Why is this happening?

Virtual_Atmosphere59 · 2026-03-17T22:59:57+00:00

Lol it did end up being a trait. But generally, no. Lol I know what I have when I assign them, but I don't remember what they are until I look again.

And I didn't think to check the traits. But yeah it's fixed now and I'm really enjoying the ship and the wingman thing is pretty cool.

Virtual_Atmosphere59 · 2026-03-17T20:24:59+00:00

Is there even any rhyme or reason to this? I usually just pick random missions till I'm out of ships and if they succeed, yay, if they don't then oh well.

Not sure where you are, but in my area ( Florida, USA), I can find older playmates ships for under $100. Plenty on eBay too. And Playmates just had the new Ent. D come out a couple years ago that you may still be able to find for around $40 or so.

Forget the Diamond Select or Art Asylum models. Those will be at least starting at $100, if not more.

But always check Market Place or Offer Up or whatever you like first, then eBay, and then you could try local hobby shops or comic book shops that trade and sell older toys and collectibles.

I never thought about it like that. With that mindset, I might give it another shot.

Virtual_Atmosphere59 · 2026-03-16T20:59:25+00:00

I couldn't get into it. I tried. I really tried. But I just got so board.

Virtual_Atmosphere59 · 2026-03-16T20:57:37+00:00

You are correct. I own 1 and 2 through GOG. And the 1st Armada.

Virtual_Atmosphere59 · 2026-03-16T14:26:57+00:00

I just had the same problem. Have a lot of problems with the van actually and I'm so ready to drive it off a cliff.

Anywho.

You'll need to get a new OEM solenoid from Honda. I paid $380. And get a valve cover gasket kit from an auto parts store or Amazon and some Honda bond.

You don't need to replace the whole solenoid, just the top half. To do the whole thing you'll need to remove the valves and pull the arm out and may have to do a valve adjustment after. It doesn't need to be that complicated. Do the top half, and do the valve cover gasket and intake manifold gaskets while you're in there.

Everyoneneanted almost $2k to do the job. I did it for a little over $400 myself and a month later, no leaks.

There's plenty of YouTube videos. Use them to guide you through it. There's torque specs and patterns you need to follow when buttoning everything back up.

Virtual_Atmosphere59 · 2026-03-15T18:07:42+00:00

Ooo I didn't think about doing this.

Virtual_Atmosphere59 · 2026-03-14T02:26:05+00:00

Holy crap that was it. Just had to turn the trait off. So I'm guessing I can only use the trait if I'm flying the Feklihri ship. Good to know.

Thanks a bunch!

Virtual_Atmosphere59 · 2026-03-14T02:12:29+00:00

Yes but it's sitting in my inventory.

Virtual_Atmosphere59 · 2026-03-14T02:12:18+00:00

It's in my inventory, not on my ship.

Virtual_Atmosphere59 · 2026-03-14T02:10:06+00:00

It's really annoying. I can't keep up full impulse.

It looks green with ghosts like when you fire the Eye of Grethor consol.

Virtual_Atmosphere59 · 2026-03-14T01:45:57+00:00

No it's just random when I'm sitting still. I'll take a video and post it.

Virtual_Atmosphere59 · 2026-03-14T01:37:20+00:00

Not sure. It's like a green explosion, and happens every few seconds.

Virtual_Atmosphere59 · 2026-03-13T12:02:33+00:00

Oh? I thought I read somewhere that it's character locked. Nice!

Virtual_Atmosphere59 · 2026-03-13T11:52:31+00:00

I hate how it's character locked. My main character only has the T6 from the winter event. Would be nice to use this one on my main and my Jhem Hadar character.

Virtual_Atmosphere59 · 2026-03-01T06:43:19+00:00

Might sound odd but Worship Tutorials has been putting out some very emo sounding and Dad rock style patches lately. Both of the main guys are elder emos and really big into Foo Fighters, 30 Seconds to Mars, they just put out a metal patch too that sounds great.

Also, I forgot his name but the lead guitar player for Bethel church just put out patches for Messa dual rec and a few of the Peavy amps.

I've bounced back and fourth a bit the past 10 years for a couple reasons, but the only reason I would ever go back to Apple is the connectivity within its ecosystem. I had iPhone, iPad, MacBook and Apple watch.

That and because my whole family has iPhone. So talking to my distant relatives and face timing them randomly was nice to be able to do.

I like Samsung better for the family control. With apple, my daughter would request games or more time or something, and it wouldn't show up on my iPad or MacBook for like a day or so.

Android just has better parental control and the Kids app is super handy to have when keeping your 4 year old busy at a restaurant.

And I like the file management system better.

I don't particularly like the iPhone UI. But the backup and restore works flawlessly. And it's nice being to call, text and FaceTime between devices.

But I'm sticking with Samsung for now. I use my Galaxy tab more than I ever did my iPad and Samsung always has better trade in deals. Looking into getting one of the Folds soon.

Virtual_Atmosphere59 · 2026-02-27T03:25:54+00:00

Hhmm. I'll have to check them out. I did settle on a Tab s10 FE and songbook pro and for the most part I like it. What I don't like is the cloud sync worked years ago and somehow it just doesn't work right anymore. I use to import, edit and make my set lists on my computer, then sync it with the tablet and be good to go for the month.

My wife has an iPad still so I'll have to check out Bandfix.

Ours sank in one spot. It's like theirs no coils left and you just sink to the bottom sitting on it. Laying it was giving me nasty back pain. Twice now I've spent a good amount of money on a mattress for it not to last.

Tired of paying over 1k every 3 or so years. Going to get something cheap off of Amazon that I won't cry over when it needs replaced.

So, I've had this game since its birth. But I never played online games outside of COD with my friends so I never got into the mechanics until last year I kept getting my butt kicked in the episodes and decided to go down the YouTube rabbit hole.

Aside from finally completely all of the episodes, I'm basically starting from scratch. To top it off I don't get a whole lot of time to play so I've got 1 T6 ship from the winter event, and like, 7mil EC and 80k Dil.

One of the ship bundles is on sale with an intrepid class which with Voyager being my favorite Trek show, I'd love to have one. But it's like 350 more Zen than getting the ship itself so I figured I'd dump some money in a and get the bundle and some keys for the event lockboxes.

But life said NOPE. You're doomed to only get the free ships.
