Eventually I'll sift through all 150 (gotta catch 'em all) so if anyone else has experience or wants to take a chunk of these please let me know. :)

LIMITED EDITION Klingon Print Prize Details




One of the top tier event prizes is a Limited Edition Klingon Print, donated to the prize pool by Voleron. It is a full-color 30" x 22" poster by acclaimed Sci-Fi artist James Cukr titled "Klingon War Party" and was a special edition print for Star Trek Communicator magazine subscribers only, limited to only 500 pieces released world-wide. This is number 195, and is hand-signed by the aritist in gold sharpie. There is a small amount of creasing along the very top left edge which will NOT show when framed. Otherwise the print is in perfect condition.

The winner of this item will need to provide a physical mailing location to which the prize can be mailed. The item is gifted 'as is', and we cannot be held responsible for any potential shipping damage.

Vote for the new Stonewall Fleet Uniform now!

Thank you all for submitting your designs and SiranNataan for writing the wonderful descriptions!

Uniform A

Akinori brings us a classic look updated for the 25th century. Subdued hues contrast with pale grey epaulets, whilst black faux-leather gloves round out the uniform. This outfit reminds us that subtle details make all the difference."

Uniform B

Faux leather always makes a bold fashion statement. ChemKarate integrates bold, asymmetric faux-leather panels into a tunic in deep jewel tones. The tunic pairs nicely with crisp, classic slacks.

Uniform C

Deep, rich hues mark DoctorDisaster's traditional look. From epaulets in espresso to a subdued take on department hues, these dark tones are the height of sophistication. Ladies have the option of wearing a skirt with the classic top.

Uniform D

The future is bright in this sleek look by Ereiid. Bright-coloured epaulets stand out against a stark sheen of white. This ensemble is so bright, you can see it from space.

Uniform E

FreakyFerret's uniform is perfect for your next deep space assignment. Class specific shoulder pads bring this outfit to completion and high boots make it perfect for whatever strange new world you'll find yourself on.

Uniform F

Gettorix's look suits both an officer and a gentleman. Whilst the uniform hews close to those worn by some of Starfleet's most decorated officers, subtle touches like mocha trim offer a refreshing new twist.

Uniform G

High-contrast jewel tones highlight Isthisscience's creation. A white tunic with colourful epaulets and undershirt update a look that was most popular on Deepspace Nine in times past. Classic black slacks round out the ensemble.

Uniform H

Set phasers to stunning in this crisp, clean look by KrazyRoo. Classic black slacks complement a solid white jacket trimmed in black and department hues. Elegant in its simplicity, this uniform is sure to stand the test of time.

Uniform I

This color coordinated ensemble is brought to us by MrBDamien. This modern and updated take on the Starfleet uniform is accented by its class specific matching boots and the white details give it the elegance needed for any dress occasion.

Uniform J

Old meets new in SiranNataan's collection. Sharp two-tone epaulets are sure to catch the eye, whilst a classic cut and clean white fabrics echo dress uniforms from ancient Earth. This nod to the past goes right down to the spit-shined boots and velvet gloves.

Uniform K

SixofNine brings us a sleek, cutting-edge design. Subtle trim and subdued side panels complement deep greys and blacks. The clean silhouette is perfect for showing off a Starfleet-trained physique.

Uniform L

Voleron brings us a simple classic from the past. The original Stonewall Fleet uniform. Tailored to fit even the newest of recruits, this fashionable and functional uniform is accentuated by a light and dark color scheme.

Unfortunately, this is the way that our civil rights movement has to have gone.

It would've been much nicer and simpler if we could've had a national amendment solidifying our equality, but waiting around till public opinion had "evolved" enough to make that possible would've taken even longer. Even now, we're only at ~50% (give or take 3%) support for marriage equality.

We've had good success with our piecemeal approach to progress. I think its actually helped speed people as seeing us normal and productive members of society. Once we had that first marriage win in Massachusetts, we could always point to it and say, "Look, the sky isn't falling in MA!"

I think a big part of the older generations uneasiness (not necessarily that this applies to anyone here) is our assimilation into straight culture. In the 90s and earlier, the gay community wanted to go its own way and develop its own culture. I think in a lot of ways we've lost that.

We are today three days away from having Guild Treks unlocked!

In preparation, I sifted through the dulfy list for any spots that look challenging.

Some locations are inside of or at the end of jumping puzzles and one is right next to a champion ooze.

Here is my first draft of a list of Trek spots worth scouting and a link to the master list:

http://dulfy.net/2013/03/03/gw2-guild-trek-guild-mission-guide/

Bloodtide Coast:

• [strike]Blood Ooze Gallery[/strike] (easy to get to)
• Covington's Stowage (easy but tucked away)
• Portmatt's Promontory (buggy activating JP)

Diessa Plateau:

• Anya's Patch (easy JP)
• Blackblade Butte (easy to get to)

Harathi Hinterlands:

• Fawcett's Porch (end of JP. manageable)

Kessex Hills:

• [strike]Defiled Delve[/strike] (very easy)

Fields of Ruin:

• Brandstrike Digs (easy to get to. no jumping)

Malchor's Leap:

• Delight's Balcony
• Spectrehaunt Socket

Plains of Ashford:

• Cademkrall Overlook (easy to get to)

I realize wanting 11 scouting spots is overkill. I'd like to narrow this list down to 6-8 of the toughest spots, but that will take some field research first.

Please feel free to scout some/all of the spots on your own. I would like to organize a group of *at least* 4-6 confident jumpers who know some/all of these spots as a sort of "Trek strike team". As far as I'm concerned though, the more willing scouts the better. :)

Thanks for reading this far! See you all in game. :)

Hey,

I was born on Earth on 22nd July of 2375. Fascinated with military since I was a child. Joined Starfleet and wearing this uniform with pride. Main ship: USS Eternity, Odyssey Tactical Cruiser NCC-93202.
Currently I am in All Good Things fleet although that fleet is quite silent since some time which is really pity.
I am Vice-Admiral in game, level 50 playing since December 2012.

You can add me to you contacts in game: Maxwell@maxwel975

Outside STO I am huge fan of Alien movies (except all "mistakes" made by Fox: "AvP", "AvP2" an especially awful "Prometheus" grrrr) and S-F in general. I was haunted by Battlestar Galactica (remake). Favourite book: "The Forever War" by Joe Haldeman.

I love all movies with Sigourney Weaver. She is wonderful.

My favourite Star Trek series: Voyager (Janeway rocks!), TNG and DS9. We have been to Destination Star Trek 2012 in London and met Cpt. Janeway in person.

I love rock music. Few years ago I was able to be on 40-50 concerts per year. I don't do that anymore.

Most of my free time I spend at the gym although not so much time as few years ago.. Getting old perhaps (especially when one will read comment above about my concerts trips hehe).

Currently working as operations manager in European division of the US company.

has to be mply placing the first URL into the forum will automatically translate to a video pop

Like so:



But the forum does not recognise the shortened youtube share addresses as a video link, so simply takes away the "http:// "

Like so:

I'm down to needing the last part, but i have no idea how to get the Maelstrom mission, who has it and where are they?

Ah, got it. I know how to extract the ID, but I couldn't remember the right form the URL to get it to work. This would save me the trouble. Thanks!

so many possibilities (and jokes there!). which ship and will it have photon torpedo launchers?

I did that! It still didn't work for some reason. Weird. Well, whatever. There it is in its full glory.

If I may offer, this is how I post vidoes here. First, select the video option from the Boardcode options:



That should show some additional fields to input information. From the Provider dropdown box, select Youtube. Then in the ID field input the Youtube ID that you find in the URL, in this case iNaeyxzQK60



Once your click the Insert video button, it should insert the proper code into the message you're typing.

I hope this helps!

I picked this up myself for the PS3 yesterday! I won't have time to give it a go until tomorrow, but I'm looking forward to it.

Most of the game's negative reviews seems to revolve around the PC edition, which is probably just a terrible port of the console version, as Star Trek: Legacy was.

Hopefully my console experience will be good! :D

Hey all,

Picked it up yesterday for the xbox and have been playing CoOp with Fishy, and I have to say so far its a good game, didn't have any problems with CoOp, no Glitching out (YET). I do find with a game like this any little thing that people find they BLOW up and make it into something its not.

If you want some fun then pick it up, if your a person that find problems with everything then don't. The game is a mix of Mass Effect and Star Trek. I looks really nice and the voice acting is done well.

I was debating to myself about getting this. as the last couple of star trek games (besides STO) have excited me then dramatically made me disappointed in its game play and story line. to name a few (Star Trek: Conquest, Star Trek: Encounter, Star Trek: Legacy.)

Now if some gaming company were to make a game that would be Elder Scrolls Skyrim meets Mass Effect meets Star Trek: Bridge Commander, then I would be very much in love, in heaven and happily married to some guy by now..
