as a new player and non mmo player hers what i think.

to start with I like the game Ps most of this rant is a dig at the mmo WOW convenson of how things are done if you read on you'll understand.

what star trek online has done for me as a non mmo player is it has got me interested by removing a lot of the mmo tedium and time sinking that other mmos have

1 the space combat is fast and fun
2 ground combat is fine I do agree that the camera could use some work and i also agree that animation should be smooth but what lets it down the detachment that the play has from the character This is cause by the con troll scheme and comdat itself not game bugs i.e. click an action and watch as the character dose said action then click another action if i had my way it would be like a mass effect style cover based shooter or borderlands fps style I know that this will cause allot of disagreement but at least id feel part of the action theirs nothing more annoying than getting TRIBBLE to pieces by a sword master wile i wait 1.5 seconds for my gun to recharge . At the moment i find myself ditching the more powerful guns for the weake faster recharging guns because I hate the fact that ground combat is based more on stats than skill.
I know what you are all going to say but thats not what an mmo is that how it’s always been done and non of you will agree with me but mmo makes no reference to how the combat is handled so why not do things differently?

Right finally tedium and time sinks
Hang on in there people let’s image that the mightiest of warrior wakes up one day and decides that he wants to make his fortune by mining some gold so he goes out in search of the wisest and greatest miner in the land and he says oh mighty and wise miner i wish to mine gold and the miner says very well my pupil you may start buy mineing copper. And the worrier replies Copper??? Very well master i shall brave the dangers of this land and return with the copper. Low and behold 30 mind numbing minutes later he returns with the copper here is the copper mast may I get to the gold mining now? Asks the warrior the miner replies no my pupil now you must get black copper.

And at this point as the player I say sod this and go do something else.

And upon completing this grate wall of text I relies that it has also become a time sink so this is me
signing off and saying thanks for staking with me.

    LURK MODE, DISENGAGED

    *ahem*, Uhm, to sum it up.

    TC likes STO, thinks ground combat needs some work.

    That's all I got, the last paragraph froze my PC >_>
