Star Trek Online

[Ecarus]

I'll have to update mine, have a lifetime account, but the ground combat stopped me from continually playing it.

[Chicken wings]

Thought it worthy to bump this thread because of new updates. Really like season 3 and its overhaul of the crafting system (I CAN ACTUALLY MAKE SHIT NOW!!!) I tried the foundry on the tribble test shard and it has some great potential to be the best MMO content creator. New utra items (Aegis/Borg) have been added which is cool as well.

[DokVis]

Tell me if this gets better, I was hoping for a shooter and a space combat game mixed into one

[nono345]

yeah I remember enjoying the beta a bit, wouldn't hesitate playing this if they implemented the procedural missions or some other cool features

Oh god... Might have to get back into the game, if they really make all the update the game is going to be a lot better since when I last played it (Release)

[nono345]

nonplayers have no idea what half that stuff will do- anyone willing to translate?

-snip double post-

[Pinut]

Found 2 old codes for a pet shuttle, Got these at release no idea if they still work.

Going to post all 4 because I personally used 2 but no idea which ones..

SRUK5-EAXPC-HDLT4-KFUKC-QYC3V
SRUK5-C7QBD-T7L4D-AGHE9-GMTHA
SRUK5-AUM8V-JDUBW-EUQPN-7ANEY
SRUK5-49J64-BXTU8-X7XNN-DFKY6

They were from pre-ordering from gamestation. No idea if they're obtainable ingame or only via these (not played since first month).

[Tuskin]

If you guys are on the tribble test server they released a new version of the First post-Tutorial mission "Stranded in Space" they added some cutscenes, new dialogue and changed the maps.

You can access it from the Mission replay terminal from your ready room on your ships bridge, or make a new character... but thats the long way. It also scales with your characters level.

Cryptic goof'd again, the new Klingon shuttle on tribble Transwarps to ESD. You can't beam down to ESD, but you can go to any other starbase, beam down and change ships. Also apparently all the civilians on DS9 pack phasers.

[QUOTE=Pinut;27584502]How much exactly? Last I read was that they were adding daily borg missions that had better equipment rewards[/QUOTE]

Well a lot... Daily Borg missions? Don't remember anything like that. They have added 2 new missions series 5 missions each, a third one starting February 5th.
Klingon PvE missions. new ships, higher level Cap. I dunno, IMO its improved a whole hell of a lot since last year. I would have cancelled my sub the second month in if I was paying monthly, but I had a lifetime so I just kept playing once and a while. I play a lot more now then I did then.

Crafting has improved a a lot.

There is a mission maker on Tribble test server right now, should be on the Live server by sometime in March.

You should check out the official forums or STO wiki

Borg/Aegis Parts + Holoskins

They updated Spacedock more. I'm assuming they're releasing the new exterior model next week at the one year anniversary.

[Lordgeorge16]

I'd buy this game if they ever released the Borg as a playable class. I'd love to be in command of a Cube, destroying and assimilating every Federation and Klingon vessel that flies by! :devil:

[-AJ-]

Is it even worth going back into this game? I played it through beta and mildly enjoyed it even though it was a massive grindfest with quests where you go to point A and kill, kill and kill. Not exactly in the Star trek spirit to be honest to boldly go and kill. On release STO was just a huge dissapointment. Heard it's changed a lot now in that year, groundcombat hugely improved, autofire is back, weekly episodes etc and just wondered if it was worth checking out again?

[Gloriam]

I see it's a lot cheaper now, just wanted to know.. Is it possible to buy subs through steam's payment methods just like the game itself?

That'd be a good idea if borg had free will at all. Being able to play as them would feel kinda contradictory to their entire point.

Not that I know of, I doubt it though. But you do get a month free with the game anyway.

Well, I mean they'd still be under the control of the Collective, but they can say most players' actions can be simply "orders" from the hive mind.

Rage! Update was pushed back one day. Oh well, anyway for everyone Earth Space Dock is going to be a shit fest tomorrow so you should start playing now for the epicness that will ensue

[Chicken wings]

Romulans are coming around season 4 or 5 one of which is in april I can't remember

[Combineguy]

this event is awesome

[Norzone]

Haven't played in a long time, hows the game?

[Combineguy]

yeah by this summer ground combat should be less shitty
space combat is the best combat in the game right now and im glad when i get to play any mission that involves me blowing shit up with cannons
