I still hope my pc will be able to run it! :eek

things are much better. i also edited my female vulcan tactical officers and mines bio's to be like so:

George Kane was an Elite force ops member who served under Commander Alexander Munroe on the Enterprise-E and Captain Jean-luc Picard.

During a training excercise on vulcan, he met female vulcan secutity specialist (local ,non starfleet) T'pon, at first they did not get along, but during a long training mission on a vulcan remote desert area, she and he were trapped in a cave who's entry collapsed from an explosion. She entered ponn far and he helped her. As the bond creates an immediate connection,it was not easy to try and sever after. They both struggled to forget what happened, but when she was found to be pregnant, they only got closer. Finally, marrying, they had a daughter named T'lanna. Though late in life, botth decided to enter starfleet academy together. (George was an nco equivelent to a sergeant.) when these events start this explains why he at age 39,and she, are technically noobs and one pippers.

i'm getting quite good at ship combat..i'm a centaur class until 11 then ill  take either akira or defiant or vigilance

[Spade]

I'm sick of these "Map is not accepting anymore logins" BS, they should have been anticipating a lot of players.

game is back already from that patch...its running waaay better now.

Yeah, the devs stated that in their patch they released before OB there was a bug in it that was causing all the disconnects and map is full messages. The were working on the patch immediately when people started reporting the bugs. Not as amusing as the bug in one of the CB patches that caused everyone in the sector to hear "Congratulations Lieutenant" from Leonard Nimoy when someone ranked up.

Actually your next choices will be either a Constitution/Excalibur/Vesper, Nova/Aurora/Quasar or Saber/Rapier/Ushaan class. Or your own kitbash of one of these.

Can you play as Klingon on the beta,
Or only fed?

[Daystar70]

Could you tell us why?

[Daystar70]

Okay the ship combat truly does rock i will break down why and my observations.

1.) it is well paced. - like pirates of burning sea, the combat is tactical in every sense-you survive by paying attention to your systems, and handling your, and knowing your, ship. Maneuverability is HUGE and supports what i foresee me loving defiant akira,or vigalence later on, because a fast ,sharp turning starship will be sooo much fun not unlike certain ships in pirates of the burning sea, where a small ship could destroy even a big warship, if it was handled right.

2.) i timed it took an average 5-6 minutes per orion syndicate warship in a mission to blow up spacedocks. great mission--i randomly also ran into big pve open space missions and joined fellow captain's ,around oh, 20-30 on average, in battling the klingons in fierce pve battles.

3.) IT FEELS LIKE STAR TREK-AND ITS ORIGINAL MUSIC SCORE ROCKS MY SOCKS!!- nuff said

NOTE- i am only about to turn level 3, and i'm doing stuff that feels much higher level in most mmos-- i keep hearing after level 6 it gets 10x better and evenmore after 11-- BRING IT!

[Daystar70]

This is a second character i made, the same vulcan wife/tactical officer of George Daystar but made her more detailed for picture purpoises and vids as a toon, this is a UI freed shortclip.

UPDATE-ADDED A BATTLE UI FREE!

More screenies:

1)How does a seven-foot-tall human Augment with a penchant for bladework find an outlet? Easy: He joins the Klingon Empire! This is one of my roleplaying characters, Kieran Devaneaux, on the bridge...
2)...of his very own Bird of Prey.
3)The (rather plain-looking, it must be said) bridge of the U.S.S. Adelbert Ames.
4)The Ames after a run-in with some Nausicaans.
5)Escorting a lost freighter.

Unfortunately it does not work that way. You have to work up the tiers to get the better ones. You start of with the Tier 1 ship, Miranda/ShiKahr/Centaur class. Then at Lieutenant Commander you get access to the Tier 2 ships which is the Constitution/Excalibur/Vesper class, Nova/Aurora/Quasar class or Saber/Rapier/Ushaan class or a kitbash of these within its class. At Commander you have access to Tier 3 ships which is Cheyenne/Stargazer/Dakota class, Akira/Olso/Zephyr class, Olympic/Hope/Horizon class or a kitbash of these within its class. At Captain you get access to Tier 4 ships which is the Galaxy/Celestial/Envoy class, Defiant/Vigilance/Gallant class, Intrepid/Cochrane/Discovery class or a kitbash of these within its class and the last Tier you get access at Admiral which is the Sovereign/Noble/Majestic class, Avenger/Vanguard/Emissary class, Prometheus/Phoenix/Cerberus class, Hermes/Gryphon/Dervish class, Luna/Sol/Polaris class, Trident/Oracle/Destiny class or a kitbash of these within its class.

For OB Cryptic has put a level cap at 16, which means you will only make it to LtCdr and you will only get access to the Tier 2 ships. The Saber/Rapier/Ushaan is the escort class for Tier 2. You will eventually be able to get the Akira and Defiant class but you might not be able to get them during OB if they keep the level cap at 16.

[Daystar70]

Ah okay.well the level limit in beta is 16, but if cryptic follows what pirates did in end of open beta, maybe well be handed uber xps and money to experience higher tiers the last 2 days.

The 9th including myself have started flying and it is a new experience compared to any other trek game especially ground combat as for ship combat, has some feel of the old SFC2 and OP so far im impressed with what they have come up with im currently flying a good ol miranda class at Lt level u all are more than welcomed to join us u deffinatly need numbers on your side in space battles cause u will be facing the borg alot sooner than u think including a full bore cube

[Voyager16]

damn, I coulnt post with m mobile, kept saying I timed out.
So I had to come out of my bed sigh.

I always thought being in a clan was a bit pointless with BC.
But with STO the idea would be awesome, so as long as you don't expect me to be like 20hous online a week and get a kick.
(Had that problem in the past)

You can count me in!

[Dawg81]
