Re: Make the Universal Chat Nicer.
Hi 
I certainly hope I have never offended anyone, I am Michelle... I try to get people to be nice and make it fun. I would be willing go do it but I already have two fleets and a discord and school and autism so I couldn't do it unless I got paid but it would be great because I struggle working in person environments and I play a lot but I could only do it sometimes like pop in and check and then like leave but um I like kinda already do I just don't have any authority to like say much except please be nice but it had been working really well because a lot of people are being nicer and enjoying the U.C. More and to be fair U.C. Has always been this way and it's the reason we have discords as well and personal fleet channels but I agree that everyone in UC needs to follow wheatons law while at the same time people still need freedom of speech so I would say like I have seen you in chat and I'm discord and I think you are great but I would say that you could probably try what I do and just tell your crew in your fleets do follow wheatons law I'm chat. I also appointed an officer as ambassador to let us know if somebody is breaking that when I am not online but that is about all that can be done right now without help from the devs sadly. Sorry if that was a ramble I am just speaking truth.

Re: Event Discussion: Runaway Bride - 2024-02-15 Rerun
Auto/3x space battles are a wonderful thing (I can't imagine what FBB would be like if it had been introduced before them) but with the rate they let you rack up VP in Skirmish they have had the side effect of making any hybrid with a Skirmish phase into a short Skirmish with two days of padding.
Re: Event Discussion: Runaway Bride - 2024-02-15 Rerun
Until a new event type is ready, just do a better job of mixing up the 3 full and 3 hybrid events, so that no event type is ever featured (full or hybrid) in more than 2 events in a row. You could do a rotation like this, where each event type has a full event, first-half hybrid, and second-half hybrid:
Week 1 - faction
Week 2 - skirmish/faction hybrid
Week 3 - galaxy
Week 4 - faction/galaxy hybrid
Week 5 - skirmish
Week 6 - galaxy/skirmish hybrid
Even if full expedition events are off the table, mixing in the occasional hybrid involving a half-expedition would be a great way to add more variety from existing event types, giving you 3 more hybrid options.
The high point half should always be the second half. Faction/skirmish not skirmish/faction. Especially with the start of the events covering more working hours, you want the minimal grind that can be done then and leave the grindy skirmish for the weekend. When skirmish half is first it means people who have time during the week can rack up big points and there is no reason for anyone else to even try to catch up in the second half.
faction/skirmish lets you cheat in a way though

This will be the second rerun where I'm not bothering to hit threshold. Mega is coming, save for that
I agree 100%. Couldn't be bothered to get Bridal Keiko the first time around, almost certainly won't bother this time either. Dax isn't inspiring enough to chase, so unless there's a truly compelling reason based on the following week's event I'll be putting in minimal effort.

I’ve noticed that some times the FBB screen doesn’t update properly and you’re looking at old, cleared nodes. This can be fixed by restarting the game and the correct set of nodes will show. That’s liking what’s happening in your example.
But to your question, it seems that the cards are applied to the nodes when your attack run is finished. So if two player start at the same time, whoever finishes first clears the node. That is how it appears to me.

Re: Fleet Boss Battles - Feedback thread
Just out of curiosity, why does Bridge 16 still have Constellation schematics when the bridge rewards have already given out enough schematics by that point to get the ship to level 10? It feels like a slightly lame reward to get there and find such a redundant prize...
did they not give out some schematics?
Re: Fleet Boss Battles - Feedback thread
Or reset the rewards and let us start at level 1 again. I'd pay dilithium for that option.

Who was with him when they changed him? Maybe all the "templates" were Human?
Been a couple of decades since I saw that one.....
Thinking about it, the best chance the dominion had for a detailed scan of alpha quadrant species was in The Search (S3, E1&2), when they had the crew in that not-holodeck. But Kira wasn't there, just humans, a Trill and a Romulan. So that might explain why they chose human anatomy, they had more comprehensive data to work with.
It's a better explanation than lazy writing, anyway.
Bajorans are humanoids. The only difference between them & humans is their nose
I don't think it' sa stretch to say that they have the same necessary organs
What is more is that Odo actually based his look on a Bajoran - Mora Pol
The fact that Odo could never get a regular nose right, imagine getting the Bajoran version done!
@DScottHewitt apart from the Founder, only Sisko & Bashir were present
