Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your summary of various issues both in Europe and USA. I am also grateful to you for all the additional material you supply to us, the sponsors. Why is this, because I teach at University and one of my up and coming lectures is on terrorism and I will be dipping in to your material for the lecture – really good, thoughtful and critical stuff (technical word). I will, of course, be referencing you as a good academic should!

Hey Chris,

I am a big fan of LAS, Tech Snap, and Coder Radio. I was thinking of getting a couple of gift \’cards\’ from Think Geek as gifts this year but I was a little concerned that JB wouldn\’t get credit for that since the recipients might not be using the browser extensions(although I do install them on any computer a family member asks me to work on). Do you know if gift card purchases count as affiliate purchases?

I am also a subscriber through amazon. You guys are the best monthly value I get for the cost of lunch at Taco Bell. Keep up the big, awesome shows every week!

Tom Writes:

Here are some names I came up with for the chat room. Personally I like the first one in my list best.

Jupiter Echo – as when you call out, we respond… or on odd occasion correct Chris
Jupiter Voice – community\’s voice
Medium3 – medium as in speech / writing, 3 as lower third
Medium Squared
Third Cast
Inter-third
Multi-voice
Chatisphere
Infinitalk
Chat Nation
Jupiter Hangout
Jupiter League
Triverse – Combination of Tri and Universe
Trivoice

Alvin writes:

Does your Newegg affiliate link work with newegg.ca? I\’m in Canada and often make purchases through newegg.ca.

When I use your Newegg link (at the bottom of the JB page), Newegg asks if I want to use newegg.ca. When I do, I cannot tell if my purchase will be attributed to your affiliate link. Would your firefox extension be the better option?

Keep up the great work!

The post Gift Ideas 2012 | FauxShow 118 first appeared on Jupiter Broadcasting.

We get hands-on with Season 2 of Star Trek Online and cover the new game play updates coming to the game!  Was Dabo worth the dev time?  Is Diplomacy chalk full of excitement, or a big old bore?  And what about the fleet emblems, slipstream drive, and missions galore?  We'll share the details in this first look at the new content that's landed on Tribble.

We'll cover the news you might have missed, including the fact that the latest Ask Cryptic mentions FaceBook integration!  Does this tie in to the controversy over Blizzard's RealID fiasco, or did Cryptic do it right?

PLUS – We've got your suggestions on improving the way you warp around in Star Trek Online … it's your Sector Space improvement ideas!

Answer to "grandfathered" Science Consoles (pre-nerf):  https://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?p=2816988#post2816988

    * Labeled as "Prototype" but otherwise now identical to other existing consoles.

    * Sell for increased Latinum (for Dabo) or keep and perform the same as everyone else.

Possibility of starting new "second generation" characters, to use new races: https://forums.startr ekonline.com/showthread.php?p=2824968#post2824968

    * "… so think of a bundle pack where you get a new playable species, with a char slot, and you start at Captain… that sort of thing… "

Ask Cryptic:  Season 2.0 and beyond  — https://www.startrekonline.com/node/1888

    * FaceBook integration coming soon.

MATH:

(NO MATH)

EDITORIAL:

To copy your character to Tribble and try out these features for yourself: 

https://www.startrekonline.com/test-shard/character-transfer

First Look at 2.0 Features:

Klingon Missions:

    * 2 @ lvl 12, 2 @ lvl 20, 4 @ lvl 30

    * Fek'ihri:  https://bit.ly/bAB1UV

Fleet Emblems:

    * Background + 2 layers.  Kinda lame.  Hoping for at least 5 layers total, if at all possible.  And more vibrant colors.

Slipstream Drive:

    * Available at the current level cap (Vice Admiral / Dahar Master)

    * When engaged, it scoots you along at a "Full Impulse" type speed, in Sector Space.

Dabo:

    * Social, sorta:  You can see others' bets and winnings.

                 — Chat server was offline while we tested, but we'll probably see a lot of talking in the Dabo area once it's LIVE.

    * Several Accolades linked to Dabo (for betting 1000 credits, or winning 100,000 latinum, for example)

    * Dabo Rewards: https://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h171/Maccers0484/holos.jpg

    * Holographic ship costumes have a 15min cooldown and you lose the look if you are defeated.  Fit in a device slot.

    * Shot of Bort as a Jem'Haddar: ( https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/JRandall/BortHoloShip.jpg )

Scanning Mini-Game:

    * Designed by ThomasTheCat.

    * Use the arrow keys (U D L R) to refocus the red wave to match the blue one before the 'noise' reaches the right-hand side (~5 seconds)

    * If you 'lose' nothing is different from the usual harvesting. 

    * If you 'win' you get extra resources and an increased % chance of finding rare harvests.

    * Scanning Mini-game:  https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/JRandall/waveform-harvesting-minigame.jpg

    * Rare Harvest:  https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/JRandall/rareharvest.jpg

Fed Diplomatic Corps:

    * You get new "FDC XP" for completing ANY non-combat mission.  Approx 10xp per mission.

    * First Contact missions give more if you do them 'right' (impress the Ambassador)

    * Rank 2 of FDC (req 160 FDC XP) is supposed to be achieved around lvl 10 (Lt Comm)

                 — First Contact is open for testing @ lvl 2 on Tribble.

    * First Contact = Talk to 3 diplomats, answer questions.  Like a more well-written version of the infamous "Miners Quiz" mission.

    * There are also missions on Bajor, Vulcan and Memory Alpha.  All approximately similar.  Talk to people, answer questions.   

    * Diplomatic Lounge:  https://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h171/Maccers0484/diplomacy.jpg

    * Diplomatic Uniform Reward:  https://forums.startrekonline.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3913&d=1276562768

New Borg and Undine Missions:

    * Received @ lvl 45 from a new contact (Fed & KDF)

    * Pelia Sector Block added "west" of Gamma Orionis ( https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/JRandall/PeliaSectorBorder.jpg   )

    * One of the missions includes boarding a Cube

                 — Borg wandering the cube hallways begin as non-aggressive, but do not use AOE abilities or they will come after you!

                 — Opening a specific doorway spawns a group + node to kill.  Nearby Borg will also aggro.

    * Other mission involves boarding a Romulan vessel.

    * There is also a Fluidic Space Fleet Action ( https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/JRandall/FluidicSpaceFA.jpg )

                 — Could not access at this time.

    * Pelia Sector is sporting the new "revamped" Sector look:  ( https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/JRandall/NewSector1.jpg )

MAIL:

We asked:  How would you revamp Sector Space?  (or replace?  or remove?)

Common requests:

* Allow for course plotting from your bridge/interior, with timers to tell you when you've arrived at your destination.

    dehensley:  "Take the WoW analogy one step further:  Sector Space is riding your horse from one side of the world to the other.  Give us a Taxi service similar to WoW's flightpaths as an OPTION."

    — NEGATIVES:

                 ** Lack of social interaction (even SEEING other ships is a form of interaction).

                 ** How do you solve for DSEs?  Do they just go away?

                 ** What if you're in a team?  All on one bridge, or isolated on your own?

* Abolish zonelines!  Just DO it, and take whatever steps are necessary.

* Make it larger.  Not just by getting rid of zonelines, but also increase the space between systems, and overall travel time.  Make it feel more EPIC.

* More exploration.  Either integrate 'unexplored clusters' into more central locations (instead of tucking them into the corners), or implement more random 'distress call' type missions while traveling at Warp.

Specific ideas:

zeroBANG: "Star streaks."  That's it.  Simple.

plunkett:  "Ditch the lollipops and blue streaks.  Make systems look less generic, shrink the suns and expand the planet orbits if necessary."

bettyblue: "Integrate navigation directly into your mission journal, so that making a mission your primary sets your course to the nearest objective."

rikturscale:  "Allow fewer nearby systems to be visible – the rest lost in 'fog of war' – but load ALL dynamically on the fly, to eliminate hardstops and zoning."  Also… stop calling it "Sector Space" — just call it "Warp."

pricepreston:  "More variance in DSEs, including boarding parties (ship interior combat) and random engine malfunctions (mini-games)."

Epic thread is epic:  https://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=147319&referrerid=89867 (blackavaar)

    Includes:

                 * Redesigned map key

                 * Clearer zone transition areas

                 * Adjustable course plots for transitions

                 * Advanced course settings

                               — Choose multiple destinations with "pause" and "resume" functions

                 * PICTURES!  PICTURES!  PICTURES!

• “Exclusives” are no longer “Exclusive” — but this happens all the time in the gaming industry 
• Some are given more value than others (Costume Packs = 280pts, Classic Constitution = 800pts)
• Many items not available (Automated Defense Turret, Red Matter Capacitor, and more)
• Just too damn many items on the C-Store!  Stop ‘bleeding’ your customers!

• Enable this as an OPTION to make ground combat more hands-on feeling
• Re-work targeting so it is more like mouse-aim, but with an MMO ease 
• (pic: https://www.imagebanana.com/img/1tzv8udl/GameClient2010061520190055.jpg)

• Re-work kit powers so that they can have secondary special effects (eg, Gas attack + Plasma grenade = bigger explosion)

Rikturscale:

• Offer enemies a chance to surrender.  Allow enemy capture to give Fed Diplomatic XP (and a Klingon equivalent?)
• Check on your prisoners in the brig, with the possibility of opening new missions via questioning them (Genesis type content?)

• Bleeds/Poisons/Debuffs should have a more noticable impact on combat (giving you a reason to use “cure” kits/consumables)
