So the new FE episode was fun, I liked it. Lots of back story and hints as to where the Fleet Came from (I mean most players already knew, but its exposition for your captain)

Also I think Jon St. John did a voice... Seriously there is a Klingon character that sounds just like him.

Considering that sensor scans would have shown that the Dominion ships are a bit behind the technological curve and that listening posts in the Gamma Quadrant hadn't sent any warnings about a huge fleet of that size, one would think it wouldn't take too long to add 2 and 2 together. Especially if any starship had any telepaths on board.

Also this:

Someone messed up.

EDIT 2: Would it have been that hard to create a new model for the Jem Hadar armor? It looks just like my Polyweave Alloy Armor.

I didn't notice the voice although I take off my headphones whenever I hear a voice over coming on in this game!

Hell, My M.A.C.O Armor looks the same as the new "Jem Hadar Armor", and the Polyweave Alloy Armor.

Wouldn't mind some additional armor designs, eventhough "Armored personnel" is technically not very Trek-like.

Well, the security guards in the movies did have some armour supposedly.

I actually like having armor, it makes going into a borg infested facility seem slightly less suicidal. Slightly.

Anyway, about the mission, why couldn't the dominion forces simply look at a calender on DS9 to confirm what my character was trying to tell them about being teleported to the future (present). For that matter, why couldn't the prophets give us a 5 minute warning? Nothing special, just take over some poor saps mind and have him push the red alert and disaster beacon buttons summoning every ship in the sector to deep space 9. By the time someone gets around to canceling the order, out pops the dominion fleet staring at a fully assembled federation fleet on one side and the klingons on the other (weapons pointed at eachother of coarse) There, problem solved.

At least the Malcolm Reynolds got a bit of target practice in

In their defense, the station has been taken over by a Vorta, and the Vorta aren't exactly known for being hugely trusting. I think we should be lucky that DS9 isn't under a Founder. At least with a Vorta, you might have had a chance at convincing her of the truth. A Founder would've called bullshit as soon as the first words left Kurland's mouth.

...Why oh why couldn't it have been a Weyoun clone? Weyoun may have been a dick at times, but he was also reasonable.

we'll have to wait and see, they might be giving us another set costume like the MACO and Omega, if that's the case the armor model doesn't matter, I always hide it anyways.

And the Klingon ones don't give you the option to show it at all...not even with the Honor Guard outfits, AFAIK - considering aren't the Honor Guard outfits with helms and cloaks actually uniform pieces from completing the set, not the actual visuals of the set?

Honestly I think the whole klingon side of STO is a bit of a damp squib. I found it nowhere near as fun as the fed side. The STFs are the worst though, I haven't seen any of the teamwork you get on the fed side!

BTW, is anyone else having trouble with server dropouts today? I was just on there and it was absolutely unplayable. Many others on qo'nos were having the same issues.

I'm serious. I've done dozens of STFs as a fed and failed once maybe twice. As a klingon I've attempted 8 and failed 8 each failure happening because everyone else drops out leaving me to do it on my own. It also doesn't help there's still a goddamn leavers penalty if you're the last man out!

Yeah, once you get all 3 MKXI Honor Guard Peices you unlock the armour costume, same with the MACO set.

Who knows, maybe it'll be the same with the Jem'Hadar armor.

Wish I could spend the time getting the MACO ground and space sets, but I may just settle for the Borg space equipment.

I'm going back to the feds soon. I'll be working my way up to get the full maco set for my ship in order to the the heavy grav beam.
Because last night I saw one guy take on a transwarp gate single handed and win. He didn't need to take out the nanite generators to do it!

Sorry, but that has been 'fixed' now, from todays patchnotes:

Updated the nano healing beams for Borg STFs so they will no longer be disabled by powers that knock Auxiliary systems offline.

I missed that bit. Sheeiiiit!

And another thing why the hell does each and every single patch have to be 500mb+!? The change lists I'm looking at don't seem that long!

Say hello to the Star Fleet Renegades Founding members in the pic from left to right
Gibbs, MeteoraFallen, Centurus, Wiley E Coyote, and yours truly

captain_obvious · « **Reply #3037 on:** February 24, 2012, 12:56:04 PM »

Wow, it's sure taking it's time on this patch! Smashed through the first 70% or so but it's slowed to a crawl

btw, I never see any of you guys on there. Am I just getting the times wrong?

Dawg81 · « **Reply #3038 on:** February 24, 2012, 01:07:26 PM »

we are on usually during late evenings EST anywhere from 9 on up to 2 in the morning and im stf addicted
