I noticed last night that the queue was over 400, but I still got in within a couple minutes every time.

I'm sure they'll get it fixed, these things happen from time to time. I'm also sure the official forums are ablaze with indignation and trollage right now. Thankfully I'm at work so I couldn't play right now if I wanted to.

Nope, apparently it has thrown a major tantrum! Population showing as light, with hundreds of people in the login queue and potential wait times of around 40 minutes before the devs took it offline.

I can almost hear Ambassador Worf saying 'This does not bode well' in the background.

I'm sure it'll be back up soon. It's probably just down for its weekly maintenance.

The devs have taken it offline to try and resuscitate it with a sharp tap with a large hammer. IF that fails they will have to try a new hamster.

I'm all sad now. :( I wanted to level my toons! I may have to find alternative entertainment.... Farming Sim 2013, Minecraft, Euro Truck Sim 2, Cities in Motion 2, Spintires, Tropico 4, A Game of Dwarves....

I would have rather seen the Enterpise-D captains yacht than the one in Insurrection.

I had a papercraft one a while ago, but it didn't survive a move about 10 years ago. It's quite an easy design to build up, as it's pretty boxy.

The Delta Quadrant has opened to us, and great battles draw near. Let us remember the words of Kahless:

Know your enemy, and you will know how to defeat him.

You are a warrior of the Klingon Empire! Knowledge is your sharpest weapon. If you want to bring honor to your families and your Empire, heed my words and savor them like the finest bloodwine. But if you want to barge ahead like a mindless beast, then report to the targ pits where you will be of some use!

These are ways of the Cooperative and the Octanti. Learn them well. Ignorance is death.

The Borg Cooperative is a group of former Borg drones who have joined together for mutual protection and society.

According to the logs of U.S.S. Voyager, in 2368 a Borg cube traveling through an area of the Delta Quadrant known as the Nekrit Expanse was disabled and disconnected from the Collective by a severe electrokinetic storm. Their collective consciousness collapsed, and the drones regained their identities.

Transporting to a nearby planet, the survivors of the cube began rebuilding their lives. They removed most of their cybernetic appendages and slowly re-acclimated to living as individuals. However, without the unifying force of the Borg hive mind, the many different species that had been on the cube struggled to form a society.

The planet became a warzone. One group of a few hundred drones formed a cooperative, finding a way to use their neural processors to form a miniaturized form of the Borg’s collective consciousness. Eventually, with the (unwilling) assistance of Commander Chakotay from Voyager, this group was able to extend this collective to all of the remaining drones on the planet, becoming the Cooperative as it is known today.


[attachment=2482]dblog3.png[/attachment]

Admiral Tuvok, who now commands Voyager in the Delta Quadrant, informs us that the Cooperative still exists, and that it has taken on the task of liberating other drones from the Collective.

The Collective has gained allies in other groups of liberated Borg in the region, but conflicts between these groups may cause problems. While the Cooperative wishes to add more drones to its collective consciousness but allow them to retain a sense of identity, other liberated Borg wish to be completely free of any of the trappings of their former Borg life, including the hive mind.

At this time, the Cooperative should pose little tactical threat to the Klingon Defense Force. Their numbers are few, and they are completely focused on rescuing other drones from the Borg. While the Cooperative maintains a distinct technological advantage over other groups in the region, they are inexperienced fighters and do not have the tactical acumen of our warriors. Given time and direction, however, they could be molded into a weapon.

We must take care that they do not become a weapon used against us.

Designated as Species 6339 by the Borg, the Octanti are a dying race.

Originating from a planet in Grid 124, Octant 22-theta, the Octanti first encountered the Borg in 2371.
In the next four years, the Borg assimilated more than 11 billion Octanti.

A handful of survivors managed to escape the devastation in the remains of the Octanti fleet. These exceptionally well-armed warships were all that kept the Octanti alive, and all the Octanti thirsted for revenge.

The Octanti developed a synthetic pathogen designed to attack the vinculum of a Borg cube, infecting volunteers from their own population with it and sending them out to be assimilated and spread the infection. The virus was designed to bring chaos to the ordered hive mind of the Borg, destroying the cube where the infected Octanti were. The destruction of a cube would alert other Borg vessels, who would investigate and bring the affected vinculum aboard their ships for study. In this way, the pathogen could contaminate the entire Collective.

Obviously, the Octanti have not been able to infect the entire Collective, or else the Borg would not continue to be a thorn in our sides. However, their dogged pursuit of the Borg is noteworthy. Although their numbers continue to dwindle, the Octanti remain committed to their quest, attacking Borg vessels wherever they find them. They make no distinction between Borg who are part of the Collective and former drones who have been liberated from it, seeing all as a threat to be eliminated.

If an alliance is possible, the Octanti’s extensive research into how to destroy Borg would be quite valuable to the Empire. Take care, however, when getting between them and their quarry.

A wounded animal is a dangerous one, and the Octanti’s wounds are deep.

The reason it wasn't used was because at the time Voyager's plot called for a runabout type of ship was close to the time that the movie was going to "debut" the captain's yacht and the film's producers did not want Voyager to use the Aeroshuttle first because they felt it would steal the thunder from the movie's super ultra mega dramatic captain's yacht launch...

So instead they got CBS to intervene and the Voyager producers and writers were forced to write in that goofy looking Delta Flyer that deployed from Voyager's shuttle bay (which seemed to be large enough to accommodate ships far larger than the size of Voyager would suggest).

That, to me, was the only big flaw in the series that stuck in my craw.

yes it would have.... but being based on the danube runabout, i guess janeway decided that the aeroshuttle would not be tough enough for the delta quadrant.

Oh nice! That is pretty cool! Would've been neat to see that in the show B)

i thought this was pretty cool... the aeroshuttle is based on the Danube class runabout and has the same interior layout as the danube (so it is said)

DID SOMEONE SAY PAIN STICKS??? !!!!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

It's space PVP, we usually begin with two teams. The winning team and the 2-3 top dps from the losing team graduate to the next round where they divided into 2 new teams and so on until, by process of elimination, only two remain. The remaining 2 go at it one-on-one until one of them dies 5 times.

I finally have a char that should be able to participate in this. What details need i know for this event?

Congrats, Liam! We membership folk promise to (try to) behave! =)

god bless HMS Voyager II
and all her sexy sailorboys :)

gratz admiral!
