well its rumored there will be 3 Variants, one for engineers one for science and one for tactical officers, each with a unique console. Same with the Bortas.

The Calender on the main site does say 'variantS'

Ohhh this sounds awesome

Finally got MVAM working as it should.

If you didn't know already with the current Separation Tech you stop moving when seperating and when you re-join the pieces don't match during the animation, but now they will.

Other stuff

I hope not. It just seems filled with pointless frivolity, even more so than usual!
The CIC of a ship is generally cramped and crammed with people and consoles and that thing just seems enormous and utterly impractical. One of the things I have always hated about sto is the hugeness of it's bridges, rooms and corridors.
I've heard ST ships being compared to modern day MBTs and you know what? Even today MBTs are *very* cramped.

So if I understand the thing correctly, this "Shard of Possibilities" will not be available after, but the Jem'Hadar BOff will be? I wonder if that's why it was released before the series finale.

And I certainly hope the thing scales as you level. I'd hate to have it be useless. (The cane has scaled, so I figure this will too, but I dunno.)

The Shard of Possibilities does scale with your level.

Bit pissed that the Odyssey "Bridge" (as shown here, is apparently only gonna be included with the "Odyssey +1" on the C-Store, and not retrofitted onto the "Free" Odyssey that was given out during the anniversary event.

That's lame. That shouldn't be that way, the Odyssey is the Odyssey! I don't want to spend C-points to get an Odyssey with a better bridge...not to mention I'd need to remove everything from one Odyssey, then copy down the registry number.

Well, there is precedent, the USS Odyssey on DS9 didn't have the same bridge as the Enterprise-D, what you're flying now is a prototype.

Odyssey Mothership/Aquarius Addon?
I see what you did there Cryptic.

For anyone who doesn't know, Apollo 13's command module was christened Odyssey, and her lunar module Aquarius.

The FE was awesome, you can also keep that EVA suit.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #3115 on:** March 10, 2012, 05:10:46 PM »

Do you get to keep it as an armor or would it need an empty uniform slot?

It replaces the "Personal Armor" of your choice. Only useful in this specific episode, and for running around looking like "space alien"

It replaces your body armor, not your shield - which will be problematic once you get past the spacewalk part and you forget to put your armor back on. (Though not nearly as much as if you'd replaced your shield generator.

)

Ahh right. In my haste, I wrote the wrong "item slot"

(fixed my previous comment)

Did anyone else have problems with that mission? I absolutely hated that whole thing. Slow paced, bug ridden and badly thought out. If they think I'm going to replay it to get the other rewards they are sorely mistaken!

I kept running into invisible walls, I was thrown up into the air seemingly at random and not to mention that stupid, aggravating pointless (and bugged) excuse for a puzzle!
That one puzzle (the first one to do with the sensors) had problems with the clues not matching the puzzle and when it reset because I'd gotten it wrong (again) it didn't just reset it also changed the layout everygoddamntime. Did it update and change the clues? Nope not once. It took me 30 mins to get luck and guess the puzzle.
I am *not* playing that one again that's for sure! This game was great when I first played it when it went F2P but it's gone downhill *very* quickly.

Don't even mention "STF" and "loot" to me in the same paragraph. I've had no tech or salvage of any kind in almost 2 weeks now it's *very* annoying when someone goes "oh no not *another* rare salvage/tech that I have no use for.".
