Well said. And it's been an enjoyable journey throughout.

Some of the stories have been lackluster here and there, but that in itself is Star Trek. Not every show/game/story is going to be for everyone, yet beautifully all are welcome as trekkers/trekkies.

The game will probably soldier on for a significant period of time.

Agreed, but I would adjust that wording (whether "solidering", "limping", or "on life support") based on how the first DECA content feels.

It will probably be in a “zombie” state, not unlike that of Champions Online (as I understand it, I don’t really play that game).

Feels like it has been since 2020, if not a little before, IMO.

We’re closer to STO’s end than its beginning.

STO 2 when? 😛 Joking aside, we really are near its end. I wish that 3D model company hadn't turned and run after taking orders (yes, they refunded eventually); I'd have liked to have some of my ships as models to remember STO.

Personally, I think they were just someone's way to get lines spoken as if from those alien comics (by Nathan Pyle) that are popular online right now. Lines like, "Evasion is beneficial to us" instead of "Watch out". Or "Observe" instead of "Look".

I don't think there's any real story to it or, at least, no story that anyone at Cryptic cared to create before leaving/sleeping on the project.

At this point, with as many years as STO has had, I'm guessing "shard maintenance" is just a chance to clean out the hamster cages for the next week.

I didn't even notice this posting. In fact, I was surprised when I saw the shard message in-game today; I figured they were skipping this week.

General:

• Resolved an issue that was allowing the power from the Polarity Coil Generator to appear on captains' hotbars even when the Console was not equipped.

Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day

It looks to be a ship that could be useful for many types of builds. Impressive, considering it's an Event ship.

Hahaha. I'm now thinking of my question in that context and it makes this whole thing so much funnier.

Thank you!
