General game play

I came to this forum looking for answers on general game play and find a lot of the same bickering I find in all the other forums. So if I may make a short staement and ask a question maybe someone could answer?

First I love this game. I'm a die in the wool Trekker since TNG forst aired and before that was a Trekkie. ha ha With that said, I find that there is very little in the way of instructions. The manual tells about leveling and ships. But how does one lock the tool bars? Also I tried several different ways to send private messages to a friend and failed. Where do I find basic, game instructions? And where can I find things like, how does Astrometrics effect me?

    Unfortunately there is little

    you can check out sto-intel.org for some of the info you're looking for, and there is an STO wiki (google for it).. Cryptic has not published the information you are looking for.

    Also, there is currently no way to lock the power tray.. hopefully that will come in the first UI revision patch, whenever that is coming (no eta provided)

    oh you can also right click a player name on your friends list or in the chat window and 'private message' .. sometimes it's bugged and you have to right-click it a few times to get the right pane to display when you do it via the chat window

    backspace to quick reply to a PM sent to you.

    Thanks for some actual answers, even if some weren't what i was hopeing to hear. Guess I'll keep putting my powers back aas I throw them out. As far as the chat thing goes I tried the right click on my friend's name and that where I started gettinbg frustrated, cause it didn't work. At least now I know I have to click it "a few times." ha ha. I'm sure Cryptic will work these bugs out. The game is too good to finish.

    thanks again.

    There is a button on the lower right side of your screen that says "Warp to sector space."
