Ship sub-systems working? Check. All stations reporting? Check. Weird guy with an enormous head peeking in from the vacuum of space? Wait a minute! As we see in today's One Shots, regular contributor Andrew got a surprise in Star Trek Online the other day -- in the form of a visit from a not-so-friendly alien lifeform that many Trek fans will recognize. So much for peace and quiet! He writes in to tell us more about this image: "I finally got a chance to meet up with Q in Star Trek Online during the weekend. It was such a great moment -- and a game highlight. This pic has my Rear Admiral 'Pojoh' finding the nefarious entity staring back at him from space. I geeked out. Looking for more Q action from STO in the future."
Have you had someone sneak up on you during your recent MMO travels? If you'd like to share your moment of "whaaaat?" with us, then all you have to do is send in a screenshot to us here at oneshots@massively.com. Please make sure your image is at least 1024 pixels wide and has no visible UI elements. Additionally, it would be a good idea to make extra sure your files are attached to the email, as we've been getting a lot of mails lately without files attached!

At what point did a Yellow tunic and Green trousers seem like a good idea? I mean c'mon! :)
Thats an even bigger fashion faux pas than Q's silly hat

Just an fyi, the pants are blue, but due to the dynamic lighting of the game, they may look 'dark teal' in the screenshot. The shirt actually looks similar to the Captain's shirt in TOS, and the pants are light blue, almost like faded jeans. ... but that's in proper lighting. Over the weekend I was in Earth spacedock and there was a guy wearing a bright white shirt, there was an instant when, because of the glare of the sun, he actually looked like a bright star running down the hallways. Again, dynamic lighting. There again, he wasn't an actual star, it was the use of the dynamic lighting. One of the many cool aspects of the game for me.
Of course the point of the screenshot was about Q, not about the behind shot of my character.
As for meeting Q, I did that mission as a rear Admiral upper half ... so that's about when you'll get that opportunity to meet Q. Though, depending on upcoming episodes, you might see Q sooner. There is speculation that Q will be coming, but then again, that's speculation.
In the proper light of my character I leave this:
Ferengi Rule of Acquisition # 119
'It is not the color of your pants that matters, but how much latinum you can fit in your pockets that matters most."

Yikes....fairly creepy screenshot. Let's hope Nagilum doesn't show his face too.
