Actually, the way I understand it, your starter ship is "Tier 0". Your first ship after that - cruiser, escort, science vessel - is Tier 1. I happened to read up on some of this stuff. Lieutenant Commander is Tier 1, Commander is Tier 2, Captain is Tier 3, and Admiral is apparently both Tier 4 and 5 (Tier 4 is stuff like the Sovereign, Prometheus and Luna classes, Tier 5 is the new ships that were named by players...I think).

Barihawk, it may be a bug, try reporting it?

Otherwise it may just be an omission from the Open Beta.


I love this game so much!
Did you know I'm on Twitter?

man i am jealous of you non bug people. hehe seriously, i am close to level 6 i would be so much higher if not for bugs making me stop trying and server issues.

earlier i did my first surface mission with player team, p'jem monestary it was a lot of fun. let the nay sayers eat targ poop this game has to by "logic" get better after beta this is a win.

i admit though after seeing sith inquisitor videos for TOR i foresee a vision of two games..one involves the forrce...

Just bought the Steam Digital Deluxe version. Now, if my dad would stop messing with the internet connection, I could get some playtime in.

well the Kling0n side is..different. i did manage to destroy a fed player in my first battle, which i was surprised at they came at me pretty aggresivley, and i think i survived a lot longer than they expected. My bridge crew LOL is STARLFEET models ..oh come come cryptic..REALLY? I'm sorry but this is what i am in school for..it may be beta..but there's no excuse for this lack of attention to detail..seriously...

There was a vid posted about 2 pages back showing someone messing around with their Miranda.

Edit: Tell a lie, its not 2 pages back, its about 6. :P

Backstory update-

Bridge officer- Leela Kane

the half klingon half human daughter 18 yrs old, of Captain Kane, her mother and father divorced when she was about ten, he took custody of Leela,and her mother had custody of her brother Kovold. Kovold chose to serve the Empire, while she, starfleet.

when the war broke out, Her father was Made captain of the DAYSTAR ,and he requested Leela be tranferred to his ship. Leela dreads the idea of facing her brother and mother in battle...but she also knows from learning both sides of her heritage, that it would be an honorable death for whoever lost such an encounter.

(i changed her look from half Denoblian to Klingon after making my Klingon i decided to work this into the backstory, in some ways STO is helping m,e develop the basis for what my DAYSTAR series, if it ever happens , will be.)


SIDENOTE- The vid i posted was a test vid, after much talk w others involved including the woman friend who will voice T'pon,she has done professional voice acting for animations before and is doing T'pon for free :P ;we decided to make Kane a tad more professional but with a twist- i am basing his personality off david tennants doctor who-a manic take charger- picture what if the doc was captain of a starship, and not a pacifist, and you will see that in Kane but more willing to take lives, in fact he is a hybrid of how Young kirk acted in the kobayashi maru simulator in the 2009 film, and david tennant's doctor.
