Bashir's ethics are put to the test as he keeps Vedek Bareil alive long enough to help Kai Winn complete negotiations for a peace treaty with Cardassia.

Enjoy!

A huge new Star Trek-themed attraction in Jordan has come one step closer this week.

Funding worth $1.5bn has been secured for the Red Sea Astrarium, reported Abu Dhabi daily The National August 1, meaning the 184-acre pet project of King Abdullah of Jordan is set to go ahead.

The park will be located in the coastal town of Aqaba and is intended to be a family destination, mixing cultural discovery areas with high-profile attractions themed around the popular Star Trek franchise.

King Abdullah is known to be a fan of Star Trek, having once featured as an extra in an episode of the television show Star Trek: Voyager.

He's unlikely, then, to be disappointed with the Red Sea Astrarium's main attraction -- a "state of the art space flight adventure" which developers promise will raise "real-time immersive entertainment experiences to bold new heights."

For those looking for a more cultural day out, up to 17 separate attractions will feature Jordan's Nabatean, Babylonian, British and Roman influences, along with theatrical productions, night-time shows, restaurants, shops and four hotels.

Construction is expected to begin next year, according to the developers, with the opening scheduled for 2014.

Jordan isn't the only Middle Eastern country that has set its sights big this week, however.
It's also emerged that Saudi Arabia is planning to built the world's tallest tower, some 173 meters taller than the current record holder the Burj Dubai, in the city of Jeddah.

Rising over 1,000 meters into the air, Kingdom Tower will cost around $1.2 billion to construct and will feature a Four Seasons hotel and the world's highest observatory.

2014 Stonewall Meet-up here we come!!! :lol:

And now it's on the STO front page!!

I didn't play this one, but some friends of mine and I bought the old d6 system Star Wars RPG books, and we had a campaign with Star Trek stuff in it. Took a little creativity to adapt the rules for Star Trek type weaponry and tactics, but a little research into the tech manuals for the differences between the two types of technology proved quite fruitful. One on one, we figured out, the Galaxy-Class could rather easily take on a similarly sized ship outfitted with Star Wars technology. And, if we progress that, a Sovereign could probably take on a Star Destroyer, and probably demolish it.

Great article Brandon :) I really like that quote you included, very inspiring. :lol:

I still have my FASA stuff. I always really liked the three books on ships of the federation, Klingon, and Romulans. They had a prolific list of ships. Those led me to Jackill's books, among other fan made tech manuals.

Captain's Log: Building a successful fleet

Check out my latest STO column and leave your feedback about it here :)

I suggest a possible structure for someone (none of you, I hope :lol: :P) looking to start a Fleet in STO.

And that's that I suppose. I guess it'd be better if us on the Europe side play on an American server since there are more of you guys.

I play LOTRO. Recently they removed the EU server and we all play on servers in the US now. It's noticeable from time to time, but not much. The real downside of playing on a US server is that the US crowd is not online at the same time on workdays. So i'm still hoping for more mixed EU/US/rest of the world servers

i remember me the first star trek game was on the amiga500 system from interplay

called Star Trek: 25th Anniversary

it was not realy funny. but it was something new in the game battles against the klingon and beaming up some stuff to work as delivery service no away teams so space battle only.

now will isengard at the start and they want for it 44 euro, so i say goodbye to middleearth,

the free to play system is in my eyes a nightmare. u can only get basic stuff for free. and to come up to high lvl u need a vip account and pay each month. coz the points in the store are not cheap.

when you pay each month u get 500 points in the online store.

u need to pay for high lvl crafting and other high lvl stuff, and many quests,too

i played it long time. but now it is an end for me on middle earth. so farewell little hobbits

So, this is from the tor website:

"I live in North America but my friend lives in Europe. Will we be able to play together on the same server?

Yes, it will be possible to play on the same server as your friends. Any player of Star Wars: The Old Republic can choose to play on any server. However, if you choose to play on a server outside of your own region (i.e., – playing on European servers from North America, and vice versa), because of natural latency caused by the distance between your client and the game servers, you may find your game performance is impacted."

And that's that I suppose. I guess it'd be better if us on the Europe side play on an American server since there are more of you guys.

Sisko assumes the role of a pivotal historic figure in order to restore the timeline.

Enjoy!

I will be on for early access as well. Can't wait to see KoS take on the Star Wars Universe!!

Technically so does STO... You can chat from Champions, Tribble, or Holodeck (among other locations).

Yes, COV

Are the chat channels not universal over the different servers?

Chat channels over different servers? Are there games who have that?

yeah the graphics look nice on that mission for sure :)
