Holodeck Release Notes: August 6th, 2015, and bigger Zen discounts for larger purchases.

STLV started today, and I can’t but feel I’m missing out on the ST event of the year.  So many cool things to see, do, drink, and people to meet.  I’ve booked my time off for next year and my fingers are crossed that the project gods will look kindly on me, with no last minute work-related mergers and acquisitions to deal with. There will most … Continue reading Holodeck Release Notes: August 6th, 2015, and bigger Zen discounts for larger purchases.

Tribble Update for August 4th, 2015

Quick side note:  I’ve been quiet on the changes to the consoles, the player responses to snipey’s player letter and the broad ranging SHOW episode primarily because the ground keeps changing – and I am working longer hours. Ask and ye shall receive. Last night @LaughingTrendy dropped some good news/hints during an impromptu, unscripted livestream / podcast which has since been taken down, speaking to both bugs … Continue reading Tribble Update for August 4th, 2015

Having finally having a chance to outfit and fly each of the new Heavy Escort Carriers (ok, ok, they’re not all HEC’s  – but lets not quibble) its time to march out an easy-to-check comparison chart.  This time I’ve expanded the chart to include a ship not found in this bundle as well, in addition to the fleet versions. If you find information that is … Continue reading Updated T6 Heavy Escort Carrier Comparison List, Revised Impressions of the Alita

A kick-ass podcast this week with The SHOW – long – but well worth the 2 hours.

I’ve had an unusually busy week, and didn’t have my usual chance to enjoy this weeks podcast.  I’ve fallen behind with a few planned posts on the T6 HEC comparisons (coming right at after this blog), but as I was building the HEC comparison chart it turned into an interesting 2 hour event, a great interview with IQFleet, capping off with a follow-up to Snipey’s post … Continue reading A kick-ass podcast this week with The SHOW – long – but well worth the 2 hours.

Return of the Heavy Escort Carriers. T6 Here I come….

Now for some serious ship love. Oh baby… Back when fleet ships were first introduced, my must-have fleet variant was the Armitage class.  In Star Trek Online you have a wide selection of ships types, and back then the escort-class was all the rage.  The game carried the moniker ‘Escorts Online’ and I promise you it had nothing to do with with dating opportunities. The … Continue reading Return of the Heavy Escort Carriers. T6 Here I come….

NOT A REAL POST. HONEST. DPS- 500K Admin ChesterCheese announced that ‘we’re resetting’ the entire league following the 5.3 Million dps run DPS run on ISE earlier today.  “It’s just not fair” Chester mentioned in chat earlier today, ” we worked so hard to pad our numbers.  This just isn’t fair anymore.” In related news, resale value on unsold Tholian Recluses dropped below the 50 million … Continue reading DPS-500K Admins calls it quits, reforms as DPS-Unobtanium after the 5M DPS barrier broken.
