Hello people. Just got the game for the first time. Since its gonna take over a day to patch figured I'd get some input on what to expect from STO. Any good newbie builds I should start off with?

    just beware that your beginning ship is going to take awhile to kill things compared to later ships...kinda underpowered. What career path are you going to choose?

    Do what I did and just pick what sounded cool.

    Did that, picked science cause I like the sound of it, all nerdy and trekky and I fly cruisers cause I prefer them. May not be optimal but it's what gives me fun. That said you can make just about anything playable so long as you like it.

    Anyways, welcome!

    I was thinking Tactical but I like the sound of cruiser ships. Is the skill system versatile enough?

    More then enough. And don't think that career locks you into a ship type, because it doesn't. Any captain type can pick any ship type.

    Sure is, you can even keep different types of ships to change at your whim, on my main I have 2 cruisers, a science ship and an escort (which I'm in right now!) so even if you find a setup you like, you can still swap your ships around for a bit of variet when it takes your fancy.

    Have you performed the appropriate supplications to the God-Empress and your computer's Machine Spirit?

    Welcome to STO Silyntus! Unfortunately, even performing the appropriate supplications to the God-Empress and your computer's Machine Spirit won't help much due to the increased server loads of returning players.
