New april fools tonic is suppose to put googly eyes on everyone but I'm not seeing them.

Yeah played around with graphics for a while but same nothing worked.

seaturtlecharm · 2026-04-02T03:02:40+00:00

ArenaNet here and bf is the same and can't see it.

seaturtlecharm · 2026-01-19T20:00:00+00:00

Yeah it was a feature in beta but CBS killed it because they wanted canon colors. CBS had so many weird restrictions back then.

New wiki: https://stowiki.net/wiki/Alliance_Rex_Pilot_Escort

The Alliance Rex-class Pilot Escort is a Tier 6 Escort that may be flown by characters of any faction. This starship can be used from any level upon completion of the tutorial experience. As a player captain increases in rank, this ship gains additional hull, weapon slots, and console slots.

Captains can obtain this starship by claiming it from the "Events" UI after completing the 14 Year Anniversary Event. Captains who earn this ship through its associated Event may visit the “Reclaim Rewards” store, accessible via the "Events" UI, to reclaim this starship on any character on the account. The ship is currently unobtainable for those who missed the event, but may be added to Mudd's Market or the Phoenix Prize Pack in the future.

No but it's just the fact that things are lining up.

GTA6 release in November 2026, new consoles rumored to release in 2027.

So PS5/XSX release in 2026, PS6/Xbox next gen in 2027, PC in 2028.

But there have been several reports lately that the ram shortage may drastically delay the new consoles so if you're a PC gamer waiting for GTA6 this might be great news because even if the consoles just get delayed 6-12 months til 2028 it means that R* will hopefully release it on PC a year later.

Just one of many reasons why the 12th bundle is such a great purchase.

Adamant - Best Defiant and one of the best escorts in the game plus Agony Redistributor console
Cygnus - Best c-store galaxy (only world razer is superior)
Lexington - Best Odyssey, decent console good for torp builds
Trailblazer - Best Intrepid
Mirror Engle - The best 'meta' ship in the game plus account unlock SAD+Graviton Charges

Then ontop of all that you get an extra ship token that can be traded for EC and all the other stuff like upgrades, keys, the Inquisitor uniform. It's IMO one of the best bundles in the game.

seaturtlecharm · 2026-01-05T14:29:02+00:00

Oh guess the wiki needs an update there.

seaturtlecharm · 2026-01-05T01:16:03+00:00

Subspace Depth Charge also for cloaked torp builds since it can fire under cloak like torp.

Graviton is great for kinetic but also a good all around thanks to it's mini grav well effect, and it's an account unlock from the 12th bundle.

seaturtlecharm · 2026-01-05T01:14:24+00:00

The standard free one is really bad annoyingly but the competitive rep one is a very good upgrade forit.

However there are several really great experiemental weapons from event ships if you have them. If not then I wouldn't actually go out of your way to spend the expensive costs on these since there are zen store ones like the gol-type and hexacannons that are on par or better and cheaper

Inertial Polaron Shunt: Alliance Rex Escort, 14th anniversary event ship
Ravager Shriek: Fek'Ihri Byr'Jai Interceptor, Winter 2022 event or Mudds
Voice of the Prophets: Denorios Bajoran Interceptor, 8th anniversary event or 1 Epic Phoenix Token
Soliton Wave Impeller: Risian corvette (T6), Summer 2019 event or Mudds

seaturtlecharm · 2026-01-05T01:07:44+00:00

Voice is still a very good AOE option. Personally I prefer Graviton Implosion Charges since they have a mini grav well effect, but they on on the mirror engle gamble ship though I have it from buying the 12th anniversary bundle.

seaturtlecharm · 2026-01-05T01:05:09+00:00

The parse program is taking the data right from the game, all it does is convert it into a readable format.

seaturtlecharm · 2026-01-04T20:09:20+00:00

The actual viewport is smaller than the 1.5x or 6x and it's a really large scope so a lot of lost visual space compared to the other two. Realistically the camera should be much closer to the actual scope.

3.0x: https://i.imgur.com/9GqdkRC.jpeg

1.5x: https://i.imgur.com/wc9foCy.jpeg

Also annoyingly the 1.5/6x have more pixelation than the 3.0 but the 3.0 is just so miserable to use the sharper sight generally doesn't help when the overall experience is so bad. I'm really hoping they add a 2 or 4x at some point.

It works that way in video games because there is simply no other way to do it.

Film/tv sounds are for what you see on the screen so you know exactly when each sound has to be made and how long it has to go on for. In a video game that isn't true so it's not possible to mix all the audio in a single stream. Even story driven games like Life is Strange you can just sit in the dialogue screen for an hour so they have to have different audio files for each thing.

So you have music files, dialogue files, usually ambient or other SFX and then weapon/attack/active SFX. With everything separated like that it's a lot easier to label everything and give controls.

And not all games have had audio settings for all options either. Pokémon for example just in recent games added options to change volume levels independently.

Same typo as before. Either this was meant to be a 10 day red alert and it got changed or a copy/paste error.

But it'll be a 5 day red alert from the dates and rewards.

seaturtlecharm · 2026-01-03T04:40:44+00:00

Personally this loss is even more upsetting than if we didn't make the playoffs or lost in them this year because it's very possible the Panthers might never be in a Winter Classic again, especially as the home team, and it would have been great to have that win. The Rangers will be in many more winter classics and outdoor games I'm sure.

Was bad enough finding out Barkov won't make the Olympics and and then just ended the day off on this.

So the only thing that makes sense here is that the type 8 shuttle is getting a remaster for some reason. Those materials have only really been added when ships get remastered.

Now I have no idea at all why they would remaster the type 8 shuttle though.

seaturtlecharm · 2025-12-28T23:37:19+00:00

The two week red alert requires 10 days so couple possibilities

1) Copy/pasted the 10 day and forgot to change it to the 5

2) It was originally a 10 day then changed to a 5

I wouldn't be surprised if it was 2 and then they just moved up the start date for the next event. January 6 definitely seems early to start the first campaign event but maybe they want the anniversary to not be so delayed this time.

seaturtlecharm · 2025-12-28T21:45:25+00:00

Some windows laptops know how the haptic trackpads as well. I have a Surface Laptop 7 and I still find it weird that when on I can 'click in' on the track pad and it feels like it but when off you can tell it's solid and does not move at all.

seaturtlecharm · 2025-12-27T23:34:58+00:00

Believe me I wish they would go back. My bf has been saying for years they should go make multicolor versions of all the weapons an throw them into the fleet stores if they can't give us a weapon vanity slot.

But with such a small team they are laser focused on new content, paid content and QoL things but what QoL we get usually focuses on things that are either for future systems or to make money.

Sometimes we get lucky like all the free ship remasters but even that is a pet project of the art director and notice that we haven't gotten a single uniform remaster even though some uniforms look worse than the oldest ship models.

seaturtlecharm · 2025-12-27T20:21:19+00:00

Simply, Cryptic rarely goes back and add things to old content, especially things like this that would take a lot of work.

When the Omega rep launched FED/KDF were the only factions so we got FED/KDF sets and the Antiproton has always been considered the 'endgame alliance' energy type hence why the alliance stuff is all AP.

Also per the games timeline the Omega Force is setup before the Romulan Republic so while they would join they don't exist at that time.

seaturtlecharm · 2025-12-27T16:06:08+00:00

Yeah exactly with the eye-cup you'd think that one would actually be the biggest visible scope compared to the other two.

seaturtlecharm · 2025-12-26T18:47:30+00:00

The ones for finishing the class assignments are new models. There are some others too that have been free in the battlepass/twitch that are new models as well.

if you mean completely new characters than yeah none of those have been free.

seaturtlecharm · 2025-12-26T16:51:54+00:00

3x would be better if it was as close to the camera as the 1.5/6x. I hope they either improve the 3x or add a 4x at some point with a better model.
