I played for the first time last night and absolutely loved it. Just finished the tutorial and I think I will head to starbase 24 tonight as I've read thats where the better weapons are.
Could I join the fleet? terish@graystown
Oh btw, I am running it on a laptop with a Radeon HD3200 chip and it runs fine.

May be worth checking the minimum specs on the main website. It is supposed to scale very well to lower specs.

Their website specifically says it supports crossfire, so I'd say it'll run quite well. I can post more luscious screenies if you're still wavering
Yeah all for more screenies
Talking to a mate that has it also seems to be a different mmo aspect to thingsI gave in anyhow ..and bought it off steam
first mmo ive played since i gave up wow before the 1st expansion .. 2 years odd?

Anyone know what day the content patch falls on, im actually considering returning all 3 of my copies 
Just seems to be nothing to do endgame, a lot of it is repetitive and as someone else pointed out you level far far too fast. It does feel like a single player game.

Really, spend some time doing something else every now and then
You must be playing this non-stop to have levelled up as much as possible and done all missions!
I suppose this must just be for the more casual gamers, which for us is perfect. There is so much to do and see it will take us forever to get through it all. Though a bit more variety from fighting would be nice

I guess i was playing it everyday after work and a full friday but not much more than that due to server downtimes and being busy with other stuff. I think im too used to other mmos where it would take literally weeks of playtime to get to end game.
The reason im giving it a chance is because i understand it is a brand new mmo and things arent going to be perfect, just worried that it wont get any better after reading comments from players who subscribed to cryptics other mmos.
Quite a few lifetimers have received refunds as they are still within the 30 day free play time, and that window is making me a little anxious i guess.
Bought 3 copies for the bonuses that come with the preorders, i also get 30days free play time with each one aswell as cryptic points which i was going to use to purchase additional content through the cstore... One of the copies is physical so i could get those goodies in the box, which in the end were pretty dissapointing anyway

Some people are redoing defend the sector missions (and what I would call is a cheat).
You keep changing instance until you find ones that are being done (4/9 5/9 or what ever). As that instance is half or almost done. It does not take long to do 3 of them. Then you hail Starfleet. Get the rewards, rinse and repeat. Couple of hours and you can level a lot.
I do the missions once then move on. Im LtC 7, and am doing every mission as they are handed out.
So it will take me longer but Im having more fun.

When i leveled i did the patrol mission and the main missions from the admirals etc. Now at Captain 7+ i had to farm defend sector missions in order to reach the next level which in turn would give me new missions to complete. Note that the missions i was receiving were +3 over my curret level anyway.
Leveling system is quite messed up when you reach captain.
You cant farm the sector defence missions as easily now, i believe the skill points awarded are reduced as you level and even after that i think you can do them 3 times max per day.

Not wishing to pee on anyones chips , I finished playing STO after the open beta due to the repetitive nature of the gameplay.
Levelling up needs looking at as it happens far too quick , so what do you do after reaching Admiral. Besides starting again as a Klingon ?
I liked the concept of the game but it has a bit to go yet to convince me to buy as I'm still not sure what this game is supposed to be exactly.
This game isn't an MMO as you know it , its a lot of people online playing SP missions and then meeting up to swap kit, socialise and try to arrange co op missions so that the instancing doesn't split them up.
The game design will never lend itself to being a MMO in the truest sense of the word, i.e. you will never be a member of someones crew on their ship etc. From my experiences interacting with your fleetmates was minimal usually by typing in the chatbox.
I'm not saying this is a bad game , just different , and while I was playing it it was great fun but ultimately the lack of gameplay depth and direction of the game stopped me paying monthly for it.
