you cant give me the name of the mother board??
This doesn't really tell me anything on what it can expand to...
it only tells me its current state.

I don't know how many DIMM slots there are or if it is an AGP or PCI-E board....

PM me...

How much ship customization is actually avaliable? I'll buy STO if I am able to make a TARDIS or Lantean Warship. :P
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

Question: If I buy the game, is there some kind of limited play, if I don't pay the subscription? Or are they greedy turds? :funny

Im taking my time this time around...in open BETA I was rushing to try and get to my tier 3 ship.

So im only LT9 atm...

I was sort of annoyed that they wouldn't provide the pre-order character at least ..like the joined trill during headstart, so I dont feel like making yet another character just to try out the joined trill..

I'd also like to know this as I can't get a clear answer anywhere else.

Reason: I doubt Stargate Worlds will be getting released now because of how sh*t Stargate Resistence was (FireSky are depending on the sales income from Stargate Resistence so that Stargate Worlds can be finished), and I hate World Of Warcraft so if I am going to get an MMO, it might aswell be, reluctantly, Star Trek Online.

Speaking of turn rates, I'm getting annoyed with all the people saying:

Quote
Cruisers should have higher turn rates!

And such. Granted we did see the Enterprise D do some sharp turns, but if everything we saw on-screen was in-game, almost everyone would choose cruiser. I often change targets in my heavy cruiser, so I can deal as much DPS as I can; my Galaxy class will probably have 2 fore beams, 2 aft beams, 2 fore photons and 1 aft photon (Since I get better hits with photons rather than quantums due to my skills, they're higher DPS anyway)

The global cooldown on torpedos makes using 2 types, other than 1 type fore, 1 type aft, useless. But interesting, with 2 photon launchers you can fire a torp every 3 seconds, rather than 1 every 6.

To make it simpler I've stolen some info (Which I've put into a table and attached)
Did you know I'm on Twitter?

I experimented with 2 fore launchers with My Excalibur, 1 photon 1 Quantum. it was not bad but ultimately an unnecessary waste of a weapon space. I now use a quantum mine launcher on aft (absolutely LOVE the mines if used with Bridge officers w certain Mine skills, it can be most interesting). I'm almost Lt.commander 4, slow going but enjoying the ride. I love the game, my friend now plays it w me and that adds to fun, he plays A Ferengi starfleet captain which is rather amusing.

I watched stoked interview with Gozer at cryptic, and they revealed whats coming ahead and it sounds cool. If i had one complaint its that the community in STO is pathetic. (present company excluded) I get so turned off reading ANYTHING almost anyone says in zone i actually 99% of the time shut chat "off". They are obnoxious and retarded, and it sucks because i had high hopes this game would attract a better crowd but what is sad is the non trek fan /wow players are more respectful half the time than the Trekkies..the real hardcore Trekkies are WORSE community members than the most trolling MMO player...they act like Elitist Snobs.

Daystar70: Yeah, I've noticed that about the chat and official forums as well.
I never have the chat open any more.
