There's a reason we haven't had a J4G since the last one left. He was actually cool, and we don't want anyone ruining that.

you don't think i'm cool.

jokes aside, i'll try to be active on the forums and not just be a j4g, but originally yea i did find out about here just for the guild.

Wow.. for once Butts was on the right track! You lazy has-beens have totally neglected the academy and i hear from people that want to join it about 3 times a day.

It's interesting. I'm looking forward to this and new pvp changes, even though they're three/four years late. Too bad we won't actually know what rank/rating we are at.... i mean every game with a decent ranking system has that. However it's also pretty stupid trying to balance PvP engagements now that there's around 10-15 people max in the queues and most fly in a 5 man team anyways.

For once i agree with Cryptic. glad they gave SNBs back to Science only, giving it as a boff ability ruined class balance. and rock and roll fix is welcome.

Pity. With SNB being a boff ability I was hoping the same would happen for Attack Pattern Alpha.

That would destroy class balance. Even though STO without classes would be interesting, i don't see the devs ever going for such a drastic change after 7 years of class-based gameplay.

They put the 'competitive pve queue' on tribble and apparently all 5 people need to cooperate together to open space doors or something like that.

If even one person resists and refuses to do it, it becomes impossible.

But do you get to shoot at the other team at the final room, or is it just who completes the run in less time?

In that case I'll keep going on the tac that I made to try out the TOS missions. Thankfully they haven't touched the festive party popper, so at least I have that.

there's also other poppers you should check out, the festive party horn is pretty spammy and the 7th anniversary party horn shoots red fish.

So... did you rob their bank and kick the fleet/disband it?

Edit: If you ever find Poison Ivey, Gio, send him my regards.

Yea, kicked everyone except the leader and took the bank. I then left so that fleet leader would think I was another victim. He fell for it and we'll have leadership again in a week or two. He also put another 100 million in the bank and I want that

I'm sorry, but those tactics are reminiscent of Subspace Radio and do not reflect the high moral character we expect from a prospective Dentaleer.

That's because you don't know the full story... The fleet leader we're targeting is a sperg known for harassing anyone who does not follow him, for doxxing and for constant meltdowns against Dentals (among others) when his ERPing in local chat is rightfully interrupted. I usually don't gently caress with people's fleets but it was necessary

I think we've officially given it more thought than their writers did at this point.

Character writing in STO is abysmal, what did you expect? Characters are flat, annoying, personalityless plot devices there to spam you with a couple badly written voice lines, be useless in combat and that's about it. There's really few exceptions and he's not one of them

The upcoming T6 Miranda and its KDF/Rom counterparts (QeHpu' Advanced Light Battlecruiser and Deleth Advanced Light Warbird), are all C-Store: they all have fleet variants.

I wonder what the Rom/KDF counterparts will be modeled after since we already have a T6 B'Rel/T'Varo/T'liss/D7.

Maybe a Vor'cha? Not a light battlecruiser, but still probably the only canon KDF ship not at T6... Even though I can't remember if the K'tinga has one.
For the Rom one I can't think of anything though, so it will probably be a previously unseen design

So your Butt-buddy @GioTariz got with a few people and decided to post as "Friendly Refugee"s.. .except in his case it was "Friendly Truck Driving Refugee" complete with Merc gear, Turbans, and giant beards.

Naturally, a ban occured as they doubted he truly followed Sharia Law.

...Ban?

That means he Succeeds Butts as Dear Leader. So long Butts.

I bet he got himself banned just to get the job.

ugh... I'll have to agree with Rahhmi this time.
Also, this is a clear example of the developers' blatant Islamophobia. This needs to be exposed to the community.

On the topic of the succession you hinted at earlier... It's a great honor. I gratefully and humbly accept the position, and promise I will do everything in my power as the new Dear Leader to make this game truly great for everyone. It's a great responsibility, but I can guarantee the faith you put in me has not been misplaced. I cannot express my gratitude with simple words, but I solemnly swear I will carry out the tasks my role as new Dear Leader calls for, at the best of my ability.
