Re: How to fly faster - Diplomatic Immunity
Although a purple does it at 200% a blue is 150% and a lot lot cheaper! I suggest blue as there are other things you can do to decrease the time alongside that which makes getting a purple a bit pointless for the cost difference :)
Completing a full tour gives you an accolade with a decrease in the cooldown so along with the blue doff you would achieve the same reduction :)

Re: How to fly faster - Diplomatic Immunity
Thanks for the hint with the DOff, I have to check if I have one like that.
I just reached T4 in Omega, so I'm getting closer to my new engine :D
A [Astrometrics Scientist] will decrease your transwarp cool down by 200%. I keep one active cause it makes moving about so much quicker with Diplomacy Tier 4. :)

Re: Kate Mulgrew is a flat earther? Dafuh?
See, I'm thinking it's more likely that someone, whether it be her agent or the producer, may have given the false impression that the vo was for something like a video game, or Z-list SyFy Sharknado-grade schlock.
If Katy's missive is to be taken at face value, which I'm willing to grant.
The real question now is what hooker's gonna have the stones to ask her about it at her next con appearance.
:evil:

Re: Kate Mulgrew is a flat earther? Dafuh?
Well lets take into account one thing, She's a theater performer. She didn't start on TV or in Movies, she started on Broadway. The one thing every single Broadway performer is told is: Don't turn down any work if you can do it. So it doesn't surprise me she did it and she didn't turn it down. a Trailer VO is probably [strike]1-2 hours[/strike] 30-45 Mins tops (Just saw the trailer) and her name gave her a hefty paycheck. Can't blame her for doing it.

Defiance MMO (Based on the TV series, and a really fun game!)
I saw a sale on Steam for it a week or so ago and watched the little video clip for it and fell in love. Still a sceptic, I watched a few gameplay videos and made up my mind to get it and it is my new favourite game.
It is a buy to play game (about $10 on steam with the season pass going for as low as $13 on some sites) that combines so many of my favourite gaming elements, open world sandbox gameplay, third person shooter style gameplay (or sword slasher if you're more fond of that), MMORPG feel and cutscenes, purely aesthetic armour / outfits because there is no armour item only shields, post apocalyptic environment that comes fairly close to capturing what I felt in Fallout 3, and lots of fun vehicle types that you can get (many you can get right in the beginning, because it's a big place.)
And yes, you CAN get a Dodge Challenger like you see in the video. :3
And if anyone wants to pick up the game on PC, please let me send you an invite. If I get 5 people to play, I get a pickemup truck. ^.^

Re: Kate Mulgrew is a flat earther? Dafuh?
Maybe Kate heard the collective facepalming heard 'round the intertubes.
Gosh knows I'm not one to begrudge a girl earnin' her dolladolla billz.
But at some point in the recording booth, surely one must actually notice the content of the words coming out of one's mouth...
Shortly after, there was a reply to her statement:
Trek Initiative
Figured as much, but thank you Kate Mulgrew for taking the time to respond to this situation. First thought was hoax, but misrepresentation is even worse.
Anxiously awaiting your performance in the new season of Orange Is the New Black...

"I understand there has been some controversy about my participation in a documentary called THE PRINCIPLE. Let me assure everyone that I completely agree with with the eminent physicist Lawrence Krauss, who was himself misrepresented in the film, and who has written a succinct rebuttal in SLATE. I am not a geocentrist, nor am I in any way a proponent of geocentrism. More importantly, I do not subscribe to anything Robert Sungenis has written regarding science and history and, had I known of his involvement, would most certainly have avoided this documentary. I was a voice for hire, and a misinformed one, at that. I apologize for any confusion that my voice on this trailer may have caused. Kate Mulgrew"

Re: Kate Mulgrew is a flat earther? Dafuh?
I Dunno...if offered the opportunity to take money from a quack like this guy, I'd do it, then do exactly what she did and shoot the loser down publicly. Less money in the crazy's pockets, more in mine, and an opportunity to appeal to a fan base about how crazy the person was who paid me seems like a win all around. After all, anyone who is enough of a fan to be possibly swayed into watching it because of her being involved, would likely find out (just like we did here from you folks posting) that she effectively advises against it - so he & the film will likely not benefit from her "star power" as much as he might have thought.

Re: How Has Star Trek Impacted You?
Basically Star Trek started me into the technology world. I never really got the true hidden messages that we all know and see clearly today. I was more interested in the geeky side of Trek. Not so much TOS but more so TNG and then VOY. These shows were all on during a time of my life crisis and what was I and who was I so I didn't put much thought into the messages the shows portrayed. My mind was so cluttered with what was right and what was wrong that by the time I figured out myself I was starting to see it more clearly in reruns of the series. I am still finding little nuggets inside the shows as I rewatch them over and over.
Star Trek is still an influence on me as time goes on.
Yeah! It's really interesting how Trek can influence one's career choices and ethical decisions in life. Everytime I rewatch an episode, I always find something new I did not catch before. :) *huge hugs*

Re: WildStar Online
I'd be up for being part of a Stonewall guild, it's been hard to drum up interest from my old WoW guildies. Presumably most of you are US based though?
I've been playing the last few beta weekends of Wildstar, loving it. I'm intending to play Dominion side, medic/spellslinger/engineer. Can't decide between them.

Re: How Has Star Trek Impacted You?
Of course I didn´t realize at this time - as a child - that there was a hidden message behind (Lt Uhura: a 1. afroamerican AND 2. woman doing a very important job! OMG!) and that this message was important.
As I advanced in age (still watching Star Trek) the messages came through which are: "We all are equal! Don´t be afraid to face the unknown, rather be interested and have an open mind!" And I recognized the importance.
Yes, I think that Star Trek has impacted me... but this wouldn´t have been possible if my open minded family wouldn´t have allowed me to watch it^^
My family (i was raised by my grandparents) never gave me the feeling that a girl is less valuable than a boy or told me that girls HAVE to play with dolls - hey, i got a model railway for christmas as I was 5 or 6! - but this sight of things was rare in the late 70th respectively early 80th, so I´m very grateful.
I still watch Star Trek over i-net, preferably Voyager (and I´m sure most of you have figured out by now that I´m a Voyager and Janeway fan, lol) and I´m still impressed. And that´s why I play Star Trek Online. I love it!^^
ST: Voyager was the first Star Trek series that truly got me hooked into Star Trek. I totally love how Star Trek in general has influenced people to be more open-minded and accepting. ^^ *big hugs*
