So I was playing STO and watching AbFab and I thought what if Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley were originally cast as the Duras sisters and couldn't stop laughing for 10 minutes.

May I present B'Eddy and Pasty'Tagh!

Hey all!
Just wanted to note that a lot of the functionality is missing (adding your characters to profile, seeing the "new recruits" list or officers list, etc. For a lot of things, it simply says "since GW2 is still in beta...." which would be fine but we are LONG since beta.

Thanks,

Ash

The ship has approached the fortified border, but this whole region is being heavily patrolled both by a high number of regular Klingon ships and what must be modified salvager ships. The Sally Ride detected heavy sensor sweeps and has dropped from warp well out of range until the bridge crew can decide on a plan to get past the patrols.

It totally is 10. 3 4 and 5 are the neat pythagorean theorem numbers. Math is one thing; shortcuts are quite another.

I open a wormhole in front of each ship so they end up back at the starting point, thus since they are occupying the same space they rip open the space time continuum thus destroying the multiverse. Math has now killed an infinite number of people.

two starships depart earth in exactly opposite paths. each travels 3 light years, makes a 90 degree left turn and travels for 4 light years...how far apart are they at this point?

god...it's like SATs all over again.

Very nice job Siafu! Excellent color choices. :) And BIG CONGRATS to Stich, very nice design! :woohoo:

Not at problem at all, Sthiss. I expect that quite a few members are doing just that. When you do decide to return, you can also send me a private message via the website or post a reply to the thread I mentioned in the first post to get an invite. It will be good to have old members back in the group again! :)

I stumbled upon a great recipe for a lemon drop martini. Oh and if you're not of legal drinking age, file this away for when you are as I, in no way, shape or form advocate under-age drinking. ;)

Start with one part vodka; Ketel One or Ciroc will do. The smoother the better.

One part fresh-squeezed lemon juice or lemonade if you like it sweeter.

Two tablespoons of lemon curd.

For the lemon curd you may want to soften it up a bit first so that it blends easily once shaken otherwise it tends to clump. You can warm it over low heat in a small skillet then pour it along with all the other ingredients into a martini shaker with a good amount of ice.
Then shake it like your inertial dampeners have gone offline while traveling through the Delta Quadrant terminus of the Barzan wormhole with Troi at the helm and pour it into a chilled class. The lemon curd gives an excellent frothiness and the perfect balance between sweet and tart.

Cheers Fleetie Darlings!

Math is hard. :(

This was my first game as well, and it will always be the nearest and dearest to me. I eventually leveled 25 charaters to lvl 50. I was there from issue 7 (Destiny Manifest) on. It makes me happy to see the outpouring of emotion from fellow players, and I have made some incredible friends in COH/COV that I still know to this day. I will always cherish the memories.

when I think of what I've put into Coh the time the energy alone the $ is separate it was $24 for the original game then I bought the collectors ed that was $60 then CoV was $90 anther $20 for the Good VS Evil edition then another $40 for going rogue not to mention the hundred I spent on special packs power sets etc ... yeah I feel like we are being tossed aside

I believe he meant 8 ;)

I'm sorry to hear that your fist MMO is shutting down, Geo. Like you, I have a special connection with my first MMO: Dark Age of Camelot. Though EA, the company that bought Mythic Entertainment, (the original developers), have elected to keep the servers on the eleven year old game up and running for the three or four thousand active players, everyone knows that there are fewer days ahead than there are behind, in the official life of this terrific game.

At some point, loyal as the company has been to the playerbase, business sense is going to kick in, and it'll be a devastating day for me. Luckily, in our case, there are private servers that some die-hard fans have put up, that will allow for continued gameplay, long after the game is officially shut down. I don't know much about the tech behind CoH, but I suspect that since the announcement, someone in the community has likely undertaken an effort to get a server running, if it's possible. Here's hoping, for you and all of the other community members! Hopefully NC Soft will be gracious enough to leave any private servers that pop-up, alone, for the community to enjoy.

This whole thing gets me thinking about the longevity of STO, and what will become of it once the servers are ultimately shut off. Considering the amount of money (in the hundreds or thousands for many), that people have unloaded on lockboxes, C-Store items, etc, I would like to see them release a server application with all of the in-game items unlocked on the client side, when the time comes.

I'm not terribly tech-savy, and what I'm suggesting is likely a pipe-dream, but with customers, on average, dumping so much more money into their MMO experiences these days, beyond the traditional cost of the box and subscription fees, I'd like to see gaming companies give something back to their customers and supporters, at the end of the game's life.

I'm curious as to how you all feel...!

and 6 weapons for your ship.

Six being the bare minimum number of weapons on a Tier 5-or-higher ship, being the logic?

Kas, who was not around for those discussions.

The full set you're allowed is actually per character, not per member as well. So if you have characters in Stonewall Fleet, Deep Space Stonewall and House of Nagh reD you can outfit those as well.

To clarify: what you actually get access to as a full member is a full set of equipment for one ship and one officer. So you get a weapon, shield, and armor for your captain, and a shield, engine, deflector, and [strike]6[/strike] 8 weapons for your ship. Oh, and a ship, obvs.

You might have already known that but I wouldn't want someone to see "1 item per member" and think they would have to choose between getting a gun and getting armor or something.

Hi Akurie!

As I mentioned to you online:

Your offer of donations is very generous - fleeties can always contribute to any projects for the starbase when they are up.

Promotions to fleet membership happen within 14 days of your joining - after that point, fleet requisitioning can be taken up with one of the officers.

Welcome to the fleet!

After a lil over a month NcSoft finally responds and this is what they had to say ...

City of Heroes® Players and Fans,

We wanted to let you know that your voices have been heard and your concerns have been taken into serious consideration. We appreciate the overwhelmingly constructive and positive messages in the emails, notes, and packages you've sent in support of the game. It has not been an easy decision for us to close Paragon Studios® and prepare to shut down City of Heroes. We've exhausted all options including the selling of the studio and the rights to the City of Heroes intellectual property, but in the end, efforts to do so were not successful. City of Heroes has a special place in all of our hearts, and we want to ensure its reputation and the memories we share for the game end on a high note.

Once again, we will be holding events throughout the process of preparing for the game's end, and we encourage players and fans of the franchise to join forces and enjoy their time in a game that we've enjoyed supporting for more than eight years.

The NCSOFT® Team
