Correct. 10k dilithium = 4 Foundry mission slots.

I just wish they would quit making everything cost dil, or raise how much it's worth to fleet projects.

The Foundry seems to be deactivated for me is that intentional or not? Every time they do a major update (i.e. an expansion pack or a new season), they take the editor and reviewing systems offline and do an automated republish of all missions, then give us a week with the editor turned on and revi...

Okey-dokey. I'll message him next time I'm in the game. Thanks.

I got a PM in Star Trek Online from somebody who wants to register for our forum but can't because registration is disabled. Any word on when it'll be lifted again?

Yes, but they already have a plasma synergy set in the New Romulus reputation.

Sorry, don't see anything in the text of the 14th that guarantees Freedom of Speech against City Councils. Yes, but I strongly doubt there's any city council in the United States willing to try it and risk getting sued. Ten will get you a five, the judge it ends up in front of will make it a judici...

Soooo... What are the best Marks, or are they a good-for-different-stuff kind of situation? Because I've picked up some Nukara Marks (Nukara is bloody annoying, BTW) and am semi-interested in picking up some nicer ground weapons and armour. Unless you're running a specific couple of builds (like if...

There's a line between "exercising free speech" and "willfully provoking people to violence by delivering a calculated insult." WBC's preferred tactics ignore that line. I think, honestly, xkcd #1357 from a few days ago sums it up pretty well: http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/free_sp...

While I'm relieved I'm not the one who had to bring up the canon/cannon issue, um-laser cannon, turbolaser cannon, ion cannon, plasma cannon, transform cannon... I think the 'cannon' definition of 'fires bigass physical projectiles by way of chemical explosives' definition of cannon went the way of...

It does when the other humans in the squadron note the guy has a distinctive odor but actually rather like it, and he also objects to the smell of the other nonhuman members.

He came at it from an interesting angle IMHO, criticizing it mostly for throwing together so many plots that barely anything got sufficient screen time.

My fleet typically goes through and boots anybody who hasn't been active in a while (there's a hard membership cap), but they do send out a fleet-wide warning a day or two ahead of time.

Just an update here: I've been busy for the last while and now it's exam time so I won't be updating for a couple of weeks. Thread's on hiatus for the moment.

Chapter 4: Blood, Fire, and Steel Fleet Admiral William T. Riker Starfleet Headquarters, San Francisco, California Earth 0256 PST So it was more like five minutes. Even Will Riker, who worked here every day, had never seen this level of chaos in Starfleet Headquarters' central transporter terminal....

Ditto. I'm quite happy with my current fleet but board meetups are fine. I'm @starswordc.

I'm no vet by any standard but I'd say you can probably make due with just ensign Sci if you build an offense based cruiser (for a tanky one I'd think you'd need at least Lt.), there's engineer powers that can replace a lot if not most of your science defensive skills and you'll probably won't have...

Simon_Jester wrote:Likewise. Although when you say "Fire At Will," I read "point defense free." Also handy for dealing with those Romulan plasma torpedoes.

And the frakking Borg Unimatrix plasma bolts. They're a lot harder to deal with in my Vor'cha than in my Avenger beam cruiser.

This needs to be saved for posterity IMHO. Every time I see it it gets funnier.

That is way cool. The only issue I can think of is the potential for infection. My pastor's father had to have his pacemaker taken out because of that, and I saw a NOVA episode on separating twins conjoined at the head where they got delayed because the saline solution implants inserted to stretch t...

Oh, and here's a little reminder why I hate fucking Mogai Warbirds with a fucking passion. Fucking goddamn tractor-beam mine spammer fuckers with their goddamn heavy plasma torpedoes. I should have gotten a fucking Defiant rather than the bloody Galaxy. I would've thought a Defiant would actually h...

Best antiproton, frankly, is still Fleet Mk 12. No mumbo-jumbo, just a free CritD modifier, and higher base damage than anything from the Voth lockbox or that's available for free. I run six Fleet antiproton beams on my Avenger (four front, two back), the omnidirectional beam from "Sphere of In...

Ok, thanks, guys.

Just to be sure, those are for an E-3 or below talking to a E-4 to E-6?
