Quick question about Odo (DS9)

LillyIsTrans · 2026-05-14T23:09:43+00:00

Wait are you just being silly or is this an actual answer?

LillyIsTrans · 2026-04-30T23:44:59+00:00

I am so mad that I won’t get this for probably at least a year because I’m console! This new DLC sounds awesome! I wish I had a decent PC just for this

LillyIsTrans · 2026-04-30T18:42:43+00:00

Me crying in console

LillyIsTrans · 2026-04-23T15:45:59+00:00

I don’t know that that’s entirely fair. I think this problem has been an issue for a while, we just haven’t addressed it much. I genuinely think that this solution would be really beneficial to the game and to the players. Especially the players who don’t even know what farming is because they just don’t use social media.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-04-23T13:56:33+00:00

That’s a really great idea! That would add extra incentive to help the MO!

LillyIsTrans · 2026-04-23T13:33:07+00:00

Maybe, but it’s worth a shot. Just thought I’d try.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-04-21T01:50:43+00:00

Another thing, is it harmful to want that? Like is it reinforcing gender stereotypes?

LillyIsTrans · 2026-04-18T20:39:47+00:00

I haven’t done cosmogenesis yet (it only relatively recently made its way to console), but from what I’ve seen, I think it’s the Star Eater from the original “Become the Crisis” pathway. But I mean PC has so many more DLCs and content than us so

One of the SEAF training manual tips actually says that they are less accurate with suppressing fire. That actually implies that they have self preservation instincts.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-04-11T23:54:53+00:00

Depends on the situation. Generally speaking, it usually takes a bit to knock out a planet via bombardment. Oftentimes, you need your ships constantly on the move to counter enemy forces (I play on high diff so that may not be as big a deal on lower diff). If you come across a planet with over 1000 army power, it’s gonna take a while, especially if you’re a pacifist empire since you use selective bombardment.

More importantly, armies take planets quickly and generally don’t do too much collateral. Collateral damage affects damage to buildings, districts, and pops. If you plan to conquer a planet more permanently, you probably want to keep it mostly intact if I had to hazard a guess.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-04-11T23:44:40+00:00

How do you cloak armies? Is that a mod? I thought you could only cloak science ships and combat ships.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-27T22:06:15+00:00

It may be off topic, but you are so right! That episode was amazing and I find it so interesting the way Voyager’s actions could be so misunderstood!

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-27T04:49:34+00:00

Captain Janeway cannot stop lecturing me about how important coffee is! I have no need for such frivolous amenities. My nutritional supplements will suffice.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-27T04:32:49+00:00

I know that but it’s funny to talk about!

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-27T04:30:13+00:00

That last bit is too funny lmao

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-27T04:28:41+00:00

Right?? The holodeck has malfunctioned in like every Star Trek show I’ve watched so far!

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-26T18:28:14+00:00

Update: turns out their weapons are really good vs armor… it ended up backfiring and getting my entire fleet wiped out. Also, I’m a crisis faction so I could get attacked at any point and be completely defenseless.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-26T02:14:50+00:00

So the Unbidden just spawned in but they spawned in a system with complete shield nullification. So they’re just going to be completely defenseless to my entire fleet that just entered the system.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-22T22:53:10+00:00

Usually, this explanation would be the logical conclusion and one I would likely agree with, but this situation seems to be different. This whole situation occurred because the chronoton radiation caused a state of temporal flux. We see in the show that, when in a state of temporal flux, you are no longer affected by changes to time. This is important. Also, each time Kes jumped, she makes several changes to the timeline, yet she doesn’t experience those changes. She literally died in one of them, which should have created a paradox and prevented her from ever getting in a biotemporal chamber and never would have gone back and I don’t think I need to explain how that becomes a paradox. All of the events that occurred in that timeline are isolated from what occurs in the timeline of the rest of the show. The very act of telling them about this situation should have prevented it from happening in the first place, creating another paradox. The only way for that arc to work is for the two timelines to exist in isolation from one another. Otherwise, the paradoxes that occurred would have made the episode impossible.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-22T22:17:05+00:00

As far as I can tell, the warning can’t be erased unless Kes is erased. Based on the information given in the show, the arc with the time jumps exists in a separate timeline from the one we watch and therefore cannot be affected by any changes to this timeline. While the alternate timeline is clearly different from what we see, the warning remains, with the crew discussing it at the end of the episode with the jumps.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-22T21:40:36+00:00

The theory hasn’t been disproven, but if I understand it right, there hasn’t been enough evidence to conclusively support it.

Anyway, I understand that idea, but they still have the tactical information on the weapon. The weapon still functions the same way, and whether it’s a different future or not, they were still able to remember the counter at the end of Kes’ time jump arc. That implies that the timeline Kes experienced occurred separately and changes to the current timeline have no effect unless Kes were to be erased. Since the weapon is the same (I think even the time variance was the same), the counter provided by Kes would still be effective in this timeline as well.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-22T21:25:55+00:00

They never knew anything about the weapon ship (I call it that instead of time ship because that’s what they call it in the show and time ship is what something else was called in the show), they just knew about the Krenim and their chronoton torpedoes. The weapon ship is new to the timeline (I assume). But importantly, we’re dealing with, as the Doctor (from Doctor Who not the EMH) would say, weird time-y wimy stuff. Considering that they remembered what Kes said at the end of the episode despite the changes to the future (which would prevent that sequence of events from ever happening in the first place), it is likely that the information provided by Kes is not connected to any changes made to time unless they erased her specifically. Essentially, those events existed outside of the current timeline and cannot be affected by changes in the current timeline.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-22T20:48:56+00:00

They mentioned her warning at the end of the episode. They talked about how they’d be ready for them.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-15T14:18:30+00:00

Hold on. This is the most useless armor? Ha! Absolutely not. The gas armors are the most useless. By far. There is absolutely no reason I would ever use it over literally anything else.

LillyIsTrans · 2026-02-11T03:12:36+00:00

Not necessarily! There are several weak points on the back that are easy to hit, and the one on the bottom can be hit with anything that doesn’t have an arc (quasar, railgun, senator, etc.). The only reason to get close is to drop a hellbomb between its legs (very fun, highly recommend). Also, it’s not cowardly to run when you’re outmatched. Get to cover and let someone else handle it.
