HI FIRST POST!
Me and my brother are about to get Star Trek online... yaaay woohoo, yeah. Anyway... One for my piddly laptop and one for his German friggin supercomputer.

Is it possible for me to access my account through his computer when I play alone?

He will probably have a different version from mine, I'ma gettin the collector's edition because nobody in their right mind should get any other version. I'm gonna try and persuade him to do the same. But anyway my question stands. Will I be able to get in and play my account on his 'pooter, even in the case of separate versions?
I would appreciate any helpful input and advice, links to information on this that I was too dumb to find, or completely irrelevant gifs and macros in reply. Thanks.

    Won't be a problem.

    The Collectors Edition stuff is bound to your STO account, not the installation. You'll be able to log in anywhere that has STO installed and have full access to all your bonus items.

    (Oh, and if you haven't been referred yet, I'll be happy to throw you a referral code! Hey, it's worth a shot! :P)

    there is only one actually client that is the same for everybody. when you log in you out in your unique login name and password, that you create via this website, so yes you can play with different retail boxes on the same computer.

    the differences in the box's will tie into your account you create

    I was worried I'd be ignored or get called out for being dumb.

    I'm so excited. It's gonna suck waiting for the game to ship.

    Yes you can, but that doesn't necessarily mean you should. Your brother might set up his computer with a keylogger to obtain your login credentials. You know, pranks among brothers... ;)

    If we ignored people for being dumb, we would never talk to each other. :p


    (j/k... no really just kidding)


    Welcome to the game and hope you enjoy your stay.

    Why not buy it through steam and instantly install it? You don't have to wait for it to ship.
