Startrek.com has had a couple of articles this week about the actor who played the science officer. He's cybernetically augmented, but not an android. The actor was miffed that they didn't let him wear tighter shirts to show off his physique.

Re: Need/Greed Guidelines on Loot

June 12 2013
Thanks for bringing this up Keston, the loot options is one of those things that if a guideline isn't set per match, general courtesy can sometimes be overlooked.

In my opinion, greed should be the usual fault selection with fleet groups. A simple reminder in match chat prior to starting a run may suffice. Some PUGs are good with it, some aren't.

The selection may then have to be altered to need if there seems to be a break in communication. Simply advise the team in team chat if this is the case.
With the release of the expansion and with all the new characters having been created, everyone needs to build up their EC inventory and preferred item pick-ups, if you happen to be in a situation where you really need more pick-ups than usual, discuss it with the group prior to needing everything without consensus. This may help prevent hard feelings or further misunderstandings.

I agree that greeding items by default, is the courteous thing to do when teaming with members of the fleet where no loot policy has been established before the commencement of the run.

As Aztroz has suggested, it's also a good idea to come to an agreement amongst yourselves as to how your group will be handling loot drops before launching each mission, thereby hopefully preventing any hard feelings.

Happy trekking and looting all!

Need/Greed Guidelines on Loot

June 12 2013
It has been brought to my attention that some people are "needing" instead of "greeding" in STFs and other fleet events. When one "needs" an item, it takes priority over all "greed" rolls and effectively shuts out everybody who clicked "greed". If two or more people click "need", it's decided by a random roll.

The guideline for need/greed on fleet events is to always use greed unless you really need the item for your character. Out of respect for my team, I will always mention when/what I need when I do click need. For instance, the Omega Reputation System has destroyed my supply of large hyposprays on my Reman. So, I will say, "I will be needing on Cordrazine, and greeding on everything else." before the game begins. This way, there's no unexpected surprises when this happens. Constantly clicking "need" is viewed as selfish and shouldn't be done in 100% Stonewall Groups. In sum, here are four easy guidelines I follow:

  1. Always remind the group to greed on items.
  2. By default, greed with Stonewall groups.
  3. If there's one or more pug, need.
  4. When needing during a Stonewall group, announce what you will be needing on beforehand.


Following this advice should ensure the fairness for all involved and give us all a level playing field to acquire loot. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns by replying to this post or approaching me privately.

Yup, posted about this about a month ago:http://fleet.stonewallgaming.net/forums/entertainment/60471-starship-of-the-month-club

It's $20 per ship, which comes twice a month, so basically $40 per month for two ships. In order to get the Galaxy X, the Borg cube, and the dedication plaque, you have to subscribe to it.

Check the other thread where I linked to an article at memory alpha that shows some of the history in the UK and a list that's supposed to be semi official of all ~70 ships.

Disney, while conservative, is one of the most LGBT friendly companies around. This whole mess with the SGRA is fully on the shoulders of EA. As for the game? Lots of plusses for the product, but the team really has not done a good job of public relations or customer service.

I agree Ras, while it is disappointing it's only a minor delay. Ultimately it's EA's awful attitude toward its customers that has made TOR less than what it should be but despite it all its a game that many people still enjoy playing. When it comes to what does and doesn't get released it probably has more to do with the corporate "bottom-line" end of things than it does with the Devs who toil thanklessly and bear the brunt of the player base's wrath.

SW:TOR is not a failure nor a disaster. It isn't perfect. No game or software ever is, but I feel that TOR is one of the most stable and well-developed PC games out there.

Consider the amount of Story content and fully-voiced and animated mission architecture that drives it, not to mention that you can team up with anyone to play any mission for social points, etc. It's designed for social gameplay, is it not?

To have all that at launch with minimal bugs with a vast item table, among other MMO elements), to me was very impressive for first-time launch. That sure as hell was NOT the case when STO launched.

Let's keep things in perspective, here. So the character transfer service blew up on the launch of a patch. Big deal. Just let them fix it and they will deliver, just like the did with re-customization. As for the same-sex romance, I think that is something beyond BioWare's immediate power to influence now that LucasArts is toast and Disney has their hand in the pot. Politics, bro. It sucks, but it is what it is. I don't blame development for it, their hands are tied.

Nonetheless it's still a great game. I appreciate it for what it delivers, and the potential it shows.

I dont see what the problem is, they found an almost game ruining bug, i know how some people are about achievements. They had a choice delay the content release so that character transfer stays with 2.2 or just delay the character transfer.
What they did seems entirely reasonable to me.

Re: Terrible Voice Acting

I think Denise Crosby did a good job, given the script and the direction (judging from how much worse some other characters are). Additionally, the really limited gestures of the character models don't help. The voices seems out of place with what the characters are doing.

Oh, hey, I found the Neverwinter thread! Yay!

Now, seeing as there's no Stonewall Guardians section in the forums, how would I go about getting invited to this guild?
