And, it's kinda similar to Die Hard: Hans is the protagonist; that NY cop is the one standing in his way. Likewise, Dukat just wants to return to power and finish his genocide of the Bajorans, but that dang emissary keeps blocking him at every turn.

Mark Alaimo played Dukat as if he thought of himself as the hero. It fits.

To paraphrase Deja Q: "Q! I should've said 'Q.'"

In STO? "Alien" for the malleability and extra trait :-). But if that's off the table, Romulan for the longevity, awesome ship design, and menacing shoulder pads.

A lovely read! One small typo I found: "shared" for "shard"

...never had the impression it was ever underappreciated.

Awful day. Uniform literally didn't fit right. Serpent Among the Ruins is my favorite Lost Era book in no small part because it redeems Harriman rather mightily.

I don't PvP and don't know enough about how Endeavors affect PvP to have an informed opinion. BUT, I do like the idea of leveler-playing-field in PvP for new and old alike.

Heat from the fan motor outpacing air-coolness factor ;-)

Just my luck they're starting with the ship I really want :-/. Alas.

West End Games' Classic 'Star Wars' RPG Is Still Setting the Blueprint for Its Universe The venerable tabletop game is still shaping the galaxy far, far away—not just for the Easter eggs canon pulls from it, but its tone in creating new 'Star Wars' stories.

@jwhitbrook.bsky.social Thanks for the WEG Star Wars RPG love gizmodo.com/west-end-sta.... /r/StarWarsBooks asked last week who's on our "Mount Rushmore" of SW writers. In addition to Zahn and Brian Daley, I named Paul Murphy & Greg Gordon, who wrote the Rebel & Imperial sourcebooks. Rock solid.

+ Nukara - Those poor Tholians... I just run around murdering by the river. Apparently there's a whole cave system and buried ship? Still haven't gone looking. One day...

+ Kobali - I hate the drones. Otherwise a fun one to explore.
+ Romulus - I love the size and variety and look. This is one I'll wander around in without an endeavor to chase.
+ Dyson - big, but still - spend more time flying than acting. I just loiter in a spawn-heavy area at an edge.

+ Undine - spawns are too small or too infrequent to make the endeavor chasing fun, and one of the activities - the one with a portal for baddies? - I think has missing animation.
+ Defera - wish I could solo Hard content/bosses. Like New Romulus, I like the variety and size.

In general, they're fine fodder for endeavors, but I otherwise don't visit them.

+ Gon'cra - no idea how to get rank IV for activities for my endeavor chasing. Lots of folks say it's broken?
+ Badlands - pretty, and the Nebula feedback gizmo makes me actually think about tactics.

@davidwcollins.bsky.social Yep, Senate Escape Suite from Vol. 3 of Andor Season 2 soundtrack has Dies Irae. Having listened to you for years now, I can't unhear it.

That's awesome! Way to go!

Ack, is this Shades of Gray?

Nice thing about Bluesky is that it's easy to mute and block jerks like that fellow who was rude to Bort. Click those buttons like Unconventional Systems triggers and move on.

Starring Jennifer Coolidge as Captain DeSoto

If anatomy textbooks used the clearer language provided by kiddos, we'd have a lot more doctors in the world. But maybe also more dead people.

Awesome! What ship are you enjoying?

A bunch of Star Trek Online players have the Shangri-La class on their mind recently for soooooome reason.

I really liked the second-season two-parter where they rescue the rest of the bridge crew from the Husnock menagerie. I think it's the same arc where Shimoda gets promoted to chief engineer.

A sleek dark spaceship silhouetted against a a bright star.

My main has a fleet of ships he'll saunter into as conditions warrant, but the day-to-day workhorse flagship is the Excelsior II-class USS Rideau Lake. It's named for where my grandparents built a cottage 60 years ago, and where four generations of my family have traveled each summer since.

Nice: fix included in today's patch notes.

@counselor-sunna.bsky.social @borticuscryptic.bsky.social STO launcher has been kaput on @geforcenowcloudgg.bsky.social the last 24 hours - can yesterday's anniversary promo be extended until NVidia pulls it together?

@thomasthecat.bsky.social - When y'all talk about ship "skeletons," I picture @admiralbuck.bsky.social's brass skeletons (e.g. bsky.app/profile/admi...). Is this equivalent to STO's? Is there a visual depiction of STO's ship skeletons? Or are STOletons more ephemeral?

We're in the dumbest timeline. This reminds me of the "Freedom Fries" era.
