Indeed, but it'll probably get ruined by the cash shop.

Definitely give Vanguard a look before the "free" honeymoon wears off. Low level areas that had 0-4 players in them last month now have dozens, and there are dungeons at virtually all levels (quality can always be debated, but for sheer quantity Va…
STO isn't even in the same category/genre as EvE - other than "space" the two have nothing in common - so comparisons between the two don't really lead us anywhere.
If you need a comparison, STO is far more analogous to WoW or EQ2, just in a diffe…

I guess it depends on what you expect from STO. Not sure if anyone actually answered your original…
What Cacaphony said; it's likely your problem.
You might find some value in starting all over anyway, though--a handful of the first missions have new rewards, like the initial Azura mission where you can now get a "summonable" trade freighter as…
Sector space no longer that closed-in feel it had at launch because they... uh... added a toggle to allow you to remove the astrometrics gridlines while traveling. So now it's wide open!
Except it's, well, not.

I think F2P is a good acronym, and LOTRO is an excellent example of how to do it right. Never need to spend a dime all the way to cap.
Agree.
The games are free to play. Maybe not free to dominate, free to pwn or fr…
Alas, I'm on team Eddie here, I couldn't stick with it either. Still great write-ups and advice here though, thanks. I just don't have the huge amount of time this game is going to require, and I don't have the patience to google-translate a Japan…
Originally posted by MadDemon64 Agreed on the ship battle part, but honestly, can we call Star Trek an "explorers show"? Mostly its interspecies politics. Most discoveries come in the form of "how the politics of one species, while different than …
The only "discoveries" in STO would be role-playing related... and you'd have to do all the imaginary work yourself. There are diplomatic missions in random star clusters which are ostensibly "first contact", so if you have an active imagination yo…
They definitely haven't been removed outright, because I still have a half dozen or so sitting in my bank. There are also some duty officer missions attached to the science speciality for breeding tribbles (although you have to have certain specifi…
I appreciate the time you took to craft a response here. Netmarble should really consider putting you on the marketing payroll given the information you've already provided in this forum.
Now that I know I can undo any minor stupid decisions I mak…
CSI Online.
If you gank someone, you have to cover your tracks somehow, otherwise the community can use evidence found at the scene against you in MMO court. If the evidence is solid, your identity is exposed for some fixed amount of time and yo…
"More" in what time frame? There's been quite a bit of "ground" added since launch, but it's still the same clunky ground combat it's always been.
The most recent season added the Tholians, and you can now go fight Tholians on Nukara in an environ…
Yes.
Stumbled on to this article today. "Unfortunately it happens from time to time that a good concept for a game cannot be implemented as originally planned."

Were you interested in this game before it came out? Why? Why not?:
Not particularly. I have fond memories of KOTOR but also specific memories of them having no real replayability to them. Also, although I never tried SWG, the SWTOR "era" of Star…
Considering how much time is spent in combat, and that I agree with you that it was pretty drab and the "action-point" combat is more than a little dull, I couldn't stick with the game.
But it should at least get a 10/10 for Polish, shouldn't it? …

Good read! But if this paragraph is true I guess I've already decomposed. Sigh.
