ets start with the sfx & voice.
when i logged in and was greeted by an npc the voice faded between just about audiable to totally inaudible,in part due to not wanting to have the sound of the "red alert" blasting my eardrums at 124dbl.
2nd impressions were;hmm the graphics look a bit old (5 years past sell by date) but never mind hopefully the gameplay will be good???

after 30 miniutes and at end of performing a beam over rescue in a ship that has about much grace of movement as a 8 byte zx81 block move (besides the point il make) The so Called GAME is nothing more then "FOLLOW THE SCRIPT" duh! You do know what a game is;yes? hello i see the lights are on your starship but no-ones on board.

There is no free movement as in you decide what to do or where to go,ect;you may as well but a bot(macro) behine the controlls & then whats the point,i not even got a cd for this game that i could melt for raw meterials or heat in an emergency;so $60 down the drain.

Ill Spell it out!

THIS SO CALLED GAME IS TOTALLY TRIBBLE!:mad:

    Let me get this straight, your mad because the tutorial led you along a scripted path? You do know what the point of a tutorial is don't you? If yes then why are you surprised?

    lol...

    So let me get this straight...
    - You screwed with the volume settings but it's somehow the game's fault.
    - The graphics quality is actually quite nice with decent settings. So you computer must suck. But it's the game's fault.
    - You played the tutorial. Of course it's scripted. That's the point. But obviously you missing it is the game's fault.

    The only possible complaint you have of any real value would be laggy movement. It's a starting area that literally every new character goes through, and the game is in the process of releasing. I think it goes without saying that area will be laggy for a while.

    Other than that..... I couldn't decide if this "complaint" was serious or a joke....

    Hell I felt Tutorial was not scripted enough. It was kinda blah if ask me. Not much teaching in so called Tutorial. IMO was not realy a creative beging to the game. What I would of done is started the Tutorial out in StarFleet Academy and work it's way from there. Taking you around the SanFran Bay area looking at sites from the Star Trek movie. Then move off into space combat. They rushed in the Borg to quick into this game. Made Borg seem really weak like a lvl1 rat in a fantasy MMO:)

    Operator error rears it's ugly head once more...

    You can go to the audio tab and adjust various sound effects and voice volume. That would have solved your first problem.

    You're in the tutorial, in the middle of a battle. What, did you expect to do what you wanted? In a tutorial? First time playing a game?

    I'm detecting a whiff of troll odor here. Anyways, don't like the game? Stop playing it. Only an idiot keeps doing something they don't like. Of course, only an impatient idiot gives a game 20 minutes to woo them.

    You don't like the game? Oh well. YOUR likes do not determine the worth of a single thing in the universe EXCEPT it's worth towards you. So, yes. The game is TRIBBLE for YOU. However, it is not TRIBBLE to others. To assume that YOUR opinion is so great it should be the baseline that all other opinions adhere to is not only hubris of the nth degree, it is so laughably pathetic to make any attempt of an insult by me towards you completely superfluous. You, sir, have pwned yourself.

    You follow the script. It's scripted. Not sure if you noticed that, but it's scripted to help you understand the game. So, follow the script.

    so you say you have a graphic card with 512 ram that's fast. well what card is it? I had a Radeon X1550 for 512, and it was a fast card. back in the day. sure it could play this game, but it would look like TRIBBLE. so what card do you have?

    and if cryptic/atari dont want everyone to get bad impression of this game and then pass those impressions on to others trhen they need to learn about moviemaking.

    an oppening sequence in imperative to get right;yes in this case it is a game;they should have made it clear that this was the tutorial or give the player the option of skipping it;not start the intro then dump player in the tutorial with out saying "this is tutorial" imho that manifests lot of flaws in the production arm of cryptic.

    Anyway before i can really arrive at a conclusion as to this games crappiness or coolness i need to play it.so for the last GDAM ...... time how do i exit the tutorial,please?

    I only really under stand the HOW DO I EXIT THE TUTORIAL part. the rest was rambling.

    now how to exit the tutorial? YOU FINISH IT. there is no easy button. read what they are telling you, and you will finish it.

    also what's you're vid card, and sound card?

    How can you possibly claim to know how TRIBBLE the game is if you haven't even got as far as the first mission? You don't even begin to experience the game's nuances until you reach level 16.

    ... tutorials are pretty much the norm when you start a new game ... even in Single Player Games ... to exit said tutorial and get to the real meat and potatoes of the game you need to follow what Zach Quinto (the EMH) is telling you to do. I'm not sure where you are stuck but you can hit the "J" key to look at your quest log and that might help you along. Good luck and when you are done there Sulu is in the Admiral's Office.

    You have some fundamental misunderstandings about graphics cards. Specifically, you seem to think that more memory makes a card faster or that all cards with the same amount of graphics memory are somehow comparable. In fact, more memory just makes a card capable of displaying more complex graphics but at a lower frame rate. (Assuming the bit width of the memory is the same.)

    Also, a 512MB card may happen to be really, really slow and a 256MB card might be incredibly fast. It just doesn't tend to work that way among cards of the same generation because it's hard to sell mismatch products. (Honda doesn't make a minivan with a spoiler, but it's not because spoilers are expensive and can somehow only go on fast cars.)

    Often manufacturers will try to distinguish themselves by putting lots of memory on a slow card. The net result is that their card looks better than the competitors. But in fact the memory is useless because making the card use that much memory would drop the frame rate in the toilet. (More memory just takes longer to access and process.)

    In any event, your graphics card is a toy. Also, it's an ATI-based card, which doesn't do SLI. In any event, SLIing two crappy cards will just give you one big, crappy card. SLI and Crossfire only really make sense for very high-end cards where you the price/performance ratio drops off steeply. When you're that far below the bend in the P/P curve, SLI/Crossfire makes no sense.

    And, SLI doesn't make your memory add up, except in marketing terms. If you SLI two 512MB video cards, although you will have 1GB of memory, it will be functionally the same as 512MB. (Because each video card will need its own copy of almost everything.)

    In sum, get a graphics card that meets the minimum specifications, or ideally meets the recommended system specifications. The game will perform much better.
