Even better.

Anyway, the point is that:
1) The Federation have literally warped the laws of time and space to revive the tribbles, and are now actively seeking to cultivate them.
2) Tribbles are a dangerous biological weapon against Klingons and their worlds, for at least two reasons (severe allergies that for all we know may be life-threatening in some Klingons, and also the tribble ability to rapidly devour ecosystems when introduced as an endangered species).
3) Going by some of the duty mission titles, the Klingons are at least prepared to consider using biological weapons against their enemies.
4) In turn, it is reasonable to fear that the Federation may think it wise to use tribbles as a weapon against the Klingons
5) As supporting evidence, Kirk did precisely that on at least two separate occasions in the 23rd century- once in TOS, once in TAS.

So there is precedent and cause to think that the Federation's decision to literally engage in time travel and retrieve and cultivate tribble specimens is intended in some way as a weapon against the Klingon Empire.

Given that this is true, taking care of the tribbles may be objectively less important than, say, killing Borg. But that doesn't mean a handful of ships can't be spared for the purpose, especially if they're only going to be on that mission for a short period of time. After all, it is unlikely that half a dozen ships will make the critical difference against the Borg when dozens or hundreds of ships are already deployed to fight them.

I suppose.

Anyway, I finished the Jem Hadar hatchery mission, much as it left a bad taste, in order to get past it. It turned out that the end involved a showdown with a rogue Founder, which honestly almost made up for the rest of the mission. Probably the toughest single opponent I've ever faced on the ground in this game. Fucker wiped out my whole team and when they respawned and came back, it was still fighting the stuff they'd deployed and took a while to wear down after that.

And in the category of random humour, I wonder how the other Founders felt about my men wading through a lake of their liquid bodies while conducing a gun battle.

The Founder is pretty annoying, yeah. Best way to do it is to keep reviving your crew as much as you can, and keeping your distance from the Founder so he can't grab you and bludgeon you...

Looks like the rewards for the Delta Recruit event are pretty decent and can be shared out among your other characters. Not a bad deal.

The only downside is some of the rewards *are* restricted, for example "Reputation Only Dilithium" can't be traded for Zen. But you can use them to get reputation items, so I don't think it's that big of a deal (and it's a waste of time trying to get Zen with dilithium anyway).

Oh, I'm not complaining about the Founder. I loved that fight. It was hard, but it felt like a nice climax to a mission which until then had been fairly humdrum when it wasn't infuriating.

It is nice to have a little challenge every now and then. I think that's my problem with SWTOR-- it's *too* steep of a learning curve. The first ten or twelve levels take me a couple of weeks of a couple hours' playing almost every day; that's twenty or thirty levels on STO. Rather a dramatic difference.

I did the new mission with my characters and it's nice the Herald fight once you get it is really good and it's nice how they poke fun at conventions of MMOs and STO in particural.

And what I really like about the Herald fight is that it's hard enough, you get the feeling that they're gonna be hard opponents and NPCs aren't just panicking for no reason, one they main problems with the Borg in STO is that NPCs treat them as they were this unstopble juggernaught but they're not that hard really.

Mirror Universe B'vat seems like a pretty decent chap.

And I wish the game would let me promote my main engineer further. She kept fighting after all my other away team members were taken down and ended up taking out the Terran chief.

personally I like the Kobali Engineer/command you can get in "Dust to Dust" (aka the Harry Kim bitching hour), I got her with almost all my chars, really nice ground abilities and decent enough traits too.

but it would be nice if I could promote my Boffs to captain (rank), I mean Ent-A had at least 2 captains serving on it at 1 point and I'm a bloody fleet admiral.

Oh and it would be nice if people here would review that Foundry mission I made so it would become publically avaible opposed to "reviewers only"

I'd like to play it but as I recall you said I'd have to be level fifty or higher and I'm still three levels short of that.

Ugg. I had to chase one of Dukat's children who was working with the Pah Wraiths through the Fire Caves. Fucking Pah Wraith cultists.

Anyway, looks like I'm done with the True Way and Mirror Universe stories. On to the Borg. This should be fun.

there's the Dominion Storyline between the True Way/Mirrorverse and Borg/Undine storylines.

Yeah.

I managed to win over the Klingons and Federation in the anti-Borg conference (but nobody else) and then a Dominion fleet showed up. I spent a while running from them and then I spent a while dealing with virtually every problem on the planet Bajor. Some of it was major stuff, but some of it seemed like the kind of shit an Ensign or Lt. should be doing.

It turned out the Dominion fleet was the one that disappeared during the Dominion War. Thanks for that one Prophets.

So now I'm trying to find the Founders to get them to call off their damn fleet. And I'm stuck. I'm supposed to collect particles from anomalies for this Ferengi merchant, but every time I approach one of the anomalies, nothing happens. Their's probably some really obvious thing I'm missing here, but its damn annoying, especially since I'm almost at level fifty.

It could be bug there's different ways of doing for each class and you got to get really close (as in within 200 meters) to trigger node.

200 meters? Are you sure that's right? That's virtually nothing.

Incidentally I am really glad I upgraded the hell out of my Runabout. The battle I used it in at Deep Space 9 right before the annoying Ferengi merchant stuff was terribly tough. I shudder to think how horrible it would have been had my Runabout not been upgraded with all sorts of level ten technology.

yeah I'm sure within 0.2 km. it's that bloody close close.

EDIT:if you're logged to the game I can come give you a hand if you want.

Not logged in at the moment. Its late, or rather, early in the morning, so I think I'm going to finishing that mission later. Thanks anyway.

I finished that annoying mission. The Ferengi was a sleaze, but I spared her life when a Vorta told me to kill her. After all, its not a Starfleet officer's job to be an executioner for the Dominion.

Also, made it to level fifty and Vice Admiral.

I'll let you know what I think of your Foundry mission when I've had time to play it Lord Revan.

That said it's kind of a missed opportunity that it doesn't really matter if you spare that ferengi or not.

it would have been nice that you would have had to do something to bring the Dominion on board if you saved her.

it's 18:39 local now and I live +2 GMT so the servers should be up but they aren't and nothing on the forums yet.

I'm not sure when you posted this but according to the game's Facebook page they were going to be down for 3.5 hours for maintenance earlier today.

Also, apparently the new tier six ships are having their debut today.

so I've heard though I was more intrested on the Delta Recruit and I got my mine now a fem Reman and so far my only real problem with it is a bug that prevents me from playing the new episode with Sela due the system thinking I'm not allied with UFP for some reason when I try to hail that mission.

Well, I'm facing the Borg now, and I have made good use of my new Jem Hadar security officer. He did well in battle- I think I'll promote him to Lt. Commander soon.

Also, Lord Revan, I finally used up the last of that phaser turret you gave me. Thanks for that. It proved quite useful.

I looked for your Foundry mission but couldn't find it.

Anyway, back to Earth for now.

you need to become a reviewer to see it, as it's not fully "out" yet once you're a reviewer just search by name and you should find it.
Also I got my new reman to mid 40s now and she has nice nest egg waiting for the time she gets to level 50 and starts using the rep system.

I'm a little wary about becoming a reviewer because of the warning they give you about seeing stuff that might be offensive. I mean, this is the internet and their are a lot of twisted people out their, so I'm worried I'll end up reviewing someone's creepy porno or neo-Nazi fanfic. So, this may sound like a dumb question, but just to double check since it isn't clear to me- if I sign up to become a reviewer, I don't have to review anything I don't want to, do I?
