I thought patches were moved to Tuesdays? Or at least it seemed that way. These past few weeks, it’s felt like it’s always both Tuesday AND Thursday.

On one hand, I’m glad the new crew is addressing issues quickly. On the other hand, it’d be nice to have a couple days without a maintenance window.

It was quite a full episode. Lots of content. It started slow (and a bit childish), then quickly turned

I enjoyed it, as far as addressing one of my least favorite arcs. So, glad in two ways that it dropped.

Also, yeah… that room was creepy, IMO.

If it’s in the post, it might be the only one they’ll do. Then again, that won’t exactly “remind” the console crew. :/

Aye! For me, I have two keys I toggle back-and-forth through most of the engagement. One keybind is set for all my attack powers in a specific order, then all of my heals/buffs in a specific order. I press one, then press the other, then the first, then the second, again and again.

I also have “spacebar” for attacks, but those are my trigger finger powers for specific “shots”.

Seems so. I don’t envy the ancient code they must have to comb through for new/better things, but at the same time I’d really like to see better use of Tribble as a test server before patches are pushed to Production.

(As an aside, I really appreciate the way Fero has been making the important text bold. Makes my little summary copy-paste so much easier.)

True, but isn’t it kind of a fun trope for the game at this point? Perhaps even a trope for the shows?

Hopefully they’ll work the update into a story. It’d be nice to have more narrative to changes within the game, as the new team takes over.

I second many of your points. And, also…

“the purple D”

Had me immediately thinking, “Well, STO vanity shields are canon now, I guess.”

The intent behind my original reply was to complain and hope for a change in how dark recent Trek shows have been, except SNW. I know we all have our favorites; I’m just not at all a fan of this trend of the bad guys being cool in Star Trek. Again, in Star Trek. The casts, the acting, the production are all great and I’m glad more Trek exists; I, personally, just wish it was a bit more shiny.

Do I want those shows not to exist in the first place? No. I just don’t rewatch them like I do others, thus I don’t care to make pumpkins about starring characters who are not the characters I’d want in humanity’s future.

That’s great! My original en-edited reply congratulated you, but then I thought, “This is the internet. Burrito Trucks can’t carve pumpkins…” LOL

My favorite is the Mugato.

Fair point and well done (to the artists)!!

How about we carve a Spock or Picard or Mariner or really anyone else who isn’t a genocidal dictator? Hmm? Maybe?

No? Perhaps my dream for Star Trek has too much hope for humanity’s future? Not enough grit, tears, and flashy booms?

Agreed. I would have loved to have that kind of callback to the story.

That was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for providing the links to the various segments!

Fair point! I think you’re spot on with the quality of the episodes (as game pieces) themselves. Story, meh, but game design/graphics, wow!

We’ll see what happens. As the famous trombone player said, “Fate protects fools, little children, and ships named Enterprise.”

Well said. And it’s been an enjoyable journey throughout.

Some of the stories have been lackluster here and there, but that in itself is Star Trek. Not every show/game/story is going to be for everyone, yet beautifully all are welcome as trekkers/trekkies.
