Oh yes! Awesome Awesome Awesome! The new season looks great and its about time too. This is the only reason I pay extra on my cable bill to get BBC America (that and Top Gear for my BF). I'm also very much looking forward to the new Torchwood series, I've missed me some Cap'n Jack (sigh).

I still have BotF in my game library, but it's been so long since I've played, I have few memories of HOW it played. I do remember all of the openings thanks to Rickster's refresher.

I've been doing some digging, and apparently there are some patches out there that people have used to some success to get it running on XP, Vista and 7. Haven't tried it myself yet.

Example: http://www.compatdb.org/forums/topic/19943-star-trek-birth-of-the-federation-winxp-fix/

This topic almost makes me want to play it again. It does work under windows 7 but unfortunately you have to run it through DosBox which really does bring down the graphics quality somewhat.

@Rickster: Lol that takes me back. At one point I had all 5 of them memorized. I hated playing as the Cardassians because their economy was always tanking.

Yes I'm actually from just outside Rochester NY, the Irish accent is the result of being dropped on my head as a child. lol.

Ok, now I feel like I'm being toyed with here....

OMG... Zep and Mike... thank you so much for a much-needed laugh this morning. Quite literally a L-O-L.

Episode 236 - The Next Generation - "Relics" - 10/12/1992



Parts 2-5:

Found from the above link in the related videos section

The Enterprise investigates a vessel that crashed on the surface of a Dyson sphere 75 years ago. An undegraded pattern is found in the transporter buffer, that of Mr. Scott. Feeling out of place and obsolete, Scotty agrees to return to his vessel with Geordi to help restore the logs, and they become the only hope when the Enterprise is accidentally pulled inside the sphere.

Enjoy!

It definitely was a great read. I am amused by one thing about the member spotlights, but it has nothing to do with the author (Zep) nor the layout. Mikey read the second one (before I had a chance) and was convinced that it was Zep who was from Rochester, NY. I kept thinking his accent was a little out of place for a native Upstate New Yorker. ;-)

OMG, you didn't have to tell anyone!!!!! :blush: I had a blonde moment god!!!! can't we just let it go?!

A little update, the event has been posted for this thursday!

Just as a heads up, we will be hitting 2 nebulas this week to get all those wonderful data samples!

They will be;

Afehirr Nebula and B'Tran (VA) we get the purples in the sector space of B'Tran VA, which are really needed.

Look forward to seeing you there and thank you for your help in advance ;)

This is happening between different rooms.

I'm in a corridor and targeting enemies in an adjacent room and even in the corridor on the other side of the room.

=edit=

Nevermind, that's apparently a flaw in foundry missions.

That's not a bug; that's a feature.

This has to do with the nature of most of the objects in STO. As Zero says, the devs are lazy and when they make most objects, they only have a texture on one side, meaning that the other side is transparent. Any enemies on the other side of that object can still see you and attack you. For awhile, this meant that the enemies could attack you, but you couldn't attack back cause you couldn't see them. So they made it so that if the enemies can shoot or target you, you can target and shoot them.

Try adding in some more objects to make sure that both sides of that wall or what have you are opaque.

I have a question of my own.

I've created a mission (Gorn, never to return) in the foundry and there's a huge, hideous bug. You can not only target enemies through the walls, you can shoot them, too, causing them to come running to get you despite the distance.

Now I don't remember any settings or flags in the foundry that let you do this, so what am I doing wrong, here?

5 to add.

I use Chrome and it opens up in my browser :)

because it is a PDF it has to be downloaded somehow -- you can try playing around with your browser settings so it just opens the PDF in your browser.

brandon alas i have stopped reading the new version of the stonewall times as it is only in downloadable form can you release a form that can be read and not downloadable
