As much as I've tried in the last day, I just can't love this one. However, it has nothing to do with the dev staff or their work on it. That is to mean it's not the look, the art is wonderful (whoever worked on it needs a raise) Aside from my own personal TOS dislike (yes, I'm one of those people), it just doesn't have…

Disliking one aspect of the entire game isn't grounds for vacating dodge, OP. I can't stand the Dyson Sphere expansion, it doesn' feel like Trek to me & I don't like the player attitudes on ground in there. Therefore, I simply skip it. Love the rest of the available storyline content, and I actually love the heck out of…
-
Eh, I'm not noticing the film grain effect. Don't know what everybody else sees, but I'm not seeing it. Just finished the tutorial, currently sitting on the Shadow of Cestus mission. Honestly not wowed with this expansion so far, it's just outright lacking something I can't put my finger on. I may be biased, though -- I…

Nah, he's not the main star of my Rommies' ships -- he's the Captain's main source of stress relief, being dragged off to the captain's quarters at the end of shifts (my Romulan ladies are a little...brutish) Ok, so in a sense, he is the star of the show, just not the storyline one ;) Yeah, I had way too much time on my…

I'd love a Gamma Quadrant expansion, but I also agree with the ground combat needing an overhaul. It's pretty mechanical & dull, to be blunt. Very predictable in every sense of it. What needs done at bare minimum is studying how other games do ground combat, and applying some of that to enemies to be far more varied in…
-
I'm not wild about these lighting re-do's. They really wash out the colors AND fine details in the environments a lot, and personally, I feel that alone detracts from the Trek feel & makes it feel more...generic game-y. I really hope they put a toggle in for this, because I think I like the lighting the way it is…

But, it's not an overreaction. Written works have been simply allowed to slide for the time being. http://inyourwritemind.setonhill.edu/yes-fanworks-are-illegal-harsh-truths-about-copyright-fair-use/ I have many friends who write a wide variety of fanfics for pleasure, posted on various sites for said fic. They all know…
-
Profit argument aside, the rabid-dog-with-a-bone attitude does have me wondering how long fanfic writers, visual artists and the like have before CBS and/or Paramount chase them down screaming about IP violations. It's not a musing to just brush off, a desire to slap hands away from IP certainly would have the potential to…

Michigan here. Logged in ok & got my doffs done on my main. Maybe take into consideration that the suggestion for regional issues might have merit instead of snubbing? At least until otherwise is determined?
-
The only problem I've been having is the game window completely freezes up when changing maps, and characters. Both are random, and it only started with the last patch.
-
Thanks, but no thanks. I got Steam, and that's enough for me. The gimmick here is not tempting enough to use Arc. I deleted that platform some time ago.
-
Ok, I know good art (and this IS art) when I see it -- my gazing-at-the-wormhole shot truly sucks next to this.
-
I appreciate the sentiment of these events, but the structure/execution of them is very uninspiring. We're basically playing pretend here (not that we aren't already) a la "Ok, folks! Pretend you're helping NPCs rebuild the galaxy by doing the queues!" That's definitely not an inspiration to login more often. What we…

I couldn't think of anything more iconic than watching the Bajoran wormhole out the promenade windows. http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj29/Lizzie9984_photos/Star%20Trek%20Online/screenshot_2016-02-21-20-49-56.jpg

At first glance, this actually looks pretty awesome. The closest thing to it I'm familiar with is Skyrim's skill trees, so the new clarity & streamlining being implemented makes the STO skill tree much more appealing than it's current incarnation (except there's no loophole for perma-leveling to get all the specs, which is…
-
Keep in mind DDoS troll groups like Lizard Squad still exist despite best investigative efforts. It's like an annual Christmas tradition for them to knock down the PS & Xbox networks now. In due time, dude, in due time. Word on the interwebz is this buffoon is within arm's reach of being dragged in thanks to the snail's…
-
Oh, so that's the cause of the 10 solid minutes & counting of SNR I've been waiting out -- a weenie ruining it for the rest of us. I'd be ticked, but he'll get his eventually. They always get caught when they're this incessant.
-
No, it's NBD. I edited above. My set up isn't multipurpose, and I doubt it's the standard for others, either.
-
Who needs something that huge for a computer? Edit: Meaning yours is multipurpose it seems, but what casual user needs something that big for a simple computer?
-
Where is this "wasted space" people are whining about? What wasted space? Looking damn good & streamlined here on my monitor, 19 inches. You got 36 inchTVs doubling as monitors set on widescreen mode or something?
-
The episodes, hands down. That also includes the Foundry missions. The draw for me was never that it's an MMO because I didn't care about that aspect, I wanted to see how they did for the episodes & how integrated overall in the main storyline my toon was. Digging through the Foundry ended up being like a bonus on top of…

A super-simple concept for a fix for all this DPS-based TRIBBLE would be to auto-filter everyone to DPS-gated norm/adv/elite queue ranges. Simple concept. The noobs would be able to learn without getting trolled, the casual players would be able to have fun without getting stomped, and the DPS crowd would have (and be…
-
I've been playing since it went F2P, and the info out there for the layman is junk. Period. If a player-made tutorial sounds snazzy & precise to you, it's probably incomprehensible to everyone else. I still can't figure out what half the acronyms mean myself, which is useless when trying to figure out exactly what is meant…
-
This would be optimal, as the Voth & Defera Battlezones are level 50, but I highly suspect no. I'm rarely negative on content prior to release, but I foresee this being a dismal flop of a battlezone. I technically count the Voth Battlezone as borderline deserted, sparsely populated by ground DPS e-peeners. This is how the…
-
I can't believe no one's asked this yet, unless I missed the obvious. We know you've done prior voice work for STO as Holo-Leeta, but do you play the game any yourself? If so, what's you favorite faction and/or species to play & why?
-
I'm trying to figure out why props from other movies/franchises would be a good idea to tarnish STO with. Unless you're talking about something else entirely, like a TV series everyone's missing?
-
I have 4 KDF & 6 Feds, and oddly, am not burnt out on them. Probably because grinding straight through to 60 & finishing rep tiers ASAP is not a priority. I play one at a time, whichever one I feel like when I log in, after I DOFF them. Depending on what I'm doing IRL & server reliability (rubberbanding, etc) it takes me…
-
I'm trying to DOFF my way through my alts, this isn't particularly fun. SNRs & DCs, login server timeouts, then still rubberbanding & massive lag when I get back in...
-
The rubberbanding & lag is so bad this time around that my crew has whiplash & motion sickness from it in space queues. Moving around ESD is a futile effort right now as well. I'm about ready to log out & not bother with my alts tonight at this rate.
-
Fine. Enjoy your never ending party while it lasts. I'd prefer to not trade an FPS drop for mere kicks, it's not worth it. Consider my point of view as someone with a stash of the party balls myself. I find them ultimately useless (buff or no buff) and don't pop them in public places. I will use them in my fleet's…
