I wonder if this nodus client has a trojan in it, that lets people remotely control the game. It would be funny if it was his own player destroying his stuff by a trojan! remember kids, dont cheat!
The shirt is the wrong color if it's Tom Riker, though. Then again, maybe I'm overthinking this whole thing.
Maybe a little over thinking, a second/third pip was too much pixelated gold, and the federation don't pay enough for riker to afford his other pips
