"(STO) Ten Years of Stuff"
 
   LAST EDITED ON Feb-15-20 AT 01:10 AM (EST)
 
So as some of you may be aware, Star Trek Online is celebrating its ten year anniversary this month. I'm not going to talk too much about that, or the featured episode (except to say it's pretty neat, IMO), or the collection of "hero" ships that's only available as one big expensive bundle. No, I'm here to quote someone from else-board, talking about all the... interesting items that Captains in STO tend to accumulate over a five-year mission or two. I imagine a lot of us have inventories and personal/account banks like this. (Mine, for instance, includes a complete set of anniversary party horns, and a nearly-complete set of almost every extant breed of tribble.)

---

Sometimes I imagine an inspector going through my ship and asking what all the stuff is.
"What's in this box?"
"400 autographed photographs of Q."
"Why?"
*shrug*
"And this one?"
"That's Jimmy."
"Jimmy looks like a torpedo."
"Jimmy is a sentient torpedo, yes."
"And..."
"Timmy."
"Timmy looks like a dinosaur."
"Timmy is a dinosaur."
"Why is this pattern enhancer in a weapons locker?"
"Every once in a while it makes people fall out of time. Wow, you're writing on your clipboard an awful lot."

I wandered back in the other day to see how things had changed since the Iconian War got time travel all over everything. Not only was I hit in the nostalgia, I had the same thought while looking through my inventory, and that was before I used my collection of Zen and Dilithium to get even more stuff.

"EMH Mark 1, Holo-MACO, starship Phoenix Replica, Red Matter device, salvaged Borg weapons, stuff from the Kelvin timeline, pet dinosaur, collection of carefully genetically modified non-breeding tribbles, pet tank, mystical artifact that makes short lived duplicates of the wielder..."

   more from the same poster:
---

"I've taken down bigger men than you with this clipboard."
"I've taken down bigger men than me with this machinegun."
"Which you've been carrying around the ship this whole time."
"It's... It's on stun."
*pen clicks*

(no matter how advanced technology is, the laws of physics require inspectors to have a clickie-top pen and a clipboard, not an electronic device).

   Oh, hey, as another person who jumped back in (after a fashion), please remember to reassign all your traits and skills before attempting...

... well, much of anything, really.

"Captain, I'm reviving you a lot more often than the last time you were on an away mission. Even for you, this is excessive."

"Yeah, I seem to have forgotten *everything*, maybe that Risa vacation was too long, I don't know -- hey! What do you mean, 'even for you'?!"

--sofaspud
--srsly though I haven't logged in since 2015 and apparently left the poor girl on Risa the entire time

   I'm also restarting. Turns out even my hardnosed Fleet-mates weren't willing to kick a Fleet Admiral who'd donated half their fleet base out for being MIA... :-D

They did kick out all my alts though.
