Does anyone have anything good to say about the game?

I am being dead serious. Can anyone say something good about this game without the obligatory "I like this but..."? Is like this thread to be dedicated to that. There are plenty of QQ threads out there, you can even start your own. For this thread let's hear the stuff cryptic has gotten right - and that's it. I'm not being forced to play this game and I certainly haven't bought a game that has kept me this entertained for this long - ever. I feel no need to spend any money on it but have chosen to. So, with that, I will start:
The space combat is intense and easily, hands down, my number one favorite part of this game. There's just so much to learn. I've never played a game where I strived to be better at it.
Some of the missions I have played have been freaking intense and I loved them. I typically don't enjoy replaying missions but the vault, the assault on DS9 and coleseum (ive know that isn't spelled right bit I blame my phone and dyslexia) come to mind.
The foundry seems like the coolest idea ever for an online game. I am saving that for later, if I ever get bored shooting borg for dil.
All in all I feel the balance is pretty darn good for free to play. I don't feel I need to play to win and that makes spending money on the game feel like i am supporting it rather than trying to get a foot up.
The look of the game is pretty impressive and I feel it will only get better. The architecture in the vault was just WOW. I spent ten minutes just flying around outside.
So that's what I got in the small amount of time I have for my break. Anyone else want to show some positive feedback?

You cannot tell me that you didn't love Drozana Station.
You get to chase fish in the new bajoran pool
They keep improving the game
You can eat the fish you catch
You get to play as a pretty trill
They charge you for restocking the pool
....then I kind of fell in love with my Escort. Is that a double entendre? perhaps...
I can see you havn't been around this long but if you think about it:
Do you think people come here to badge the game... and ruin it?
No... thats not the case... People who come here, to the forums, come because they love the game and want to make it better.
They want to make sure that the place they love so much doesn't get ruined. Now all the good stuff.. no one complains about that do they? no, because there is no need... It's working perfectly, so why complain.
Look at it like this:Take everything people complain about, and compare it to what they don't complain about (and do it individually).
Everyone has their own views and opinions (and hence solutions) to any given problem. What you are expiriencing is the accumulative effect.
You see one guy complaining about one thing, and another about another and so on. While it seems like theres HUGE amounts of complaints, when there's really just one guy who is telling about one thing he dislikes, and another and another.
The second guy dosent nessacarily complain about what the first guy did.
It's really not that bad when you look at the big picture... We all just want STO to succeed and for that we use to forums to voice our opinions.
Plus my character is cute as a button.
I hope STO will have a long life to it.
I enjoy my Fed toon and I enjoy my Klingon even more though it has much fewer episodes to replay.
And BTW what so bad about complaining?
However complaints mainly are about things that need a fix or some improvement. For example the KDF side of levelling and PvE play is a tad on the barren side, so the more people that get behind complaints on it the more likely it is to be improved. I know it has been like it for a while, but they have had an influx of players who are f2p but will spend money on items, so if they get behind it too then you never know.
- No holy trinity (tank, healer and dps) and no LFT/LFM waiting.
- Character look customization and recustomization. Most of MMOs don't allow you to change your character look after creation.
- No clone wars (everyone wearing and looking same because of some epic gear)
- I also actually tried PvP and enjoyed it - never before happened for me in MMORPGs.
I quite like the social atmosphere, especially now that I've brought a few friends in. This is the only MMO where the social atmosphere isn't on life support, from what I've seen. People are sociable, helpful, and the general chat of the major starbases isn't completely filled to the brim with questionable material.
The space combat is very refreshing as well. The dynamic is different between ship types, and having a Cruiser/Escort at max level allows me to change it up. Still need a science ship... Ground combat has its flaws (exploration combat missions being too unforgiving on elite, at least), but it's also pretty good.
I think the only thing I *don't* like about this game is the fact that my computer can't run it very well. Oh, and some weird names and occasional bad trolls, but that's something I can look past and a community problem rather than a problem with the game itself.
After 2 hours of playing and some of nerd rage i was started to like this game and from then im Vice Admiral Plox , then my friends tell me that STO is not good like EVE online and i was like...........EVE ONLINE CAN SUCK IT !!!!!!!:D:D:D.
i am also being 'dead serious' that this is a QQ response just as much as the other thread since its implied that you dont like moaners and would like to get some positive influence rolling. its a matter of prespective and generally anyone who responds to such things usually end up on the same end of the stick. best bit is not be 'forced' into making a new thread about it and continue to drag it through the mud.
as far as positive infleunce on the game? i like the bio warhead the klinks have, the carrier Bop attack pets and their lethal attack damage as well as the chaos both causes, apart from that nohing else interests me on the game. so thats where my positive side on the game ends.
this. OP, if you have to make a thread like this you should stop and think about why so many others are negative. this game isn't going toward a good place right now and hasn't been since day one. every time they do end up getting something right they have a habit of doing 3 or 4 other things that TRIBBLE it up in some way. among other things.
there will be 'positive threads' when theres a reason to be positive.I introduced 7 people to this game when F2P hit. all 7 were disgusted and said pretty much the same thing - that the game 'looked ok when you first got it, until you actually played a few days and realized it was utter TRIBBLE.' needless to say I won't be introducing this game, nor saying anything good about it to people again, it makes me look like an idiot when I do.
1a- If you don't like the music, the music player functionality in this game let's you use your own itunes or whatever your computer has to play your own music.
1b- That means you can play your own star trek soundtracks from whatever star trek you love to make this game totally get that trek vibe.
2- The Odyssey was the winner of a design a ship contest. That's pretty cool.
3- The featured episodes are fun.
4- The initial idea of the featured episodes (presented as weekly "episodes" of an ongoing television series, and totally given the feel and story drive of a trek episode) was probably the most amazing development I've seen this game take, period. In one fell swoop they captured everything TREK about a Trek game. And they created a way to evolve an end-game that wasn't reliant on dragon raids like previous, fantasy-based, MMORPGs. Granted they got away from that, but that is still something I will praise the game for attempting to do.
5- Pakleds joined the federation. The make Starfleet GO!
6- The "busy work" in this game can sometimes feel very much like standard Trek like elements.
7- The Klingon Opera in the Doomsday mission remaster.
8- The storyline of the game initially, was really tight, really focused and really amazing. Going from helping Miral Paris, to meeting the Guardian of Forever alllllllllllllll the way to Q in Borg Space, with smatterings of the Undine war, was just really well done.
9- Time travel.
10- Quinto and Nimoy voice overs.
There's a top 10 off the top o' my head.
You must understand that much of what I love about the game is still in the game. And new players will discover that stuff. And love it too.
But it's been 2 years and a lot of what they've done since has fallen short of the bar they already set.
Hence the criticism.
They gave us X. A lot of us LOVED X. We want X+1. They are now instead giving us Y.
That's the only plus I got that doesn't sound derogatory in any way.
Oh and it currently got tacoderri
The Space combat is good as far as arcade games go, although, it isn't as Trek-like as say, Bridge Commander or even better, Klingon Academy! Your ship doesnt take damage that effects your subsystems in any real way and you can instantly heal in battle, something that I wish would change! However, it is an arcade style space combat system!!!!! Just remember that and it can be fun.
The Duty officer system is rather a simple and ingenious way of allowing you control over your crews assignments and duties. I think from now on all Star Trek space games should use a system like it. With some more improvements to the duty officer system, I see the player being able to do more things ship-wide in the future. Like, assigning duty officers to repair damage to your ship that was received in combat on an elite style mission!
The fast episodes! I think the fast episodes or mission in the game are great, even though very often they lack any thought whatsoever from the player. Some of the re-mastered missions are really awesome though, and I encourage you to play them.
The game is also really great for roleplaying. Find a group to role-play with and really trek it up!
Do you choose to have utilities? Do they create those utilities for your entertainment? Could you imagine working in an environment where the only thing you saw was negative comments? As a fairly new player just seeing the good people are experiencing in this game feels good. How do think the random dev who sees this might feel? I'm an artist, I airbrushed on cars, motorcycles, etc. I've dealt with all manner of impossible to please customer. The negative customers stuck harder than just one person being wowed by what I was doing. This is a game, built by people I imagine dealt some Passion about it at one point. I can speak from the experience of a creative field when I say that it gets old at some point in time. It gets old to only hear complaints, to hope to god that next check clears so you can pay rent. I'm hoping a thread like this, small chance that it may, will have a positive effect. Again, and I hope to god this gets through, if you want to complain, there are plenty of threads for that. This section of the forums does NOT say "complaints only, positive feedback not alowed". In the amount of time its taken people to write how... what, pointless this thread is, they could have mentioned what they enjoyed. If its impossible for yoi to, for once, say somethong positive about the game perhaps its time to give something else a try. Utilities? That's the comparison? What are you leveling up your outlets? How does that even make sense?
I absolutely love having a created character to command my favorite class of starship.
I had to think about that a bit. While we "CAN" command some of our favorite ships in Star Trek Lore we cannot use them throughout the game when we are restricted to ensign level bridge officer skills on the lower tier starships.
But yes! It is this most of all that I enjoy about the game. Creating my bridge crew theme, uniforms and commanding my favorite ship class. This above all else is what is fun!
