I've not even checked if there's any new goals, something for tomorrow I guess

I mean it should be obviously one has hundreds neigh on thousands of dollars of upgrades and the other doesn't, but like god damn.
It does amuse me my Jem captain is only to feed my greater character, just like the Jem people in general.

As far as I can tell, there's not really much in it bar probably completing the colony a bit faster?
I think there are a few different small bonuses for the fleet itself, though.

Overall, I get why people say why running the patrol twice is faster than the TFO, but I had fun with it, though it drags a bit. Trick with the Skeletons, that are inmune outside the candle circles, is to just use the Disco rep vaccum and Paradox Bomb, which are amazing and do a lot of damage so should run them anyways, specially the first one. First one drags them to you, second drags them to where the enemy that you hit with it is, so got to be careful to not mess up and drag things outside the circles, but that's manageable.
Oh and yeah, you are shit out of luck if a skeleton clips into a wall.
Since they nerfed/fixed Trauma Response I actually have to cast shield heals on my allies/pets now to get the juicy +75% shield penetration, but that's annoyingly fiddly to target.
I mean, ideally there would be some sort of AoE shield heal ability that could give me both, but it's been a while and I don't remember off-hand.

Edit: Checking the notes on wiki page for the trait Trauma Responseapparently the Align Shield Frequencies Miracle Worker ability provides at least one of the buffs, the description is a little vague on if it means both bonuses are applied even if no ally is hit. Would give you one option if you have a Miracle Worker seat available.
Also the Dauntless 2 is as ugly as it is amazing at doing its job. Its a sci command ship with a carrier wing, and the console seems to have a lot of bang for your buck on top of being really visually satisfying.

If Align Shield Freqs does do both, it doesn't seem to count carrier pets, because I only get the heal-self bonus for using it with them in the AoE.
Will have to see about ITB

however I can't access my bank, admirality, duty roster, etc... is there a timer/progression requirement for new characters? I don't remember having this issue before.
the menus open, but there's nothing to select or anything.

now I can dump these polaron things into this guy! yay. I'm going to try and stick with purple flavor. I have some Vaadwuar weapon boxes and junk lying around.

Maybe it's one of those bigger when you consider the internal volume, but smaller in overall external size things?
Looking at the ships, the Dauntless'...well, not "saucer section"... door stop maybe? is a big blocky section that looks like it's got a dozen+ decks in it. And the warp nacelles are all tucked up under the doorstop close into the engineering hull.
The Protostar is all stretched out and seems like it has fewer decks.
Or maybe they just tried to size the ships closer together because putting them to scale would have the Dauntless be absolutely huge, or the Protostar tiny.
At least, I'm pretty sure that's a Dauntless class there.
It is that's from the show, but like in the game the two ships are of similar size and they really aren't supposed to be at least as far as the cannon. Especially as the Dauntless 2 is a carrier. It doesn't super bug me as it zips around at its size, but I hadn't seen how big its supposed to be until I saw a clip of it from Prodigy and yeah its supposed to be larger by far.
I will say between the two the protostar doesn't look cartoonish in game, but the Dauntless 2 with its small aft and almost comically undersized nacelles is very funny.
All this being said I need to watch prodigy apparently!

Embracer Group's implosion restructuring continues apace.
Embracer doesn't own daybreak right? So sell cryptic to them, that way they can add another whale game to sustain to their platform?

STO is basically free money on a skeleton crew at this point. There's no-one to lay off, and if you did, the money printer might get sad, so why bother.

Was catching up on the things I didn't do and I saw this:
I don't think there's been a Star Trek series that hasn't had any kind of major time travel shenanigans even after this content released (2018), so species stumbling on examples of violations of the temporal prime directive and not being surprised really rings true.
In game wise this weekend is junior office weekend?

I'm also feeling crazy and might record a video on the dauntless 2 for the youtubes since I swear I can't find shit on the ship and I think its kind of neat? I've been broken

I want to say within a hundred. But I had previously pulled 50 on infinite boxes before the drop so I dunno if that has like a bad luck save or something?
But like full disclosure I spent 300 dollars to get the ship. Not all the money went into keys and not all the keys went to lock boxes, but I got the drop I didn't buy it on the AH like a smart person would. But I wanted to boost my lobi crystals because I'm fucking dumb lets just say
pleasepaypreacher.net
Someone did a deep dive on this a year or so ago, and the drop rate goes from 0.7% to 7% after the first 140 packs.
