Trekkies.. So that's 99.9999% male where as most of the characters will be female!

No thanks but may the forc.. oh wait no.

modo77 · 27 Aug 2009 at 19:40

Didn't know the beta applications where open, just looked now and it appears to be closed -.-

Lokai · 27 Aug 2009 at 19:44

People who ordered 6 month or lifetime subs for Champions Online get access. I am a CO lifer, so at the end of the year get access to the Star Trek Online beta

. Given how many subs have been sold I doubt there will be many free keys being given out for a while!

Teki187 · 27 Aug 2009 at 19:45

NDA is a terrible thing regards certain betas, if only they didn't exist

.

Grad · 27 Aug 2009 at 20:02

I'll probably refuse to play it but keep reading forums posts. Eventually, I will read a post which will get me interested (probably whilst in work) and will spend the rest of the day thinking of nothing but getting home and playing it. It will take over my life and I will sing its praises as the next best thing. 2 weeks later I'll uninstall it.

Kazz · 5 Sep 2009 at 16:00

They are now taking closed beta applications

Tombstone · 5 Sep 2009 at 16:11

I lost interest in this when they changed from their original idea of having multiple people on a ship. How awesome would it have been if you had a guild ship, where each person fulfilled certain roles. Medic, Chief Engineer, Science Officer, Helmsman etc etc. When they dropped that idea I just lost interest.

robinson09 · 5 Sep 2009 at 16:13

actually yeah i agree, as much as i still love the sound of this game now, a guild ship would be awesome. I can see the logic behind the change though,

Yeah it would go some thing like this ....

Capt kirk1111...quick sulu999 raise shields we are taking fire from klingons rock guild.

Sulu999.... my mum says i gotta log, cya guys...

Capt kirk1111.... W T F ..... BOOOOOM.

Tombstone · 5 Sep 2009 at 16:36

Its a pity though, would have been something really unique. In a way it would be a bit like some FPS games which have multiple players in a vehicle. I've never had one of my gunners in FPS just up and leave mid-fight.

You could also get around that by allowing multi-classing. Lets not forget that Sulu was originally a botanist. So you could have dual classing in the game so that the science officer could also be a qualified helmsman etc... just in case anyone leaves mid fight

HighlandeR · 5 Sep 2009 at 17:02

hmm liking the idea of that but its true you would just have 1000 bold headed picards on just one ship.... or even better a ship full of datas

It just wouldnt work

Could make it so that a guild could only have x number of each class, dependant on the size of the guild. So, say a guild of 40 players would be allowed a maximum of 4 of a class within the guild. 50, a maximum of 5 etc etc.

Then make the dual classing based on a primary class and a secondary class. So you might have primary class - Science Officer, secondary class - Helmsman. The primary class being the ones counting toward the quota.

Then some kind of bonus if you are using a primary class at its relevant station and/or penalty if its being operated by someone with it as their secondary class.

I'm sure with all the talented game designers in the world theres a way it could be done if they would just be willing to think outside the MMO box.

West · 5 Sep 2009 at 17:07

Quite looking forward to it. Have there been any dates set for beta yet?

wannabedamned · 5 Sep 2009 at 17:07

Is this just going to be full of fighting in ships and fighting on ground? If so it's not really interesting to me.

If federation can't attack federation, And so on. Then maybe, And if there are federation planets and zones, and klingon planets and zone, etc. Like in the Series, it'll be more fun.

But another boring online fighting game will be disappointing, as that's not what star trek is about. I want exploration! with maybe some fighting.

Also does anyone know if the Borg on this are AI controlled? As I'd prefer it that way to be honest.

West · 5 Sep 2009 at 17:13

I think the way it looks is that the Borg are gonna be NPC.

Just signed up for the Beta too, it's online on the site: http://www.startrekonline.com

I just signed up too, Doesnt hurt to try it and see if it's any good. Fingers crossed it is.

fluffmct · 5 Sep 2009 at 18:00

Aww this could potentially be immense. If it's even half decent there's no doubt I'll waste many an hour on it

Clairvoyant · 5 Sep 2009 at 18:36

this and KOTOR are the 2 im looking forward to.
