Im hoping they are saving the bulk of the free leveling ship as a suprise at launch, but i doubt this is the case so for me definatley underwhelmed.
Seconded.
What was on Tribble can't be everything so very much anxious to see the rest in its glory.

This is a public poll anyone can vote
Uhm i never said it "sucked" the poll question is a straight to the point unbiased question, i then voted and gave my reasoning why i voted the way i did.
The question remains unbiased, so its up to the voter to decide where they stand on the question given.
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
well that would be included in overwhelmed i shouldve clarified that , i meant it as a way of including excitment and what not
The day is carried.
I'm overwhelmed at the unity and effort it took to get this expansion made against such clear cut bias. But it's almost finally here! A few of us are getting our heart's desire! After so many years of not only watching everyone else get their desires for other things, but being told "no" to what we wanted time and time again by people claiming to be backed up by some authoritative source that never actually existed!
- TOS themed adventures
- TOS redesigned ESD
- New Constitution Model, way more accurate
- Rumors of a lockbox containing an end-game ship or ships from the current films
- A T6 capability for the Daedalus!
- More engagement with original crew members
- Old school Gorn
- The temporal cold war and battle of prochyon and Enterprise J inspired ships
- a celebration of the 50th anniversary
- A jaunt through time that may include stops in all time periods as a lead up to integration with the new tv series
It's massively overwhelming. The game is boldly going in places it's never been before. And I'll be flying there in my retro 60s preferred style!
I for one regard the available content as being excellent although I am concerned about the possibility that there may not be much more. That being said, Tribble is not the only avenue Cryptic uses for testing so I will reserve judgement until the expansion releases. If memory serves, the ships released with Delta Rising were all additional purchases so this expansion is at least providing more free-to-fly options.
I dig where ya coming from, just wish they had more free ships and more missions, im happy were finally getting full on TOS stuff and a redesigned connie, just wish there was alot more then what feels like a cheesy money grab.
And so your gonna be going all retro in the golfball? read the other thread
Otherwise I look forward to it.
Overwhelmed suggests that I can't handle what's coming in the expansion, or that it's too much for me, which isn't the case.
It's just right. Hence the "perfectly whelmed" part of my comment.
lol yeah i shouldve clarified what i meant by overwhelmed
Thank you, sir.
really seems like they droped the ball on this, I was happier before we got any info on it. I'm personally amazed the manged to so heavily kill the joy for this. I didn't think it could be done. in less they have several huge thing they haven't said again about I'm calling worse then delta. sure leveling kinda sucked but everything else was pretty good.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
Underwhelmed I'd bad.
Disappointed is bad.
Where's the positive choice?
Even if, in some language other than English, overwhelmed is good, that's one positive choice vs 2 negative ones. Good way to skew poll results.
When it comes to content, overwhelmed is a good thing imho. I se disappointed as sort of a middle ground, I personally am happy with the amount of content and new stuff coming, but I'm very disappointed that the TOS faction seems to only have 6 exclusive missions.
possibly
overwhelmed = oh my god I'm so excited then a fangirl getting a kisss from [insert whoever they fangirls over]
underwhelmed = don't care/meh.
disappointed = not happy about this at all.
at least thats how I took it.

Good:
* TOS theme and playing with the ships.
* New character to play with
Bad:
* Going by the rumors. Only playing a few missions then you redoing all the Arcs again. I'm fighting time travel guys. Why in the world I need to do all those Arcs again? I rather be dropped off in 2410 with the rest of my characters. Going by this, its not an expansion. Just another recruit event to get you doing all those arcs again.
* No free TOS ships to level up with. So basically I'm using ships I already have been. LOR you got all kinds of new ships to play with. Once again this is not an expansion, just a recruit event.

Specialisation, check
Reputation, check
Rerolling a new character for account rewards, check.....only thing we haven't had that I've seen is another lockbox and I'm sure that's coming anytime now.
I'm just about motivated to log in for short dailies but this might be the beginning of me giving up on STO completely I've not really bothered to think about it. Put it this way, it's been a painful task just to get 17/20 items from the scavenging accolade because the games so messed up and I'm a dedicated accolade hunter so if I can't do this one thing I can't see me doing the grind fest that's coming.
Yet more powers than we know what to do with, more inbalance and broken mechanics...but this is what the community wants if it's making Cryptic money so expect more of this until it becomes unprofitable.
Personally, I'm whelmed. I can't judge the expansion until I play it, now can I?
I have high hopes and wishes that we were only revealed the tip of the iceberg. That there is "as much as the romulan faction" still out there.
I wasnt around when they rolled out the rom faction to see or feel how that went at the time.
I want it to be awesome, but right now it seems a little anemic.
So im still holding out.
PVP doesn't even get fixed......again.
Romulans and Klingons get ignored.......AGAIN.
Is there really anything to really sell the veteran players on this "New Expansion"? Or will it become the: "This new expansion is the best and players love it" again.
