B'Elanna tries to observe the Klingon Day of Honor after the warp core is lost.

Enjoy!

Lace thank you for this excellent post! You never know if it may exist somewhere else but it's always nice to have a fresh post like this because no one wants to dig around these endless forums. Thanks again for this wonderful contribution!

I am a new member to this guild and I may be overlooking a more comprehensive post and if so please point me so I dont muss up again .... however i want to share a link to what I been using to help me get my presence up on various toons.

The link is Companion Gifts (understand the display)

While many know of swtor spy .. what you need to understand in looking at this when drilling down into a particular companion is light and dark side matter alot. Like with Ashara, if you are dark side; the like love in the first reference seems to be for dark sided folks and the second column seems to be for light sided minded folks .. AKA very hard to please if you are dark! (not sure this is true for all their documentation but you will notice when giving gifts)

There are some other guides that don't take into consideration light and dark and that can mean different things depending on how you are playing your toon etc.

If you are just looking for a quick reference and willing to forgo the idea of dark and light sided toons for either empire or republic .... this one might work for you ... I have kinda made a copy of this then sorted by toon type as I start to play these toons and unlock the companions.

Companion Guide not broken out by Light and Dark but general guide

Gift giving wasnt on my priority list my first toon to 50 and not saying it should be on yours .. but it does unlock story content, items and help your presence which may be useful in dailies even at level 50. I may be blowing cash sending my gatherers out for gifts, but I do enjoy the storyline each comrade is starting to offer.

Another thing to keep in mind is diminishing returns; if your affection is say level 4 (aka 8k or so) dont waste giving them level 1-2 stuff ... 3 if you have to but try to give them level 4 or better .. think of it as a 10k breakdown so level 1 only to those less than 2k ... level 2 to those less than 4k etc. I learned this the hard way a bit so would save you that which I didn't know till I did more looking about.

Hope this helps some folks.

Thanks everyone! It was a great race and everyone was terrific! :)

We should definitively do it again sometime.

Kes' mental abilities develop to a point where they endanger Voyager.

Enjoy!

I've got a level 28 sith assassin (Marian), DPS-specced. I have classes in the mornings but I'm usually free in the afternoon and evening (pacific time) most days of the week. I'm totally down for whatever, so if I'm available you can probably count me in.

GREAT NEWS! I have been looking forward to some guild events (FPs, Heroics, War Zones whatever). My play time varies, but I can be on anytime Monday-Thursday between 4pm-10pm and Friday - Sunday 8am -12midnight (Pacific Time). I currently have a level 28 Assassin and 30 Sorcerer.

Episode 7 is up for download / streaming from iTunes or http://Tor-junkie.com/

EPISODE 7: Everybody hates Dustin

Your hosts sit down to talk about game over refreshments. Well most of us, Dustin is dry yet again. News discussed today includes the Valentine’s Day patch, Drew Karpyshyn’s departure, Need Vs Greed changes, Bioware’s latest blunder, and this weeks Developer Q&A.

Up next the boys talk about sandbox features that the Devs could easily add to the game that would give players endless hours of entertainment. Lets face it, dailies get boring after the 30th time running through them. Dustin gets all Diva on us and up and leaves in the middle of the show. Next up Tristin and Angel get in another fight, this time it deals with darkside options and Empire Vs Republic. One of these is EZ mode according to Tristin, Angel disagrees. Our email box is simply overflowing with Dustin hate, justified? A shout out to Pinkside and then we remind our loyal listeners about this months contest and we close the show out with a song from the one and only Richie Branson.

Remember, if you'd like to enter the contest to win the 2 free months of game time, there are several ways to do so: You can follow us on twitter or facebook, you can leave a comment on iTunes (and then email us to let us know you've left a comment so we know who you are), you can reply on our blog, send us an email; any way that you'd like to contact us with love, hate or indifference (Though I'm not sure if tristin would count contact, here. :p ) gets you entered into the contest to win the free game subscription time. :)

Janeway and Tuvok work with the Borg and meet Seven of Nine as they work on developing a weapon against Species 8472 in exchange for safe passage through Borg space.

Enjoy!

I'm a fan of footie, as well.

Though my boys at Millwall just lost to the Bolton Wanderers, which makes me a sad panda. :(

Episode 528 - Voyager - "Scorpion, Pat I" - 05/21/1997

Voyager must pass through Borg space, but the arrival of a new species causes problems.

Enjoy!

My Ta-tas Jugg is almost lvl 50 and will hopefully be by the end of this weekend.

She is currently tanky spec and I would love opportunity to practice tanking on her since I have not really tanked since Vanilla WoW. So, I'm always up for running some flashpoints--even if I've outleveled the FP.

I would be up for HMs soon and would love to help organize groups for FP and HMs.

I'm thinking that if Imp days are Thursdays and Sundays, those may be good days to schedule FP runs and I would be more than happy to do some regularly scheduled FP run throughs for alts and lower level toons. Thursday and Sunday evenings work well for my schedule as well. We can call them Run Thru Thursdays and Super Sundays.

Hello, SnowHeart! I have taken over the role as Empire PVE officer. If you would post your avaliablity in the forum called Empire PVE (it's stickied) I will be sure to include you! Think you're right about heroics and questing to be done in gchat. Thanks for your imput!

Episode 527 - Voyager - "Worst Case Scenario" - 05/14/1997

http://www.allstepisodes.com/megvid.php?n=4326

B'Elanna Torres discovers a holodeck program where Chakotay and the Maquis rebel against Janeway.

Enjoy!

I saw some more good stuff today in game.


Here's my jackrabbit impression.




Either the devs got the Z-coordinate wrong on these papers, or someone is using an air-hockey table as a desk.

Pardon the "new guy" just jumping in here, but I think this is a great idea. A couple thoughts...

Datacron Runs -- I might try to organize this by planet, by level bracket, or just by difficulty. I would also think about linking to the some of the holocron videos on Youtube so that folks can do these (the ones not guarded or in heroic areas) on their own, so that as a group we can focus on the more difficult parts. But, yes, I think this is a GREAT idea.

World Bosses -- Absolutely. Only trick here is the respawn time and the off-chance that someone killed it shortly before we tried to.

Heroics -- Except for higher levels, I'm not sure how well this will work. I don't know about others, but I pass through levels fairly quickly. I'll be on a planet for a couple days, tops, before moving on. Trying to schedule something in advance for a heroic like that... might not work. This might best be tackled in guild chat. Just a thought.

Questing -- Sort of like heroics, this might best be handled through Guild Chat. Perhaps people who are willing to help could put on their members notes "Willing to help with Questing/Heroics"?

Flash Points -- I would love some times set up around this, particularly at the higher levels, whether it's for Hard Mode or just doing those high level flashpoints. I have never been able to do Red Reaper, Battle for Ilum, The False Emperor, etc., because I can't find a group. Occasionally one other person, but not a full group.

Anyway, great ideas.

Dancing! Especially breakdancing :D

Ryob you were so sweet in vent in welcoming me as a new member (well all of you have been in chat forums vent etc) know you had to bounce out for work but hey that is how you get to play is making irl credits.

As for me while I have one level 50 I am not really in love with her for any kind of ops and that is my mercenary .. its prolly my spec and lack of gear since it was my first toon to 50 and I was very clueless in getting her there. She is not guilded likely will just be available to help folks with class quests etc ... However my sorcerrer Lafeigh once I get her up I have been gearing and speccing to what I think is a more optimum FP/perhaps later OP level and then again understanding of the game that comes with a second toon.

I have never been heavy raider in all honesty, but weekends I would love to try to see how this game plays with the understanding that any spot I may take up now would be given to a hard core kinda guy/gal later. This would be for a sorcerrer that is not yet 50 but I plan to ding just taking my time with her and enjoying the ride. I do have the 50 BH but again not feeling that toon but could be made available ... I think sniper is what I will go for next to 50.

Congrats on the promotion Rybo!

The best times when I have a large block to play are anytime around and after noon until about 5pm on the weekends and most weekday nights from about 10pm-12am (EST). The toon I would be bringing would by my Medicine Operative Alins who is 50. I will also be working on leveling a Deception Assassin named Lyros who is currently in the low 20's (his spec is subject to change).

Thanks for making this topic, I'm looking forward to some guild run flashpoints and operations!

Hey Rybo! Thanks for posting about this. Getting into some raids/operations (and even just high-level flashpoints) with my sorcerer is one of the reasons I went looking for a new guild.

As for times, I'm easy. Almost any time can work, but I can't promise anything as RL takes priority and, if I have RL plans, then that's what I'm doing. (But, seriously... I have no life, so just about any time should work.) :lol:

As for my toons, I have a level 50 Sorcerer (Madness/DPS and CC) that I'm primarily interested in running for operations and high-level flashpoints. (I also have a sniper, but for DPS I enjoy the Sorcerer more.) I'm also in the process of leveling a Mercenary (healer) so she can run in operations, but for now it's just my sorcerer.
