Hahaha! I foiled your evil plan!!!

Miss you guys.

Brother!

The best Star Trek game I had for a long, long time was Warp Factor. I still play it on my Apple II emulator every once in a while.

Oh, and remember that when this happens to file a support ticket.

I'm digging into this to see if we can't come up with better behavior.

My feeling is if you pay $50 bucks, and you can't play the game, there's probably nothing that qualifies as obnoxious criticism. I remember when I was in college, and scrimped together the money to buy Star Trek: The Kobayashi Alternative. Man, was I excited about that game!!!

It was a disaster. I cannot tell you how devastated I was that the game sucked, because it was pretty much all my money, and it wasn't like I had a host of other cool games to play. Plus, there were no fixes coming down the internet pipe for that bad boy!

So, I'm pretty sympathetic when people holler about the game. I know *EXACTLY* how it feels.

It reduces DR, and works the same as any other modifier or damage in the game. That means it cannot effect other areas of the ship or the ship's stats.

Added gun damage to the second post.

You're going to be even more impressed, because it's already fixed. The first content update will have the auctioneer muted. But it's really no thanks to me, I passed it onto our sound designer, and she'd already shut him up.

This is something I'd love to do. Part of it would be instanced, of course, just for you, but putting a graphical overlay on top of the economics I think brings it to life. It really was just a resource issue for us. I have no idea where it is on the feature list, but I'll try and find out when we go through our road map.

Scooder, we haven't seen any reports of a character being deleted. Can you please log a support ticket on it, and we'll take a look at it asap.

You probably haven't seen any of my other posts where I apologized, but for a problem like this, there's always room for one more:

I'm very sorry that we've had this downtime, and I know it's an aggravation when you set aside time on the weekend to get into the game, and find it's unavailable. We've fixed the problem resulting from the influx of players this weekend, now we're working on some problems with Blackbeard. We take these problems very seriously, and we'll keep on going until we've gotten it fixed for you.
