Neverwinter?

[captain_obvious]

It needs a darker colour.  That, and fewer shadow glitches xD
I like where they're going with it though.  A great change from the (mostly) crap ones in game.

Say, isn't negativity normally my job Kori?

It needs tweaking, but I hope they keep it.

[Tuskin38]

Yeah, you're right about the darker colour, looks a lot better.

I tried it with white on my andorian toon.  It just doesn't work with light colours at all xD

[ACES_HIGH]

it's a two tone hair, I think it's using the mythical "new hair tech" they promised us years ago.

Huh, and there I was thinking it was just another mildly annoying bug.  What's with the four colour boxes rather than just two though, if it's only a two-tone hair?

According to Generations, the next time the Nexus/Ribbon is to come back around in that part of the Galaxy is 2410. STO is currently still in 2409, when and if they advance the plot year, they could do a story based around it.

Also Jesse Heinig is dropping vague hints about the 4th Anniversary in the PVP chat.

[12/21 9:33] [OrganizedPVP] Ulmek@Jesse_Heinig: Well, the part of the 4th anniversary that I worked on involves a stiff battle against the <x>. It starts small but starts getting out of hand until <y> shows up. Then things get pretty crazy, but

[12/21 9:34] [OrganizedPVP] Ulmek@Jesse_Heinig: there's a heroic moment by <z> with an . . . unusual new mechanic.

New contest! http://sto.perfectworld.com/news/?p=1070861&cpage=1

Open the UK, Ireland, US and Canada, details inside. Though the rules say if someone outside of the countries wins they will receive a digital prize, not the physical one.

The JJ-Verse uniform is back in Treasure Trading Station again. Are the NPC costumes random in this mission? because some times its there and sometimes it isn't. I only ever play it once per Fed character, so that is 4 times over the past 4 years.

What a load of bull---- from Cryptic. Thou I have no problems with the JJ-verse TOS uniforms, they have NO PLACE in the so called "Prime" timeline of STO. While ships like the Narada or Jellyfish were developed in the prime timeline, and thus fair game to be included in STO, the JJ-verse uniforms originated in the "JJ-verse". I thought that movies post-Nemesis were handled by Paramount, while CBS handles tv-shows and other merchandise such as games? And as far as I know, Cryptic only holds the license to anything Trek-related which is owned by CBS, not Paramount.

The uniform has been in game since beta. I think they were made, put in game and forgotten about. Probably made before they knew what they had rights to, or perhaps like having Quinto as a voice, it was going to be another tie in but they never released them.

They don't appear anywhere else in the game.

I present to you, the last remaining piece of the Children of Khan STF:


There's probably lots more unused content from the abandoned STF in the game files. At one point before the Foundry was taken down back in 2011, Mutara Nebula maps, backdrops, and even a U.S.S. Asgard interior were on TRIBBLE at one point and were removed. The backdrop is the only thing that remains.

[captain_obvious]

Children of Khan? I hadn't heard of that.  I like that back drop though I'd shrink it down quite a bit lol.

[captain_obvious]

Btw, I hear that that f**khead "Skybuckflying" has been banned from sto!

[BarnesSFC]

Children of Khan? I hadn't heard of that.  I like that back drop though I'd shrink it down quite a bit lol.

Special Task Force: Children of Khan

Amar Singh escapes from Federation custody, and he and an underground group of Augments steal the U.S.S. Asgard and race toward the remains of the Mutara Nebula. Can you stop them before they start a new Eugenics War?

    Fight a fleet assembled by Princep Khan and his followers.
    Beam onto the Asgard, and battle through its corridors to save civilians and crew.
    Confront the Princep. Can you deal with his transporter tricks?
    Save the divided Asgard and give the saucer section a chance to escape!

[BarnesSFC]

Welcome to the Mutara Nebula

[Darkthunder]

"the remains of the Mutara Nebula" it says in the description. Looking at the above screen, that doesn't look like any "remains" at all. Looks more like it did in Wrath of Khan.

[captain_obvious]

Looks nifty though.

[Tuskin38]

So SFC and I have been leveling Engineers.

I didn't realize Cruisers could be fun, back when I first played I found them slow and unweildly, but after playing nothing but Tactical for the last 4 years, its a nice change of pace.

Ikr? Be aware though, that beam fire at will is broken (again).  No crits or procs from beam weaponry under the effects of bfaw.

[Tuskin38]

I don't use FAW so I'm good.

Apparently according to Jesse heinig FAW is a pain to work on, might be why it keeps breaking. Maybe they should re-code it. Maybe it should be recoded or something.
