You can get hosting for as little as $3/month (I believe a Venti coffee costs more at Starbucks). If you wanted to hire a graphic designer, would you hire one that has a professional-looking website or the one with a free clunky Geocities account? Perception is reality.

Episode 485 - Voyager - "Tattoo" - 11/06/1995

http://www.allstepisodes.com/megvid.php?n=4209

Chakotay encounters non-humans that have the same tattoo on their foreheads that he has.

Enjoy!

At this point I'm actually scared to try and come back until several others have posted that it's ok. Now that they have closed a second thread (2k responses total) the reports are coming in of the people that have been trying everything they can to fix this problem...and burning out machines better than mine. Several high end machines are now toast according to the posters on the forums. ; ;


On a bright side, STO is now F2P and my account there has been reactivated :D!

That and the money thing. Joomla requires hosting =(

I love the companion aspect to the game and the ones separated by comma are dependent on how much rep you already have with the person. The companions that can be light/dark will like different things. As of right now courting only works on a romance-able target. Since men can not romance men at this time it will give 0 affection. If a woman does it usually it's 50/50 as it would be in normal life. As you gain rep with them they like it more.

Oh, great stuff.

The more I research the more I'm seeing varying information depending on where I look. I'm sure this is due to the game being so new. These sites at least give us a good foundation to go on though. We'll just have to experiment a little and see what works. That's more fun anyway, right.

I love that we have this whole companion element in the game. I'm looking forward to watching it evolve through future content. Who knows, someday my Sith Sorcerer may meet the man of his dreams and settle down to adopt a few little Sithlings in the burbs of Dromund Kaas.

EDIT: I just found this site that has a very simple and easy to read chart for each faction as well as some handy information about gift and affection levels. Notice it it doesn't mention anything about Light/Dark. I wonder if that is something that didn't make it into the released version of the game?

On this one you post, Jaesa Willsam shows a light and dark version. I was going off a Google Doc that is linked in our Link Repository.

There's something I've been wondering and I can't seem to find a definite answer anywhere. Using the info below as an example, what do the two values represent that are separated by a comma? Do these refer to Light, Dark or maybe Male, Female?? From looking at the Google Docs link I'm thinking this might be whether you're Light / Dark but I'm not sure.

I'm hoping it's not male, female because that's not the direction I thought Bioware was going to go. I know we don't have SSRO yet but I wonder if I can at least give my male companion a courting gift to increase affection. You know, just start off as "friends" :whistle:

Weapon: love
Military Gear: favorite, love
Courting: indifferent, like
Luxury: like, love
Technology: indifferent
Republic Memorabilia: indifferent
Imperial Memorabilia: indifferent
Cultural Artifact: indifferent
Trophy: like
Underworld Good: favorite, love

Also just a note when talking on the forums there is a Spoiler icon or you can use

[spoiler]Spoiler Text Here[/spoiler]

So it doesn't ruin it for people so you could be talking and just say

Spoiler (Show)

Spoiler Text Here

then it is up to people to click it to view it :cheer:

I'm having a bit too much fun just clicking the link now :whistle:

I've also had people freak out about what they perceive to be spoilers which are really not spoiler material to anyone that has followed the series pre-game. Like Revan's history -- not sure about what the game says about Revan, but I do know Revan from other sources.

also...

Alins has Armstech, Scavenging and Slicing in LoS

Monkon on LoS has Artifice.

but then again it boils down to my not having enough Tylenol in order to code it to look how I want haha!

I think Nick missed this part.

Episode 484 - Voyager - "Persistence of Vision" - 10/30/1995

The crew experience hallucinations brought on by an alien that put them into a trance-like state.

Enjoy!

Wordpress is nice for blogs and stuff, but I'm a much bigger fan of Joomla which our site runs on. Joomla is a content management system that supports a whole host of extensions and its very easy to learn. Joomla can easily do blogs as well. You may want to look into it as well.
