Coming Soon: “Starship Creation in STO” Q&A Series with Thomas Marrone + Starship Giveaway Contest

I was interested in the details, the backstory and the collaborative effort involved in making vessels for the game. Unfortunately while Twitter is immediate, 140 character responses leave a little too much to the imagination. Given my sometimes sharp comments about … Continue reading Coming Soon: “Starship Creation in STO” Q&A Series with Thomas Marrone + Starship Giveaway Contest

Unfortunately, as it is now, there… Continue reading Customization & Tailor restrictions in STO – Role-Player’s perspective
