Thanks for the info Kori. What are the odds on getting either a standard Wells or mirror Wells?

Mirror Wells is only in the Lobi Store, need 800.

Figured that out today, should probably start actually reading those blog posts instead of skimming lol. So, probably gonna need plenty of keys since I haven't noticed any other way to get Lobi crystals, so one way or another, it'd take money and a lot of luck.

Sean Tourangeau (the guy who designed the Luna class) is pissed - he left a message on his Facebook the other day, and now on STO's forums, condemning the crap job Cryptic did first with his Luna, and now with the mirror Luna. I have to agree, these MU markings suck. His post here:

I have that mirror luna on my eng toon. Nice little boat but I wish they'd fix the black patches on it and yes I turned off the damn mirror markings. Bloody horrible things.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #3625 on:** October 01, 2012, 04:58:21 PM »

Black Patches can be fixed by turning off DX11. There is no advantage I see with turning on DX11, I have not noticed any improvement FPS wise or any visual difference.

captain_obvious · « **Reply #3626 on:** October 01, 2012, 06:46:18 PM »

I get a noticeable boost with dx11 fps wise. The lighting also appears softer and more appealing in dx11.
I knew about the whole "turn off dx11" fix but I'd rather have unsightly black patches in a smooth running game than a juddery wreck of a game.

WIP shot of the vesta

Gamma is totally screwed on that pic (far too bright), so it's hard to see the details.

But given their track record on making ships "accurate", i'm not holding out much hope.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #3629 on:** October 04, 2012, 11:17:48 AM »

Looks like the image was taken with a Camera.
Also, I wonder if the 1000 Day vet ship is going to based off one of the Ent-F Contest Finalists designs.

New image, the paint job seems accurate.

Joshmaul · « **Reply #3630 on:** October 04, 2012, 02:20:00 PM »

Is that a deflector dish or a jumpgate?

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #3631 on:** October 04, 2012, 02:29:28 PM »

Well the Vesta in the novels was the first ship class to have quantum slipstream I believe, maybe the deflector is designed for that.

Edit:
Derp, the joke went over my head, I see the resemblance now.

Btw, are there any guys from the ninth fleet here? Just caught one of their guys trolling CSE. He really needs a talking to about how not to be an ass in chat, how to fly an escort, how to build an escort worth a damn as well as how to run CSE. Oh and don't forget to tell him what injuries and components are.
Either he was a troll or an idiot. But by his responses and the places he was flying to in the map (i.e. off to the edge 100km away) I'm guessing this person is a troll.

There's a difference?

lol ikr?
But does an idiot fly off to the edge of the map once the cube is popped early only returning for loot?
This guy seriously needs a talking to. I hope it's the same ninth fleet as the one that had a few reps floating around in here!

FarShot · « **Reply #3635 on:** October 04, 2012, 06:54:52 PM »

Depends, there's a 9th Fleet and a The Ninth Fleet. We're just Ninth Fleet. ~~Do you remember the fellow's character@handle?~~

EDIT: I see you included that, albeit very small. He is not a member of our fleet.

captain_obvious · « **Reply #3636 on:** October 04, 2012, 07:04:32 PM »

Hmm, I'm sure fleet tag said "The Ninth fleet" rather than "9th fleet" but then again it was a few hours ago and I'm rather tired atm.
I wanted to make the text the same colour as the back ground but due to a lack of a suitable option to do so, I had to resort to making it size 1 instead.

Anyway, thanks FS

FarShot · « **Reply #3637 on:** October 04, 2012, 07:10:48 PM »

I should have clarified. There's a 9th Fleet, a The Ninth Fleet, and a Ninth Fleet. We're the third. He probably was the second.

Joshmaul · « **Reply #3638 on:** October 05, 2012, 01:51:16 AM »

There's also "The Ninth", which was formed by a Star Trek RP group I am (was) semi-involved in - which, of course, is called "the Ninth Fleet".

captain_obvious · « **Reply #3639 on:** October 05, 2012, 06:22:45 AM »

Ah I see. Sorry to have bothered you guys with this.
