I spent some time making a new animation in Blender! I wanted to make better explosions... Maybe one day I'll get around to learning about lighting.

Enjoy!

My KABOOMs in Blender are looking more kaboom-y, but they're still not where I want them to be.

Found my first-ever purchase from the Internet!

It was still something I had to mail-order, but the address and instructions were online, lol.

And we can call it "Just F'n Around - A Star Trek Series"
4. Enterprise-F show

adapt elements of Star Trek Online's story, including the founding of New Romulus, first contact with the Deferi and Lukari, and the Iconian War.

Here's an idea for a dilsink, @borticuscryptic.bsky.social !

A TFO cooldown timer buyout!

Similar to R&D crafting where you can pay dilithium to skip the wait for an item or a training manual to finish, you could put a "buyout" option on the TFO timer. I'd say more about it, but I'll run out of ch

This is how we get the FAW extension we've wanted for over a decade. In a promo-box.

Sending impossible asks to @counselor-sunna.bsky.social ! :D

In no particular order:

1. Vanity Shield unlock system to replace the inventory slots the individual vanity shields take up
2. Fek-Ihri vanity shield that adds literal flames shooting out of your ship.
3. Pet tab in inventory.

I think they finally patched the floater bug that let you do a quick de-activate that sometimes resulted in "walking on air".

What if #StarTrek #LowerDecks was produced on the heels of TOS?

T6 Patrick Starship coming to #STO when?
🚨 BOLDLY GOING….

Now this isn’t a crossover anyone was expecting!

Things get trippy in a bonkers new #StrangeNewWorlds x #SpongeBobSquarepants promo for P+! 🤯

The best of both world... no, that title's already taken.

Long shot here, but...

Hey
@borticuscryptic.bsky.social , would it be possible for #StarTrekOnline to offer the Mudd ships *INDIVIDUALLY*?

To balance things out, they could be offered at a markup that would still make the bundle more cost-effective. I'd make a longer post, but character limit...

So... are things down right now due to maintenance? I can't even get the #StarTrekOnline launcher to fire up without saying there is an authentication error.

Well, the Shangri-La will certainly complete the Titan trifecta in the game. #STO

The Benthan Assault Cruiser is now a Phoenix ship? I'd probably go for it if the T6 Phoenix ships were reclaimable (correct me if I'm wrong that T6 Phoenix ships are NOT reclaimable)...

But that raises the question, do I really *want* that ship? It's in the Mudd store for too much Zen already.

The time I tried to fix my ship's hull texture in Blender, but was lazy about it:

1. I started out with a base coat in "TOS gray"

I may as well post my Blender stuff here...

First up, we have the Enterprise G (Marc Bell) warping in and cloaking!
