Which console does it run better on? Chunky download to get twice to compare for me.

firehawk12 · Sep 6, 2016

I'm annoyed that lifetime on PC doesn't get you jack on consoles...

Tobor · Sep 6, 2016

I really enjoyed this back in the day on PC but I always wanted a console version so bad. The mouse and keyboard controls sucked for me.

WIll absolutely try again on PS4.

This is what I want to know as well before I download it.

Isn't this free to play in some degree? I think the pc version was?

It's the fourth sentence in the OP, but yes it is f2p.

firehawk12 · Sep 6, 2016

Wow, the Lifetime is like 280 bucks and it doesn't come with the monthly credit bonus that you get on PC.

Assume when EU version comes out it will have different servers? Is there currently a choice of servers?

This couldkill the game for me. Neverwinter uses one set of servers and just instances everything, so all regions get to play together.

Ya don't see this doing something different I will ask

So i'm in the UK, is there anyway for me to download this from the US marketplace? Xbox One user.

So how are the microtransactions? Pay to win or largely cosmetic? If its the later can the cosmetic items be acquired normally and paying just saves you (presumably a lot of) time?

You will eventually need to buy top level ships, is my understanding.
But I think there's an in-game currency that you can farm to buy them, but obviously it's going to be slower.

There's a lot of sinks in the game that I've noticed, even with my brief return to the PC. Ships, gear for ships, bridge officers, duty officers. Even respecing your character will cost money eventually.

How do games like this work? Just how far can you get without spending a dime?

On the PC version I'm currently at level 56 and haven't spent a single penny on it.

I see. Well, Ill try it out, if it knocks my socks off I have no problem throwing some money their way.

linking accounts is a pain in the ass. Hopefully a restart will set it straight

The number of us who have beat it with no pay is countless. That's pretty easy. But if you want to get the absolute top tier ships than you can do events which are somewhat rare or do microtransactions. At that point its probably a moment to pay the devs back a bit anyway lol. There are some random items and such that are very difficult to get without Micros. The thing about this game is its coming out with all of its expansions and episodes for free so its not like a new game that means its bottom floor free content is insane.

thecjm · Sep 6, 2016

The ground gameplay is last, last gen at this point, and the space battles all feel the same. But this is by far my favourite dress-up game. Setting up different uniforms for each and every crew member is the best part of the game.

Are ship names unique per server or can there be multiple of the same one? I didn't notice a check when I entered mine ...

If it's like the PC version, ship names and registry numbers just need to be unique to you.

The PC version has a monthly fee option that gives you a certain amount of zen per month is that available on ps4?

People on reddit say that lifetime on console doesn't include the Zen bonus, so I assume not.

There's also a lot of QoL stuff too like inventory space and bank space and stuff. But I assume you can use dilithium to buy that too.

Switched my X1 to US region and downloading it now. I loved playing this as a Klingon or Romulan, can't wait to see how it shapes up on console.

Wow, thanks for the link.
Its like the guy was talking directly to me, addressing my immediate questions with words of reassurance and video as proof.

I haven't seen a 3-minute video that encouraging in a while.
Downloading now on XB1.

Dragoshi1 · Sep 6, 2016

Playing as a dinosaur man guy for the Klingons, having fun so far, on Xbone. How do we zoom in the camera, though? Sometimes it zooms out really far by itself in between cutscenes.

Hold A cycle camera

And by all means everyone. Use the calendar in the options to see what events are coming up. Can't easily explain how useful they are.

Norwegian_Imposter · Sep 6, 2016

Yeah if it's like $15 a month and it gives you a certain amount of currency I'm all in on this.

k1t4j · Sep 6, 2016

the guys on X box one, which side are you playing i started as a klingon, but those romulan ships are wicked though.....

Dizzy-4U · Sep 6, 2016

Does anyone know if these console upgrades are going to come out to the PC version?

I have too much time/money invested on the PC version to fully convert, but I'm going to give the Xbox version a spin. I'm alt-happy so probably make one of everything. If y'all don't mind having a part-timer I'd be interested in joining a GAF guild.

I might join a ps4 fleet. Won't be back from vacation until the 19th though.

Cool I'll start today when I get home and see if anyone on GAF would like to join up.

If anyone playing on PS4 would like to group up for some missions and to form the beginnings of a GAF fleet please PM me.

Karak · Sep 7, 2016

I guess maybe a community thread for guilds on console only? Can someone make that?

Tirod · Sep 7, 2016

On PS4 I use a keyboard and mouse to play FF XIV.

Does Star Trek on console also support keyboard and mouse? I'll totally download and try it if it does.

SlickVic · Sep 7, 2016

Got into Star Trek last year with TNG and now going through DS9, but never checked out STO. With these console versions seems like a good excuse to check it out. Shame PSN is down at the moment.

jond76 · Sep 7, 2016

Wow, this is lots of fun! I'll be dumping some time into this for sure.

I went to the link in the op. Then changed my location on the xbox and it started downloading.
Switched back afterwards.

JC Lately · Sep 7, 2016

Still showing as 'waiting' on my download queue. PSN down again?

Maligna · Sep 7, 2016

Any way to swing the camera around to the front of your character?

SlickShoes · Sep 7, 2016

Do you need to all be the same faction to be in a fleet with friends?

ScientificPizza · Sep 7, 2016

Huh. I'd like to try this with a controller. I bet the ship combat is a lot better

Jabba · Sep 7, 2016

It's a fun game.

Agree. I thought it was pretty good on pc. Later on, I thought the game deserved some cash for ships I liked, plus all the content in game players have a chance to play.

It's on the UK store now, I hope the link works first time posting a psn link.

Searched for Star Trek and it was the first result.

PS4 Obviously.

I hate FPS dropping.

Don't think I've ever played a game without fps drops.
