pissed me off last night, after hours of waiting, I finally got on, only to get a message that they are shutting down in 15 min for maint. All I could do was laugh...
That's a good idea...I mean I'm not starting my Romulan til probably Friday, but thinking about the naming and such ahead of time makes sense.
Is there any canon method to their ships names? I cant even recall them naming more than one or two in TNG. Federation used themes, like names of moons (Titan class) or deep space probes (Intrepid class) I suspect Klingon's drop a bag of scrabble tiles on the ground and use whatever lands face up...

I do have to wonder how big the servers are if there's 18K people waiting to get on...
That's a really good question, YO BRANFLAKES how many people are on? Nothing specific, but give us an order of magnitude. A hundred thousand? A million? There are like ten million Captain's right? Two, three million maybe?

honestly hope you don't get D/C'd... i'd laugh too hard
its weird, yesterday i finished work 2 hours later then today and got in the Q at 5378... today 2 hours earlier and im 18k.... why are there more people now! lol TRIBBLE
Easy...most people are still downloading the new patch. It's over 2Gb and dl/speed is somewhat on the slow side. Took me about an afternoon to download. If anything you can expect more people to queue up in the next few days.
can i ask those of you who actually have brains why asking for a free item like skill point boost or duty officer pack is being met with such resistance. most people think i'm asking for a handout but i'm not. my thinking is that buy giving us a free minor item gift
1. they are apologizing and
2. there giving it cause the want us to stay
im not begging or trying to force anything but i wanna understand why the idea is being resisted so much. am i wrong in thinking this error is beyond unacceptable and that should a been prepared for it and should apologize
Will you people just go away and stop coming back? it's not like the game is gone forever, you deserve nothing, even if you payed.
I buy Zen a lot, i mean a helluva lot and i am not complaining because i know i will eventually be able to play.
If they were to suddenly close the servers for no apparent reason and just ditch the game, that would make me sligly mad.
But seriously, it's not the end of STO, everything will be back to normal next week

It may be better to wait until the dust has settled before asking for anything.

Usually there is.
NX-class starships are named after Space Shuttles and then British World War II ships. (Atlantis, Endeavor and then Avenger etc.)
Danube class Runabouts are named after Earth Rivers (it's good thing there are a lot of them)
I think Yellowstone Runabouts are named after national parks.
From what I've been able to gather Klingon starships are named after Klingon star systems. Which considering that they fight amongst themselves and only expand by conquest, it's a fair bet that every Klingon ship class is named after a battle. Except for the Bortas, which means revenge, and the Pagh which means zero.
Romulan ships on the other hand appear to be named after officers in the military, the 24th century warbird, IRW Valdore being name after 22nd century Admiral Valdore.

Why is the Log in Que sooo Large?! is there only One Server for STO? 5 digit numbers for que possitions... seriously? I know the new long awaited Expansion just came out but they really could have done something so that everyone gets a chance to play, seems a bit unfair.
Will you people just go away and stop coming back? it's not like the game is gone forever, you deserve nothing, even if you payed.

i get that i do but as a lover of sto and someone who really wants to play dont you think a week is to long. sto is a game made for people to play. not to forced to wait a week to play no matter the reason. someone back me up right or is my logic flawed.

Actually, you are paying for access to the STO servers, and if a company cannot provide access to its product then people have the right to complain, especially if they have paid.
If you went to the gas station to fill up your car, had to pay up front and were then told you couldn't have that gas for 2 or 3 days, wouldn't you be a little annoyed? Or are you a businesses wet dream? A customer that hands over endless amounts of money and asks for nothing in return? Cryptic are a business, not a charity, they are expected to provide something in return for an investment.
when there are 18k people trying to get on... its time to expand the servers, but I doubt Cryptic will work on it. They were bought by the Chinese, and they always go for the lowest bidder.

It helps to have endless amounts of money
What i am saying is that it is beyond their control, there is nothing they can do about it, if they were just sitting doing nothing then sure i would complain but they are obviously doing their best. They are human too you know, they have human needs.

*Raises Glass* Here's to hoping!
PWE hold the purse strings and are the ones who decide what to upgrade and when. Try blaming the right people.
i just dont get it PWI/PWE making so dam much money off of people why cant they get a new server , having que on a regular game thats not in BETA is just lame , come on pwi where you spending all they money you get from us ?
And an IQ of <10 apparently. When I pay a company for a product, I expect that product to be available within a reasonable time frame and in a useable condition.
Whilst I am a fan of both Star Trek Online, and indeed of Cryptic, right now they are not fulfilling their end of the contract we both signed when I started handing over money for their product.

Its a company that rents industrial grade online gaming servers.
What caught my eye is the 2 day free trial for however much server space you rent if you are a first time customer...
