1&2) Yes, the base eventually got much better defenses after the Dominion became a serious threat, but they were pretty weak there for awhile. And I suppose they didn’t have to worry about invading fleets with a Prophets killing all their enemies for them... So I concede the point (at least after the mines around the…

You’re not a monster. It shouldn’t be any different shooting a dog or a cow. People who will shoot ugly things and not shoot cute things are the ones with the real moral issues.

Oh, I agree that Janeway was worse, and let me apologize if I didn’t make that clear. She demonstrated a lot of incompetence, something that was far more rare with Sisco.

As for DS9 on a whole, it was an excellent show and I did enjoy some of the more rough and tumble aspects of it, though I think they shot themselves…

Was I the only one who thought that the Stormtrooper stun weapon was one of the dumbest things in the movie? Blasters have been pretty effective against Jedi in the past (when you group up on them) and it seems like a Trooper with one of these wouldn’t stand a chance against a real Jedi... of which there is only one…

As a former Trucker, I’m confused about this game. Do you have to stop at weigh stations, find places to weigh your truck after you are loaded, and only drive a certain number of hours before a mandatory span of rest? Driving 16 hours straight is completely illegal for a Truck Driver, so I’m wondering how accurate…

That’s all you’ve got? Pffft! Voyager was trash, to be perfectly honest (though I still watch the series once a year) and Enterprise (while boring initially) bounced back pretty well. As for your points...

- The Doctor: They did make him a bit of a drama queen in the later seasons, but he was the only consistently good…

This I did not know! To be honest, I play in a way where heroes are permanently affected by adventures, so any statuses they receive in dungeon they keep forever (or until it is replaced by something else). The only exception I make is when a hero gets something from one of the services in town (like Syphilis), for…

Perfect! I’ll start out with... Star Trek ‘09 is an abomination because they describe multiple universe theory and time travel as being hand in hand, something that has been explicitly rejected in ever instance of both ever shown on screen, and therefor Star Trek ‘09 is non-canon and should be spit upon with fervor!…

I agree, the kid is just super slow and doesn’t play as often. I play to explore too, I just tend to do it more quickly and will wait for a lull to adjust equipment/skills. I am a bad friend, and I now consider myself to be your bad friend as well!

Good Dungeon Crawling to you then, and a swift and fruitful payday!

Don’t let it, because I think people over-do the difficulty because of sloppy play. Don’t overextend yourself and the game will be difficult but fun. I mean, if you’ve played a basic RPG before you know the type of skills you may want to take in. Healer, Tank, Ranged, and whatever floats your boat. Most characters…

I have one friend in particular who make the experience agonizing. I tried to be the good friend, but the guy would stop constantly to re-examine all of his skills and loot and make adjustments. Honestly he would probably stop for 15 minutes for every hour of game play. I couldn’t move on without him because he wanted…

Also (to add to Punishthefalse’s comment), you go into each dungeon with a very specific goal and you get to choose which dungeon (and goal) you want to take on with your available party members. There will be dead ends that you may have to go into to hit a “Explore 90% of the Rooms” dungeon goal, or it could be…

How DARE you besmirch the good name of Mr. Manning??? He is a God-King, and should you speak ill of him he shall be your DOOM!

THAT is your reply? Ugh... I must have a good imagination! I thought you were going to be clever! Well, clearly it’s not the first time I’ve been disappointed in something...

I thought I was so clever remembering Ord Mantell too... ARRGGHH!!! I bow to you and swear fealty, as you are clearly beyond me in Star Wars recall. I mean it is mentioned twice in the first half of the first movie! I... I can’t... even... (sob)...

Well... time to abandon my love of Star Wars and just devote myself…

DAMMIT! Massive fail on my part! It was the first freaking planet ever mentioned aloud! Oh... I’m going to have to take a length of sword in my guts over this one...

Thank you for being understanding. Honestly, I think the vitriol may have been different if we hadn’t been through a 10 year slump without a Battlefront game. I have no doubt that this game will never be what I want it to be, but I have hope that a sequel will have to address those concerns or be a flop. I don’t know…

Have... have you read the comments? Most comments agree that this is an empty arcade shooter within Star Wars trappings, not a beloved game that encompasses the breadth of the Star Wars universe. There are people who like it, sure. There are people who like Dora the Explorer too. Having a soul is not defined by having…

Well... I suppose that depends on what you consider to be “of note”. There were 6 planets that we actually saw visited, but the game is not limited to those (just as it was not with Sullust). The 6 I am referring to are Yavin 4, Tatooine, Hoth, Dagobah, Bespin, and Endor’s Sanctuary moon. Dantooine, Alderaan, and Ord…
