Why would you need to go faster than warp 20? Is there another galaxy you're trying to get to? grin
Not at all :D

But the skill certainly helps for travel speed, cutting down the time to go from place to place. Especially during a "Tour of the Galaxy" event.
It's always nice when you have a shedload of skill points saved up.  I just maxed out my drive coil stat from zero, hell of a difference!

How odd. I seem to be unable to log in :/

Searched the STO threads for an answer, but have had no luck. I've read that other people are having problems with screwy access to mission episodes, and on my end, I can't even progress through them any more. Does anyone know if they're even looking at fixing this problem, because it's really putting me off the game altogether. There's only so many times you can discover new systems and play PvE's before they become boring.

What, exactly, is the problem? Are the 'hail' options grayed out in the mission list?

A screencap wouldn't go amiss...

Yeah, going by the screencap below, the mission that should be next in line is greyed out and I can only repeat some of the ones I've already done. Some have hail buttons that only lead to a blank screen when pressed too.

You are Rear Admiral, Lower Half 42?  I can't tell because that screen is blurry.

Arrrgh! Didn't realise the image had been downsized! I just made RALH 42 last night and was cleared for a couple of new missions.

Basically, Cryptic is releasing, for a Limited time during the 2year anniversary (2nd-6th) the Odyssey Class (Ent-f's class) anyone Level 5+ can have the chance to fly it in a shake down cruise, and if you beat the mission you unlock it for your character once you hit 50. After that it will be gone for a Unspecified period of time, then released for everyone free via in-game currency. (with variants being on the C-Store)

Also the Klingon's are getting their Flagship the same way.

most likely 100% bound.
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

Will most likely be bound on pick up. Cryptic reps have stated that there may be 'costumes' for the Odyssey type in the C-store, so maybe with my stipend I can make it look more... presentable?

GAH I've had it on my computer for about a week and have yet to play.  I've created my character, just haven't played...need to get on a roll here lol

Just found out a few days ago that it was Free to Play now and signed up too. Been hopping in and out when I have the spare time. Have to turn the graphics down low so I don't have to wait all day to load, but got it running pretty smooth.

Up to Lieutenant level 6 ATM.  Probably get addicted to it now. :D

I wasn't big on the new design either, there are some crazy looking ones I have encountered.
I created the U.S.S. Kentucky, a whacked out Centaur looking variant. Be good to learn things on.

Was wondering if some of you guys might have started a "BC" fleet to join.

I've been making a mental list of possible names for my Odyssey Class, I've decided on Iliad

I was going to name it the General Hammond, but that is the wrong universe. (though that didn't stop me from naming my Prometheus the "In Amber Clad")

I like the design of the Enterprise-F/Odyssey-class.  I'm trying to think of a few names.  My primary account, almost all of my ships, with the exception of a Runabout, have been named after legendary or fictional weapons.  My secondary Feddie uses ships that are to be named after places, characters, or weapons from Tolkien fiction.
