I was only able to attend Saturday's festivities but had a blast...especially the Pub Quiz. From ovines to goats to neutron stars to William Shatner's Canadian heritage, it was a blast. The quizzes are by far my favorite because fleeties can directly interact with other fleeties. Not often we can do that in large numbers.

So this one is complicated. There was an NBA player named Wally Szczerbiak (who I thought was very cute). And I would set his name to the Animaniacs theme song: "His name is Wally Szczerbiak/He's a hottie to the max." So, what this means now is that when I see a dolyak in game, I sing, "His name is Wally Dolyak."

This makes me think about the skill "Prayer to Lyssa."

I LOVE how it works... If a human player uses this skill, all humans on the map will hear it and may shout "May Lyssa Confound you!"

There are certain bits of dialogue in-game that I can't help but respond to. I'm weird, but maybe some of you do the same?

"For the Tamini!" "For the tahini! And the tzatziki!"
"It's a soldier's life for me." "Deedly-dee"

I've got more but I'm not thinking about them at the moment.

“Admiral, we are getting strange communications from the rift”

The modified Vonph commandeered as a war trophy by Admiral Marojin at the end of the Iconian war hovered close to a portal that was opening in the devron system, no ships could pass through and all probes launched have been lost.

A few weeks ago shortly after the last Mirror Invasion incursion rifts started opening up all over the galaxy. These rifts are determined to be rifts to other planes of existences like the mirror universe, while some have been terrifying like the first that opened on Qo’Nos where the KDF described as hordes of grotesquely disfigured anthomorphic animals, flooded First City. They said they were from a realm called psychedelic relam and their leader’s head a creature is now mounted outside the High Council’s Chamber. Lore singers are now writing songs of their victory over the creature called Hello Kitty and her grotesque horde.

Others have been a proven to be collaborative, the rift that opened on New Romulus and a group that called themselves super villains flooded through wreaking havoc on the young colony. A group calling themselves “Champions” assisted the Romulan Republic in capturing these villains and bringing them back to their own realm.

This rift hasn’t opened and the Mother Monster was joined with Admiral Greendale’s ship The Darkest Timeline and both are deciding to either figure out a way to open or close the rift. Both knew the potential for both research and damage to the Federation was extremely high.

“Patch the transmission through”

Static came on the intercom but every once in a while the crew is able to make out random words

Bzzzzzrrrzzzzz….black soulst….zzzzzzzrrrzzzzzz…..ueen of blad…..zzzzzbbbrrbrrrzzzz….ich King…..rrrzzzzzzz

Then static.

Thank you everyone who attend our White Winter Whirl!! hope you all had a flurrie of a time haha! Thank you Eurrsk and Cai for being awesome teamates and everyone else who had helped out in the events :D

Thanks for the awesome fun!!

And now I get to take a break from STO missions. I have shoulder surgery on Thursday, on my dominant arm. So I won't be doing many missions, but I will still be doing all the other fun stuff. Gotta keep getting R&D and doff stuff of course. Arm has to be in a sling most of the time for at least a couple weeks.
Can't wait for it to be done though. It's a tendon tear that has been bothering me for 6 years now. Will finally be able to participate in activities, and drumming. B)

Share Snaps!!







Thank you once again Morale Dept for the weekend event, looking forward to the next ones!!!!!

Had fun at the few events I was able to join today - thanks Cai, Eurrsk and everyone else!
P.S. Did our team win the trivia?

we got 2nd place n u were right with "towel" just the question was a bit ambiguous! lol :)

Quote by caijamin

Also, we'll have regular meetings

Do I need to stand, state my name and my reason for attending, at each session?

Thank you! Many more to come! I'll probably do more live commentary in the future. I almost had a breakdown near the end... one of my video tracks that took me many hours to cut and get right got messed up and I had to re-do and fudge some new video tracks in. I'm pretty new at this, so I have a lot to learn. I'm sure it was something I screwed up with, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Only room to improve now. :cheer:

Lots of great advice in this thread already, so I won't repeat anything and just add my 2 ec.

The way I play crafting is to just pick one thing to specialize in, produce that thing a lot, and then sell that thing to get ec to buy other things. This reduces the amount of doffs you have to buy and gets your toons to level up faster in a certain school (and get a better crit rate). It also makes the system easier to understand at first and the market easier to follow.

But then I think of it all as ec. The materials I get as drops are just ec because i could sell them, the ones I use for crafting are just ec because I buy them. The stuff I make is just ec because I can sell it and the stuff I buy is just ec because that's what I pay for it.

Gravity's right: neither is better in an objective sense, it just depends on what you want to do with it.

I personally prefer the arbiter because:

*Intel seating = OSS + other goodies that I like more than command
*50% higher base turn rate
*less engineering seating (1 cmdr seat is enough for me, cmdr + lc is overkill)
*lc universal instead of ensign universal means more flexibility
*mastery gives resistance to kinetic damage, and in pve that's usually what'll kill you

5/3 weapons isn't that important to me since I'd run beam arrays on both.

The yamato get a hangar, an extra device slot, and slightly more base hull, but I don't think that outweighs anything above.

I got this one pre-DR and I remember seeing it a few times in the patch notes in 2015 but not really thinking much about it. I found this thread and apparently this was a problem pre-DR too, just sometimes.

Usually when something appears as "fixed" multiple times it means that it's permanently broken. I'm guessing this is just something buried somewhere in the spaghetti code* that STO runs on that can't be completely fixed without breaking a bunch of other things, like the loot critter bug.

*A term I've seen thrown around enough to get an idea of what it means without actually knowing the technical limits of it.

Great video El, very professional in terms of presentation and your commentary.

Well done :)

We are indeed! I'm going to set up a special place in the forums for the accolade hunters club where we can share tips! Also, we'll have regular meetings where we can get them together!

I'll finalise the details this week and make a thread! :)

I'm glad you had fun with the admiral search xD

I had so much fun with the Admiral search! And the quiz, though it left me feel a little stupid - it was really difficult :D
I'm looking forward to doing more accolade hunting with you! I thought I'm the only one interested in getting them..
Are we going to have some special place like a thread in the forums or something to ask for help and talk about accolades in general? I mean, is the Accolade Hunters Club just a name or will we really be able to gather from time to time and share infos and tips and stuff?

Well just a few hours after I posted this I got in a mission, we got the Gekli and I just let someone else do it and now I have all the accolades I need :)
I tried flying on top of it, didn't work either.
What do you mean by spatial planes?
