Hello, I'm a TREK fan but recently discovered BSG Online. Thoughts? Is it any good?

    There is a BSG Online? Probably based on the reboot I suppose, so not interested.

    Yes it's the reboot. You can choose to wear an old school Colonial Warrior uniform.

    I played it a little a couple weeks ago after binge watching the entire series again (the BSG remake is my favorite TV show of all time ... with the exception of the second half of season 3 cause most of those episodes just plain sucked).

    I didn't see much point in the character customization since you basically never see your character outside of the stats screen. Gameplay wise, there didn't seem to be much to do outside of PvP, and the fact that combat is auto-fire with RNG accuracy was a huge disappointment for me. If combat was "twitch" based you'd be hard pressed to get me out of a Viper long enough to play any other game, but as it is I wasn't impressed, and probably won't ever play it again.

    Ive been playing BSGO for 6 years yes i started in its closed beta stage (mind it seems stuck in perpetual beta tbh)
    ANYWAYS its a BSG based moba the action is fast and intense.

    If you like PvP then its a good game mind there is a large learning curve and the game hates new players but those who stick with it love it (again 6 years here and you have to be a little batshit crazy after that long).

    If you do decide to play then pick either the US or EU server find a wing ( BSGOs fleet) and learn to play and just be ready to die..ALOT!! because you will early and often and as a newbie you will be targeted by high level players.

    Anyways you can choose to be colonial or a cylon there are 4 ship classes (i fly strikes small fast lethal and they go VROOOOOM!!!)

    I play colonial US server handle wolf odonnell (no relation to rosie ...SO DONT ASK!!!) catch me on there and i can give you a few pointers and point you to a good wing.

    If your become a crylon? then shoot ya on the battlefield :)

    wolf o'donnell? isn't that the name of the guy from starfox who is fox's rival?​​
    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
