Planning for mediocrity

When you got blown away during open beta, you should have known you would have gotten a lot of players, when you got blown away during head start, you should have known you would have gotten a lot of players.
Now, you have people that have paid moeny to play and you still do not have enough servers? You have great graphics, but almost everything else scores at a C or below. Now this is intended as CONSTRUCTIVE critisicism, so all you fan boys out there, sit down, I have news for you, just because you blast a complainer, they are NOT gonna send you a check, Nimoy is NOT gonna call and thank you. So here is a short list of things that would be nice...

Collisions - need work on almost EVERY map. Anamolies buried in the ground, clever-maze like mpas where you have to go back 20 times to get your away teams unstuck from their OWN shields. Ships impaling themselves on asteroids and being able to shoot me but i cannot shoot them? I LOVE the look of the asteroids but 90 percent of combat is an asteroid field?

Vertical movement - i understand the need for the PIZZA BOX, i even agree with it, but it would be nice to loop up to bring me torps to bear.

Galaxy clas cruisers being out maneuvered by a klingon aircraft carrier?

Melee weapons for feds. I use a batleth, every time i get knocked down i am held for 10 seconds?

aceton fields - fix em, get rid of em or allow respecs, you are gimping cpt and admniral cruisers with engineers when almost every one gets an aceton fields.

PLEASE let us replay Nimoy's speeches

JOYSTICK, GAMEPAD support, please.

SERVERS!!

This game has the potential to take a noticeable niche in the MMORPG market, please live up to it.

    ^ You can't have mediocrity for a product if it isn't available to your customers, IE, the server being down all the time.

    It might make a nice niche if they become reliable.

    Yes, yes, let's all divide, make an "us" and a "them," point fingers and claim superiority. This is truly the Star Trek philosophy.

    Dude, to quote every martial arts movie ever made... "if you do not know what you are talking about, use your mouith for eating..." I was runngin around my back yard phasering Klingons before most of you were even in the gene pool. I stood in line for three hours for the premiere of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Right now i am looking at my Master Replicas Communicator and anguishing over whether or not to drop 500 bucks on the triicorder or get my car fixed.

    So as I said, If all you are gonna do is blast people who want to imporve the game, don;t waste the Devs time. I AM NOT SATISFIED with where the game is because if they do not improve it IT WILL DIE, i do not want it to die, but my wanting does not make it so. Grow UP, Please.

    I really don't think this game need joystick support. Freelancer did very well without it imo.

    I'm assuming your about 22 years old and a civilian at that. SO lets not pretend you have a lot of experience organizing and supervising people to obtain a goal or to plan for upcoming issues.

    Somehow I think that if you're seriously pondering between buying a $500 tricorder prop or repairing your car, there isn't much of anything the devs can do to satisfy you. I'm not saying that to me mean, I'm simply saing that to point out that Trekkies will ultimately be what destroys this game.

    There's no need to get personal here. Just an honest dispute between folk.

    Wow You guys are crawling out fo the woodwork tonight, again i STOOD IN LINE for the first movie, so since your math skills apparently are lacking, the movie came out about 4 years after i got out of the MP's, 95 Bravo, thank you very much, but what does that have to do with the fact that the game still needs work?

    Now, you, i actually agree with, hehe, actually the car is in the lead at the moment to be honest but man that tricorder looks cool, hehe

    Well I love trek... But I really didnt se a problem with anything OP asked for


    I think this game is cool, but it HAS to get better to survive, not my opinion, FACT

    That said, its not a lousy start except for the server not working....the game itself has the groundwork to be great .... unfortunatly, that IS just my opinion

    I have to agree with everything with what the OP said, and i have a few more points:

    I have a brand new PC, like 3 weeks old; Phenom 2 processor, 4 Gigs memory, SATA HDD, Nvidia GTS 250 (512 MB vid mem) and while i am running the game in 1680x1050 because i have a 21" wide the game has a really bad framerate, like skipping a frame every 3-5 frames rendered....very noticeable, kinda headache inducing.

    While doing ground missions ill go to fire my weapon and my character will look like he is getting recoil from the weapon, the cooldown is blown on the ability, yet no bolts were thrown, and no damage done, and this doesnt just happen for guns either, all moves have done this to me at one time or another.

    Other than those points the OP covered all the technical problems i was having

    also i dont know if anyone else has noticed this but with the enemies being stuck in the object issue, i found that if i ramed my ship into the asteroid just below the enemy, i would actually be able to get a shot off, i think it's something to do with the phaser turret in the nose of the ship, which is registering as being behind a wall, the asteroid in this case, which i guess points to the OP's point of collision problems
