SWOTR,awesome single player game, wrapped in a lack luster massive multiplayer shell. Its almost like the old Atari days of STO, they have no real clue how to run an mmo.


It being single player friendly is EXACTLY why it is one of my favorites. I work three jobs, and as such it is impossible for me to team up with people at times. STO, CoH/CoV, and SWTOR were the first games I could get to max level, alone and by myself, without having to sit there, alone, spamming general hoping someone was available to help me through some part of the game.

Okay - Seriously... I thought the days of this kinda crappy (Val Kilmer/George Clooney)representation of the beloved Dark Knight was over.. Bat Nipples... The less said about that the better. I'm not just scared, I'm about to downright give up on DC ever making a decent hero movie.. Recent Batman movies excluded of course. Stick to making great cartoon features IE JL Doom, DK Returns/ DK Strikes Again, Batman The Red Hood, GL First Flight, Flashpoint... So many to choose from.. Just stay the hell out of the movie business and you might, and I repeat, MIGHT get some of my respect back. Venting done... Go back to your lives.

Re: Question

Don't feel stupid, it can be difficult to find some information as there is so much on the website. Our SWTOR guilds are on The Harbinger server, it's a west coast PVE server. You can now transfer your toons to a new server and won't lose any of your legacy perks. :cheer: Although, I am not exactly sure how the legacy system works if you only transfer one toon or part of your legacy to a new server. Not sure, the legacy goes with them or if you would have to start over and the remaining toons on the old server would keep your current legacy. I suspect that's what would happen so you'd have to transfer all the toons from the old server to the new in order to continue with your current legacy. Rather crappy outcome but a similar problem was holding up the transfer process, the devs didn't want anyone getting credit for achievements twice. God forbid should their couple of Cartel Coin reward for certain achievements be awarded more than once when someone decided to transfer a toon and already had the achievement on one server but would immediately get credit again as soon as they logged in to their new server.

If you decide to transfer your toons, just send me a PM (private message) to let me know the names of your toon(s) and their faction, and a time period you usually log on to play. I will make sure to log in during that time frame and send you invites. We can get any and all toons invited at the same time or do it individually, whichever works best for you. Just let me know. (and honest, I am not laughing at all, there's nothing wrong with wanting to switch guilds). :) I will warn you though, sometimes it's rather quiet since most of our members are also Stonewall Fleet members and are often playing STO instead of SWTOR. :whistle: (Not me though... ;) )

Question

August 23 2013
I am willing to bet money the answer is in so obvious a spot I will feel stupid for a month

but...

What server is our SW:TOR guilds on? I have 6 max level characters on an RP server and was just wondering. I am thinking of raising a new character from birth but am worried about losing my legacy level (which is really high and I have all legacy buffs) if I switch to a new server, but I am kind of meh about my old gay RP guild (stop laughing).

ESD (Part 2 of Captive Captain)
We arrived at ESD. I had been having a go at some Romulan Ale that Rufus kept aboard. Sitting in the officers mess, pretty much drunk Rufus enters with a guest.

"Aden...this is Captain Kiska Keston, also known as the Doctor. I have asked him to come evaluate you as I don't believe you are fit for command." Stated Rufus quietly.

I turned to look at them both. Keston was a handsome Bajoran seemingly calm in nature as opposed to Rufus who while also very handsome was a bit more edgy. This could prove to be a very rough attraction. I noticed Keston scanning me, not even trying to hide it. I swiped at the medical tricorder as I stood up. I missed it of course. I straightened my uniform and strode out of the mess hall and headed towards my quarters. I was not about to be examined by anyone and was particularly displeased with 'Captain Fitzroy' for even suggesting such a thing. I was very unhappy with the loss of the Belfast and knew that my career was effectively in the toilet. I needed a break from Starfleet. I thought I would resign my commission and return to my birthplace. With London just a quick transport away I could maintain the family home and visit the big city, daily if I so chose. I entered my quarters and started looking for transport containers. The door chimed and I knew who it was, or so I thought. "Come" I shouted at the door. "Bastion?"

He walked across the room toward me and reached for my hand. With my full trust I reached out and accepted his hand. He pulled me close and at the same time administered a hypo knocking me unconscious.

I woke to the sound of clanging, like someone banging a spanner on a plasma conduit. It was dark and I could not see my surroundings very well at all. My hands were tied behind my back. The clanging noise was nearby. I managed to get to my feet and loose my hands. Someone wasn't a very good knot tier. There was an odd smell about. Kind of musky. I strained to find any type of pathway and stumbled over a body. I got closer to see if I could identify who it was then a light flickered and I saw him. It was Bastion. I quickly felt for a pulse. He was dead.


Meanwhile on the Ruane...
"Unauthorized transport in progress" the computer repeated over and over.

"Bridge!" Called out Capt. Fitzroy. "Status!"

"Captain, I found something..." Keston was interrupted by the comm officer.

"Transport Beam just took Captain Brighton and his First, Bastion" stated the comm officer.

"Trace it..." Rufus was cut off...

"Sir a ship just departed ESD at Warp. Bio scan was ineffective prior to warp out." stated the comm officer. "Transport signature coordinates indicate that Brighton and and Bastion were aboard."

"Find that ship, Fitzroy out." Rufus commanded and motioned the Doctor to follow him. They walked a short distance to the Captains quarters. It was modestly decorated with the essentials.

Keston explained that he had found traces of poison in Aden's scan. Not toxic but enough to cause some deterioration in portions of the Vulcan's brain and if they could find him in time they would be able to undo the damage caused. The Ruane departed in an attempt to catch up with the ship. The ship had been identified and the Ruane was dialed in to it's warp signature. They were behind but they would catch the ship.


I suddenly remembered what had happened on the Ruane. That Bastion, my long time friend had drugged me and here I was. The lights came on. I could now see that Bastion had disruptor burns and that had been how he died. I looked around and found an open doorway and went to it. The clanging had stopped and by the feel of vibrations of the ship we were at warp...

Python Help

August 22 2013
Hey all, I am in serious need of help, I am failing my first class since I took Algebra 2 in the 7th Grade.

I am a complete programming idiot and I am desperately needing help with my 2 python programming finals.

This is the first:
For this assignment you will re-work your simple simple contact manager application. This application will track personal information about the user's friends and acquaintances. The user will be able to enter information for new contacts and also lookup information for a contact.

For this assignment you will create a simple class hierarchy. You will create an inheritance relationship between two classes -- a Friend class and a Person class - Friend will inherit Person.

Your Person class will have the following attributes:
first_name
last_name
phone_number
Your Friend
email
birth_date

Both your Person class and your Friend class will have a get_info method.
For the Person class, the get_info method will return a string with the full name and phone number of the person.

For the Friend class, the get_info method will return a string with the full name, phone number, email address, and birth date.

The application will present a main menu to the user that will allow the user to add a contact, lookup a contact by name, or exit the application.

When the user chooses to add a contact, the application will ask the user if they want to add a regular person or a friend. If the user wants to add a new regular person contact then the application will ask for the first name, last, name and phone number for that person. If the user wants to add a new friend contact then the application will ask the user for the first name, last name, phone number, email address, and birth date.

When the user chooses to lookup a contact by name, the application will ask the user for the last name, and then the application will display the full information for all contacts with that last name.

(Attached is a code that took me 4 days to do)

the second is also based on the code

The names of all contacts (Last, First) should be displayed in the Contact listbox.

When a name is selected, and the "Display Contact" button is pressed, the full contact information (Full name, phone number for 'person', add email and b-day for 'friend') should be displayed in the "Result" Label. If no person is selected, the button should not do anything.

When a Last name is entered in the "Last Name" box, and the Search button is pressed, the program should find the contact with that last name and display the full contact information in the Result label. If no name is found, "Not found" should be displayed in the Result label.

To add a new contact, the user should fill out at least First Name, Last Name, and Phone #. If the new contact is a friend, the Friend checkbox should be checked, and email and birthday should be included. After this information is added, when the user clicks the "Add Contact" button a new contact is added to the contact list. After the Add Contact Button is pressed, the new contact entry fields should be cleared by the program.

BONUS: 10 extra credit points if you add a "Remove" button that removes selected contacts from the contact list.

I'll just put this out there, first person to really help me out gets 20 Lockbox keys (25 if you get me the bonus points) LOL

I know there's some programming gurus out there and if any one can help I'd greatly appreciate it

doesn't a rainbow build capture more of the flavoured procs, u can always use the generic beam weapon console to boost them all. the price to pay is the weapon power drain i guess but it sure is bootiful!


So far, I haven't personally witnessed a rainbow build that can pull its weight in an elite STF. That doesn't mean that no such build exists, just that I haven't seen one and pretty much all the veteran players I've spoken to advise against it.
If your DPS isn't your main concern, have at, but you will be far less effective than you would be running a single energy type. Going into an elite STF with a rainbow build is like going to the Corrida de Toros in Pamplona while wearing Lady Gaga's lobster shoes. Sure, you MAY be skilled enough to use those heels to keep the bulls from goring you... but I sure ain't, haha.
