    played through to lev 10
    so far you have a good strong story line, there were a few shocks and plenty of action also some interesting dialogue.
    i like the way your crew were selected from charactors you met in your adventures.
    still not too sure about having to choose fed or kdf, i would have liked to remain friendly with both factions and been able to visit the Qo`noS as easily as i can visit star fleet and picked up missions from both parties.
    i have a bad feeling that 99.9% will choose fed and the poor old billy nomates kdf will be underused under apriciated and left out in the cold with very little in the way of advancement within the games dynamics.
    the klingons are quite ofted overlooked by players as it is and the kdf fleets tend to fall far behind the advancment that the fed fleets seem to enjoy as not as many players choose to have klingon charactors as a secondary charactor or as ive had said to me the klingon charactors are only any good for farming dilithium.
    i can forsee a future within the game where klingons will only be remebered as those angry aliens we used to see from time to time but are now just a fuzzy memory.

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

    Just the devs. But Dstahl said they'll be sending out another round of invites later.

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    you're not missing a lot being honest...

    I finally got in late last night... kinda-sorta..

    Spent more time Logging In and staring at "server not responding" than actually playing.

    What I did get to do was interesting though.

    I'm not really delving into it to much at this point, just trying to play through the basics to get a feel for it and help find BUGS.

    When it hits Holo, I'll take my time and enjoy it more.

    The Romulan storyline is brilliant, I've foregone a beautiful day in the sun (UK) because I became so engrossed. Some familiar names (and their origins) cropping up. Well done

    Just from what I have seen from logging into Tribble and messing around with the character creator makes this great in my book so far. Now to research what traits to give all of my characters...

    One thing i am finding VERY annoying and inconvenient is going from tau dewa to Regulus sector...it spawns you at the very top of the block and on the map you cant zoom out all the way like you can on holodeck.

    I'd love to get in on it, but I can wait if I must. More time to plot my galactic takeover. No IT experience here, just a history of beta testing various games.

    Cant wait to do some testing. I would like to try and make this the best update you have put out. I am after all a bug magnet. I dont have to look for the bugs they find me.

    First, I absolutely love the way this was designed. The art is fantastic, I just hope I can go back to my home colony sometime, it is VERY impressive. The design flowback from Neverwinter is obvious and welcome.

    I did have a couple additional trivial things I noticed:
    Perhaps it is my video card, but the whole colony walkthrough seemed a bit "washed out" in color.

    I noticed you cannot put the plasma torpedoes on auto-fire because they simply start the cool-down if the target doesn't happen to be in the firing arc when it tries to trigger.

    The reflected lighting is much brighter than the source lighting, both on the ground and in space. Especially when there is only a single source.

    Ive played MMOs since the early 90s have had alot of gaming experiance and throughout all that time ive never been truely impressed by ANY MMO....until now.

    Ive been playing as a rom on tribble and have littarley made 3 roms have played through the beta several times and i wont spoil it but i will say the cryptic team has done a wonderfull job on LoR.

    And when this releases live on the holodeck i will recommend to every player to atleast play as a rom once if for anything the story its definatly worth the play through.


    Good job Cryptic dev team dang fine job indeed :)

    The expansion seems to have a much stronger Trek look, feel and sound across the board. I've actually turned the music on and the sound effects up.
    If you are looking for an excellent PvE fleet consider: Omega Combat Division today.

    As a non-tester, the overall positive feedback on LoR has me absolutely giddy. Can't wait to get my grubby little mitts on it.

    The only problem I have with it so far is that I'm stuck with the Ha'apax at T5 unless I grind up a large quantity of zen.

    Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.p3OEBPD6HU3QI.jpg

    Dont believe the naysayers,this is a step firmly in the right direction.I've found that feeling coming back,you know,the I cant wait to log back in one.The Romulan faction may just breathe some much needed passion back into a long time vets jaded perception of STO. :)

    This is the only major point of contention I personally have with what's been released and discussed so far, especially with the legacy pack being pushed as hard as it is by PWE and Cryptic. I can only imagine, having played MMO's as long as I have, when LoR goes live and all the people who don't follow forums, read dev blogs and test server/patch notes, find out about this "it" is going to hit the fan.
    Somebody getting uppity about canon? No problem! Just take a deep breath, and repeat after me:

    well ive played through to the cap and what can i say ...
    this is going to be the best mmorpg ever bar none hands down, ok im a trekie so i might be a little biased but even if this game did not have the trek hook im sure i would feel the same.
    this new story line is awsome, it hooks you and reels you in like no other.
    the star fleet and klingon storys were very good but pale in comparison to this.
    where the other offerings were mostly episodal with some extended storys playing through this far has been more akin to a full blown mega feature movie, i just cant wait to see what the rest has to tell us about the romulan struggle for power.
    now down to bugs in the game, very sorry didnt spot any at the moment there may be a few i didnt notice or maybe i was just very lucky and none cropped up but i found the overall gameplay to be very stable and never spoted any flaws in the charactors or scenary, if it was interactive as in a console or person you needed to use or talk to or just cosmetic stuff it all seemed to jell very nicely as far as i could see.
    i would just like to say thanks for giving me the chance to test this update out and also in advance for giving us this new expansion to the game.

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
