4thofelevenI have three characters in Star Trek Online; a human, a Klingon… and a Tellarite. I made a Tellarite purely because I’d never actually seen anyone play one. Hell, why would you? They’re ugly, belligerent, haven’t been seen on-screen since the Original Series, and had some of the worst make-up effects in classic Trek.
But, after playing as one, I’ve become slightly fond of them, and I do enjoy having a unique character. And their special ability’s actually pretty cool – ‘Pig-Headed’, it gives them a bonus to attack damage every time an enemy scores a critical hit against them.
So, I was a little disappointed to see in the latest patch notes that Pig-Headed had been ‘fixed’ to only work during ground combat.
I mean, I’m sure there are other players out there that play Tellarites, even if I still haven’t seen any others, and I’m pretty sure the ability was never meant to apply to space combat anyway. But still… I can’t help but feel the developers were somehow targeting me personally with this patch…
