    For what it is worth, all the missions I've done so far are very nice. The story is well written and there is a good mix of objectives. It almost seems like Cryptic outsourced the story to professional short story writers. Clearly a step up over pretty much everything in game presently IMO.
    If you are looking for an excellent PvE fleet consider: Omega Combat Division today.

    Would be a great courtesy if all the major financial supporters of this game -- lifetime members and other -- were let in to the beta. The invitation alone would be meaningful.

    Lol, as per usual, I'll likely end up being one of the only members in my fleet not to get an invite to the beta >.<

    Seeing as the Romulans will have a C-store ship option for both T1 and T2 they actually have more varied content than us in the KDF :eek: (science ships excluded)

    Still waiting to be able to use forum titles

    Yeah the story driven missions are a real, cutscene-rich improvement over "Go there, shoot stuff" missions.

    Imagine if all fed missions were like Doomsday device, and all KDF missions like Alpha (The hirogen one in the jungle?)
    Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

    No doubt. Maybe one day it will be so.... Then this game could really wear the name proudly methinks. :cool:

    I've been testing the new content and have got my Romulan tactical officer to Subcommander and have completed all the story missions available and I have to say that I am quite impressed by both the quality and variety of the missions when compared with what is already in the game currently on holodeck.

    I am excited to play the new content, though I haven't been invited yet. I like the quality of life upgrades to the ui on tribble though, glad to see that perfect world isn't just focusing on cramming in a new faction.

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    Okay, so I bought the legacy pack, BUT unfortunately I can't test as I haven't gotten an invite yet.

    If I may make a suggestion, I would suggest you include beta testing as a perk of buying the Legacy Pack.

    I think that would be kinda a nice idea for those that drop the change in advance.

    I have had an invite for the closed Beta - thanks btw - and have thoroughly enjoyed playing the story missions so far. (I have reached Centurion 5 to this point.) I loved the tutorial in particular for the story line. I loved the cut scenes involving the new enemy ship which attacks the colony, and the cut scene with the reveal for the T'liss warbird.

    This has really raised the bar in terms of writing standards for Star Trek Online. Cant wait to play the rest of the content and get behind the wheel of that D'deridex.

    Also, worth noting that this does "feel" like a totally separate faction, despite having to ally with the Federation or Klingon Empire.

    Well done Cryptic, keep up the good work.

    I think Cryptic needs to close this topic, just getting to be rage central.

    Of course Romulans will have less ships at launch, they have a "free" ship we havent seen its stats at T5 but that is not really that diferent from KDF that only have 4 or even Fed that have 6.

    KDF players get a choice between a BoP, a raptor, a battle-cruiser, and a carrier. Four free ships, for four different playing styles.

    Fed players get a choice between two escorts, two cruisers, and two science vessels. Not only do they get a choice between three different styles, but also a choice of secondary focus in each of those styles.

    Romulans get one, which judging from Romulan ship progression prior is a dreadnought. No choice, one style -- the style, mind you, which is the least popular among the player base.

    "Not really that different"? Yeah, if you believe that, I'm Mary, Queen of Scots and I have some great beachfront property in Montana to sell you.

    You can't use the items from the packs in the Beta 1 Testing...

    They will apparently be available when it goes live to Holodeck.

    Luckily seemed to have gotten an invite ( no email but allowed to make romulan char it seems)

    Not played STO for a year, cameback for LOR

    Little dilemma tho, not sure if its worth testing now only to spoil it for me when it comes out for real:/ - are their test rewards for this other seasons before?

    There's a few people raging as expected, but there are a lot of people talking about how awesome the expansion is too.

    About the invites, it is my understanding that they were sent to people which have been previously active in testing. For example, I and a few others I know that have been invited have been doing testing since the start - continuously.

    For what it is worth, I think LtS people should have been invited as a matter of practice but I'm not running Cryptic sadly....

    Anyway, The tutorial is likely in a class by itself and I do not state that as a token expression. To date with over four decades of video game playing under my belt equating to countless tutorials, this is the first one I've ever played in which I found myself wondering 'when does the tutorial begin?' It is fluid play, solid mechanics and progresses at a consistent pace with a climatic ending worthy of your time to say the least.

    Who are you to say that LTS shouldn't have priority?!? We paid $300 (for the most part; I know there were sales.) in support of this game for a subscription.

    So you, probably some F2P person, feels that it's not fair that the people actually paying/paid for this game get special privileges included, such as Closed Beta access?!? :mad:
