One of the most exciting moments of STLV this year, for us, was getting to watch Lead Ship and UI Artist Thomas Marrone join the Eaglemoss panel to announce that Hero Collector would be doing a full line of Star Trek Online ship models. Earlier this year, Eaglemoss released the first of this line, the Enterprise F, and it looks fantastic. The image at the top of this article is an image of the model, in fact. We want to show you how fantastic in a little more detail, so tonight at 4pm PT, we’ll be doing a special unboxing video on Ten Forward Weekly to show off these ships, and give you a chance to win them! You can watch the show on our Twitch Channel, or on the Star Trek Online Facebook page. In addition, we’re teaming with Hero Collector to offer you 15% off every starship they’ve produced so far, including the Enterprise F. If you’ve been on the fence about starting a collection, or

Quote from Mass Effect News-Bot

While the series had been dormant for quite a few years, the Mass Effect series seems to be making a comeback in full force. Earlier this year, fans got to revisit the original trilogy through the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and a brand new game in the series looms large on the horizon as well. While Mass Effect has been around for a while, a newer outer space game has struck a remarkable chord the past year as well, with that being Innersloth’s Among Us. Now, a talented fan has found a way to bridge these two games with a new Mass Effect Among Us mod.

Talented modder Mentlegen3218 shared the new Mass Effect Among Us mod on their official Nexus Mods page. The mod works with all three games in the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, but is particularly intended for sequences in Mass Effect 3 where the Reapers appear and wreak havoc. However, instead of the Reapers, the machines’ massive forms are now

Deputy Inspector Mara Klatt of Alliance Interpol has broken her silence regarding the League of Reparation.

At a special press conference, she made this announcement:

"Prior to her death at the hands of the League of Reparation, I worked closely with my predecessor Chief Inspector Kay Kilbride. She revealed how Fleet Admiral Buchanan's assassination could only have been arranged by a senior figure within the Alliance Defence Force. She was patiently amassing evidence pertaining to this – a task that I inherited when she died."

"Information decrypted from the League's comms network has confirmed Kilbride's suspicions. I can also confirm that the arrest of Admiral George Varma was due to false leads – misdirection on the part of Varma's protégé within the Alliance Defence Force, Rear Admiral Riri McAllister."

"Rear Admiral McAllister is Nexus, the League's central coordinator. She has now been

has profiled another Wing Commander vessel! The BWS Intrepid is the star this episode of "Sci-Fi Ships You've Never Heard Of." Daniel, the author, has a huge soft spot for the WC series, and he's especially fond of this one. He pulls from a mix of high res original renders and fan project shots for gorgeous exterior imagery, and he even goes inside to highlight the FMV sets built for WC4. While Spacedock is known for its videos on Star Wars, Star Trek and other mainstream media, they've recently kicked off a weekly Wednesday livestream of the WC series. They've just started WC3 and will move on the The Price of Freedom after that! Check them out on

There was once an Aliens RPG in development at Obsidian Entertainment, but the game was unfortunately cancelled some time ago. That said, we’ve recently learned more about the title, including the fact that it was essentially going to be “Mass Effect, but more terrifying.”

Speaking with VG247 at Reboot Develop, writer Chris Avellone touched on Aliens: Crucible, the cancelled Obsidian RPG. “Aliens: Crucible was really sad to see cancelled, but I don’t blame Sega for it,” he said. “It would be like – this is going to be really rough comparison – basically Mass Effect but more terrifying.”

According to Avellone, the studio really wanted to make the Aliens RPG happen, but everything was cut short by Sega. “We wanted to make it,” he continued. “But by that point Sega, I think, was… the publisher/management relations had gotten to a point where they were just tired of dealing with [Obsidian].

A remaster that has been rumored so much as of late that it is quickly working its way up to Half-Life 3 status is none other than that of the Mass Effect trilogy. The difference, however, is that this actually seems to be happening and we now know what it might be called.

Notable insider Jeff Grubb, who was among the first to point to a remaster of the Mass Effect happening, recently shared more details about the rumored collection. According to Grubb, EA is bringing a handful of games to the Nintendo Switch, but Mass Effect is not one of them. “Not yet, anyhow,” he said on a recent GamesBeat podcast (via VGC). “If that happens, it won’t happen in that one-year window that they talked about in their last shareholder meeting.”

In addition to this, Grubb also noted on the Xbox Expansion Pass podcast that the rumored Mass Effect trilogy remaster is called the “Legendary Edition,” a fitting title for

Still striving to get the greatest performance out of your equipment? This weekend will be the perfect time to apply Tech Upgrades to your gear, as we’re doubling the amount of Technology Points earned from each one applied! From Thursday, April 19th at 8AM PST to April 23rd at 10AM PST, every Tech Upgrade used will apply twice as many Technology Points toward your next Upgrade! This in turn reduces the amount of Dilithium that must be spent to reach each Upgrade threshold, allowing Captains additional chances to attain both Mark and Rarity increases on their favored load outs. .share-footer a { margin: 20px 10px 10px 0; background: url(http://images-cdn.perfectworld…157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s;

Amid growing public mistrust of a fringe sect that worships the Thargoids, a report suggests that the group's members may be undercover Thargoid agents.

Independent journalist Flint 'Firemaker' Lafosse shared his theories via the Rewired news feed:

"I'm sure you're all just as creeped out as I am by those hooded monks and their stinking hive-chapels. Granted, being creepy isn't a crime, and I'm as live-and-let-live as the next man. But isn't it strange that this cult is rising just as the Thargoids return in force?"

"The idea of humans working on behalf of aliens might sound crazy, but think about it. All those escape pods captured by Thargoid ships…what did they want them for? After a bit of brainwashing, they'd make perfect spies, sent back to infiltrate humanity using this religion as a cover."

"What scares me is that these freaks don't communicate. They just lurk in the dark, waiting. Why

Juanita Bishop, whose protest movement against the Far God cult gained broad support, has failed to be elected to Federal Congress.

Independent political analyst Vaughan Niven published this summary:

"Many of Juanita Bishop's followers have abandoned her in the wake of Gethin Okonkwo's investigation, which found no connection between the Far God sect and the Thargoids. As a result, Mrs Bishop's congressional campaign has collapsed."

"There has also been a sea change in attitude within Congress itself. The majority of members have now taken a stand against Mrs Bishop for cultivating civil unrest and violating the Federation's principles of religious freedom."

Juanita Bishop gave a forceful statement to the media:

"If Congress can't see that these people are dangerous, then they're fools. These Thargoid spies need to be rounded up and executed before they murder us all. History will prove me

Clinical trials for new nanomedicines developed by Vitadyne Labs have delivered outstanding results.

Observers from the Interstellar Health Organisation summarised:

"Our teams carefully monitored the use of Vitadyne nanomeds on patients for whom conventional treatments were unsuitable. In all cases, the nanomedicines eliminated malignant cells, boosted immune systems and repaired damaged tissue."

"There is no doubt that this product represents a breakthrough in nanomedicine, with enormous healthcare potential."

Professor Katrien Rook, owner of Vitadyne Labs, told the media:

"It's highly gratifying to have our work validated in this way. I'm grateful to the IHO for its diligence, and I look forward to introducing our nanomedicines to the galaxy."
