Im New to STO, but not the MMO scene. My old mmos are FFXI, WoW, AoC, and Runes of Magic. My thing with StO is where to start. Is the game solo or party focused? Which is the best balanced service with a decent "Guild/Fleet"?
Most of the game can be played solo but will scale for larger groups. If you're going to use the Damage Slider it's helpful to build a helpful group. Certain aspects, such as Fleet Actions, require many people to be in the particular zone and STFs (raids) at RA5 generally require a full five-man team.
Yeah, the majority of the game can be soloed. Difficulty for a mission is adjusted on the fly and dependent on how many people you have in your group. There are certain missions and task forces that will require a group to complete, but not doing those won't impact your leveling experience in any way... might impact your fun experience though as a few of those were really entertaining!

It's more a choice thing, you'll be able to do either pretty easily

I mainly play solo but there are instances where you automatically are grouped with others, as in Starbase 24 and defending sectors.
I have my group settings set to auto-join so if someone is on the same mission we get through it faster.
With my captain rank captain I normally will stand back and only attack when someone looks like they are going to buy the farm. And since I am a cruiser captain I will shield and/or repair new captains. The reason I do this is so I don't grab all the loot.
Ok thnx everyone im Logged in right now, and after playing for a couple of hours the game feels like a whole new experience like i felt when playing FFXI . This community seems helpful like that of FFXi, unlike WoW where everything is an "EGO or Numbers Crunch" thing. I look Forward to seeing a few of you ingame My name is Galeniss ship name is Galleon
