Hmmm one of the one-off that got forgotten. The bad guy is half way between a traditional shapeshifter and a parasite. But also it's a murder mystery where no one knows there's a shapeshifting monster.... It's a weird premise that needs the party to get surprised by the nature of the bad guy. It's also a bad guy that lends itself to a one-off as the bad guy doesn't have any real goals or scheme...

This is perhaps THE most significant Holodeck adventure episode. But why? that's down to two things.... perceived danger... and being unable to just.... leave. It's mostly just the Moriarty angle. Which makes adapting it weird since this is a use of Moriarty... as a concept with no actual use of any aspect of the books he was based on. One could reasonably say it's Moriarty in name only as it's...

Yeah, formerly the FASA "Deep Space Freighter". well it's in STO now. But why does it apparently use the Amarie bridge? Well... because the Tuffli actually has a KDF and Fed version and if you use the wrong version's bridge... it doesn't really work right.

STO news time! Free stuff in the Promotions tab! Account unlock Kazon T5 Ship!

Probably the oldest trope in Star Trek. It was a staple of TOS, and has worked quite well over the years. But, how to use it well, and not OVER-use it? Well, the simplest way is to use the "hat" as a broad generalization, and not use it to define each individual character. Individuals, and sub-groups make things a lot more interesting when they have their own identity that's only partially defi...

Guls Madred and Lemec are still up to their tricks from last episode, but now.... we have to rescue Picard. They DID figure out the superweapon rumor was fake though. Picard DID manage to discern that much before getting captured. So... what would you have a player team do in a situation to rescue Picard? Yeah, it's a tense diplomatic showdown, and.... the Feds can't just... come clean... witho...

Yeah, match of 4 players vs easy bots. Fun game though.

This ep feels weird when you first see it if you don't know why it's so weird. Which means you need to think backwards when running this scenario or a similar one. But also, you need to keep separate what YOU know from what you want to tell players about what's going on. That's a key part of game prep. Although a lot of players will expect subterfuge from Cardassians, the trick to good subterfu...

yeah, I haven't done any Minecraft recently. This is not just a simple trick for positioning floor objects. This is crucial to timbered building frames, and several other things as well. Especially Terracotta, since Glazed Terracotta has several sides that are different.

As an ep heavily focused on AIs controlling robots, there's obvious parallels in other fiction, like Terminator, Short Circuit, and several others. But it's something Star Trek has tinkered with more than once in other eps. ruclips.net/video/6-SP7MbKGEA/видео.html talking about whether Data counts as a person. ruclips.net/video/WnoPqrFFKSg/видео.html Sentient holograms... ruclips.net/video/ecV1...

This is a fun one... the first PURE Psi weapon in STO! Physical damage? Who needs that? It's time for PSI damage! It's a nice weapon honestly. In comparison the Nano-pulse Ushaan-tor is merely... ok. the tertiary is a really cool power to have, and the way it has the movement speed bonus is really helpful to make the lunges a lot better.

Sooo... any... new things....that I'm going to have to test later. TWO new usable melee weapons! Didn't list any Boff or kit powers though.... gonna scour the store tomorrow. Not sure if it's just different or something is missing.

Yeah, the description.... doesn't seem to fully explain how it works right. it's NOT a passive summon that follows you all the time. The summon pops up when you use it and follows you for a while, then despawns. That or it just pops up while you're in Red Alert status? I've tried it a few times and I'm still not sure. While you do see two in some shots, I THINK that's because another player was...

Yeah, this isn't a ground trait people covet extensively, BUT it is a trait that is useful due to being a team buff.... despite being limited to ONLY Betazoids. Making it more readily available to players could be a fun and interesting idea. :D
