[STO] Dilithium Tracking 7/4/13

Happy 4th of July to our US players! And if you're not a US player? Well, give me some holidays I should keep on my calendar and what country they're for! You know, I can't quite remember any holidays in Star Trek, but I'm not exactly an expert in trivia and lore. Ah well. Side note: I'm currently playing STO on my laptop, which is running the preview for Windows 8.1. Works great, no issues, except that it seems I've lost some controls for my Skydrive online storage. That's not so bad - its all automatic and I generally want it synced, but that'll definitely affect your connection while up- and down-loading. For instance, its been struggling to upload a 1g+ video file over consumer-grade broadband (I don't even want to think how slow that is), so I've been having rubber-banding while attempting to play. Before I could simply turn it off for the time being, and resume later. Will need to suggest that... Otherwise W8.1 is fine and dandy for me.

Now, onto them charts!

Slide1Well, Captains, we're seeing some minor fluctuations in the Z:D ratio, but overall its nothing dramatic. Enough to be interesting, and can get one a reasonable profit if you're watching closely. Well, assuming you're throwing enough assets around and have some patience. Trading seem a little more up-and-down, but I'm missing a few entries here and there, plus I think we've established there's not necessarily a huge correlation between trading volume and the Z:D rate.

We've got folks on vacation, people romping around in Risa, and generally I think right now is a fun time to be playing.

[STO] PVP as War, PVP as Sport.

In the middle of last year, I read a little on a thread about "Combat as Sport versus Combat as War." It was referencing a very long opinion post for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (currently in development). Intriguing as it was, though, is was concerning a tabletop role-playing game. Could it offer anything worth noting about Star Trek Online's PVP? I think so.

The difficulty of cooperative games.

Sunday afternoons I normally find my self at Paul and Mandy's house. They're a wonderful couple with a wonderful family - gracious and hospitable. The time is often spent playing games of various types - word, card, personality, trivia, etc. We've played Moods, Wizard, Pit, Title Recall, Shout it Out and more, enjoying ourselves the whole time. Its not uncommon for the house to have eight or more people there, visiting, and enjoying each other's company. Much to their credit, as well as the folks who come, its often laid back and everyone is a good sport about winning, losing, and generally just playing. But one thing I was wondering, however, is "are there many cooperative games?" As is, the games we play are typically competitive in nature. The rules set up a system for that competition that everyone has to abide by and goes from there. There is really only one winner, be it an individual or a particular team. Now, that is good, and enjoyable, but "in t...

[STO] Master Keys without spending a dime.

Cryptic/PWE just unveiled the latest lockbox for Star Trek Online: the Temporal Lock Box . Its time-travel themed, with all sorts of neat ships, consoles, etc., both to be won on random chance and via Lobi. You should really take a look - they're very cool looking . Now, given that Master Keys cost $1.25 each (well, less if you buy 10-packs), you might be hesitant to go after them. You might also be leery of the whole lockbox scheme. And, that's understandable. Goodness knows Pavlovian responses aren't limited to just dogs! So, how to play without paying...?
