• No need for the game to be installed. Just copy everything to a safe location and copy it back when you're done reinstalling Windows. I'm still on my original installation of STO while having moved from an old installation of Win7 to a fresh Win7 SP1 one and having had to reinstall Win7 SP1 a couple more times due to other…

• Killing stuff left and right isn't very "Starfleet" IMHO. Like this one Episode where you help a Romulan ship vs some Borg and find out later the Romulans are researching Borg technology. In the end, you can either let them go (one option), or kill them (two options). When beaming off the Romulan ship, where's the option…

  in So...why do you play as KDF? Comment by herkulius August 2012
• I've started playing KDF during the last week and really enjoy what little genuine KDF content there is. Well, except for the part at the beginning requiring me to run around Qo'nos like crazy. Have to check if this is skippable or not. Anyway, getting more missions for the KDF is rather easy and shouldn't take much time.…

• Worse. I made him eat the dead gagh. All of it.

• Thanks everybody for your input. It's greatly appreciated. I totally get the fighters aren't really meant to attack targets on their own, but they aren't fast enough to get away far enough to stay clear of the warp core breach AOEs of exploding ships. I practically have to call my fighters back way before I pop the target.…

• Don't limit yourself with a 1GB card. 1GB is too little for modern games. A Geforce 560 Ti with 2GB can be had for similar money in the area I live in. With a bit of luck it's the same where you live.

  in Will my graphics card run smoothly? Comment by herkulius August 2012
• FPS are over 30 most of the time, often enough they even reach 60, it's just not as constant as I wish. That's kind of the problem with how benchmarking is done mostly. Reviewers look at max FPS and average FPS, but what it all comes down to is minimum FPS, because it's the minimum FPS that make a game appear choppy or…

• While it's true that STO doesn't need a state of the art graphics card to run, I find it impossible to stay at 30FPS all the time at 1920x1080 with maxed details on a Radeon 6970. And that's with no antialiasing applied at all. Hitting 60FPS constantly is something I can only dream of. I'm seriously thinking about waiting…

• To me this account guard thing is a solution partly to a problem of Cryptic's own making. Let us use like 50 characters when picking a password, and also let us use any character available, even the high ansi ones. Why the limits anyway? Login data should be hashed and salted so even if data theft occurs, it is useless to…

• Returning player, been absent for like eight months. Patched the game and fired it up. I too was plagued by timeouts and disconnects. Turning on my VPN so packets take a different route didn't help either. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but it must be the server since everything else runs just fine, with or without…
