Same since last patch, but I even can't enter to character choice. UPDATE: I was able to remove the crash by loading the default setting of my NVidia driver.
Crew is essential in a ship, it must be a usefull concept ingame. It was no well designed but at least it was present. I was confident to be well fixed (it could get experience, quality, speciality from race, etc). I'm so disappointed with the devs. What will they remove next?
Maybe like WOW they have too much consumers, they over simplify the game, removing important features, to make flee away who loves the game. I hoped someday crew would be at last well treated. I'm really no longer impatient of this skills changes, it rather makes me indifferent about the game (Will I soon quit again a…
That's more than nice. I had imagined different qualities of crew, or race specialities, etc... Please devs, don't remove the crew!! What's a ship without her crew?? Crew is a major concept in a ship. It had to be at last developped, not being removed.
What's a ship without a crew? It was not well done, but at least it exists. Don't kill them please! I don't want to command some scrap, but men (even they are only a number). I was confident crew could be well adressed some day, not removed. What a let down..
Exploration feeling is lacking, mainly for a Fed player. I liked the exploration in Mako vehicle in Mass Effect (I know many don't like this for they know how to drive the Mako). I hope for randomized space zones and planets to be (re)discovered. Don't this game be called Star Trek??
"science AND tank" is good too. You can try being a Shields tank on a Sci ship, but it's dangerous if the hull is hit. Maybe a cruiser is better, you can be a Shield tank, and Hull tank in second, and you have more weapons and the Command to Attract fire, and the Command to Tank with shields.
So I'm lucky, for I add resists and heals on my cruiser using shield command. Regenerating is not all for sure: it helps being the more protected. I have too +aggro consoles: I can solo the borgs (standing without ever dying), but it's bor(g)ing slow, it's better with a friend doing 20 times more dps than me..
I think Borgs were not intended to be soloed. So, DPS boats have to follow a tank friend going (like me) in middle of the Borgs (with my sci captain on shield regenerating cruiser), while you kill them from afar.
I had not Steam, but Arc, and I had this first minutes freeze problem. But now the freeze has disappeared, I don't know why. The sole change I made is making my internet compatible with my netbook.. Maybe PWorld just changed their server..
Crew should be a usefull feature, to be (some easily) managed. No crew? we don't command to the ship, but to officers and crew. Let it not be removed from the 'to do' dev list.
Removing the firewall is not the solution, it's only removing the lag very slightly. So, from our answers, it seems coming nor from graphics, Arc, Steam, net provider, nor firewall. What's the mess??
As this spawn lag comes on logging after we actually had quit the game, and there is not this lag after we had disconnect without quiting, then I think it comes not from the game but from (useless?) Arc which should verify and synchronise the connection...
This huge spawn lag is only for the 1st log in the game once it has been launched: there is no lag after we change the character, or even if we just disconnect and later reconnect and spawn, but this first-spawning lag comes back after we quit the game to Windows and immediatly relaunch and then spawn.
