it's okay to beat someone up and snort coke, but no killing?


Also, is it possible to use the saved loadouts to migrate gear from one ship to another so you don't have to get multiples of universal consoles, etc. if I want to run both a sciboat and a battlecruiser?

Never in my life would I reduce myself to ERP. Also I'm the one who had the misfortune of first discovering the UESF.

However wait for volume 4 later today, I purposefully blew my cover. You'll see why.
