Loving the Episodic Content

To Cryptic, especiall the Writing staff.

I'm a Role=player, Star Trek fan (Especially the original series), and a casual/solo player.
Now that My character is High enough level that she's getting a steady diet Episode missions I have to say that I'm impressed and thuroughly enjoying the stories. Well thought out, and adherent to its source material with little nods to the various series'. The combat is nice but would be so much less so without the context of the story.

Good job and keep up the good work. :D

Stormcrow :cool:

    Yeah. There are some very nice Episodes in the game. I've been impressed with how they adhere to canon, even in minor ways.

    I really liked the time travel mission with the Guardian. Also liked the one I just did tonight where you fight a warbird like the Scimitar for the first time. But they have all be pretty good. Two thumps up Kestrel.

    I liked Past Imperfect, I just wish I could do it again...

    My only complaint is there aren't enough episodes to keep us levelling up... I'm dry of episodes now, and need 600 points for Commander, and can't get them through Epsiodes now :(.

    I would also like to say I am fully enjoying this game after seeing SWG go down in flames it is so nice to see STO as I am much more of a trek fan. the episode content is very well written. I trully hope this game stays around for a long time. After 5 to 6 years in SWG only to see it Destroyed by that dev team, I trully hope this is are saving grace for a good space MMO!!

    Had the same problem. How to start work on Commander missions and do exploration missions 3 or 4 times to get to Commander.

    I'm up to Cmdr 5 since playing the headstart. I've done each Exploration mission once and done each patrol mission. I've only had one 400xp gap where I had no really new missions and had to do some Defend missions. And since these were the first time I did them with this character, they were 'new' missions as well. So in the end you don't really have to grind to level and if you do the defend missions ONCE and consider them like any other mission, there is plenty of things to keep you going.

    He was, actually, referring to the fact that he has no more Episodes to get to Commander, not that he's out of missions to get to commander. :)

    I've not had amy XP issues. I do each of the Exploration mission areas once, each of the Defend missions once, each of the Fleet Actions once as they come up, and just follow the episode path and generally never need to do any more then what's being offered to get to level. The only time I had a problem on any characters was when one of my Patrol Missions bugged and I couldn't get the Mission Bonus when I called it in.

    I liked past imperfect too, my only problem with that episode was that i couldn't figure out how my whole ship managed to travel back in time, when it was only me and my away team that went thru the guardian portal. :)

    I occasionally play the DVDs of ToS when playing STO, and the other day I put in Friday's Children. While this was running I picked up the quest for Staurday's Children. It was great to play through a connection from game to original series like that.
