No i love the connie

alt + f12 = no UI. Regardless Thunder, I have an opinion on the Miranda and excercised it, If i hated coca cola i would not be told i can't eat at mcdonalds. I am no less a Fanboy for disliking the Miranda than a Gi Joe fan who hates Snake eyes but loves scarlett, i am no less a Dr. Who fan if i wish the Daleks never came back ever again. Some aspects of star trek i don't care for, i also hate the Bajoran race, i find the "bump nose= an alien on star trek" the laziest excuse for "trying" in sc fi and the Bajorans other than their weak spiritual backstory Emmulate this in bold.

First, you say you hate the ships that look like "saucer with nacelles". In the same post you say "The Defiant is one of my favorites". The two statements are not compatible. The Defiant IS is "saucer with nacelles", albeit in a smooth package. It has no stardrive to speak of.

Well, I often end up with contradictory statements I'm funny that way. I don't visually see the shapes of a saucer with NAcelles in The Defiant even if that technically is true.

Save starship discussion for somewhere else perhaps? It's not Cryptics fault for making the Miranda and Centaur.

Good point it has a Danger for Derailing. I was Just explaining to BES why i was making the statement about starter ships in the begining of the topic, But i can see how it will side track to ship class preferences. The Bottom Line is that STO is a fun and entertaining game,and worthy IMO of Trek. I semi retract my Centaur statement i was re watching a vid i made and i don't mind the Centaur as much as i recalled i think i was just tired when i was complaining.

Also, i was realising that my point about "a saucer with nacelles" was not very accurate to explain my feelings about the preferences because i LOVE the Akira class and that could describe that class to, the sharper angles maybe? not sure. I think "Hate" is to strong a word for Miranda to, i think it may be the "Limitations" of making Starter ships the "simple" ships that i am forced to command until level 11, in Pirates of the Burning sea i had many choices of ships between 1-11 and i Felt by comparing that- not sci fi but,an MMO with ship combat and ships you command as a player to compare to.

This article called state of the game was posted earlier today and its content is interesting

Resistance is futile

I'm waiting to see if the update is more of a paid expansion, but the way it's described I don't think so...

I love the ships in STO, if they have loads of Lieutenants commanding their own ships, why not pull some out of mothballs and retrofit them? In my opinion however, the Miranda rollbar should be the DS9 variant (No aft torpedo tubes)

I've seen talk on the STO forums about the different 'modules' having different effects on the stats of the ship (Which I'd like) Examples such as:
Saucer 1- +50 crew.
Saucer 2- +0.1 accuracy.
Saucer 3- +100 hitpoints.

And such. I'd like that.

Just to state my two ships in the beta were a Miranda with Shi'khar rollbar and nacelles (Refit Miranda basically)
And a Constitution with Vesper neck and Excalibur pylons and nacelles (Refit-refit Connie) I think they both looked OK.

If anyone wants to contact me ingame my primary character will be Keats@Tai_Juin.

Exactly, you can't even have Aft Torpedoes on the Starter ship, why are they there.

Personally I love the Miranda. But its not for everyone.

BTW if you want to hook up with me in game @Capt.Spade.

I also have a fleet so if you are interested feel free to PM me or ask me in game.

I will also be in the head start. See those of you are are also in head start tomorrow!

majormagna · « **Reply #1267 on:** January 29, 2010, 09:21:00 AM »

Actually, you can have aft torpedoes, but only if you get rid of your aft phasers.

Thats why a cruiser is better!

Dawg81 · « **Reply #1268 on:** January 29, 2010, 09:48:18 AM »

what i did on my starter ship was kept the phasers for broadside attacks and got mark II quantum mines to rip through the hull on the last HP then as i got towards Lt Commander i threw on a quantum on my fore phaser HP instead which came in handy casue i was going up against BBs. And dont forget headstart access is right around the corner litterally

BES · « **Reply #1269 on:** January 29, 2010, 10:31:30 AM »

They just put their forums on lockdown until 10AM...hopefully getting rid of anyone that doesnt have a game registered :-).

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #1270 on:** January 29, 2010, 11:03:22 AM »

Anyone read this?

Awesome.

Spade · « **Reply #1271 on:** January 29, 2010, 11:49:50 AM »

Head start just a little over an hour away.......whats taking it so long???

majormagna · « **Reply #1272 on:** January 29, 2010, 12:53:33 PM »

Well with 11 minutes to go, I go to the site to see if there are any last-minute updates...

403- Forbidden

Onoes! Although, probably cleaning the site, hopefully updating the shiplist!

On the note of the torpedo/mine and the photon/quantum debates... Torpedoes definately, although I don't know about photons or quantums, photons do more DPS, but I don't think I'd get to shoot more than 2 in a row anyway ('Cause strafing with 'Emergency power to engines' is fun!)

Dawg81 · « **Reply #1273 on:** January 29, 2010, 01:07:20 PM »

i was just there and its still down. So who all has headstart access?

BES · « **Reply #1274 on:** January 29, 2010, 01:13:50 PM »

I think its lame that they only provided a 60meg patch, when that surely doesn't fix much...so im guessing that it will still be buggy as hell like the last days of BETA...

I got headstart but waiting a bit before trying to log in...

Daystar70 · « **Reply #1275 on:** January 29, 2010, 01:20:25 PM »

Well this was expected..My day off and headstart, i had a feeling it may be to good to be true. Can't get a succesful Log in. Constant time outs after a while.

Their forum just crashed on me too...saying something about "too much high load".

Im finding this highly amusing that they couldnt prepare for the huge amount or people that would try to play this when they knew there are like 10,000+ trek fans world wide, they were warned multiple times... idiots..

now the server says its down again...ROFL

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #1277 on:** January 29, 2010, 01:27:15 PM »

I don't think the expected people to all log in at the same minute, I got as far as making my character and getting to the turbolift.

Daystar70 · « **Reply #1278 on:** January 29, 2010, 01:30:29 PM »

Now it keeps saying "unable to authenticate". Seriously not to complain folr complaining's sake..But i really am regretting pre-ordering. I have gained almost nothing from doing so..i got very little Open beta time and now it looks like i will experience grief trying to get "a head start" especially on a weekend, as cryptic has yet to get a clue about how many people are playing the darned game.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #1279 on:** January 29, 2010, 01:33:57 PM »

Star wars galaxies has had similar problems. Its not un-common for a popular MMO.
