    I've got a spare Inferno armor code. Would like to trade for a Terminus armor code if possible.

    I listed every achievement which is known for sure. Anything more than that is probably a spoiler. I'd bet money on the ally achievements counting for something though.

    Plot points seem to give way more XP than any enemy. ::edit:: I just got my code for Inferno armor.

    Same here---2 plays on same character, ended on 59. Level 60 WILL get a specific bonus in ME 2. AFAIK the bonuses are for levels 40, 50, and 60. And they are picky--you have to have won with the character. I started yet one more playthrough and just blew through to Therum, and got Liara in the party in barely over an hour and hit level 60, as the beginning of the game has a TON of plot XP points. But it would have taken hours and hours and hours of playing at the end of the previous playthrough to go from 59 to 60. So I got my level 60 achievement/gamer score, but it won't count for ME 2. I've heard of people starting at 54 and not making it to 60. I went from 51 to 59. (and that's with every XP bonus there is) Another known bonus in ME 2 is for the "rich" achievement--but that's easy to get before the end of the very first playthrough. I actually died less on Insanity than Hardcore. Either I got better, or Colossus armor made all the difference.

    No new thread. And people better spoiler-proof EVERYTHING.

    Don't hide your cables. Visible cables are a manly thing. A dozen or two black cables snaking across the wall to the back of a TV says "I don't care about feng-shui or some sense of wall-aesthetic, I care about image quality and direct connections". Heck, I have brightly-colored cables so I know where each one's going. (My PS3 cable is blue, X360 is green, etc)

    Personally, I think tons of cables everywhere all going to a TV is a beautiful thing.

    I think I found the flight. Will have to see how the tracking info updates.

    No, the "play from the HDD" file is separate from all the other files associated with the game. I install and delete every week. (man, I wish I had room for 2 games at once)

    Final day, went on a tour of the galaxy. Klingon space isn't open though. Anyways; The badlands: Hobus supernova remains (I think): Remains of Romulus: Me dying up against a Romulan squadron: Bajoran wormhole was open when I went to DS9 again. It closed after a minute or two: Then I found the most fun mission ever! I saw some Federation ships marked as "enemy contact" just a bit "east" of Bajor, so I had to investigate. The mission said Reman, but they seemed to be renegade Starfleet. Neat stuff here. Saw my first Defiant-class: This is me about to die against a +19 Sovereign-class: This is me dying against 2 Sovereigns, a Luna, a Sol, and probably something else: The Prometheus killed me so fast I couldn't get a pic of it. Did you know they can do over 22,600pts of damage in a single attack? Yeah. I didn't even get a "rear shields failing" warning, I just went straight from 100% to a big flaming ball... This is me taking down a Sovereign class. (with a little help from a Defiant, some Norways, and an Akira)

    That's nothing. I check flights into my airport from the shipping hubs, trying to watch for delays. Flightaware.com Memphis is KMEM, for FedEx. Louisville is KSDF, for UPS.

    Wooh. <<<<<<<<<< Status: In Transit - On Time Scheduled Delivery Date: 01/26/2010 <<<<<<<<<<<<

    Found the biggest fleet and ground groups so far, very fun. Probably be about the last thing I experience though. (I still don't plan on buying it---the missions seem to be just cut and paste copies of each other, and still no Excelsior/Ambassador/Nebula class---and if they come out later, what's the point---everyone will have Sovereigns by then) PS---has anyone posted a pic of their captain? If not I'll start. Aliens are still quite rare, and I haven't seen another Kobali yet.

    Same for me, and I too changed the folder to "STO" instead of Cryptic. (I hate having programs within layers and layers of folders---anything more than 2 folders deep is too deep---and who on earth actually arranges programs by publishing company?)
  15. David Hingtgen
    I was looking for the wormhole when I was at DS9, never saw it.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Hey, this time they actually notified people that it was shutting down--8 min notice, too. Logged out at the Laurentian system. mike---no idea about the screen probs, I merely hit prtscrn and that's what I get. The game simply doesn't "record" the HUD.

    No retailer has Blood Dragon armor for ME2--you get it from having Dragon Age's. And almost every retailer gave out Blood Dragon armor for DA:O.

    Anyone want to add themselves to the "MW aliases on Live" list? I imagine there'll be quite a few "online playing Mass Effect 2" statuses on Tuesday night.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, I was wondering about the height too---do you have to constantly crane your neck up?
  20. David Hingtgen
    Don't forget the Blood Dragon armor! Easiest of the "limited" ones to get.
  21. David Hingtgen
    By request, some pics: Got my new ship, too. Made it as Excelsior-esque as possible. Has twin disruptor banks (from Eugimon) AND a rear phaser bank.

    Any chance the Beta *just* ended? Now I get "invalid username or password".
  23. David Hingtgen
    It's back up. (with a new multi-hundred MB patch of course)
  24. David Hingtgen
    If you missed it, PM me for link.

    I've invested skills into warp core/power distribution, so I can support lots of energy drain. (and they recharge fast---5 secs out of full impulse has me fully charged) My front (only) torp is Mk I. Thought about buying Mk II but it's less than a 10% boost. PS--if anyone gets a decent science officer kit that has tachyon harmonics, I'd really appreciate that. It's my main power on away teams, but I still only have the starting level for it. PPS---why are kits so often the mission reward? You can only have 1 in the whole party. I sell 95% of the ones I get.
