You simply ponder your orbs while everything dies around you, I love the Defect so much (The Silent is fun too)!

That being said once you get a feel for the movement, it feels very fluid and there's so many options to maneuver that you rarely ever feel like you have no options to escape, reposition, or flank opponents which is fun- it's just got a learning curve on par with Mario 64's movement tech, imo

It's very movement intensive, with a lot of emphasis on finding new tech to get around the map faster so that you can farm more efficiently to scale faster than your opponents do. It's tough to juggle learning that, and your character, and how to build that character to be viable with items.

I assure you the only reason I'm not more active online is because my computer has been broken for months now, otherwise I'd love to be yapping and playing games with ya <3! Glad to hear you're hanging with irl friends though!

Also Benjamin Sisko would probably travel back in time to punch this asshats teeth out for tarnishing his ships reputation in the future, similar to how he decked the omnipotent Q for just wasting his time and not giving him a straight answer. DS9 is the best Trek and I will forever die on this hill

This thing will never be built because the Battleship has been obsolete for decades since aircraft carriers exist and you can make smaller specialized ships to fulfill the roles that a battleship would provide for much cheaper and in larger quantities. This is a vanity project to waste time/money.

Oh hell no they didn't dub the model the "USS Defiant" (the name of Star Trek DS9's prototype battle cruiser -- a highly improbable coincidence). You do not get to co-opt my socialist utopia fiction for your fascist propaganda.

I've grown a lot over that decade but it's hard to not feel like a lot of things around me are getting worse, more difficult, more cynical, more ugly, I don't want to let the whimsy in my heart die
