i did that for a few months in 2013. it was a problem. - Big Joe Silenced

I go in these big spurts. I love the space game, I tolerate the ground game, but unlike WoW where I feel competent enough to occasionally do group stuff in STO I just don't... except on Crystalline Catastrophe, - Joe "The Anvil" Pierce

i got the hang of it, but my slow-arsed DSL connection made playing a bit crappy at times. - Big Joe Silenced

dammit, now i want to reinstall and play it again. GAH! - Big Joe Silenced

Did they have the DOFF system when you played last? It's a pretty cool mini way of doing things and lets you be more captain-ey.... Also there is now a Spock tribute statue on Vulcan and one on New Romulus (I have to go visit that one) both have plaques that honor fallen Trek alums. - Joe "The Anvil" Pierce

DOFF? - Big Joe Silenced

Duty Officers, you can now get a bunch and they go out on missions which can get you Dil, other items, xp and some other fun things. - Joe "The Anvil" Pierce

yeah, they had duty officers. that was neat. the real reason i stopped (apart from entire DAYS vanishing IRL) was that an update came down that didn't properly install and broke the game and i was never able to fix it. - Big Joe Silenced

FWIW, the box i was using was Win7 with all updates/patches. - Big Joe Silenced

it's gone from perfectworld to ARC? - Big Joe Silenced

DAYUM. 10GB of updates?!? - Big Joe Silenced

SLOW updates, too. this 10GB will probly take 2 days. :P - Big Joe Silenced

1GB down, 9 to go. - Big Joe Silenced

Yeah Arc is the new thing. I can't wait to get home and kill the Crystaline Entity again. - Joe "The Anvil" Pierce
