In Boston Harbor, the 44-gun United States Navy frigate USS Constitution was launched on October 21, 1797.

Lt. Mercy Cross <3

I had my favorite artist Jellolas! (https://toyhou.se/jellolas) create her because I've been RPing/headcanoning for her for quite awhile but haven't been able to finish or draw her.

Mercedes Cross (Mercy) is a a lieutenant communication officer and a human. She is 25 years old and is a very airy and soft spoken individual. She's aboard the USS Trinity (an original ship I made for her and Sekir).

She has albinism causing her pale skin, white hair and redish/pink eyes (having poor eyesight).

She's a very soft and cute individual when she talks, but she enjoys just listening, sitting around and letting people vent at her.

She's dating the ship's doctor Sekir (who is a Romulan masquerading as a Vulcan, this is based on like, TOS Romulans when they practically just looked like Vulcans. He honestly just wants a good life and be amongst the stars.) Anyways, yeah! She's hella cute <3 I'm glad to show her off and will draw some art of her myself I just haven't had time/energy.

A thing I like to do with ensemble shows, is imagining who would be who on a Star Trek spaceship. So...

The ship would obviously be called USS Pittsburg. Affectionately known as The Pitt, because it's an old boat, that's falling apart in places. They always gets shitty assignments that no one else wants too, and that causes further damage that they have to deal with.

The Captain is, obviously, Robby. Captain Robby, has almosst as nice ring to it, as Doctor Robby yes/yes?

I took a moment of pondering, and decided that his first officer would be Heather Collins. She's also a science officer, who doesn't have the time for much sciencing, because of all her XO duties. Oh! She's just taken over that role from Jack Abbot, who had to resign due to treatment resistant depression.

Frank Langdon doesn't strike me as captain's Number One, even though the show's Robby calls Langdon his best resident. I feel he has too much restless energy (or maybe it's RedBull). So, he would be the ship's navigator and a pilot, prone to taking too many risks (that are absolutely necessary though ;) ).

I see Samira Mohan as the ship's Doctor, who's constantly arguing with Captain Robby about his lack of concern for his crew's safety and wellbeing. In my AU, Captain Robby has utmost respect for Doctor Mohan. Kiara Alfaro is the Counselor, of course.

Cassie McKay gets the role of Chief Engineer and she's closely assisted by her smart and cute deputy Mateo.

Now. The "newcomers".

My baby (and your baby too, I know) Melissa King (everyone calls me "Mel") is the communications officer. Also, she's Sunshine and maybe a Trill? Right, I have to think about the races too, but mayhaps I'll do it in another post.

Trinity Santos, I think, would fit the position of Tactical Officer. She's fresh out of Academy and thinks she knows everything. Problem is, the position was formerly occupied by Jack Abbot and expectations are high.

And two Cadets, Dennis Whitaker and Victoria Javadi. Dennis is learning to become a doctor, but is not yet. He gets assigned to the Med Bay, because Doctor Mohan demanded someone be there to help her when shit hits the fan, what happens fairly often. Dennis mostly plays the role of a nurse.

Victoria was supposed to be assigned to the Science Division, but since Heather doesn't have the time to teach her at the moment, she goes to Engineering, to be under Chief McKay's supervision.

Also, we have Dana Evans, whom I also considered for the position of Number One, but decided against it. She's the supply officer, and, mostly as a hobby that's partially related to her job, she made the mess hall into a more friendly place than is common on starships. Yes, replicators still dispense food, but Dana makes sure to talk to the crew, add some "real" thing here and there. Sometimes she cooks too.

And Yolanda Garcia is a second pilot, who sometimes clashes with Langdon.

What do you think of all this? Agreed? Not agreed? Not interested?

I think I've realized why I struggle so much to roleplay in Fallout 4, even when trying to play within the boundaries of the limited dialogue system.

It's because of the map design.

Fallout 4's world is built for the gameplay loop of a looter shooter. Diamond City, in terms of gameplay, feels a lot closer to Sanctuary from Borderlands 2 than the New Vegas Strip, or even Rivet City. In Fallout 4, you have half a dozen quest hubs (one for each faction and then a few major towns), and all other locations are dungeons with enemies to kill and items to loot, or the occasional workshop. Yes, there are places like Trinity Tower or the USS Constitution with quests in them, but most of them are limited to the downtown region and the player is often directed to them from Diamond City anyways (and as has been observed many times, these quests are usually going to a place to either shoot or collect something)

Compare this to New Vegas, where (on top of a far more open dialogue system) each location has at least one, usually multiple, situations your character can respond to in myriad ways - crucially, situations that involve more dialogue than shooting or collecting. Where those situations aren't immediately apparent (such as in most of the Vaults) it's usually because a quest is pointing you there. The map is built around a gameplay loop of a story driven game rather than a combat driven one.

Scott Tracy’s phone album:

… well, actually mine, but given that my phone did an “airplanes from over the years,” here you go.

In order of location, from top left, then zigzagged her it in order via swipe:

1. New Mexico Museum of Space History, Alamogordo, New Mexico.

2. Silent Wings Museum, Lubbock, Texas (though planes are from all over.) Museum is in the original Lubbock Airport.

3. Texas Air Museum, Slaton, Texas. This is a T-34 Mentor plane that I mention in the Lexington chapter that I can say is completed and won’t change.

4-7. USS Lexington, Corpus Christi, Texas.

Pics 4&5 are on the Hangar Deck and the other two flight deck. Unfortunately due to them having to move the planes on the flight deck for a rodeo (yes - rodeo) I can’t tell you which is which but I know at least 2 if not all are mentioned in the story. (ETA: I do see the signs but I’m not 100% sure they’re with the correct plane.)

8. For some bizarre reason it included mock ups from the New Mexico Museum of Space History. (Please keep in mind the Trinity Project was tested in the state, so it does have some military history too).

Hope you enjoy.

Jesus is God and More truth.

Jesus is God and God is Jesus. Jesus and God are one in the same of the trinity. God is the father, the son and the holy spirit. There 3 persons working together in communion on the same goal.

Jesus is king, he is the most righteous king ever. He is the almighty king. He is not evil. Yaweh is not evil. He is the most holy and pure king ever. He is the most kindest God ever.

God has many names Yaweh, rapha, elohim and shaddai, jireh and addonai.

God made us in his image.. he made our.. genetic code 10565 YHWH he made us with his own genetic code and poured it into us...

Soo that being saidd God created uss we did not evolve at alll he made uss.

When adam and eve bit into the apple under the devils temptation and lies the image had gotten distorted .

Thus distorting the image that God had made..therefore corrupting mankind with sin..though through christ sacrifice our sins had been paid off..that doesnt mean to go willy nilly and sin and do that no..us humans still need to ask for forgiveness and repent..though he still will..forgive us and welcome us.

We are all worthy of God's love and mercy no matter what the devil or satan or lucifer or Beezlebub or the evil one tells you, we are all worthy of God's everlasting forgiveness and love and his mercy and grace.

Everyone can repent and change their ways and come back to christ everyone can. Its not too late everyone can come to God. Everyone can come back to christ its not too late. You can pray and repent and ask God for forgiveness its not to late. The devil tells you it is but its not its really not. You have the power to say no to the devil, you have the power to rebuke the devil. You can say no to him. You can open your eyes and see the blessings and the gifts that God has given to you.

Im saying now..and im saying this now whatever the devil has promised you its all lies..its all lies by..the devil. He keeps promising you these things that arent ever going to happen..have you ever felt like you really want this one thing..and when you keep asking for it, it never happens..its nothing but lies.

The only person who will give you what you need is God. Its Yaweh, yaweh will provide you with what you need..you all say *well God doesnt answer my prayers* yes..yes..he does, he does..if you will only be patient and wait..and read the bible and believe in him and trust him..he does.

God answers your prayers no matter what..he does it on his time..us humans..think thats how God operates but its not true..he does not operate on our own time..he operates on his time..thats why i said be patient..and wait..

If you would..only wait..you will see the blessings even..while waiting if you ever had a thought that said *hah see God doesnt love you he didnt answer your prayer* dont listen..thats the devil tempting you..thats the evil one..putting doubt in your head..just tell him no..and tell him thats not true..he will eventually go away..he will.

God does whats best for people and his children..God loves everyone and he will never stop loving you..

The devil is hiding amonst people, he is hiding because he knows his time is up. He knows his time is coming to an end. Should we disrespect him, no we should respect the devil. Should we underestimate him, no we should not underestimate him. Should we fear him? No we shouldn't fear him. Should we be anxious about speaking the truth, no no we shouldn't.

The devil is in constant fear so when we feel fear about things its either the devil or the demons projecting their fear on us. Sometimes its our own fear. But when you have that spurse of random fear out of nowheres remember its the demons and the devil projecting their fear onto us. Just like emotions they project their emotions onto us.

With God on our side their is nothing to fear. If jesus is for us who is against us? No one because we have no one to fear.

You all have..a blessed..day and may God bless you guys..

Jack Builds Spaceboats: The Hyperion, Part 2: Stayin' Alive

Disclaimer: I am not an expert on this game, and some information I present may be erroneous.

So you may recall that I described the Hyperion as a "BFAW Psuedotank." Now that we've addressed the "BFAW" part, let's talk about what the flying fuck I meant by "psuedotank."

First, an explanation: the traditional MMO trinity of Tank/Healer/DPS does not exist in STO, as such. "But Jack!" I hear a convenient strawman cry, "Surely Engineering/Science/Tactical" equates to that!"

The truth is much more complicated. Namely that, in space, whether your captain is Tactical, Science, or Engineering matters relatively little; the ship you're on matters a lot more. And while it's true that Science has a lot of debuff cleanses, shield heals, heals, and debuffs, and that Science-focused ships can slot more of these abilities, where Science ships really shine is what is affectionately called "space magic." Creating artificial gravity wells to gather all one's enemies into a single place, draining all their power, crushing them to death, and then blasting the remains with a massive volley of AOE torpedoes out of spite, for example.

Most STO players, in my experience, will tell you that outside of specific coordinated high-tier play, the traditional role of "tanking" does not exist. In STO, the idea of tanking generally means "mitigating damage by blowing everything up before it has a chance to shoot you."

That said, there's something to be said for being able to take one on the chin without ending up like the USS Grissom.

Engineering captains have this relatively easy, since they get access to the Captain ability "Miraculous Repairs" which gives you a significant hull heal, good shield heal, and some temporary secondary shielding to boot. Trouble is, it has an appropriately long cooldown (barring a trait that refreshes it if you take a huge chunk of damage in a short amount of time, before that trait itself goes on cooldown).

The Hyperion, in addition to having an Engineering captain, is constantly using the lowest-rank ability of Auxiliary Power to Structural Integrity, which is a tiny heal (2k out of the Hyperion's 91k hull points), but has a quick cooldown. This is not actually for healing purposes, but to proc some offensive bonuses I get through the Miracle Worker and Strategist specializations that give me buffs when I use or receive healing. The ability Engineering Team is likewise at its lowest rank, offering a mere 4k of healing - it's primarily there for its ability to cleanse Engineering debuffs (such as Viral Impulse Burst; fuck you, House Mo'Kai). The Hyperion's primary source of healing is Hazard Emitters at its highest rank, which offers 10k hitpoints over 15 seconds combined with a Duty Officer that restores 0.2% of the ship's total hull every time a weapon fires so long as the ability Attack Pattern: Beta is up, which, naturally, is on constant rotation.

Between the above and the ability Tactical Team (which automatically reinforces shield facings when they take damage during its duration), the Hyperion can typically handle deliberately drawing the aggro it both wants to (to use Redirecting Arrays to maximize Beams: Fire At Will's uptime) and inevitably will regardless.

Should she get a little overwhelmed, well, there's still Miraculous Repairs.

Another bit keeping my beloved Hyperion in one piece is the starship trait History Will Remember. I keep this trait on literally all of my builds, because it's just so useful. For each individual enemy that damages the ship, she gains +1% damage, +1% hull regen, and +1% maximum hull points. This bonus can stack up to 30 times, and you keep all stacks until you map move. It also generates additional aggro if you have Threatening Stance active, but that's not helpful to the topic of keeping the ship in one piece.

Fuck a duck, I damn near forgot a key part of the Hyperion's defenses: the Shield Absorptive Frequency Generator. This beautiful bit of gear does something truly special: If a shield face is below 90% strength, every shot (not every volley, every shot) of an energy weapon has a 2.5% chance to restore shields for 200% of the outgoing damage. Remember how BFAW doubles the amount of shots you make per volley? Under BFAW, her beam arrays deal about 3.5k damage, and she has about 20k shields per facing. That one piece of gear does a LOT of legwork, and requires very little explanation/justification to boot.

So, this all makes her sound pretty tanky, you might think. To that, I would caution you that in terms of durability, a high-tier dedicated tank build makes the Hyperion look like she's made out of tissue paper, and the majority of her build is focused towards maximizing damage. Thus, I call her a "psuedotank."

Star Trek: Pitch & Guide> Guide Part 3--The Enterprise Trinity

BW Media Spotlight's continued mission through Star Trek: Pitch & Guide> Guide Part 3--The Enterprise Trinity

Back in the pitch part of this subseries of story bible/writer’s guide reviews, we looked at the crew of what was then the SS Yorktown, who would become the USS Enterprise crew in the original pilot. Of course only one of them would make it to the pilot that was actually picked up, “Where No Man Has Gone Before” (and yet the story about the shapeshifting salt vampire siren was the first aired,…

[eveningspirit]

Hello! And welcome to my The Pitt Star Trek AU :)  This is Part Two. 

In this part I shall try to figure out the Star Trek Universe races for all the main (and maybe some important background) characters, as well as their ranks. As a reminder – The Pitt is officially known as USS Pittsburg. It’s an old boat, that should probably be decommissioned, but uh. Captain Robby served on her under Captain Adamson and he’s not ready to let her go yet. The Pitt is falling apart a little, but her crew patches her up enough to let her pass tests and examinations at the spacedocs. 

Also, someone in the admiralty must dislike Robby, because they often send The Pitt on shitty assignments and all the damage sustained during those assignments doesn’t help her condition either. 

Anyway. Let’s get to the chase. 

Captain Michael "Robby" Robinavitch is a human in my mind. I’ll gladly accept constructive crit on that, though. As I will for all the other characters ;) Bring it! 

Commander Heather Collins formerly a science officer, now the ship’s 2IC, is Bajoran. 

Lt. Commander Frank Langdon navigator and pilot, as well as the ships 3IC (as suggested by lovely @magnetic-rose , thank you) is... well that one I can’t quite decide. He could be human, I guess. Although I’m tempted to give him some sort of weird Illyrian or El-Aurian provenance. IDK. 

Lt. Commander Yolanda Garcia (should have a different name) is IMO, of one of the more aggressive races (or part of that race, actually). IDK, half-Klingon, half-Romulan, half-Cardassian even... Oh! I know! She’s half-Cardassian, half-Bajoran, raised on Bajor, but her Cardassian genes make her act up. I had her pegged as the ships second pilot, but now (after the 4th episode) I think she’d be better suited as the tactical officer. 

Doctor Lieutenant Samira Mohan the ship's very capable doctor, strikes me as Vulcan. 

Kiara Alfaro is a civilian counselor and a human. 

Lieutenant Cassie McKay the Chief Engineer of The Pitt I’d rather see as human as well... 

Petty Officer 1st Class Mateo Diaz(?) ...but her assistant could be, say, Orion. Or. It could be the other way around. Or, some other race. Let me remind you, I’ll appreciate any (well, most) suggestions. 

Lieutenant Melissa King I'm-- Yeah, I don’t think I’ll want to change that one, though. ;) Mel, the communications officer feels like Trill to me. I’m just not sure what would be the Symbiont’s name, and what would be the name of the before-the-Symbiosis Trill. But I’ll figure it out.  

Ensign Trinity Santos she was slated as the tactical officer, but with Garcia stepping up to that position (it makes more sense to not have a fresh-out-of-Academy Ensign as weapons specialist), Santos would be Garcia’s protege coming onboard. I thought she could be a Romulan (depending on the time period where my story would take place; if I’m not mistaken Romulans were in alliance with Starfleet at some point? I may be wrong, of course, so feel free to correct me), but with Garcia advancing to the main cast, Santos could be Cardassian, or Cardassian-Bajoran too. 

Master Chief Petty Officer Dana Evans the supply officer could be human. Or Lanthanite, I guess. I love that sense of her being something more, some larger presence onboard The Pitt, extending way beyond. Other than her being a thousand years old, she might instead be a Betazoid. 

Cadet Dennis Whitaker and Cadet Victoria Javadi feel like humans. For now, at least. Oh, Javadi’s parents (as—again—suggested by @magnetic-rose) are both Admirals. 

All the nurses, Perlah, Princess, Jesse, Donnie, IDEK, should also be humans, I think. Because, after all, The Pitt hails from Earth. Unless she doesn’t. 

I’m beginning to have the barest bones of the fic plot, so watch this space for updates. :)
