Star Trek Online - anyone play it on here?

[CBR JGWRR]

In the process of downloading it myself, so just wondering if anyone can give advice...

[CBR JGWRR]

That would be great, but don't do it yet as the download is only 35% complete so far...

I guess you will want the username, which is cbrjwrr (it seems you cant use capitals...) but I don't know if there is anything else yet.


The last game I played anything like this was Star Trek Bridge Commander back when that was new, don't suppose its like that?

Looking at some YT vids it looks very pretty,so may have to install.
1. Is it mostly fleet fighting stuff?Or more exploring/mining?Or FPS style away team fun(red shirt not advised I presume!)
2. Is t very complex/fiddley like EVE?

1. All 3 are in it, although I've only seen the first and third so far.
2. Cant comment, haven't played EVE...


Only 2 hours in, so I've only just completed the Federation compulsory tutorials (I think) and its exceeded every expectation I had - my only annoyances are A) I don't have a clue what I'm doing, (not in a bad way - like completing the tutorial in a TES game for the first time) B) loading up the game for the first time took ages, and C) I don't know how to pause it. That's about it, aside from hardware issues at my end. (3 letters of my keyboard not working, mouse cuts out regularly - kind of a pain)

Its everything I can remember liking about ST:BC, with everything I like about Freelancer. Only better.

Ping me a message when you are all ingame i'm on david@arkliea1978

May sound a bit daft, but, umm, how? I've been trying to figure it out myself...

Another thing - my Romulan character has been given a mission which involves looking at Tal Shiar files in her ready room - and unfortunately, I cant figure out how to do that... (Tradecraft, if it jogs anyone's memory)

ETA - turns out its an option on a drop down menu on the right side of the display...

Also, I've acquired a Dominion and a Cardassian Lockbox, and well, I don't particularly want either. If they are tradable, anyone on here want them?

Should be a mail icon on the middle right of your minimap, if you send to @arkliea1978 it should go to all of my characters.

Lockboxes are tradable on the exchange, see what the prices are like. But they are only around for a short while so may be an idea to keep hold of them.

Ok, Ill try it next time I'm in game.

BTW, sorry about refusing the team request earlier, I was concentrating on the mission I was on, and it never occurred to me it would be you until I had entered the system...




Apparently, I cant send mail yet...

Theres probably a limit where you need to do something or be active for a certain amount of time to stop spammers.

Theres a lot of info here http://sto.gamepedia.com/Main_Page

Yeah, there are. Needed to wait for a few more hours first. Probably could do it now...

Its a C-Store freebee week next week too, usually get a few good bargains.

That's useful to know.

[CBR JGWRR]

First freebee - http://sto.perfectworld.com/news/?p=1085681

There is also a 15% discount on Master keys. Which, thanks to 11 lockboxes now, would be great if I had any pennies...
