    I guess plenty of people complained about the Disco Rifle being for one toon only... xD

    ...also, it is about time they fixed the crazy cooldown bug on backpack weapon swapping.

    General:
    • The Platinum Discovery Era Sniper Rifle from the Cryptic 20th Anniversary Pack can now be reclaimed on all characters.
    • Resolved an issue that was causing weapons to be on cooldown for up to 50 minutes when equipping them from the inventory.
    Mission cutting up again... I swear the story arc is a jigsaw puzzle at this point...

    Not a bad list overall. Nice to see they will be giving credit for saving all 15 civilians (methinks Sugihara's been stingy with the dilithium...) and updating the old Delta recruit requirements (hopefully without breaking the storyline).

    I'm a bit surprised about the platinum rifle becoming reclaimable, but I will happily accept additional shiny pew pew sticks.

    Well, they fixed it. A few weeks back, when I last looked, he was missing on New Romulus (best feature of being Romulan: No ESD Commie-Chat).

    I guess you have never seen him as G'Kar in Babylon 5, he was legendary.

    B5 was great, they kind of stumbled with season 5, though. It was like they weren't sure where to go from the end of season 4.

    Ah! Big big B5 fan here - of the level of getting someone from Australia to send him vcr tapes of episodes so he could stay ahead of the releases locally. Gosh that takes me back... Anyhoo...

    B5 was always meant to be a five year story arc - the general plot and major events were planned well in advance. But after a while, it became quite uncertain if it was ever going to be renewed for a fifth year, so JMS had to cram in the major plot items into year four. And of course it did get renewed... So if season 5 feels a bit like it was tacked on, it is because it was.

    Also - DS9 was such a rip off of B5, I still get pretend angry about it (I love both). Sadly, B5 had less than half the budget DS9 did and it definitely did not age as well.
