Overdue Review: Hands on with the T6 Daemosh Na’Kuhl Science vessel 4/5 Stars

wRrrrr-wRrrrr-wRrrrr-ZRrrrr-wRrrrr-wRrrrr-wRrrrr-ZRrrrr Normally we don’t get player versions of an opponent ships until later in that season, or not until after the current story arc runs it’s course. Anecdotally it seems like we’re getting them sooner each season. The Na’Kuhl are a temporal adversary after all, so in theory at least they could have shown up at any time 😉 My first impressions with the Na’khul … Continue reading Overdue Review: Hands on with the T6 Daemosh Na’Kuhl Science vessel 4/5 Stars

Guest Blogger: Only Six Missions – TOS Character: Faction or Fraction?

Lootcritter here:  Part Two of SirBoulevard’s opinion discussion on the state of the game with Agents of Yesterday.  Enjoy! SirBoulevard is back to offer his opinion on the matter.  What started as a ten-page explosion of consciousness has evolved as we find out more, and we’ve decided to offer his views in bite sized  chunks 😉 SirBoulevard is a prolific foundry author, co-leader of the E.W.O.C. … Continue reading Guest Blogger: Only Six Missions – TOS Character: Faction or Fraction?

Guest Blogger Hera: The Photon and Proton Science Pilot Escort Build

Lootcritter here: Hera offered to provide a kinetic build example after a few conversations about her success with it.  I’ve had requests for build advice, and while i’m happy with what I can do, offering a look at how others reach their goals  gives me an opportunity to learn as well.   In the coming months I will be offering other builds specifically for new players getting into Star Trek … Continue reading Guest Blogger Hera: The Photon and Proton Science Pilot Escort Build

Guest Blogger: “Only Six Missions” – Faction Parity, Disgruntled Fans, Lost Direction, and Years of Built of Tension

Lootcritter here:  I have my own feelings about the amount of content poised for release with Agents of Yesterday.  As information drips slowly out for us to dissect, rearrange, speculate and then vivisect (yes, a dead horse reference) – the STO fandom in general is both confused and concerned, and for some super happy at the thought of a TOS expansion.   What I do … Continue reading Guest Blogger: “Only Six Missions” – Faction Parity, Disgruntled Fans, Lost Direction, and Years of Built of Tension

Fair Warning: Event Ships Currency & Exclusivity Changes Inbound

With the Summer Risian Event just a few weeks away, and the Crystalline Entity almost complete – Star Trek Online has updated the currency options for major (ship) prizes.  The changes are not a nerf, but contain both a decent compromise and an unfortunate change.  Here’s a summary of the changes to the currencies that impact ship rewards: Event ship rewards are no longer ‘exclusive’.   Previously before … Continue reading Fair Warning: Event Ships Currency & Exclusivity Changes Inbound

Confirmation about AoY content from a reliable source

“The Future is the past.  The past is the future.  It all gives me a headache.” – Capt. Janeway So does the belief that episodes have to occur one after the other; three leads to four, four to five, and six ends up on ESD in the 24 25th century.  The last 24 hours has been a headache with many Star Trek Online enthusiast’s wondering … Continue reading Confirmation about AoY content from a reliable source

Timberwolf Interviews Salami Inferno

Lootcritter here: I’ve just finished the 3rd and 4th episodes of Agents of Yesterday and I half to say the content is far more crazy than I originally imagined.  It’s ridiculously immersive, well written and if you’re a fan of TOS and [REDACTED], this is what leveling should have been from the start.  More on that once AoY goes live. In the meantime, Timberwolf has scored an interview with Stephen Ricossa  (Salami Inferno) … Continue reading Timberwolf Interviews Salami Inferno

Rant: On ‘best’ Star Trek & choices

Originally posted on Captain Jan's Musings:
Here’s almost taboo question among Star Trek fans, that is, unless you want to incite flames – Best Star Trek, what is Trek and what is not? A heated discussion among the Star Trek fans, whenever this even pops up. It’s as if you said to a Klingon that his mother’s forehead was smooth. That kind of bad.… Continue reading Rant: On ‘best’ Star Trek & choices

Guest Blogger Timberwolf: Wells Class Temporal Science Vessel Review

Lootcritter here: It’s been a hell of week, full of surprises. The announcement that Star Trek Online is coming to consoles took us all by surprise, generating as much hoopla as one would expect while leaving many of us with unanswered questions.   In the meantime, Timberwolf has branched out yet again with another review – this time with the Wells Class Temporal ship.  The Wells was my first experience in … Continue reading Guest Blogger Timberwolf: Wells Class Temporal Science Vessel Review
