We can assume based on previous ships that it will be a science ship, and that is pretty cool in it’s own right. We’ve wanted a true Federation carrier since the introduction of carriers. What stands out – and … Continue reading What Team are YOU voting for? And what’s this about the feds finally getting a CARRIER?

Customization & Tailor restrictions in STO – Role-Player’s perspective

Originally posted on Captain Jan's Musings:
It has been discussed so many times – the Tailor, aka the customization tool of the Star Trek Online. The opinions on it vary, but I believe I speak for quite few people, when I say, that most of us want to be able to customize our characters as much as possible.
