STAR TREK ONLINE: The |OT| of Going Where No Gamer Has Gone Before....

Box copy arrived just a little bit ago. It's installed and patching, so it looks like a reinstall fixed my issue.
Hopefully it doesn't happen again. Cryptic at least needs to reply to me to let me know what that error code I sent them means. I really don't want to have to reinstall and re-patch every time the issue comes up.
Too bad I have to go to work now.

The tier 5 escorts rock!
Did you know you could use voice commands to control your ship? I believe this will determine who is the trekiest. :lol

Also, for making fast turns, try cutting your speed in half for the first half of the turn, than going back up to full to finish it out. Saves you a few seconds.

I'm imaging the trekiest nerd out there right now...he plays the game with this wall modeled as the front of the bridge, with a widescreen projector as his display. He sits in his command chair, wearing his Starfleet uniform. He also dies his hair white and shaves his head. Finally, he speaks with a British accent.

and thats precisely why I think people are enjoying this game. Champions Online was horrid and Cryptic didn't get talent overnight.
Eve is uninteresting to me but they did the whole space thing perfectly. In this, I'm running incredibly boring errands in tiny boxes of space with an obligatory star and planet skybox.
I'd agree with Eve in the sense that it feels much more like an actual Galaxy, combat controls weren't too great though (although the skillset is much, much deeper)
Although to be fair, anything less than TIE Fighter/Freespace level of control feels cheap so can't help them there =P

I need either help or confirmation on getting the colors right. Trying to do a DS9 science uniform for my Joined Trill. I'm color blind so I might be a bit off.
edit: second try
Any better? Are the shoulders blue and inside purple-grey, or did I reverse it? I really can't tell. =\

I'd lighten the blue a shade or two, but other than that I think you're spot on.

Because it's different. Space combat is fun to watch at least. Getting to fly different ships and live in the Star Trek universe is a unique experience.
It's not perfect, and I think it has a long way to go, but it has a good license and the gameplay is unique enough to make it worth it. I've gotten really tired of WoW clones, so this is a nice change of pace. Also, the game is very polished as far as launch MMOs go, though certain people would have you believe otherwise.

Well not exactly a Dax...but close enough.
I figured I had the DDE and the CE, so I had the opportunity to make a legitimate Dax-like character.
On the plus side, Joined Trill seems to make a great science officer (+6 to Starship Operations).

Your comm badge is the wrong one as well if your trying to get the uniform bag on, but yeah the shoulder blue should be 2 tones lighter.

In Space:
Phaser: Chance to disable a random subsystem
Disruptor: Chance to debuff damage resistance
Plasma: Chance to proc a fire based DoT
Tetryon: Chance to proc Shield damage
Polaron: Chance to drain power from all subsystems
Anti-Proton: Bonus Crit damage
Projectile:
Photon: Less damage but faster fire rate. Regular boff effect.
Quantum: More damage but slow fire rate. Regular boff effect.
Plasma: medium damage with a chance to apply a DoT that ignores shields (decent against both unshielded and shielded targets). Plasma's version of High Yield fires a Plasma Ball that can be targeted and shot down.
Transphasic: low damage, but much more of it penetrates shields (very good against shielded targets, mediocre against unshielded targets). Comes with standard Boff powers.
Chroniton: can slow down enemies. (nice for making enemies' weakened shields harder to protect, or as a rear launcher to use when running away). Comes with standard Boff powers.
Tricobalt: very high damage, and a short disable effect (stops target from using any powers for a moment). has a very long cooldown and doesn't get modified by Boff powers.
On Ground:
Phaser: Chance to stun
Disruptor: Chance to debuff damage resistances
Plasma: Chance to proc fire based DoT
Tetryon: Chance to proc Shield damage
Polaron: Chance to proc weapon disable
Anti-Proton: Bonus Crit damage
Hate the trash heap that is the Official Forum right now (hopefully they go to paying members only soon to get rid of most of the trolls), but there is an occasional nugget of gold in among all that dross. This thread is one such nugget.
I personally roll with Dual Disruptor Beam Arrays, Photon Torpedoes, and Quantum Mines, but I've been thinking about Plasma Torpedoes (since they have been a subject of discussion in Fleet chat of late) and wondering if their ability would work with the BOff ability "Torpedo Spread". It could be very useful against groups of targets.

The forum lockdown was meant to happen on the 2nd so all the people on there moaning are probably paying people, most of the moans are about bonus items not working which is a fair point in my book as all the uniforms are broken for boffs and its odd they couldn't get them working for launch.
I personally use quantum torps, will probably have 1 quantum and 1 chroniton launcher.
Edit: Oh new updates nice, character login screen has been changed, you can see each characters rank and profession now.
Weapon colour changing has been removed as well
