Hey guys, lately I came up with an idea : download STO and check how it changed. ( i played a little open beta). Ok so here i am. I went on steam and started downloading STO 14 day trial - 8,2 GB. For summer I am here at my parents. They have 512 kb internet connection. ( I know its sad). It took me about 35 hours to download it. I was so happy when i woke up and saw it finished. Then i lanuched STO client and i was so angry.. there was a msg about patching : 2,5 GB left to patch. I was like ''Jesus help me" but ok i left it for another 6hours or a bit more and it patched. Launched the game and created character played a tutorial did two missions and wherever i want to go it says : STO DEMO buy STO to unlock blalbalb. Cmon so to the point : whats the point of 14 day trial if i finished whole so called "DEMO" in 1,5h ?? Just asking if there is a way to play some more game? seriously i got stunned when i got the DEMO screen whenever i wanted to go to any system in space ;x please help me :P i have 13 days left and? what will i do?

Anyway. The demo is just a demo. You're not supposed to get the full game experience from it. Just a taste. If you want to play the game...you're supposed to buy the game. That's the point.
Now. There are 5-day and 10-day 'buddy passes' for STO that give full unrestricted access to the game for free. This is what you want. So, good news, right?
Not really. The 5-day codes are from a promotion that's no longer running, so...yeah. Hard to get. The 10-day codes only come with the US Collector's Edition (specifically the American one - other countries didn't get that box). So the supply is limited as well, but they're still out there.
But you'll have to beg someone. Hope that a friend or stranger is kind enough to give you one, basically.
I'm not trying to be pessimistic. I'm just laying out the facts.
TL;DR VERSION: You need an old 5-day or 10-day buddy pass. Ask for one. Hope you get lucky.
Correct. It's not a 14-day trial. The time is unlimited.
It's just that you can't actually play any missions beyond the S.S. Azura. So all you can do is...hang around Starbase and look pretty, I guess. And chat in local.
