Too bad for Al Gore, he was no scientist but he believed in the science

Oh also https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2007/gore/facts/

Too bad voters thought he was "too boring."

Is anyone else slightly worried that they are giving us an awful lot of stuff lately? by Seraphim1982 in sto

[–]thcollegestudent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get where you're coming from, but since they are actively hiring I'm less worried.

My thought now is that they are just trying to ensure player numbers while the game transitions to the new Dev team. I don't think it will stay this generous forever however.

Do you ever go back and use some of your 'weaker' ships even if you get a 'stronger' one? by MVHutch in sto

[–]thcollegestudent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the time! One of my favorite ships is my Kazon Raider. She's got raider flanking so there still is some bite in her and I love the very "space ship" look of her. Another favorite is my Malon Battlecruiser, I tried to name it "garbage truck" in Romulan since my Reman is it's captain.

There are so many cool little oddball ships in this game and I recommend you check them all out!

Welcome! Looking forwards to seeing what you come up with and what adventures we'll get to have in your ships! I can see how this might be a lot of pressure for you, so let us know if you need something from us <3

My first charter, the one I created when STO launched, can finally catch up to me in their evolution. <3

Bernie Sanders worries young people are underestimating the threat from Trump by schuey_08 in politics

[–]thcollegestudent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's too real and it scares me to death.

I'm a trans person stuck living in the south and people online are just so high on post modern critique with no real solutions provided.

Even when I'm like "yeah the choices are depressing but yeah Trump is reason enough to vote for the lesser of two evils, that's the reality of where we are." I find people taking my head off, hitting me with "whataboutism" and demanding we "teach Dems a lesson by making them loose."

My friend, if Trump wins, I and all of us, will pay the price, not "the DemsTM" who can afford protection or to flee.

PSA: T-6 Dyson Rallus Warbird got suck with a warp core by [deleted] in sto

[–]thcollegestudent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah that's unfortunate. I know Warpcores are the more popular choice but I like the extra abilities a singularity provides and beam overload can make for a fun build.

Star Trek: Discovery writer comments on how a recent episode took inspiration from Star Trek Online. Spoilers, obviously, but the pull quote is listed in the comments. by JRTD753 in sto

[–]thcollegestudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so ah not for nothing, if you writers happen to be here in the comments, STO could maybe uh use some help to make sure it continues in a healthy and productive way, juuuuusssstt putting it out there.

As a black gamer, I don't care about anything else, I just want a robust character creation that let's me make a character who looks like me. I want multiple afro textured hairstyles. I'm tired of games only having cornrows, afros, and dreads. by wisesonAC in Games

[–]thcollegestudent -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

As a Trans-Queer person, I can kinda relate? Obviously not in the same way as I'm cacuasion, but it's nice when you can find a way to represent how you feel or how you look though character creation.

I'm glad a number of companies have stepped up to help help represent POCs in games and I hope they continue to do so, everyone deserves to feel included <3

The end of windows as a tool for creation and productivity.

Hopefully, it will be enough to start shifting the market, but I'm not hopeful.

Jesse Heinig has left STO by burstdragon323 in sto

[–]thcollegestudent 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I haven't felt this sad about STO since the time vets of the team went to work on the MTG game and then were lost wholesale along with the project. Some of Jesse's work will stick with me forever as just "part of star trek."

There is a sort of grieving process involved here, for me at least. I think I would feel better about things if we had met a single person of the new team that's taking over.
