All I'm gonna say ... Dark humor is one thing. Talking about punching a baby in the face ? In what world is that humor ? Dark or not ?

Its the timezone version of Esperanto, sounds like a good idea, but in reality its unwieldy and no one uses it.

STO is the ONLY place I have ever seen anything referred to in UTC (even the acronym is wrong, it should be CUT!)

If they wanted a standard timezone for this half of the globe why they hell they didn't just use GMT I have no idea. . . even just calling it GMT+1 would have been clearer tha bloody UTC.
If the UTC is anything like the UFC, it probably beat up little GMT.

I stand corrected, I thought GMT did include the daylight savings time . . . hence the need for UTC. So UTC is TOTALLY redunant then?
acronym doesn't make much sense with French Grammer either, that would be TUC.

I'm guessing they just ordered the letter almost randomly so avoid a fight between the Brits and the French . . . we have a long history of petty squabbles like this.

Because people in the USA think that GMT is always "My time + x hours", even in summer time - so you get idiots who say "Oh, GMT is five hours ahead" when they're on Eastern summer time. No, BRITAIN is five hours ahead, but we're at GMT+1, or BST (British Summer Time).

Believe me, it's much simpler just to use UTC (which is by the way the official acronym).

And it's hardly "the Esperanto" of time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC

On a much happier note yesterday after the patch I ran the hard exterior tholian mission where we had to fight the boss with the pools of acid and in the box I got afterward I got the gun from the purple tholian set. It turns out it's more effective vs tholians than the jem hadar rifle i had been using. It does cold damage like the breen gun that I saw a lot of people using. Just 2 more pieces to go.

I'm level 50 and I still haven't run the breen missions. I probably won't go for that gun on my main who has the new one but my Orion science officer would greatly benefit from that I imagine.
