Keep in mind that the more cores you have, the more heat your pc is gonna generate

I have a nice Medion laptop, Akoya P6611, that squeezes out medium-high graphics quality on STO. Lets me get beautiful specs.

Bought it at 700 US dollars in an Aldi. Best deal on a laptop ever.

Ok, Ok, Ok, let me put it this way....My wife's laptop...could handle STO...my desktop...wouldn't ever even let me install it

I want to play...I just don't have 800 (or for that matter 400) dollars to fork out on a new system to play it

and my wife gives me this "you use this laptop and I'll kill you" look each time LOL

well, instead of buying cpomplete computer from the store, you could always start hoarding parts from webstores. shouldn't take more than few months and it will end up being cheaper and better than the plug-and-play machinery.

After making a hashcrap with my science officer (Bought a cruiser by mistake) I made a new one...

You like him? (I know it's not canon, definately in that uniform, but I like it!)

Daystar70 · « **Reply #1928 on:** August 08, 2010, 01:15:00 PM »

There is a "story lore" explanation in sto's "game canon " that explained the uniforms, i only saw it two times during open beta while a loading screen, it said something to the effect of " ion 2380-something or 90 something, starfleet lifted the uniform code to be per individual ship captains choice" and compared it to the individual insignias on tos uniforms. It's an ad-hock attempt to add a reasonable explanation to the many uniform types in the game for those who care about " immersion".

Lionus · « **Reply #1929 on:** August 09, 2010, 01:55:07 AM »

my biggest gripe is, that while the energy credits are the money unit of the game, there's very little use to them after the beginning. sure, you can buy ships after unlocking the tier, but that's about it.

Nebula · « **Reply #1930 on:** August 09, 2010, 02:02:00 AM »

don't use the exchange?

Lionus · « **Reply #1931 on:** August 09, 2010, 02:39:32 AM »

you've seen the prices these geniuses are asking for the really rare stuff? that's why..

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #1932 on:** August 09, 2010, 07:52:03 AM »

I have enough for the cruiser, but I cant buy it because im not an Lt. Cmdr. Im currently a lt. 6 and I NEED THE EXTRA WEAPONS SLOT!!!!!!

Yes, but the exchange is the place to go as soon as you get a new ship, a Commander escort (stock) is equipped with Lt. Cmdr weapons; even if you get really good drops, it's unlikely you'll get all the same type (better skill distribution). Also, don't forget consoles, engines, shields etc. There are some consoles you can't get from badges of exploration.

Daystar70 · « **Reply #1934 on:** August 09, 2010, 01:09:13 PM »

The exchange sucks. I may have used it ONCE in 6 months of playing. Nah, u do not need to use it, trust me.
