Which ones?

I really should try the new tutorial.

Glad that the foundry spotlight is going again.  I wish there were more good single episodes instead of multi-parters.

[captain_obvious]

Oh, the hangover jacket? Heh.  I like it.

I don't think that there are that many good single eps now.  Lots of limitations in the foundry which are apparently very easy to hit when making an ep that more than a simple grinder.

The Anniversary featured episode is suppose to advance Dyson Sphere story instead of just being a one off thing like Temporal Ambassador was.

Sounds good.  I look forward to it.

A map, haha.

I heard from someone in UFP that sulibans is confirmed as a playable faction for the romulans.

[Phoenix Bondi]

I am in ufp, and im not sure thats true, there was mention of it from a couple of us browsing though files that it would be GOOD, not that we found it, my self and begotten are looking though files as we can, there are more iconian ships in the system but we can't accsess them at present!

Have a couple interesting tweets from Geko

This one here, working in the Sound Studio while Branflakes is in LA. Possibly Branflakes is with someone in LA recording audio?

I heard from someone in UFP that sulibans is confirmed as a playable faction for the romulans.

Nope they aren't confirmed yet officially. All that UFP member probably found were files named "Avatars". I dig some searching and I found the same files - all this means is that they found the assets used for the NPC/DOFF sulibans that could be used for players as well, but for now are just for NPC's.


I only found files for the suliban cell ship assets and suliban head textures. That's it.

Space tentacles....  I don't know what to think.  Is it just another step down the same path of "Dinosaurs with lasers on their heads"? 
I shall remain cautiously optimistic for the moment. 


Also, servers have gone "boom". 

[Zoberraz]

Why is this so wierd?

Do none of you remember "Encounter at Farpoint"?

Those tentacles aren't blue or glowing, and they've wrapped themselves around a starbase.

[FarShot]

They seem to be of a different tentacle consistency, do not glow like ethereal jellyfish, and don't have sucker feet on the ends.

[captain_obvious]

Do none of you remember "Encounter at Farpoint"?

Not to mention that they weren't tentacles

I also forgot - Elachi have tentacles on their drones as well

So what came first? The tentacle or the dinosaur?

I don't see why everyone complains about the Voth, but the first race added was the Elachi, then the Voth.

[1DeadlySAMURAI]

I don't see why everyone complains about the Voth, but the first race added was the Elachi, then the Voth.

I don't mind the Voth as the intelligent species we saw in ep Distant Origin.
But some of the Voth in game are the old dinosaurs animals are known to us here in the real world.
I do not like that part. I want to keep then as we first saw them.

[FarShot]

I think the assumption is that since the Voth evolved on Earth as the first intelligent species, when they relocated to the Delta Quadrant, they brought some of their unintelligent cousins with them.
