Jungle Hide 'n Seek!
Congratulations to Dilen Archer, Valxocia, Bogae and Robert as well as all of the rest of our Hide 'n Seek participants for following the clues to find five of us hidden around the Risan islands! This was a fun and light-hearted event the hard fought battle of the Amazing Race that preceded this event!

Jungle Bingo!
A huge congratulations to Sej and Metatron for winning the Jungle Bingo event! We handed out Risan themed bingo cards, filled with all sorts of Trek and Risan related icons in each bingo sheet square. We then called out clues for the items on the sheet until two of our members filled their entire bingo cards, and numerous other members completed other winning combinations! We gave out participation prizes to everyone, but Sej walked away with a Wells class temporal ship and Metatron a Hirogen escort for their win that evening!

Late Night Luau and Cutest Couples Contest!
Our last contest of the night was the Cutest Couples contest! After we retreated to a quiet area of Risa, we livened it up with disco balls, party poppers and listened to the relaxing tunes of Radio Risa. We were happy to announce GXV3 and KnightChucky as the winners of the cutest couples contest!
Thanks very much too all who joined us for the Bash at the Beach event and to everyone who came out to help us run those events for the fleet! It was a fun day with great events for all who came out to help us run the events for the fleet!
Nowhere but Stonewall will you get fleet events and prizes like these, so be sure to join us throughout the year for additional fleet events, and enjoy what our amazing fleet and this terrific community has to offer!

Oh lord. It's as if everyone (here, official forums, reddit) has forgotten how the current system works.
Under the new system, Mk XI costs one component that will cost 5k. Mk XII costs one 5k component and one 15k component. That seems to be currently regardless of type: beam array, shield, pulsewave rifle, flow capacitor. I should note that Mk Xs do not currently have any dilithium cost.
Under the current system, Mk IX weapons cost 5 Uncommon Unreplicables and Mk XIs cost 15 - at which were 1,000 dil a pop. Hell, Mk XI shields cost 31 Uncommons, and 75 Commons on top of that (10 dil each, but it adds up).
Yes, a crafter could buy the Unreplicable Mats on the Exchange. From what I understand, though, the components that cost dilithium? They can be put on the Exchange, too.
The actual dilithium sink will be if the crafter is completely impatient and wants to rush completion on non-component crafting. (I have no sympathy for rushers, so that's falling on deaf ears.)
Yep, the new system costs dilithium. But it always did.

I saw the new crafting system on tribble... O.O dear gods the dil cost on them 20k on some... I think there will be a riot in the game if those prices stay like that. And it didn't look like it was a for sure thing on getting great quality of the gear, chance percentage.... I still have to go over it more to learn all of the new system but sofar.... its just wrong.

Re:Swordsman Closed Beta
Woo! :D
I'm really loving Zephyr style and the detail on the mount system. I also love how when I autopilot to a waypoint or quest objective, if it's a long way, my horse runs up beside me and I swing onto its back! :D And when I want to turn my horse, my toon pulls the reigns to that side. :D
So far my favourite costume is the one with which I started. The Zephyr and Harmony school outfits are a tad too ornate for me. >.

Penny Dreadful
1) Finally! Someone followed through with my League of Extraordinary American Horror Story pitch.
2) Penny Dreadful really is the first project that's taken advantage of Eva Green's casual-goth intensity.
3) I don't mind Reeve Carney's vapid 21st century Keanu Reeves vibe. It's kind of perfect for the role. Also, that twink sure is pretty to look at.
4) Timothy Dalton's last appearance in Dr. Who was not attractive. I think it was all the spitting. Upgrade.

LOL well after seeing this I googled it cause I was like WTF. Turn out they've released the first episode ahead of time on their website, sadly I haven't had time to watch it so I'm thinking I'll just wait for the live broadcast :)

Re: Semil: Agent of the Empire
Chapter XXII: Taking Survey
The lower part of the mine was decidedly more labyrinthine than they had encountered in the upper portion, significantly slowing their search progress. K'vot scouted on ahead, with his better eyesight, his palm beacon illuminating the passage. Semil trailed behind, eyes affixed to his tricorder, dependent on the limited range of the readings with his poor eyesight.
"There's going to be another three-way junction up ahead. Go left."
"And you expect me to believe you're not directing us in circles?"
"Left, I said." Semil was firm, despite his resolve beginning to waver in the cold, damp, tiredness. He had been using the tricorder to make an ad hoc map as they went, but did not feel like explaining himself or the basic common sense of this measure to K'vot.
Not prioritizing the time, he estimated it might already be daybreak on the surface. He imagined that an unengineered species might even be feeling some pangs of hunger after the hours they had spent in the mine, slightly increasing his respect for the Colonel.
Their left turn made, Semil's tricorder beeped and buzzed, the Vorta working to make sense of the readings.
"You have something?"
"I'm not sure." Semil twiddled several controls on the interface. "The turbidium concentrations here are quite high. It's hard to be certain..." Semil paused. "It could be a power source. Weak. Just a few meters down." The Vorta pointed along the direction of their path.
Semil scurried to keep up, as K'vot trodded ahead, wielding his own tricorder to get a fix.
He finally caught up to the Klingon, crouched beside an old antigrav palette, slumped to the side of the mineshaft, teetering on the side of a boulder, its powercells long since corroded to dust.
"This... is not as old as the rest of the mine."
As K'vot inspected the antigrav, Semil cast his palm beacon around the cavern. There was no obvious cargo for the palette next to it, making it odd that it had been discarded in such a fashion. Maybe...
The crates tumbled onto their sides down the hallway caught Semil's eyes immediately. The Vorta rushed over, stubbing his toe on an unseen outcropping. He paid the slight flash of surprising pain no mind, he was so intent on his target.
K'vot looked up to notice the Vorta's attention had been duly taken, and slowly made his way over to join Semil, who was crouched down, prying open the crates.
In the first, a random assortment of small equipment spilled out onto the cavern floor, as the cratelid gave way. The second yielded similar junk.
Semil gave a frustrated grunt, which surprised K'vot. In all his dealings with the Vorta, watching over him, monitoring him, now working with him - K'vot noted in Semil the careful, deliberately shielded countenance of his people. It was uncommn, if not rare - to see Semil express an honest emotion, even as briefly as this.
Semil resumed scanning the cave floor with his palm beacon, not content to give up.
A third crate lay further along the mineshaft corridor. Upright, but obscured by dust and rock - a partial collapse of the wall, perhaps. The Vorta shuffled over to it, in undisguised excitement, with perhaps insufficient regard to safety and caution, K'vot noted.
Clearing away the dust and gravel from its surface, Semil beheld the otherwise indescript crate with a brief pause. K'vot couldn't tell whether he was fabricating the drama of the moment, when Semil cautiously undid the fasteners and opened the lid.
Inside, rows of canisters were tightly packed upright. Several deep perhaps. A considerable fraction were dark and unlit, randomly peppered among others with still blinking lights. "Their battery capacity is rated to several decades. It's a marvel as many of them have stayed operational without the master cryonic unit."
With that, K'vot immediately understood that their mission had finally succeeded. "How many are still working?"
Taking survey, Semil found his mind unable to do the basic arithmetic. "Enough."

Re:Swordsman Closed Beta
OMG I love this game so much. (so far :3 )
I gave a friend of mine those links with the key giveaways and he joined me and is enjoying it, as well. :D
Whoops, forgot it's closed beta and can't remember if there's an NDA, was about to start blathering about the game.

TNT actually released it. Well the first 5 minutes. I found the whole episode somewhere else though. :-P And I will be quiet :-X

I've tried to watch it on two occasions and on both of those occasions I've ended up falling asleep.
Now it's not entirely a reflection on the quality of the TV Show and maybe more on my decision to watch it late at night but honestly the show is sloooooowwww. I'm only about 4 episodes in and I do plan to keep watching it because I should love it, the tone of the show is perfect for my tastes (It's dark, it's for adults) and the story seems like it could become really interesting.
....
Also Josh Hartnett's buttocks. :blush:

They look nice. Wish they'd go back and add stuff like this to the Doff Commendations.
They have updated minor portions of the DoFF mission layout, leading me to think that a complete revamp of the DoFF system may be in the works. Maybe even bringing it to Gateway (now that the missions will be needed in the crafting sphere)
