I don't know if anyone here is at all interested in Cryptics other mmo in development, however they are currently offering a future in-game title to people who log into the Star Trek Online forums before May 22nd. You most likely already have an account here, and since its Cryptic both ways it works there as well.

Here is the link to the info: http://www.startrekonline.com/node/243

Beware, there are many there who take Star Trek very seriously. Just read over the posts about the new Star Trek movie and resist the urge to comment!

On one hand they have recast Kirk as someone besides The Shatner, on the other they have Simon Pegg as Scotty. I don't know whether to avoid it like the plague because of the former or go see it because of latter as I am a Simon Pegg fan (Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead rocked).

Also the new movie has would be an odd numbered Star Trek movie, and generally odd numbered Star Trek movies are not as good as the even numbered Star Trek movies.

I saw it last night and it was amazing. They did everything right. There were points where I thought the young Kirk was a little too cocky but other than that the entire movie was pure win. There were tons of Star Trek references thrown in there, right down to the obligatory guy in a red shirt getting killed. (I won't say how but its hilarious). Leonard Nemoy is awesome as always and has way more than a simple cameo and Simon Pegg is great as well. This has breathed new life into an aging franchise, and the new young cast ensures that there will be more movies to come.

The actors didn't try to reinvent anything and they played the quirks of the original actors perfectly from line delivery right down to movements and mannerisms. If you love the Star Trek series its a must see. I think the last movie broke the odd-number curse as it was so incredibly bad.

I for one eagerly anticipate following the adventures of this next first generation. :D

I love Star Trek but I tend to dislike a lot of the Star Trek fans. They do take it way to seriously which is why I avoid that forum. It was a great series of TV shows, and a couple of good movies (and couple of bad ones too:)). Nothing else.

I'll play the game when it come out, but I will not join in on the rabid fanboys whinning about how it does not meet to their expections of the "true lore" whatever hell that is. Fanboys can ruin that game's community, and super Trekkie Fanboys are the worst. I cringe when i think about playing on the RP server there, and I like to RP. :)

I got my Envoy title for logging in, but how do you know if you got it?... hehe :)

Keystone I have no joy from the beta buddy invite front as yet..
I may have Erk'd the CSR assigned that group somehow..

So I wait on the touch line waiting for the Gaffer to call my number as a sub.

So I have thee Warren Zevon -The Envoy feeling... Would like spreading joy to Monster Island
toss a few coconuts at the T-Rex or
to the Hula Hula girls..

or Like they did in the Movie MArs Attacks! Yell -Ack ack ack...

We come in Peace?? Now get off my Planet or I shall play Slim Whitman and Roger Whitaker!

Well Ravenstein, Trek does have Tribbles and they are hard to resist..

Like Beefeater's on regimental parade. and less restrictive then say a Papal Nuncio duties.
Looks more to be an honorary title as the CSR noted in the OP for STO..
not quite the same as a badge but a nice kudo.

Well I am evil (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blXBGkQpSVc).

When the Devil is too busy
And Death's a bit too much
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
To the Gentlemen I'm Miss Fortune
To the Ladies I'm Sir Prize
But call me by any name
Any way it's all the same

I'm the fly in your soup
I'm the pebble in your shoe
I'm the demon in your bed
I'm a bump on every head
I'm the peel on which you slip
I'm a pin in every hip
I'm the thorn in your side
Makes you wriggle and writhe And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

While there's children to make sad
While there's candy to be had
while there's pockets left to pick
While there's grannies left to trip down the stairs
I'll be there, I'll be waiting 'round the corner
It's a game. I'm glad I'm in it
'Cause there's one born every minute
And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

I pledge my allegiance, to all things dark
And I promise on my damned soul
To do as I am told, Beelzebub
Has never seen a soldier quite like me
Not only does his job, but does it happily.

I'm the fear that keeps you awake
I'm the shadows on the wall
I'm the monsters they become
I'm the nightmare in your skull
I'm a dagger in your back
An extra turn upon the rack
I'm the quivering of your heart
A stabbing pain, a sudden start.

And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

Don't be afraid of the Star Trek people. That's where I came from. We arent all a bunch of unbathed annoying people that you may think. We even wear deodorant sometimes :p

It is true though. Some of the people can sure be passionate about their beliefs and will beable to tell you how many pounds of red carpet are on what ship but most of the people are down to earth. Do not be afraid.

Did you see the microtransaction thread?

STO members should probably establish fleet membership since they'll need to test it, and it seems like the game will be somewhat fleet oriented. Just an idea. So far we have more leaders than followers, and nobody to join my fleet :D

My ship shall be named the USS Duct Tape and Failed Dreams and the Captain shall be referred to as 'Skipper' and the number 2 shall be referred to as 'Sparky' or 'Bubba'.

Also, all crew members will have training in how to use a M1911 .45 Colt pistol and a supply of such weapons and ammo shall be kept on board for the inevitable time when we reach a planet whose plot device is that something screws with our phasers; because in those situations you inevitably meet something you really, really wanted to shoot.

i r longtime fan of richard, and the music peice. all their happiness will belong to me.





i want middleaged fat men to scream like terrified girls in horror movies upon seeing, or noting that my ship has entered their system. i want them to do so even if they have friends with them. i want them to charge through a wall of borg ships rather than face me. i will moniter their supergroups. i will watch their plans. i will find them ingame. i will crush them. (and id like to use federation tech to do it.)

The song is from Voltaire. He also has a song called USS Make-S***-Up.

Anyway, I would go Federation. They get the fun miniskirt uniforms. At least they should.

flit with former borg today to prove that i still feel
the Whiskey cuts another cell
I focus on the pain the only thing thats real..
I sit upon odos smiling chair..
full of broken thought i need a good engineer to repair..

Beneath the stains of amok Quarks time
the hangovers disappear
You are some where else
I am still right with beer.
Everyone i know gets beamed away in the end
you are somewhere else right now and i am still here.
and you can have it all my empire of kirk

The feelings disappear..
What have i become
this captain of a ship
I wear this chain of slaves
upon my scared old neck
waiting for an honest Dabo bet.

If i could Warp again a million miles away
I would keep myself with out a tribble in my glass
I would find away..
Burp..

the pvpers will have a starbase. with the zone declared a playnice zone. playnice only for pvp flagged people. the zone will be called "the sandbox". the base will be called "the uss HAXOR".
