"I think what I was hoping for was more Star Trek the original series, or Star Trek the newest movies, not Star Trek the Next Generation."
I think you have it backwards, STO is set in the JJ Abrham's ST universe, with planet Vulcan destroyed and so…
Yeah, that's all there has ever been: circle, fire weapons, repeat.
The Romulan content is a nice addition but the game's mechanics are still bland and relatively boring (IMHO).

OP, if you think LOTRO is cash shop heavy, you won't be happy with STO. The biggest difference though is while LOTRO charges for access to new content (modules), STO does not. STO may be F2P but it has has a robust cash shop that recieves frequent…
No offense but saying that STO is better now than when it launched is kind of silly. The game was ushered out in a half-complete state. It is natural to think that after a few years the game would reach a somewhat polished state. It brings to mind…
Originally posted by ompgaming I understand that you can only play as the Federation or Klingon. Setting the Klingon thing to the side for a moment, is everyone who plays as Federation IN the Federation as a Starfeet guy or can you be sort of freel…
VirusDancer: "It may be a case that they're not as focused on certain aspects of Star Trek that part of the community wants; but that's not the same as saying it's not "Star Trek"...."
Lets just leave it at "they're not focused".
Originally posted by Skooma2 I am considering dropping LotRO to play this. (No trolling please as to either game.) However, I have no idea what the problem is with lock boxes since I have no idea what a lock box is. So, what is a lock box?

Shortly before STO went F2P silver accounts (which later became the F2P access tier), had it's storage space significantly reduced. That was a sure indicator that Cryptic was going to make storage a major commodity. When my current main character …
That kind of reminds me when I tried signing up for America's Army a couple months after it opened. I started out trying a login name I could easily remember, no luck - all were taken. Tried tossing on some extra numbers, again no luck. I finally…
If you're not a fan of the IP, I'd have to say no. Fans like myself overlook the game's many inadequacies, it's a superficial space game that requires little skill or effort. End game can be reached within a month (or less). I'd suggest giving …
http://serverstatus.tk/ (Select Star Trek Online from the Games dropdown list). They list status for all the servers (For instance as I'm writing this it is says the login server as up but the game servers are down).

Click the link below and watch the 30 second tv ad that ran at launch. It has 3 scenes of commanding from the bridge (4 if you count the Klingon). At about 18 seconds in there's a scene that depicts exactly what the OP wanted. And that's all you'…
"...I can see the reason why this game whent free to play.. But as its now free, you cant really complain."
Sure there will be complaints. It's not free to the subscribers or the LTS. They still have good cause to be disgruntle. Also the game …
The US passed through Fascism (corporate run) a couple years ago and is quickly heading towards Totalitarianism (police state). Two recent rulings that people should be worried about: the "indefinite detention bill" which was passed in December as …

When I purchase things from Lord of The Rings Online's shop I get an email confirmation of the purchase. Does Cryptic do anything like that? [I'm guessing the answer is "no", else you wouldn't be in this siduation.]
