Star Trek: Online

Recommended Posts

So i got the retail account Xang sent me, and i will say: This game is kinda like Heroin. It's addicting. Not only is my inner Star Trek fanboy being appeased, but the ground combat in alot of situations is just intense! I got into one of the earlier Fleet actions (The Ice Mining One) on advanced for like, almost 2 hours solid trying to complete it with about 7 other people, while i'm the only healer on my team, along with the scattered random Federation dudes runnin' around.

And being a Healer is badass now, because you're not limited to a single weapon type. You can use basically any phaser, Disruptor, Plasma Rifle, etc... in-game with no penalties.

Space Combat: It's a challenge for me, especially in PvP in the War Zones, since i fly the Nova Class Science Vessel (Nicknamed the Shielded Paper Crane by me...), which in most cases can hold off in a one-on-one with a player's Bird of Prey at my level, but being typical Klingon D-bags who spam cloaks and shoot at you when you're busy doing other stuff, they also like to gang up on weaker people because it's easy. (As in, i'd be doing okay fighting a guy who's got a +3 on his name, but then his +8 buddy will come and de-cloak with guns blazing after 2 minutes if i don't get reinforcements of my own.)

Sad side: The turn ratio got botched compared to the old Nova Class i flew in Bridge Commander.

Plus side: I can make certain stuff just vanish on some peoples' ships. I.E, they'll be fighting, and their shields will drop for about 8 seconds and they'll be like WTF?!?!?

All in all: Thank you so much for the account! i now have something to feast my eyes upon for 3 solid months.

Well I am glad you are enjoying the game. You are a pretty funny guy. Hopefully you stick around.

Dude the galaxy x isn't worth it. It is like a Mac Truck with a cloak/big freeking laser. My Fleet Escort out does it in every manner. Although the 4000 cryptic points I am getting for Master Recruiter is nice.

I'm not in it for the ship really. one of my friends has it, turns like a mack truck as well. The accolade and 400 points are more what i'm after

As I need to be at least rear admiral to fly the damn thing, I am still a Lt Cmdr so I have a very long road ahead of me before I reach that stage.

What is your class. Well if you need help leveling I have both a LT Comm 1 and a RA 5. We can side kick and do some high level stuff or I can downgrade to your level. If at your level with my tier 5 ship I can kick some major ass. My Lt comm 1 is also pretty decked out. Do you have the holographic tribble/BO?

I can help as well if you need it. Been playing about 9 days or so and i'm at Captain 6. (Won't be for long..)

I also have a rediculous amount of cash. Enough to buy a few Tier 5 Ships and outfit them with Greens and certain blues.

Remember I think you can only have 8 ships on one toon. Then you have to start decommisioning. This is what happened to me.

Also to let you know part of Season 2 is live on Tribble. The new ship interiors aren't but Dabo, new ranks, new missions, diplomatic corps, first contact missions, etc are live. I will be checking it out at lunch today.

Other news they are talking about leveled capped characters being able to start toons at increased level (IE Captain 1 instead of Ensign 1) to prevent the grind. I hope they make this features because I am currently restarting a engineering toon and so mission my tier 5 stuff.

Currently I'm a Lt Cmdr 5. The fleet members I've been running with are always too busy with their 18th century crap or police rp crap to bother playing when I am

Well I can speed up my lt comm 1 a bit to catch up with you and we can do some stuff together. I am only going to dabble on tribble... mainly for dabo which is a blast.

Wait, they RP as being members of The Police?

I wonder who gets to be Sting on that one.

ROOOOOXANNNE!!!

xD Anyhow, yeah i know about the 8 ship limit. But i'm really not worried, since i only have...one or two right now.

Well with season 2 coming out the game is getting much better. I have a RA5 that can help you level if you want. I also have a comm 3 I am working on.

Reminder... this weekend is test weekend on tribble. There are bonuses this weekend only for helping cryptic test.. IE special tribble.

VA1 atm here rarely play it though

I still play quite a bit. The new weekly episode was very cool. Currently I have:

VA1 Trill Tactical Officer (Anti-Proton Canon Fleet Cruiser Captain, All Crafting Maxed)

RA1 Caitian Engineer Officer (Star Cruiser Captain)

LCOMM2 Vulcan Science Officer (Science Ship Captain)

LCOMM2 Leviathan Tactical Offier (Birds of Prey Captain)

I also have three other toons in the pipe that I plan on doing different ship combos:

Liberated Borg Engineer Officer which will be a Science ship Captain

Andorian Tactical Officer which will be a Cruiser Captain

Rigelian Science Officer which will be a Escort Captain

I am soon going to create a second klink. Hopefully after they fix the PVP stuff for good.

Whew.... just got my geek on lol.

I jumped back into the game as well. Kinda needed a good fix after barreling through Mass Effect in 12 hours. Still got time to play until October 5th, but i still seriously have no chances of getting any cash flow as of yet, due to school, and my family climbing down my throat every day because of it.

The one toon i always use is:

Ian Roberts

VA1 - Human Science Officer - Intrepid Class Retrofit (Long Range Science Vessel)

I've had alts...but they get canned due to boredom.

Okay, so Cryptic is still sending me newsletters concerning STO, although my account's been down for the past 4-5 months. But from what i'm seeing, they've actually listened to many of the good ideas of the community, and placed them into the upcoming Season 3 patch.

I saw this stuff, and squealed. But then i realized that i STILL cannot afford to turn my account back on, and then i was sad.

I need a job. :3
