UGHD!


well, here it is last, take 2 lol

Times and Prizes have been listed

You have a few more days to turn in your builds for this challenge but you can find the next challenge

HERE

The second ship is the Fleet D'deridex Warbird Battle Cruiser

This one is a bit of a challenge, we haven't really covered Warbirds and Singularity ships. This ship has to fill two roles. Keep constant pressure on the enemies and heal your self and to a minor extent your teammates

Remember this ship have 5 Singularity powers

http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/?build=dderidexchallenge_6481

A couple of things to keep in mind:

-There are Science consoles that can add Plasma damage
-Most heals are dependent on Aux power
-Plasma Fire Damage is affected by Particle Generator
-You must keep everything already slotted but you can change the energy type

Remember to fill out the Space, Traits and Skills tabs and write your Active Space Duty Officers in the notes tab. Save it as "D'deridex Challenge (@Handle)" and upload the link as a reply to this thread.

Details about the contest can be found HERE

Good Luck and we look forward to seeing what you come up with.

This is excellent, Steve! Thank you so much for putting this together :)

Final set. For now.

EDIT: Halloween plans, maybe. :)

Well, here it is: The big one-oh that, for now, I am sad to say will be my final podcast.

Unlike the previous posts, I’ve intentionally left the song list off this cover graphic, but I will post it in a separate one over the weekend. For now, I’ll keep it simple and let the anthems and avenues in this set speak for themselves.

This set was inspired mostly by my reflections of time spent hiking in the Cascade Mountain range (shown above from orbit.)

While my partner and I have yet to climb up any of those snow-capped peaks, we have made hard treks up the adjacent tall ridges, only to be rewarded with panoramic views of the peaks and rolling wilderness stretching beyond the horizon in every direction.

Those experiences, and being away from civilization for a time helps put everything in your life in some perspective. Even in dark days of frustration, stress, loss…whatever emptiness that sometimes plagues our lives: In the end there is always hope.

This set celebrates those who reject bitterness and choose to climb on, look on, and stay young at heart.

Love your life and everyone in it. And with that, I shall leave this thread open now to anyone that may want to share music that resonates with them.

All my best, and as always, thanks for listening.
-Steve

EDIT: Official track list with time indices below. Headphones recommended for best experience. ;)

Terrific Twins
First place - Each team member will receive Winter Coats and 500,000ec
Second place - Each team member will receive 150,000ec
Third place - Each member will receive 100,000ec

Lost Captain
First place - Each team member will receive 5,000,000ec
Second place - Each team member will receive 2,500,000ec
Third place - Each team member will receive 1,000,000ec

Capture This!
Each screenshot has a bounty of 500,000ec on it. Come up with the best caption and you will receive this bounty.

I always saw the paradigm a little differently:

Spock wrestles with his half-human heritage.
Data aspires to be more human.
Odo aspires to find out who he is, but is definitely not interested in "humanity".
The Doctor aspires to "transcend his programming" and be more himself, though not necessarily more human.

And in this paradigm, The Doctor always most intrigued me, but I'm prejudiced because he's among my all-time favourite characters. His pursuit in life always reminded me most of my own.

Welp, I am getting excited here.
I am looking forward to it! :woohoo:

Best Star Trek Character Likeness category: Costumes will be judged for the best likeness of a canon Star Trek character from the television series or movies. It doesn't need to be a bridge officer or main cast member, so let your creativity flow!


[attachment=1684]Cartoon.png[/attachment]
Best Cartoon Character Likeness category: Costumes will be judged for the best likeness of a pop-culture cartoon character of your choosing! Many such examples can be seen wandering the halls of Earth Space Dock and other public zones on occasion, including that of the legendary Doctor Zoidberg (pictured). Show us what you can do!


[attachment=1685]Scary.png[/attachment]
Scariest Costume category: Costumes will be judged on the how much terror your costume could strike into the heart of a red-shirt on an away mission! The most horribly terrifying costume will win this category!


[attachment=1686]Traditional.png[/attachment]
Best Traditional Costume category: Have a costume idea that is more traditional and doesn't fit the other molds? No problem! This is your chance to win!


[attachment=1688]Best.png[/attachment]
Best In Show!!: This GRAND PRIZE will be awarded to the best costume in the show, in terms of execution and overall effort! All costume entries will be considered for this ultimate award category!

The winning costume of each award sub-category will win 1,000 ZEN! If you win in one award category, you're not eligible to win in another award category, with the exception of the Best in Show GRAND PRIZE, which is open to all participants, regardless of whether or not their entry won in a previous category. The Best in Show prize is an additional 1,000 Zen!

You may create costumes to enter as many of the costume categories as you wish, however, your costume may only win one of the four sub-categories (best Trek likeness, best cartoon likeness, scariest costume or best traditional costume). As previously stated, all entries are eligible for the Best in Show grand prize!

The judging panel will be announced at the time of the event!

I liked Odo because he was very noble and beneath that gruff exterior hes quite literally all gooey inside :P

But I suppose my favorite has to be Data. His childlike innocence made for an amazing lens to view humanity through.

I bet if you were to look up profiles of many pop stars who have stage names they would not have been banned. Just because a name doesn't live up to Facebook's idea of what a name should be it most certainly should not be policed.

To answer the previous comment though, here in the UK a person can use any name they wish so long as it is not used for any illegal purpose or with intent to deceive. This is what you find out when you go to change your name as part of transition for TS folks.
