True and agreed. I do still plan to create an account over there soon though. (I’m thinking First Contact day would be fitting, in a way.)

Beat me to posting by 10 minutes. Ha!
(Well, at least 10 minutes as far as I can tell here on kbin.)

The Market tends to always be a “pass” for me, since it’s stuff I already have from actually doing the events. (Some of) the bundles are tempting at times though. That list is shortening for me, in general. The MMO part of the game has lost its luster for me these days.

“except bundles”

Really? Thanks. Guess I’ll keep my Zen then.

Adding an edit:
I want to also note that Mudd’s Market sales are usually 75% off not 50% off.

Oh, got it. I didn’t realize Console had started the 14th so soon.
That must mean that Kael just used the wrong tags (since it’s in the PC news area), rather than a duplicate like I originally thought.

In any case, have fun, Console players! It’s a fun set of episodes so far.

I saw this post too, but it looks like a duplicate of one made in January. Is it not?

Indeed. I hope he’s doing OK too, sounds like he’s going through some stuff.

As far as my posts, I’ll still try to do things as timely as possible and perhaps start working on an account on startrek.website. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It is. I’ve read about that and wondered if it was happening. There are a few discussions popping up about it too, so hopefully it will be addressed.
(I’m also considering just migrating or creating an account on startrek.website. We’ll see.) Thanks for letting me know.

Sorry for the delay in posting my summary; kbin was down. Again.

Kbin was down for a couple days, so I wasn’t able to post my summaries. Hopefully a day late isn’t too late!

There are some definite TNG throw-backs in this bundle. I think it’ll end up being a “pass” for me though, at least for now. I am looking forward to the next C-store bundle 35% sale though, given the correction on the tommy-gun.

Just noticed that I duplicated your post about the 14th Anniversay Bundle. Sorry about that.
I’m a mod over at the kbin STO community and thought I’d start helping out by cross-posting some of my summaries to the startrek.website community as well.

Not sure how well this comment or the syncing will work, but just wanted to say hi and LLAP. I’ll continue to try these cross-postings from our community to yours, unless you say otherwise.

I mean it’s fine if you enjoy the game, but it really isn’t a good game at all. It’s fun in that it is a way to immerse yourself in Trek content.

This sums it up really well. I also find it to be a fun place to meet up with geographically distant friends who also like Trek. Hanging out in Quark’s while chatting over voicechat is pretty great.

Over at Daystrom, this comes up from time to time. I’ve formed a head-canon for it as well. To quote one of my comments on a thread there regarding the explosions (and the “rocks”):

My understanding is that the “rocks” are a product of the electroplasma system being exposed to air. Whether that is some sort of coolant that is meant to seal the EPS leak in that console or some sort of EPS byproduct reacting in air, I don’t remember or have a head-canon for it.

All of that said, if I form this reply into one worthy of Daystrom, then I say it is an intended safety mechanism to protect the crew against catastrophic failure of the EPS conduits.

So, the consoles are exploding from the failure of the EPS conduits and the expansion of the coolant.
