Games Star Trek MMO

[Tilda]

I'm loving this game

 

[Ctuchik]

I love it Aada and I'm not exactly an MMO fan. The constant 11am-1pm downtime is starting to fuck me off though

better then primetime downtime

 

[Ctuchik]

It's fun, but it's not really an mmorpg.

Everything is instanced, pvp isn't the greatest but flying starships is a blast.

I wouldn't say it'll have long term appeal, but it's something fun to play for now.

aye, unsure about the endgame here. especially for klingons that only have very little pve.

Really enjoying this game and I usually don't get on with MMO's

I am taking my time with this one as Cryptic have said they rolling out tons of new content for Klingons and proper End Game Missions and Fleet actions etc.

Only Lvl 10 at the mo, should hit 11 tonight and get me a new ship.

Though I hope they get new servers up soon, I got stuck in a queuing system last night (is that normal for a MMO) though it did enable me to take a break from STO and finish some of my other games I haven't finished yet.

 

[chipper]

theres no plans to introduce any more servers just up the cap as needed afaik

 

[Ctuchik]

they did have new servers on "rush order" in open beta, tho if they have arrived and been connected or not i dont know.

those fleet action maps never hooked me. usually only a few per map actually works together while the rest rush off to solo their own fleet, die horribly and leave.

had a go at that crystaline entity fleet action but i gave up after the 20th time of it going from 5% to 90%+ because to many idiots started shooting the large shards.

even had a dude in one map help with ramming in in a t5 ship and they still failed to kill it...

they adding more servers... but it isnt seperate playing server.

What they mean is they got new server systems that will be put into the current cluster which will increase the capacity. And these should be coming "soon"

 

[Tallen]

The grace period is almost completely up and all those head-start cancellation accounts will be stopped soon.

That'll drop a lot of the gold farm spam hopefully and drop the server load as well as all the freeloaders get removed finally.

 

[Talyn]

My box turned up today, just in time for the cut off, so I'm free and easy on this now... just need to play it for 2 years to get my moneys worth... Just hopethe promises aren't broken.

press O, go to search, at the bottom of that page is a grey little dude that when hovered over says "search visibility" or something, klick that and chose "friends only" = no more gold spam

I like the banter in sector chat usually.

I like the banter in sector chat usually.

you can still use zone chat. ppl just cant find you in searches.

think of it as /anon in DAoC just that ppl on your friends list can still see you.

 

[Tallen]

Ahh, thanks for that

It appears that fleets are starting to post on the official forums about bank thefts and the like - can we lock down the energy credits so people can't withdraw them, so we can save up for more tabs.

The items are less of a deal, considering it's always full, and most of that can be replaced.

My concern is that when we manage to save a million for the new tab, and some bugger comes along and withdraws it all. It'll be a pain to save up again.

 

[inactionman]

I've set withdraw limits to zero for everyone but officers, but apparently it doesn't work. Tempted to withdraw it all and hold onto it for now, it's about 225k and I have 1.5M currently.

 

[Talyn]

I have no problem with that - if you do hold onto it, let me know, cause i'll send you some more.

 

[MYstIC G]

I owe 2k cos I couldn't be arsed to sell shit halfway through a mission last night (or perhaps the night before)

PS: lol @

thought it was all fh people and friends thereof ? so if someone nicks it, they pay it back or their mates does ?

 

[Ch3tan]

WE can change the permissions, any officer can iirc.

heh, missed this whole page of posts... the permissions don't work? eeek!

Well apart from the FH boys, I know 3 of the other people in the clan, don't have a scooby about the rest.


edit:// so maybe best practise is not to make any deposits for now? Let inactionman manage the fleet money. When we have enough for a new tab, we all deposit and buy it at the same time?

That's fair, no problem with that.

For reference, 2 of the guys I've invited -

@Vortigern Wolf
@Draggon74

I've known for about 20 years now, I know where they live, (and I know Vorty owns a shotgun) so if they do borrow and run, I have plans in place for revenge... but, yeah, they are good guys.

On a separate note, way earlier in this thread (i think) it was mentioned that we don't need a Star Trek forum - is it worth asking 'tptb' to set one up now?

 

[MYstIC G]

tptb are already here. Do you lot actually want one?

 

[Ch3tan]

Set one up and see if its used?

 

[Ctuchik]

hmm, guess your royally fucked in this game if you dont like to pvp or do the repeatables...

havent pvp'd that much on my main and he's all out of story quests since 23, and he's 25 now

 

[inactionman]

Didn't find that myself, but I did do the DSE's and Exploration missions a bit.

I've cleaned out the bank all night. IOFF 275k energy credits. I'm off to scunthorpe with my new ill-found gains!

Send any energy credits for the fleet to me. I'll keep a running tally and buy the new tab with them.

Tempted to suggest using the new tab for stockpilling upgradables/resources and sponsoring a couple of people to upgrade stuff. What do people think?

 

[MYstIC G]

I put those engines back in the bank, I'm too lowly to use them
How do we send you energy credits direct dude?

 

[inactionman]

You should be able to just mail them.

 

[MYstIC G]

Ohhhh... it's like Western Union MMORPG style!!!

Before I do can you send me a message telling me which level of royal family you are and which non European country you reside in?
