Tuesday stroll down Memory Lane

Prime LorcaPrime Lorca ✭✭✭✭✭
@Data1001 posted a thread lately that caused me to browse through threads that I had created. I read through the thread where my little bro-mance with @Bylo Band started. I saw a bunch of familiar names in the thread. It got me to wondering about my first thread. I'll grab that and link it in a minute.

What was your first thread? If it was on the old forum, then a summary is fine, if you remember. Or grab your first one from this forum and post the link. Or just pick one that brings back some good memories. Post it here if you want to share. Or just enjoy your own personal stroll down Memory Lane. :)

    My first thread was in the old forum, the one with the Chinese spam, under the name Enterprise Was Best. It was about adding more skills, such as pilot and communicator, the the existing MED, COM.....I think I was so STT young then that I didn’t know there were traits

    Well this is embarrassing... I was a poll elitist from the start.
    https://forum.disruptorbeam.com/stt/discussion/5933/who-hates-polls-with-loaded-answers#latest

    Sorry, @{DD} Smelly !! You were the most recent "victim" of my attitude about polls. I feel like I owe the whole forum an apology today. So...

    I'm honestly sorry to any who I harassed about a poll that you posted. I've recently learned that it's quite rude and doesn't actually serve the community. I shall endeavor to improve my contributions to the forum. :)

    No hard feelings. I was a little salty about your first couple comments in that thread, but once you provided some context for them, you made a really good point. In the end, your input gave me more to consider going forward, and hopefully it will help me create more effective polls in the future.

    Nobody’s perfect. Least of all me in that thread. I’m just glad it ended with everyone shaking hands and making up, more or less.

    As far as my first thread, Idk, it was probably an overtly biased poll on the old forums. :p

    Mine was a question about Intel carrying over yes/no, embarrassingly on the Bridge.

    But this reminds me of how unselfexplaining the game is, e.g. calculations in Gauntlet, Arena, AND shuttles vs Galaxy and so on. Fortunately we have some math folks here who figure it all out and share their wisdome. Otherwise STT would be really lame for me.

    DB started putting better tutorials in the game. WRG has some work ahead still, but yeah, it's a good thing there's some helpful players here.

    I've been on the forums since late 2016, but I have self-initiated very few discussion threads. (I'm kind-of like that in real life too. Happy to add my thoughts to someone else's topic, but rarely do I step to the podium first.) Anyhow, after lurking for most of my time on the original forum, I posted my first discussion in May 2018 to the Ready Room - an all-unowned behold help query for Mirror Regent Worf, Ent-E Picard, or The One, Lore. (FWIW, went with Worf, who still sits at 1/5 and is essentially useless today. Made reasonable sense at the time, but my current 2/5 Ent-E Picard wishes I'd made a different choice.)

    Behold help is certainly a worthy first thread. :)

    As best I can tell, the first thread I ever started was back on the old forum on 31 May 2017.

    Riker's Angels: Sito/Seska/Pazlar

    I broke down all 20/45 cadet missions that trio could clear and what rewards you could earn on all levels of difficulty for those missions. This thread was notable because that was where I introduced the term "Riker's Angels". Since the old forum is designated for the scrap heap, I've copied and pasted that first post. Leave it to me to write a first post that takes four clicks to finish scrolling down. I like to think it was informative and helpful, at least. I've replaced the original image since the original post no longer displays it.

    It’s come up in enough threads I decided to just make a post all on its own. For players wanting to pare down their M-F cadets to as few as possible, there is only one combination of three personnel who can be used in all three challenges and can clear at least one mission in each challenge on Epic. That triumvirate is:

    8p8qvutv4bgi.jpg

    Cadet Sito Jaxa/Ensign Seska/Ensign Pazlar

    Here are the missions they can complete, along with the items you can farm from those missions. In all, they can complete 20 of the total 45 missions (three challenges, five missions per challenge, three difficulty modes per mission).

    Obviously, you will need to clear other missions in order to get to all of these, so you will still need other cadets up front. Consult DaiMon Darmok’s thread, Cadet Challenges: Essential Crew and Optimal Pathing for further advice.

  • Turns out my first one was asking for Cadet Picard to be added to the game

    So, I did a Google site search for my forum handle and restricting the dates to the first few months that I played STT. It appears my first post was on January 8th, 2017, and was a very n00b question about how to find certain episodes on the Galaxy Map (I thought at the time that the Episodes without a crew image were some other kind of special mission, because they didn't have the name of the Episode underneath).

    The first thread I posted was on the 22nd of that month, asking how I could get to the faction center on Xindus, since that planet was hidden behind the Delphic Expanse banner on my tablet, no matter how I zoomed or scrolled (also a n00b question, as I didn't know about being able to go directly to faction centers from the shuttle bay — which admittedly was more complex than it is now, since you had to click on an "i" information icon on the faction card and then choose "visit faction center").

    Alas, I didn't quite hit the ground running — unlike some people here [coughcoughTraviscoughcough].


    Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

    If you want to feel a little better, here was my fourth thread. Full on noob. Three whole comments. And it deserved less. :D

    ax3iw0gpoz58.png

    Second was "I'm fleet shopping" (which went tremendously well) and third was another poll (surprise!)

    I agree that Travis pretty much knocked it out of the park on his first try.

    My first thread started off with people calling me evil, evolved into probably one of the more beloved threads on The Bridge, almost certainly created an unintended and mild schism between myself and SR, and lead to a forum friendships I still maintain to this day (shout out to my friend @Haere Lintesereg )

    I forgot all about that rabbit hole, @Bylo Band. You and @Flemming need counseling, and I am never going camping with either of you. Also, I appreciated this:
    Can't we all just pick on Harry Kim instead?

    @eXo | SilverRose, you do what you want, but I think you're missing out by not making that your signature. That's some good stuff.

    @Travis S McClain, are you sure? I'm trained in CPR/first aid, defensive tactics, can make shelter, find water/food, can make fire without a lighter/matches, and I always have a minimum of a small preparedness kit with me at all times. I'm probably one of the best people to be stuck with in an emergency situation :p

    I was surprised that there where people who didn't want the intro and outros removed from skirmishes. I guess we are going to get that after all (sort of).

    Some good stuff in that thread. Some has been addressed in some fashion and some hasn't. One thing that I've noticed on the forum: the more significant a change is, the more divided the opinions tend to be. Except for inventory. Everyone seems to be on the same side there, lol.
