P.S. the upgrade for the Avenger retains all of it's killingness (PS fuck your Devs for making us pay for that with the Avenger. Also, high-fives to Seff for hooking a brother up with an upspec token. You the Man, bro). The Avenger is your Lord and Master, and all shall bow before it... Which remin...

Exchange dilithium for Zen or buy them on the exchange. Usually around 1.5million or so a pop.

So, I may have had some Lobi lying around. These then mysteriously became Shiny Things for Q. In conclusion: Broadside mounts are perfect.

Looks like it's going to be rather tough, especially now I've got my hands on the Guardian's trait.

Running as a tactical captain with no particular desire to make lolDPS builds I tend to have 3 forward beams and the Gravy torpedo, along with 3 aft beams and the cutting beam. It's tried and true and has got me through content quite effectively. I tend to drop off a torpedo spread on the way in and...

Avengers are pretty nice ships and I do like that they've got blast shutters the close over the windows and parts of the drive glow. Someone's put thought into that. I'm currently puttering around in the Guardian Cruiser . I wasn't a big fan of the look of it to start with, but it's growing on me. M...

Cyborg Ronan leader minion who fought Starlord for the ball at the start was brown. I sit corrected. The guy made an impact on me that would require specialist equipment to detect apparently. Also now trying to work out which gem is which. The Tesseract is the Space gem, the Aether is the Reality g...

Okay, so. Just got back from seeing the movie and I enjoyed it, a lot. I've not read the thread beyond post 1, so I'll just dump a stream of conciousness behind spoiler tags to avoid ruining it for anyone interested. Okay, wow. That first 5 minutes or so. The Nova Corps seems to have suffered from a...

Over in my heavily-modded Fallout 3, the Radscorpion became a thing. Every now and then, regardless of where I was in the world, with a terrific battering and crashing, this giant radscorpion that had been mangled by the game's physics engine whickered through the air near me, bounced off the ground...

Not a big follower of the World Cup, but Germany deserved that one. Good on them.

Hopefully this isn't that much of a necro, the thread's still on the front page after all... Following a space/time cataclysm, all of history was rather regrettably undone. Still, after a few hundred years of rebuilding, SeffTech is pretty sure it's back where it started and there's no differences w...

Here's some fun facts from the Thunderbirds Haynes manual for what you're up against: Thunderbird 1: Length: 115 feet Weight: 140 tons Max Speed: 15000mph Max Altitude: 150000 feet Range: Unlimited(!) Powered by nuclear fusion VTOL capable Stealth: MIDAS - 'A force field capable of cloaking the craf...

Without spoiling it, I'm liking the new feature episode. A little cutscene heavy but it's fun, wide-ranging and shit gets done.

The most convincing speculation I've heard is embuggeration regarding the HD Hellkitty. I don't seem to be suffering problems, but I've a few friends who have been.

Flicking idly through the Ketty Jay books by Chris Wooding, they're always good steam/dieselpunk novels to keep around. Other than that, my night-time reading's been Suetonius' The Twelve Caesars . I find it utterly fascinating, as a 2000 year old book that's the next best thing to someone who's act...

Yeah, it happens that I rather delight in using full impulse to zoom right past the enemy, dumping plasma as I go by... Although if I'm going up against a D'deridex I really should remember to hold on to my plasma for when the beast grabs me with the tractors and tries to torpedo-salvo me. Better t...

I'm quite fond of the Patrol Escorts, although the Sovereign is also a nice choice. The good news is that the Sovvie can at least turn slightly faster.

'Mines and Plasma' is a fairly wide category that I've not used much, but I found dumping the warp plasma more useful on the cruisers I was playing.

IIRC Quants have the better burst damage, while photons offer better sustained damage. Cruisers will want quants given they're not likely to have launchers facing the enemy all that often. Escorts work nicely with the faster firing photons. As for Scientists, go with whatever you like.

Of course, on the ground you get the busywork of remodulating to cleanse the adaption debuff. In space, the Borg can still be nasty in STFs, but I enjoy the satisfaction of murdering a Cube with a barrage of anti-proton fire coupled with some quantum torpedo barrages. I've never worried too much ab...

Turrets count as cannon weapons, so they'll run off of all the cannon powers. Generally, they're a bit pants. Good for Escorts, but cruisers are much better off as beam boats. I tend to keep a fore and aft torpedo in my cruisers, IIRC 6 beams is about as good as a non-engineer will get in terms of d...

I'm quite enjoying historical battles at the moment, even when it's a sea of lolTDs on the other side. Erlenberg Germans vs. US is pretty fun as either side. Two King Tigers and two Panthers vs. a sea of Hellcats and Shermeng is pretty fun. So far the Germans tend to have the advantage but if they'r...

M103, Tortoise, Maus and Panther have HD upgrades in the latest update, Centurion 7/1 and T-34-85 in the next, apparently.

The HD Maus on the test server is bizzare. It's so... smooth. It's like an alien artifact that dropped into the battlefield.

That said, all of them are looking very nice so far, even the dog-ugly M4 Egg.

Welp, 20 matches, no wins. And not even slightly losing. All but one was a total curbstomp that basically left me at the mercy of 9-15 enemy tanks. My teams may have actually achieved more if they'd shot themselves into a ditch because at least that way they'd actually gone somewhere and have hit so...

I think the Chieftan's been labelled 'no' for a very long time.

Also, must be a bonus weekend as my teams have all decided to reinvent suicide as a group activity.

Well, that ended in a fairly tense game of 'spot the Tiger'. I don't know how he got to the end with full health, but I was very unhappy when I saw him.
