Now, I loves me some Janeway.

But someone's needing to start filtering the scripts that are landing on her desk:

Thank you to ALL! The Prize Donation Drive was a huge success. We received so much more than was expected.

I'd like to join. I created a toon on Gilgamesh, how do I join? Toon name: Fenris Starshadow. Will this be the official Stonewall group? Cheers! - Matt

We welcome you to join anytime you feel it's right for you. There are lots of things, we as a fleet, do. We have a ton of in-game events and lots of team ups for end game content. As well we have tutorials, if you need them, for all of the reputation content. Feel free to check out our Welcome Center for more information.

I suppose what I mean really I haven't yet felt the lack of a fleet. I'd be delighted to apply when I do. :-)

You are welcome to join whenever you feel comfortable doing so, damerell. :) We welcome new members as soon as they start out or after they've reached max level as there's no limitations on when someone can join us. :cheer:

Using the Odyssey (if you have one) grants you a full minute of slipstream instead of the standard 30 sec.

Always check for warp cores that grant: driver coil bonus, SS speed bonus, SS cooldown

And you can active duty the doff that cools down transwarp, beats backtracking.

Very odd, I followed the process on the forums to get the US game client installed from a copy of the EU client but it was having none of it - had to download the whole thing again :angry:

Whilst doing so I find out that at the moment the EU megaserver is physically located in the US anyway to latency will not be an issue. Within two minutes of logging as as my new character though I disabled zone chat as gold seller spam seems to be the curse of the US megaserver - none on the EU one (probably think we are all too poor).

Anyway, I have created an Imperial by the name of Lucius Sextius Lateranus, he's a Nightblade in the Aldmeri Dominion. He's going to be a bit of a dark chap who likes to slip blades into people for money. The account I am on there goes by the handle of @Rasoma. I'll send over contact in game also. I really enjoy the open feeling of this from the beta testing and the crafting system is pretty neat - would like some dyes adding but in time that may happen as all having the same looking armour is so dull.

Thanks. That looks pretty good.

It wasnt a mac i promis ill try and get the link again.

Hopefully this works

From what I can tell, anyway, that's a Mac. Macs explode when I touch them.

The link is screwed up. Could you reformat it? Then again, I'm probably not going to get a chance to read this again before I go to the store--my day is jam-packed today, and tomorrow is my last time in a while that I have time to go to the store, and the library doesn't open till noon tomorrow so I won't have the chance to read this before I go.

Hey, I'm getting into the game, and so far, it's quite fun. That's on a mac too! I've bearwarrior#2956 if you can to chat/play :-)

i need more bank/inventory space....
help!

I had a look on best buy the first one i found that wasnt super expensive but seemed like it could run games was
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/gp70-leopard-010-17-3-laptop-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive/5185148.p?id=1219113400424&skuId=5185148&st=categoryid$pcmcat247400050000&cp=1&lp=4#tab=specifications

I had to look it up on the MSI website to get the exact chip but it does seem to have a dedicated graphics card in there so should suit both purposes nicely while not blowing the entire budget.

So I found out I'm stuck having to go about this with store credit, which means I'm stuck having to go through Best Buy. They don't have the Toshiba I posted above, but is this one close enough?

If you want something that will handle games well, you'll need something better than the Toshiba. As Gravity mentioned, you'll be better off spending the extra cash on something with a dedicated Video card, Either GE-force graphics or AMD graphics. Even with the settings turned down, the integrated Intel chips just won't cut it with gaming.

I'd shop around and hold on to your best buy credit for something else as I doubt they carry much in terms of gaming-ready PC's (though i could be wrong)

For a laptop, here's something i found. :) http://tinyurl.com/qj7eetf

Shop around. You can find a deal on something, also check dell outlet for Refurbished Alienware machines. May save there too.

Hope this helps. :) Good luck!

There are ways around some of that stuff, lowering video settings within games.

Well, I half-assed my gaming for a long time on cobbled-together Frankencomputers before I got the Alienware, and I survived. I mean, I doubt I could play a game like SW:TOR on a lower-end system, but some other games, okay. I'm as desperate for moving money as I am for a computer, and quite frankly, headed to school, I'm going to be gaming less and writing more. But I still need to keep my nose in the gaming world, as gaming development is presently my Plan B after grad school.
