Star Trek Online

I’ve downloaded it and have yet to play it.

If it gives me a few hours of fun I’ll have considered it worthwhile, but I’m not gonna invest any kind of serious time into that.

oh, dont get me wrong, the gameplay is pretty good. The problem is that I’ve played since launch, burned through the content to max level at the time in a week or so, waited a quarter year, played through the new content in 3 days, waited a half year, did the same again.

Cryptic just isnt good at doing new content in lumps that keep me happy. Call me odd, but I dont like grinding the same 3 raids 10 times a day, every day.

Their servers are slow as hell

I downloaded the game today so that I’d give it a try and see how it is. It took like 2 hours or more to download and that’s incredibly long considering I usually download a file of a similar size in like 30 minutes from other places. Then waited for it to install …. after that I said “finally it’s done” but no, when I ran the game it started to download a patch, 500mb in size, that was half an hour ago and it’s still not done. Wtf, I have to wait an entire day to play this god damn game. By the time it finishes setting up I’ll probably be sick and tired of the game already.

… not a good day for gaming …

Edit: actually, my bad, it was more than 2 hours considering I started downloading the game when I saw Lancer’s reply and that was at 5:46, now it’s 11:54.

Pando downloader sucks monkey butt! I’ve been downloading it for over a week now, couple of hours every day. Probably never play much anyway, same as black prophecy, but can’t grumble for free like.

It’s a fun game, I personally hate the away missions but the space missions are pretty cool, I do agree the three end raids the STF missions could be better, or atleast some different missions. I like the customisation, that’s pretty cool.

All in all i like the game.

Finally got around to playing the game and I kinda like it. The only downside that I see is that it is repetitive as most of the missions I did were basically the same thing with a different name.
I’ll add you as friend LS once I figure out how to do it cause there are tons of menus and options in there

Side note: I’m downloading the game again, this time on my laptop and on a low speed wireless connection at work, so I hope to have it done by next Christmas.

I’ll be re dl’ing to play the new Feature Episode coming out. If any of ya’ll need help/want company grinding up to VADM, im Garrus Holden@anubis714

Just a quick question: I just got an Odyssey class ship from a mission but looks like I can’t use it. Any idea what “level” I need to be to use it ? Or what I need to do to activate it.

This is it:
http://www.stowiki.org/Special_Requisition_Pack_-_Odyssey_Class_Ship

When I try to use it is says:
“You do not meet the requirements for this item”
But what are the requirements hehe ?

Currently I’m Lieutenant ( 8 )

It’s a VADM ship, so max level.

What’s everyone running?

I’m a Tactical, I usually use the Refit Defiant or a Fleet Escort fitted with phaser beam banks and dual heavy cannons. I also got my hands on Beam Overload III. Even though it got nerfed, it’s still pretty good for massive crit.

Same here, tactical and I use an escort fitted with 2 torpedoes and 1 cannon as fore weapons and 1 aft phaser. Not sure if I should use 3 cannons instead …

having two torps is relatively useless these days. You’re better off with the constant DPS of one set, especially since you’re at such a low level and cant mount many skills in your BOff slots. Focus on cannon skills till you get up to ~CDR or CAPT. Then you can mix and match as you like.

Basically, kit out on lots of phaser relays, Cannon Rapid Fire, Cannon Scatter Volley, Tactical Team, Attack Pattern Alpha/Omega if you can fit it. For engineering slot, make sure you have emergency power to shields and engineering team, and for sci, you’ll either want jam sensors or polarize hull, and science team once you can fit it.

as a Tac Officer, your job is DPS as long as possible, so you have to focus on damage and some tanking. dont worry too much about support skills, that’s for engineers and science officers. focus on skills that do things to you and for you.

gratz on getting to Admiral LS, I’m still a bit behind you, but then I do have 3 characters on the go

I take it you got your free Federation & Klingon ships for the event that’s on atm

My 3 toons are -

Kajada@bejaymac <– Fed
Bejaymac@bejaymac <-- Fed
Aze’bur@bejaymac <-- Klingon

so if you see me give us a shout

I got to level 20 and I was supposed to get a free ship but seems it’s not the case. None of the available ships are free to take, as it was when I got to level 10, they all got a huge price tag
