whoot! the good ole days; thanks, mark :)

:com: B)

I never really played FFXI ... I gave XIV a try the other night because my better half is in love with the game but I have a few grievances.

1) I can't jump!?!?!?! You mean to tell me that this two foot ledge is so detrimental to my health that I can't jump down/up and instead I need to spend thirty seconds running around it?
2) Why are you making me run five minutes to one spot, only to spend two minutes to do a single quest and then turn and run five minutes back to that spot? Ugh?
3) Maybe this is just me but does the mouse control in this game really operate that poorly? :( Makes me wonder if its being designed for a controller with the mouse as a second thought since usually a mouse is much quicker/more accurate. Boo.

I will give the game the point that it is gorgeous. Too bad I've spent more time in cut scenes or running from point a to point b than playing. I'm not anticipating adding this to my gaming rotation. :/ I can't figure out if all these simple things (i.e., jumping) I've just taken for granted in other games or if this is actually part of the allure of games like this. It's almost an antithesis of WoW and I'm beginning to think that's part of the appeal.

ok, aside from everything else, the trouble I have is the same trouble I had with FFXI. You can spend literally 15-20 minutes going from one npc on one side of town to another npc on the other. Towns are pretty but a huge time sink. It's why I stopped playing FFXI. Am I missing something? Or is "part of the fun" of FF games just walking around enjoying the scenery?

Very cool feature! I look forward to purchasing a few items!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Stonewall Fleet Store now Open for Business

Alpha Quadrant, Milky Way Galaxy - September 7, 2010 - The Crafting Corp of Stonewall Fleet is proud to announce the opening of the Stonewall Fleet Store.

This state-of-the-art online marketplace was created and developed in conjunction with StonewallFleet Inc. (NYSE: SWF) and Memory Alpha Enterprises (NASDAQ: MASTO). “It brings fleet members the opportunity to order items to be crafted directly from the Stonewall Fleet website (http://www.stonewallfleet.com/store),” says Nick@ NicholasJohn16, Stonewall Fleet’s founder.

After an order is placed, the client will be contacted by a representative of the Crafting Corp with instructions on how to receive the item. “At the present time, the Corp has every data sample in stock, with a supply that should last several months,” the Crafting Corp leader, Brandon@ bfelczer, tells us. Therefore, only the base item (available from vendors at Memory Alpha) will need to be provided from the client.

Another great feature of the store is the "search" option, where you can find the item with the powers or stats you want. Most of the items will show stats, but, there are some that are based on your specific character and ship - these include ship shields and engines.

While there are no surcharges for an item to be crafted, the Corp does have a suggested donation amount based on the rank of the item. Current amounts are as follows:

Lieutenant: 5K EC
Lt. Commander: 10K EC
Commander: 15K EC
Captain: 20K EC
Rear Admiral: 25K EC
Vice Admiral: 30K EC

All donations will go towards the eventual purchase of a Stonewall Fleet Starbase.

Fantastic, guys. BTW, your cute together. Your bf is adorable. And I could tell that you two are in love, sweety. Your lucky guys.

My man is a gamer but not a nerd, did i mention that he loaths cruises, he had a look akin to horror when i mentioned this cruise. :S

Just after he defeated Khan Jim was captured and put into cryogenic freeze but a clone of him was created. the real jim was found by a Federation search party in the year 2402 on the planet Ceti Alpha 3 where he had some major catching up to do with technology. but when he discoverd that the federation and the Klingons were at war he was overjoyed and said that he would hunt down every Klingon until they were begging for mercy.

Yes.. yes.. yes.. PS3! ENJOY the game!!!

Just in case no one read into the details:
Gene Roddenberry's son is a NoH8 campaign advocate, and he's a cutie! Can I get this picture poster sized to hang over my bed?!? =D

Makes me wanna go even more, they've also got some good Trek guest stars :)

The is the week before finals and LOTS of projects are due. Darn, it would be fun too.

I get my fill of Trek at the convention in Vegas and that's likely about it for me. My husband and I own travel by cruise ship when travelling internationally, but I'm not sure if I could convince him of a Star Trek cruise hahaha

The Celebrity Solstice is a gorgeous ship!

?!
I bet the ticket is more then i make in the next 2 months too huh? lmao

omg how do you change the keys? It seems like there locked to me

i still think thats locked. you can move windows around though :P and if you have a gamepad you can set the keys on that. unfortunately i still can't figure out how to map keyboard keys.

My only problem is targeting in battle. After something dies you kinda stay locked onto it, and targeting nearest sometimes selects yourself even if somethings right next to you. i wish i could turn that off... ugh. i've died alot because things get outta camera range and attack me, and i've got no way to target them quickly :-\

Even so. I do enjoy alot of what the game has to offer. Haven't crafted yet. Still figuring everything out. I try to catch you guys on but my list always shows you guys as offline :-\

Too bad im in sales and december is a must to be at work :(

Wow, and I thought I was bummed I couldn't go to Vegas... I love cruises, and I love trek. Now that I know they can be combined, I must find a way to go on one before I die.

I... I don't even...

I can't believe this is a thing that exists.
