Wow, thanks for all the answers, this is supportive :)
Fortnuately I have not encountered any hate speech in game - probably because I just mostly click the Stonewall talk tab and don't look elswhere ;)
It's hard to ignore those comments when they come from a person I know. And I am very impulsive, you know, the Leonard McCoy type :D I feel the urge to react but maybe as long as it is not offensive but just stupid I shall probably ignore it.
Thanks :)

I mean - if you were even looking at the Odyssey Uniforms from the Fleet store, let's face it, it's likely you had Fleet Creds burning a hole in your pocket, amirite?

Especially while we were levelling up the main Starbase.

These days, Fleet Creds may be just a bit more precious - but look at the leaderboards and check amongst yourselves.

Surely you didn't blow that whole wad on Spire Tac Consoles.

Oh free knockoff ody uniforms I am totally there.
I knew I shouldn't of paid money for that.

okay thanks for the reply. B)

You just have to repeat the Cryptic Party Line, "You didn't pay for the item, you paid for access before this point." Just keep repeating that to yourself till it feels better.

The way I see it, I bought the uniform when it was fresh off of Marc Jacobs' runway.

Now, the knockoff is available at Walmart.

Youtube's apparently got Disneyitis as Todrick Hall and IM5 relased a Disney Dudez 2!

The sequel was just as hilarious :laugh:

We do get a shiny new uniform in its place though so it ain't all bad.

Hi,

Our standing rule when establishing a Stonewall Gaming Network on a new game is to see if there is already an established GLBT group in the game. The reason is we don't want to poach or have the appearance of trying to steal members.

I did a search for Marvel Heroes 2015 GLBT and I dug this up. So as there an existing gay guild there, we will not be establishing an official SWGN presence there.

He made a sequel:

So uhm... this is on Tribble Patch notes today...

The Odyssey Uniform is now a standard uniform all Federation captains freely have access to.

give me a moment so I can put in ear plugs before you rage...

Guess i don't need permission to make the guild. :ohmy:

I mean, as the system currently stands - it doesn't make sense to grind max skill on a bunch of alts.

I think I have 2/6 L50s.

And it sorta makes sense. I have one bankalt that I play only rarely, who's great for dumping a ton of crafting mats into his bank. And really, the only significant plus to crafting right now, as I see it, is keeping alts well-stocked for consoles during the levelling process.

But I'm not yet entirely clear whether the new buff incentives really changeup whether I'd want to try and grind the system on more than one toon.

Your reply still screams dil sink to me, both special components and doffs.

Given they've got to make their money somewhere, and one of the major zen conversions seems to be dilithium? It probably will remain that way.

I suppose it might be advantageous to wait, then, before grinding the system.

If I had to prognosticate (purely conjectural, mind you), Cryptic'll err on the conservative side, and overcharge at first - potentially adjusting costs downward at later date, as they have with the rep systems.

The only cons I really go to are the annual Las Vegas ones put on by Creation Entertainment. Neither I, nor anyone I know who's gone has experienced any homophobic treatment. In face, couple years back, we were drinking at the casino bar with Rod Roddenberry, he was completely at ease being around a bunch of gay men and when I asked him if he thought his Father would've had any problem with the next Star Trek Captain being gay, he very readily said he did not think he would.

So these people who claim to be huge fans of Star Trek while simultaneously taking a crap on all that it stands for, are really no more than bigots who happen to like science fiction. It's not impossible, like a paraplegic gymnast, it's just really difficult. ;)

Sorry to hear about your experience. I've been noticing a lot of homophobic, and near xenophobic comments in a lot of the social zones(ESD, DS9, and now Risa) it's shameful and why I avoid most of those places

This seems like it will be s real dil grind, for doffs and rare components, am i seeing that right? What are the risk/rewards currently on tribble, are we talking complete revamp over months of my doffs to have any chance of mk xii purples? Will a crafter be able to do any non crfting missions on a reqular basis, once they try to start making ec with this system?

Disclaimer: my highest rank is Shields 10, because there's an "error" in the Aegis Shield recipe that currently makes it abusable. That said, between the Snake Pit (reddit) and the Oubliette (the official forums), there's a lot of information about.

Also keep in mind: there are still a lot of glitches and typos in the system. This is possibly the most alpha of any feature I've seen them put on Tribble, and I was around for both rep and starbases.

Cutting for length:
