In my last story, I criticized Cryptic for lack of tweets. Turns out, I just couldn’t find them. They were there! They just ported it straight over from Champions! Sorry Cryptic. I will try to be a keen observer of neatly hidden features in future. To access this, among other things such as your Fleet… [Continue Reading]

However, the totality of my mail experience with STO remains… [Continue Reading]
