Would I be alone if...

...I said I really don't like the new website layout? I miss the old one. It seems to try too hard to combine all of Arcs games (that i'm confident most of you, like me, don't play) instead of making STO more unique and "alone" in the universe.

Also, if ARC ever became the sole way to play STO, I probably wouldn't. I have enough third party game browsers raising hell across my desktop.

Nothing will change. Just curious what you guys think of the site. It's also annoying how navigate to http://www.startrekonline.com only to have a popup appear and tell you it's transferring you.

Not sure how long it has been up and running, I only recently came back after taking shore leave for a few months.

Any-who. Earth Space Dock ROCKS! I hope they continue to revamp areas like this as we go, especially ship interiors. I want to have the ability to take a shower, inspect cargo in my hold, interrogate prisoners, fly a shuttlecraft out of a bay, visit the old west in a holodeck and surf the STO Forums from my ready room.

...then I woke up.

    99% of people hate the new website. That's not a fake statistic, go take a look at the old threads in the announcements subforum pertaining to ARC and the new website.
    I ask nothing but that you remember me.

    Even I, self proclaimed collaborator of bad game companies, who likes things like the Arc launch thing because PWE gave us some free goodies, and I love free goodies, dislike the new website. Mostly because it signs me out every time, and now all the links from the wiki are broken

    The main problem with the Arc website is that it has no identity beyond "standard online gaming shop".

    The STO and the NWN websites should have distinct color schemes, different borders, graphics, logos and so on, specific to the game in question, while keeping the Arc layout for consistency.

    How dare you all! PWE have made sure we have a bland, un - unique, awkward website at our disposal! Now go buy zen like good consumers.

    Lol. I have plenty of things to buy in real life...and ZEN is not one of them. Not by a long shot.

    Actually yes, that is a fake statistic. There is no way you were able to poll 100% of the player base that visits the website. Not even Cryptic or PWE could do that unless they force it hehe. Yes, a lot of people don't like it but I know a few that do.

    My personal opinion? I find it okayish but not great.
    Yes, I'm that Askray@Batbayer in game. Yes, I still play. No, I don't care.

    that one actually is very possible to do...but it does require ARC

    all cryptic would have to do is hook up one of the terminals in a ready room with the shift + tab command, which opens the ARC overlay which includes a browser element

    then a player would just navigate to the forums from there

    viola! surfing the STO forums from your ready room

    of course, not all bridges have ready rooms *cough*lockbox*cough*, so those that don't, any hooking up would have to be done with a random console somewhere on the bridge
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    It's pretty terribad. I had to make a greasemonkey and stylish script to make it tolerable to use. It didn't even take that much effort so it boggles my mind how "professional" web designers could make something so ***tastic.
