Has anyone had any problems with being randomly silenced lately? For the last 3 days I've been on "silence" with the timer stuck on 23:59:59.
Think I'd better get the support guys in!

I hate saying that I really don't want to sign into the game as much as I used to. And the main reason for that is there's absolutely nothing for my Klingon character to do. This is a big problem for the Klingons. I want to continue the story missions, but my level is never high enough for the next one so I have to back track and do more.

Or grind out nebula surveys and what not; that's how my second LG got high enough.

New Friday Screenshot

Its from a PVE ground Zone that will require the use of EV suits, since the Tholian isn't wearing his the environment obviously isn't good for us.
Anyways the Mission is coming to tribble sometime today.

well, that made the Ent Tholian's appearance canon-er

Tholian Dreadnought, coming in Season 6 (on Tribble testserver now)

Definitely one of Cryptic's better designs.

It was on Screen, so it was canon enough already.

Yay Tholians. Something other than Rommies, Klingons, and Borg.

FarShot · « **Reply #3410 on:** July 07, 2012, 01:29:25 AM »

Definitely one of the most alien races in Trek. It's a shame they never really dealt with them beyond just a few episodes.

Yeah, it all boils down to cost. Having them on screen frequently would be very costly with all that cgi.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #3412 on:** July 07, 2012, 01:07:27 PM »

Whereas prior to the CGI Tholians of Enterprise, the discussions probably went something like this:
"Well, what major thing can we throw at the crew this week?"
"How about the Tholians? We've only had one episode with them."
"How are we going to do them?"
".....You're right, let's make it the Klingons(or Romulans, or Cardassians, or Dominion, or Borg)."

So the Aquarius (the little escort that the Tactical Odyssey launches) will be available as a separate ship for those who with 200k (or 20k and 4 schematics for the 'fleet variant) fleet credits and reach Tier 4 Shipyard at their fleet base.

Base Aquarius stats

Fleet Variant

Darkthunder · « **Reply #3414 on:** July 08, 2012, 12:33:08 AM »

Just to be clear, the officer line-up is as follows:

Commander Tactical
Lt. Commander Tactical
Lieutenant Engineer
Lieutenant Universal
Ensign Universal

They need to make a new icon for the "Universal" stations, so it's alot more distinct. Right now it looks VERY similar to the Engineering icon.

Any word on whether or not she'll be classified as a small ship? I mean without a science station, it does seem pretty gimped for STF's (granted that's what universal slots are for), but it does seem a tad more powerful than a shuttle is.

You realise that two of the boff slots are universal right?

I believe he did say that, yes.

And...I admit I'm a bit curious. Is the Aquarius an escort, as in Saber-Akira-Defiant-etc., or just a very large shuttlecraft? The previews I saw of the Tac-Ody seem to favor the latter.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #3418 on:** July 08, 2012, 11:58:37 AM »

Its a small escort.

Now that is an awesome looking ship. Can't wait to see it in BC or Excalibur.
