My main Ozzy is a Sci officer on a recluse. I've never seen myself in a role in STFs, well because nobody seems to play as a team on pugs which is what I'm used to. I've built my recluse to be able to withstand some damage so tank if need be, heal a bit if called to and also contribute some dps as well. Skills wise, I definitely did the "ooo that looks interesting I'll have some of that" or "I wander what that does lets increase that".


I can crowd control pretty effectively with gravity wells, repulsors and tractor beam. I'd say that concentrating on these skills is a must for sci. I love it when you get big crowd of ships in gravity well, light 1 or 2 up and then watch the rest blow in a chain. I have no idea what my dps is but I regularly come 2nd or 3rd in CCE and starbase 24. I've also come top or near top on ISE as well a couple of times, so DPS is definitely doable on a sci ship.
My build is also heavily influenced by getting my ass whooped by Rorz in his little definate so many times!

Yes, models had to be randomly assigned, because if you look back, there were models who had been assigned to designers who went out but who modeled in later episodes. I've noticed online some people hadn't caught on to that, which I thought was weird.

Two things:

Did they ever have that "anonymous" judging round that they plugged all season? So many episodes Heidi said there would be a round of judging where they didn't know who did what, yet I have no recollection of when that happened?

Does anyone know if anyone has ever won the whole thing without ever winning another round? Justin stands a decent chance of doing so.

The whole season was anonymous judging. They had no idea who did what outfits all season long. Until they brought the models out. And I do not think anyone has ever won without winning a challenge.

I'd have to imagine that after a couple of weeks, the judges would have a good idea of who did what outfit even before the models stood by their designer (with the exception of the guest judges, who were only seeing the designers for the first time each week). The designers tend not to vary from their signature styles all that much. Although now that I think about it, did the designers have a different random model each week? It would have had to been that way for true anonymity. I didn't think to pay attention to that, so I don't know if that's the case. Not to mention, of course, the week that Heidi joined Tim on his check in with the designers. I think the anonymous thing just ending up being a season gimmick that really didn't mean anything (sort of like the GoBank budget). But maybe I just over-think these things, haha. :)

Beautiful! I love it!

Totally awesome and looks even better as my wallpaper :)

Thanks!

Hope this helps! :D

Wayyy ahead of you, I had a back up plan :P

Just a tip when linking photos... you can only upload screenshots or pictures that are 500k or less, meaning you'd probably have to resize the wallpaper.

Alternatively, you can upload the wallpaper elsewhere on the web, and link it to the post by using the image command:

Hope this helps! :D
