Y'know the more i see that new connie retro "Excalibur" class starship in action, the more i am taken with it. BTW- here is a list from mmorpg.com of perks for pre ordering examples from each source (and i am going by memory so i could be off on which assosiated store is what)

amazon.com-pre-order and get a "Liberated" borg crewmember w nanotech

wal-mart- you get the TOS enterprise as a ship

best-buy- a tribble pet

theres more like i believe Target you get some modulated personal deflector shield.

FYI:

Collectors edition among other thigns will give you TNG, VOY, and DS9 uniforms. I'm going to Excelsiorify my Excalibur with DS9 uniforms for a fun experience

I actually like the New original uniforms in STO myself. I like the most seen Larger Defiant "ish" bridge we see in trailers, but the only thing i do not like about that bridge is a clear lack of tactical station somewhere behind the captains chair, i kinda like that. (Though i never liked the horseshoe station worf had on Ent D).

What was that? Did someone compile already released footage, dub it themselves, and call it a trailer?

Nebula · « **Reply #885 on:** December 09, 2009, 11:14:33 PM »

huh what do ya mean already released footage?? that was all new... AFAI could tell.
I've watched the other vids plenty of times...

Kirk · « **Reply #886 on:** December 10, 2009, 03:07:12 PM »

Sorry, was tired and pissed off. The new footage was neat, but as a trailer I still think it was bad.

Ooh, a trailer showing both "sides" to STO game play.

Billz · « **Reply #889 on:** December 11, 2009, 06:25:30 PM »

Will there be any pre-order exclusives for european customers?

deadthunder2_0 · « **Reply #890 on:** December 11, 2009, 08:31:45 PM »

heard a roomer about a X360 version, with better graphics.
I will see what The Modders of Steel can do with that sovereign variant, with the armored nacelles ,and the pod over them.
Also will see about other ships.

Ryles · « **Reply #891 on:** December 11, 2009, 10:26:42 PM »

No 360 version... and it certainly wouldn't have "better" graphics.

Fact: The Xbox 360 will NEVER have better hardware or better performance than the PC. An Xbox 360 is locked with whatever hardware it is shipped with, whereas a PC can be upgraded unlimited times.

Fact: Star Trek Legacy was developed primarily for the Xbox 360, which ofcourse means it was optimized for the console. The PC version of the game was nothing more than a "poorly" done console port.

Ok Ok, but the point is it will be on Xbox360, yoy, my computer would cough up a hairball.

Ryles · « **Reply #895 on:** December 11, 2009, 11:41:04 PM »

It will be on 360/PS3, if and only if Cryptic works out the licensing hurdles with Sony and Microsoft, and if any only if, Champions Online does well on console.

There are a ton of ifs in that statement.

Too many.

Don't count on it happening any time soon.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #896 on:** December 12, 2009, 12:37:05 AM »

I'm not shut down to the idea of purchasing Online, but no trailer I have seen so far has endeared me to the game, I'll tell you that.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #897 on:** December 12, 2009, 07:56:04 AM »

at 1:17... that Dominion Battle cruiser looks like crap. lol

Daystar70 · « **Reply #898 on:** December 12, 2009, 05:23:48 PM »

I for one, am stoked. The more i see, the more excited i get. Theres tons of reports even from a critic crypytic allowed to talk about a Beta experience, about how the tutorial mission itself is absolutely awesome, involving the "new" version of the Borg, and a story in game explanation of why you begin as Ensigns and take command of starships. I am 100% sure my ship of choice, when able, is the Excalibur class connie retro looking beauty that cryptic created.
pre ordered from Direct 2 drive and will have a personal borg based shield, the option to play as a joined trill which gives multi lifetime benefits, TOS uniforms,
and some other thing i forget.

yes it is a very good looking game, and consoles have been announced, X360 and possibly PS3
now from what I've seen, there will be no modding allowed for the game. Shame they won't have the century class ship, raptor class(fed), outrider, ambassador, Incom, the real Excalibur, excelsior, valiant(notice all of the dj ships), Eclipse, MVAM Galaxy, and a normal Norway.
