Mar 25	comment	What does paying get you in Star Trek Online? Short answer: I've clocked over 120 hours in STO, and haven't bought anything of substance yet. (I plan to, simply because... I've clocked 120 hours into this game and should probably support it). Particularly in PvE, you can get along just fine without spending any money at all.
Jan 2	comment	What is the process required to transfer virtual console games from the Wii to the Wii U One note from the previous - games saved to an SD card don't transfer, but your purchase history does. You have to delete the game from the SD card and re-download it from the store.
Jan 2	comment	Does Wii U tablet work with wii games? I suspect it's for compatibility - to play a Wii game you go into a separate menu, and the gamepad turns off. It's like a little temporary lobotomy of your console. Hopefully they'll just tweak the emulator to dual-display to the handheld.
Nov 28	comment	What is kept and what is reset for New Game+? A bit of an aside - while starting a Score attack game does lock away your weapons and such, your next New Game+ will still have everything for you. (Hopefully no-one else needs that scare.)
Nov 23	comment	What weapon upgrades make their corresponding proving ground significantly easier? Having both reload advantages for Army Carbine makes it a cakewalk. You just have to remember to move to keep things in range.
Nov 23	comment	Which kinds of objects are worth destroying for fragments? I started getting the 2.5K shards on New Game+, with only 0-1 idol activated, so I think it's a bonus to substitude for the upgrade you already have.
Oct 26	comment	FTL - What happens when your crew is full? will you still be offered new crew? can you elect to swap crew members? Also worth noting that several of the encounter options will change to specifically note that you're full and will have to dismiss someone. (I've seen it on the slavers and the long survivor encounters).
Oct 22	comment	How can I repair my O2 Generator in an oxygen deprived ship? Which is a good reason to upgrade O2 early (even if you don't power it).
Oct 22	comment	How do beam weapons damage enemy crew? Commenting because I'm not sure it's authoritative, but I'm fairly sure damaging the room damages the crew inside. Will pay more attention next time I play with beams.
Oct 17	comment	What difference will the more skillful (1 star or 2 star) crew members make compared to a non-skilled one in FTL? Can confirm that two-star melee is +20% damage (been abusing my teleporter privileges).
Oct 15	comment	What is the best ship to start with? One downside of the Fed Cruiser is that you have to beat the game to unlock it, which means you probably don't need help beating the game. :)
Oct 13	comment	What difference will the more skillful (1 star or 2 star) crew members make compared to a non-skilled one in FTL? Update: one-star melee is +10% damage according to the tooltip.
Oct 13	comment	Does ion weapon damage stack with cloaking and teleporter cooldowns? Ah. Sadly, not as good as I had hoped - was hoping that the similar countdowns would mean the five seconds would add to the recharge time.
Oct 12	comment	Does ion weapon damage stack with cloaking and teleporter cooldowns? Just to confirm, you mean that if I shoot them with a 1power (5 second) ion, that will add 5 seconds to the normal cooldown? Or is it overlapping?
Oct 12	comment	What difference will the more skillful (1 star or 2 star) crew members make compared to a non-skilled one in FTL? That's my recollection, but I'm at work right now and can't look to confirm. Will update.
Oct 11	comment	Are spiders always bad? Update: Am now running 0/4 in my recent spider infestations. :(
Oct 11	comment	How much does the Repair Arm augment repair? I need to double-check this, but if memory serves, repairing a point at the store costs 2 scrap. So once you're collecting more than 14 scrap you're losing money (or paying for the premium of repairing on the fly).
Oct 11	comment	What happens if I jump with crew members away on another ship? Also worth noting that you'll lose the crew if the opposing ship jumps away while they're on board. (Learned that lesson the hard way.)
Oct 11	comment	What difference will the more skillful (1 star or 2 star) crew members make compared to a non-skilled one in FTL? Also, repair - decrease time 0%/10%/? (never got anyone up that high).
Oct 9	comment	What is the best ship to start with? I haven't had the no-damage problem with the Engi (well, once, and that's because I was stupid and bought a Beam instead of an Anti-Ship, so that's my fault).
