Great outline there Spade... :D

heh though I think you're the only person to say BOff and not BO when referring to Bridge Officers lol.
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

Maybe the only person on here, but I've seen it said a lot ingame.

Also, Jem'Hadar! This mission is 2 levels above me :P

they only show up when you go full impulse or do sharp maneuvers... it's really there to give you a better sense of motion... like the motion blur and space dust in BC does.

And also its been said many times in this thread that it can be turned off anyway.
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

Actually i LOVE the warp/impulse trails! it brings  back a nostagic WOK era feel mixed with TNG. Cryptic did a decent job of finding a way to "Kitbash" all the eras of the show IMO.

The trails remind me about the good old game Homeworld.
I prefer the bc way of showing motion.

Ok got my teir 3 cruser i have improved the turn rate by 15% thanks for that. But have to say not happy with the fire power. So i changed the arrays to dual and put in q torp launchers and still not good. Any ideas ? Also looking for a fleet if anyone needs a new member
Stewie (to Lois): Look at him. He runs like a Welshman. Doesn't he run like a Welshman? Doesn't he? I think he runs like a Welshman. ...

Okay i went through this mission that was the most ILLOGICAL storyline i have EVER seen!! End of the "saturday" chain missions vs Romulans, you go to a world where admiral james leanord whats his face the kid born on the TOS episode where the mom name him after kirk and mccoy, anyways, the chief will side with klingons or feds but the way the SUDDENLY mention" oh by the way, theres a giant asteroid about to crush our world, whoever destroyes it we will side with ". OKAY--so your telling me both the Klingons and feds are WASTING time with 2 diplomats on a world ABOUT to be crushed by an asteroid ANY second?? THat makes how much sense? and HOW do they know WHO shot it apart?? magic??

uh easy if they know an asteroid is coming then they can easily monitor what is happening around it...

almost sounds like the Worm Hole ep in TNG

"The planet has a rare mineral that we REALLY need AND a sencient civilzation on it, but who cares; it's gonna be destroyed by an asteroid. We CAN stop it, but 'meh'." I doubt either Starfleet or the Klingons would think like that.

And IIRC, humans had telescopes around that stage of technical advance. (Also the Klingons retreat, so can't tell the people on the planet they destroyed it)

Holy sh*t, I think I subconsciously coloured my Ships the Department Colour they are associated with. (Red: Tactical/Security Blue: Science/Medical Yellow/Orange: Engineer)
