Oh holy crap - only TWO WEEKS to Patent Saturday 2012! Hopefully all my outstanding post will 1) arrive in time, and 2) be fully "fit for purpose".

Meanwhile, the Star Trek Online grind-fest continues. All three characters are now either starting the Reputation merry-go-round, or are in the midst of the first round of Tier-building. I think this is all going to take quite a while to get anywhere - but Dilithium rewards for Special Task Force missions have been reinstated, after a fiery tornado of player-rage, so at least the slog for Omega Marks is going to be sweetened a bit. As far as the Romulan Reputation set-up is concerned, the best way to get started seems to be to combine several early missions by doing the "tour" of the transporter sites, unlocking each of them for future use, and doing the first round of "Assist..." missions at each location. Not exactly big or exciting news for non-players, but there you go...

Tomorrow... Question: is the Borg Invasion of Defera worth doing as a source of Omega Marks? This is research I'm going to have to carry out, even though there's no short-cut between Defera and New Romulus, particularly if you're on the Klingon side - but there's a birthday celebration tomorrow, too, so things may be limited. Curse you, real life...!

And finally... Yep. Still no story posts. That plan rather ran aground, didn't it? The story will be live soon, and there will be some kind of "Christmas special" again this year.

Previously...

The headline pretty much says it all. Season 7 is too fucked up for me to want to continue.

Tomorrow, back to things that don't fucking hate me.

And after an hour and a bit of unsatisfying Ultima Online - not the game's fault, blame my general attitude - I went back in... and the fleet I had just abandoned, as a result of a misunderstanding that just managed to "flip my switch", were more than happy to pick up my "contract" again. I hadn't burned my bridges after all, so I should count myself lucky.

We then teamed up to give the Special Task Force mission that started the landslide another go... and we kicked its ass. The difficulty level has still been rather viciously upgraded - but we won. Could that have been the Official response to what appears to be a major annoyance for a whole bunch of players?

And so, to bed. I'll still be taking a semi-break, and maybe advance a few things...
