A somewhat ‘spoiler-free’ review.  Despite the efforts of the past several weeks, this mission was loaded with Lag Spikes.  Lots and lots of lag.  It wasn’t game-ending frustration, but I get the impression that today’s launch delay may have had an impact on the game which is still being felt tonight.  On my second run, I came to a screeching halt with a bug. Broken … Continue reading Mission Review: Broken Circle – 4/5 Stars. Bugs and lag not withstanding.

Another Summer Event comes to an end, and I have to say I really enjoyed this year. The Nandi turned out to be one of the best free ships yet to be released, and unlike other offerings I’m still enjoying the Nandi as a decent all-round beam destroyer.    The new account-wide unlocks AND account-wide recovery options for the event reward ships have guaranteed I will … Continue reading Goodbye to Risa for Another Year

Where the heck did the past week go?  Sorry for the lack of posts this past week – so much to talk about – DMG does DMG, the new fleet holding and Fleet Armada structure, a fully functional communicator from Think Geek, Monkey Borg (’cause what could possibly go wrong?), and San Diego Comic Con is in full swing.  The usual sources have dumped a tonne … Continue reading Picked a bad week to work overtime, SO much Star Trek News…

” I brought my teeth for the voice-over “ And with that comment, the tone for this twitch cast went in an unexpected and enjoyable direction.  Part interview about the process with Captain Gecko, part behind the scenes with Aron talking about the origins of the character.

It’s been another busy week, not just for STO but me as well.   I’m 6 weeks away from launching a new web project (not STO related), and the office has me chained to a cubicle.   What makes the added work bearable is that Star Trek is being filmed a few hundred meters from me.  Have I seen anything yet?  Nope.  But if you hear about … Continue reading Recap: Delta Fleet Holding, Versatile [class] Kits, Trait Expansion Slots
