My friends, we are losing ground. Countdown is has taken the lead once again! Oh and by the way, if you wish you can vote more than once.

I've been playing on and off. Mostly my toons on Guardian, but I rolled up a "Margali" on Virtue. I'm sort of monitoring the Stonewall global channel, but I never see anyone else on it.

I'd be happy to join you guys on Virtue some time, just need to let me know when.

Knowing that we will eventually have the ability to create our own playable missions in-game, what missions would you like to see?

I know such a mission wouldn't be possible with user-generated-content tools, but I think it would be awesome to have a Mirror Universe story where you and your BOs go up against your evil, goateed counterparts, in their own evil, goateed version of your starship, with powers and capabilities comparable to your own. That would rock sooo hard.

LOL.

And also: Eyew!

I hear the whole "annoyed at all the bugs argument", and agree to an extent. But at the same time I'm conscious of how much harder it must be to make an MMO than a single player game, and considering the number of those I've bought that have turned out to be more bug-ridden than the entomology department of the British Natural History Museum, I honestly don't think STO's been doing so badly.

Not ideally, of course, but on the whole it's still playable. Compared to The Saboteur's release, for instance, where it turned out to be incompatible with almost the entire ATI GFX card range. :blink:

Hi y'all! if you replied to the thread above you have received your ribbon :) Congrats and thank you for attending!

If you were at the in-game Pride event ant any point during any of the festivities, did not respond to this thread yet or do not have your ribbon, please PM me and I will get it to ya! :)

Yeah, I completely echo what Nick said. I definitely hope Forge turns out well. It's more that my hope is tempered by previous experience with Cryptic, and this whole "Forge is actually being built for other stuff at the same time" just feels like another episode of "That's So Cryptic!".

Like everyone else, I definitely hope and want these user-generated content tools to work and be awesome. I mean, you guys see how much I love writing stories here on the forums. If this game gave me powerful and flexible tools to create missions, I would be soooooooooooooo happy. Hell, I'd probably be dumping my own Weekly Content on you guys. :D

An amazing accomplishment! Congratulations to all of you. Further proof the Stonewall Fleet is THE BEST FLEET ON STAR TREK ONLINE!!!

I enjoy the game and I like the way it's headed.

The general dissatisfaction you hear is our disappointed with the developer, Cryptic. A lot of people are tired of the bugs, half developed content, and lack of exciting features.

A lot of the problems with STO boils down to the fact that it was made with a game engined designed with another game in mind and it was rushed out of development to make a quick buck.

I'm all with you on hope. The game has a lot of great features, space combat, bridge officer crafting, diplomacy, but there's definitely room to grow. The last Ask Cryptic was the best I've read in a long time and I think the changes in leadership will lead STO down a completely different path than where it was going.

Congratulations to Brandon and to everyone who participated last night...amazing results! Stonewall Fleet is capable of anything when we all band together!

I like you, even if that last post gave me a headache. :-)

I don't mean this observation to be directed at anyone in particular, but sometimes it seems we're looking so hard for problems that we can't just enjoy things for what they are. I don't know if it comes from being gay in a society that often treats us as second class citizens (or worse), if we're just dealing with abandonment issues, or if it's part of a larger zeitgeist.

We know some developers have left Cryptic. We have been told that is normal after the successful release of a product, and that makes sense. But still there seems to be a feeling of insecurity, like this game we're investing our time into will be yanked out from under us, or abandoned somehow. So when word comes out that a user-content system we thought was ours is also going to be used in another game, suddenly it becomes a sign of the Apocalypse?

Truth is: someday the last STO server will be shut down, and those of us who sprung for the lifetime membership will just have to accept that it was for the lifetime of the game, not the lifetime of the user. Realistically, that's not going to happen for many years to come.

In the meantime, the bigger danger is that Cryptic will not devote what we consider "appropriate" resources to keeping our game playable and enjoyable. To counter this threat, I choose to vote with my dollars (or in this case my Cryptic Points), and let them know that I like this game, and I want it to continue to get better.

That chart is GORGEOUS! Seriously, seriously lush!

Thanks Brandon for throwing a great party! Thanks to everyone else who joined in to make it even better! I had a great time, it was like an easter egg hunt, lol. Looking forward to the next one!

I've always been extremely skeptical and cynical at heart, but I’m also always optimistic by dint of always being very cynical about how much of a cynic I am... So while things often do turn out to be disappointing, the way I see it is that that's only because really I'm always optimistic, and although I'd expected it to be disappointing that would only have been because I'm such a skeptical and cynical person, and I’d been optimistic that I’d be wrong and it might not disappoint after all. Either way it's very rare I'm surprised. :P

Wow, congratulations to everybody who was there!

WHOA! Gratz you guys!
