on my Jemmy Dreadnought when my attack ships decide to do ramming speed and ram an enemy ship, I see a text over them that says, setting auto pilot, preparing for emergency beamout. (or something of the sort)

I am a little iffy about the past two episodes. I love Doctor Who but feel a little let down.

Rings of Ahkaten was a very mixed bag for me. I agree that it was over-the-top and rather non-sensical in the parts you mentioned (though, I interpreted the "never run away unless we have something precious" differently).

However, that said, I totally got teary-eyed when the Doctor started yelling at the space parasite. For some reason, the Doctor crying gets me going, and I don't usually cry during TV and movies.

I kind of feel like the whole episode may have been a flimsy premise to have the Doctor and Clara put their "I'm so lonely!" cards on the table for each other. I'm still looking forward to the rest of the season, but Akhaten confirmed that Moffat has run out of steam has a showrunner. Really looking forward to someone else taking the helm (and, if reports are to be believed, a new Doctor come year's end).

As per the current zeitgeist (and Cryptic's profit strategy), it appears that the Federation is transferring towards incorporating carrier doctrines at some level, what with the Atrox, Armitage, and Vesta crunchies.

On the KDF side, I figure it makes sense, being it would be an honorable death in battle.

But on the Fed side, having living pilots seems...unlikely. I've been mentally figuring that the Fed uses low-AI retrofits to fly the carrier wings - nothing as advanced as an Emergency Hologram, let alone Soong-level androids but capable enough to have minimal command response and adaptation. (It would also explain why the Peregrines occasionally do their own damn thing.)

Thoughts? How do you write around the issue?

Thank you Morale Department and other hosts for another great event weekend for the fleet!

Bells of Stain John wasn't too bad, but I was not crazy about Rings of Akhaten. It was too over the top, even for Doctor Who. The whole "We never run away bit" was all nice and cool until he was like "But now we have something precious, so we run away very fast!" while completely ignoring the fact that an entire system of intelligent beings would be destroyed by this 'god' which would include, I imagine, several million "precious" children. Also, after he basically killed the sun, how did the planets in the system have enough heat to not became completely frozen and killing everyone?

DEATH TO THE SNOWFLAKE!

I should be home by 7pm PST tonight and can do it on the weekends as well. This'll be fun! :laugh:

Makeb is fun. My only real complaint at the moment is I have yet to find a Cantina/Rest Zone there which is kind of bugging me since I don't want to go back to my ship every time I log out. Apart from that I've been loving the new stuff.

They also say that guilds will be getting more love as time goes on. I am still finishing my 8th chapter 3 character so i havent really done any makeb yet. Im also working getting characters crew skills up to the new 450 limit, and neither of my crafter have any money for any schematics.

I am game for this weekend. I can come on 1 of 7 or Parker (sci, eng)

So is Update 2.0. I've been trying to play it a little bit, but I haven't played my level 50s in so long, I've almost forgotten how to play those classes. Such is the curse of being an altaholic.

So far Makeb seems promising. I'm still getting used to the new missions. And apparently we now get a 5% XP boost if our characters are in a guild -- guess it's time to get all my alts on board finally!

ill be in tonight when I get in from work. I want a shard every night on at least 2 characters :)

I am in and will happily help out taking people once i know how the damm encounter works :D

I got you Patrick. Just browsing the forums before I hit the sack. I hope to see you in-game soon so we can all group up. :) If you're interested, guild bounty is... tonight, Thursday 7PM EST. Perhaps we'll see you there if you're available.

Welcome to Stonewall ;)

I play League pretty regularly and would love to join up with any of you.

So...I'm still waiting for my guild invite :P

First, read this.

Second. OMG phasers ready! (Unless you're a cannon kinda guy/gal.... In which case, well.... You get the point)

The Stonewall PVE department will be going full board on hosting the Crystalline mission during said timeline.
Keep an eye on this thread. A schedule has been posted in the admirals office (via briefing room).
Or go here:
http://fleet.stonewallgaming.net/forums/admirals-offices/58705-the-office-of-pve-combat-operations

The more of us online at one time, the more teams and runs we will be able to make as the mission requires 10players.

Since there will be two teams of five per mission, team chat will be limited to your own team.
The PVE department encourages all members to download Ventrillo. Follow instructions in the welcome center. Although vent is not mandatory, it is highly recommended.

See you all in space for some Crystal butt whooping.

Loving the new additions, stellar work
