    I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

    I wouldn't consider myself a DPS chaser either, since I haven't even parsed my ship builds in at least a year or two. However, I definitely follow the meta and know I have (or at least) had some high DPS when I did parse.

    TLDR: Maybe not a DPSer, more like a fast-damage hobbyist.

    How does this one feel, compared to other patrols? Sounds similar to the "Rescue and Search" patrol.

    I have played the new TFO "Royal Flush" a couple times and found it to be reasonably quick for completion. It felt similar to the TFO with the multiple shipyards and genocidal Klingon lady.

    I found it best to take on the TFO with a fast ship, preferably with good DPS. My Legendary Defiant made quick work of the various enemies at the waypoints. The final boss is basically just a repeat of the same eight kills you just made.

    So, overall, decent TFO and I might see if I can Solo this TFO this weekend. I'll come back here to relay my take on the new Patrols in the next couple days.

    Agreed. You sum up the more reasonable aspects of my actual "complaints" well. Uninteresting.

    However, I do still play daily. Now, more recently, that's been no more than 30 minutes, simply to do the daily checkbox and leave. There's (currently) nothing "interesting" for me; I hope the new team and arc will introduce a change for the better. I grew weary of the new coat of paint on the old grind TFOs. Worse still, the odd movement of the game further from science and exploration.

    What I want is the Foundry and puzzle-solving. What I have is a pew-pew DPS chase and there are much better (free/cheap) games out there which can do that. Still, I continue to log in daily because I want this game to explore the new direction they conclude the post with. :)

    So, new event and new activities? Hope so!

    ... the DECA Games team are working closely with Cryptic’s team...

    Yeah, I would hope so, considering you're taking it over from them and trying to keep it running. Just try not to pick up any bad habits, like typos.

    ... and we’re excited to finish the story arc that we began with Unraveled.

    Yes, please end that story arc. Please, I'm begging you, not for its conclusion, but simply so it's out of the way.

    We’re also in the process of planning and pitching our next multi-year story arcs - which has been well-received.

    Well-received by whom? The same people that liked the previous arc? I hope not.

    We understand it might be disappointing...

    We're used to that feeling.

    ...not to have a new episode coming this month

    Oh, you weren't finished yet. Sorry about that. No, it's fine. They did this stuff all the time, like missing First Contact Day and the like.

    but we hope you understand that we would rather give you the best content possible than rush something out the door.

    OK, that's actually new.

    We are committed to producing content of the highest quality possible as we carry the Star Trek Online torch forward, so you, the players, have many more years of quality content to enjoy. The future is bright for the Final Frontier!

    Yeah, definitely a new approach. Just be careful not to have typos and errors in dates in your posts.

    [PC] A Good Day to Die! www.playstartrekonline.com

    July 25, 2024 (8 AM PT) - August 15, 2024 (12 PM PT) * **Event:** Participate in 6 different space Task Force Operations (TFOs) to earn progress towards the Event Campaign Grand Prize. * Defense of Starbase One * To Hell with Honor * Battle of the Binary Stars * Remain Klingon * Operation Riposte * Best Served Cold * **Grand Prize:** Temporal Disorder Console (unlocked after 14 days of event progress) * >The splinter of a Boreth time crystal located at the heart of this console draws four duplicates of your vessel from different timestreams. As they appear they automatically move to defend their progenitor, taunting the enemies around them. When they expire they explode in a cascade of deadly radiation which holds enemies caught in the blast for a number of seconds and provides your impulse engines with a valuable boost. This technology can make your ship temporarily Immune to All Damage, by causing a massive tachyon surge that causes your ship to briefly flicker in the space-time continuum. This effect is triggered when your ship's Hull Capacity drops below half, but may only occur once every 60 seconds. * **Event Campaign VI Participation:** This event contributes to the overall Event Campaign VI.

    A "test" to judge Star Trek shows

    You've heard of the "Bechdel-Wallace test" and its potential value to some people in measuring various media in a given context. I propose a measure we'll call the "Captain and Crew Test".... I was enduring -- yes, that's the word I'll choose -- an episode of a certain Trek show and found myself thinking that I seem to enjoy Star Trek shows where the captain isn't the center of attention for the continued story, rather the crew as a whole (including the captain as professionally and relatively required) works together on the story of the day or is portrayed in multiple dimensions without the commanding officer present. So, here's my attempt at codifying this "Captain and Crew Test": - The episode/show has to have at least two crew members (i.e. not the captain) essential to the story, - who interact with each other without the captain, - about the story without specific direction from the captain I think these "rules" could use some adjustment and addition, but I think you get what I'm proposing/suggesting/inciting. UPDATE 2024-07-04 04:35:34 UTC: Check out the quick and amazing work by [@danielquinn@lemmy.ca](https://lemmy.ca/u/danielquinn) to c[ompile a subset of the percentage of lines for each character in a few Star Trek shows](https://startrek.website/post/12062565).
