I don't mind it. I like having multiple ways of getting things I want.

Interesting, but without the ability to sort out doffs or work the exchange we might as well leave this thing be. In the form it looks to be atm it's just a vanity tool.
But he did say there are more features to come, so I'm hopeful. Being web-based it must be an absolute nightmare to set up, couldn't they just make apps for specific mobile os'es in python, C or whatever language smartphones use nowadays?

Yeah, the initial version is just "testing the water" I guess, see how well it works with a lot of people using it before putting in those features.

Brandflakes has said they're working towards DOFF integration.

Hmmm...more stuff to spend our million currencies on?

Darkthunder · « **Reply #3685 on:** October 24, 2012, 01:33:23 AM »

Remember pre-F2P? When the game had too many currencies, so they had to "merge" them into the super-currency called 'Dilithium' ?

With each passing season, the list of currencies are expanded.
(also of note, is the apparent "lazyness" at Cryptic... both the FED and KDF Embassy's look identical except for the coloring)

Joshmaul · « **Reply #3686 on:** October 24, 2012, 04:38:56 AM »

I think because they're supposed to both be Romulan embassies. (Or at least Romulan-built embassies, from the looks of it. I mean, an ivy-wrapped column in a KLINGON embassy?)

Darkthunder · « **Reply #3687 on:** October 24, 2012, 05:19:45 AM »

That would be the only acceptable justification (if the Embassy was built by Romulans). I would hope the Fleet "projects" will allow KDF fleets to tailor the Embassy to look more Klingon after a while.

The brief appearance of the United Earth Embassy on Vulcan, showed a structure (both internally and externally), reminiscent of Earth. One would therefore assume that most Embassy's on alien worlds, would have "species specific" styling.

Joshmaul · « **Reply #3688 on:** October 24, 2012, 06:12:05 PM »

Completely off-topic: The United Earth Embassy on Vulcan reminds me of the "Ziggurat", an office building along the river in West Sacramento.

United earth embassy on vulcan? I don't recall that :/
I like the hangar in these new embassies though. Btw there's a new blog up. #8

I have to admit thou, the United Earth Embassy "interior" (what little we saw of it), could go either way. I don't know the exact design aesthetics of interiors of the 22nd Century, much less the 25th. But externally, the building looked reminiscent of Starfleet Command.

OH, I thought you guys meant that it was a set that already existed in the game!

It is funny I just watched that episode yesterday

What the, I don't even...WHAT PART OF THE FACT IT WAS THE LAST OF ITS KIND DO THEY NOT GET?

Darkthunder · « **Reply #3695 on:** October 29, 2012, 05:03:57 PM »

Cryptic's justification for AGAIN breaking canon...

"But if someone used the DNA of the M-113 creature to genetically engineer a similar creature that could be unleashed on a population?"

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #3696 on:** October 29, 2012, 05:29:13 PM »

Yes, but things screwing with the space-time continuum to bring back timeships can happen. There was only the one creature and it was killed. And there's no evidence that the Enterprise kept the body in isolation.

Holy. They really thought that through. I also absolutely love the subclasses. Cryptic really knocked it out of the park for once.

I direct a butt-ton of emphasis towards this quote...
