Yup, all the members are there. Although I have demoted all the inactive members to keep things simpler. Active members have been promoted and I have been addings lots of items to the fleet bank.

There sure is. We are called Full Impulse. If you post your character@handle as it appears in the chat window and I will add you. We also have our "OcUK" private chat channel.
 
Be using the same character, want my nice large ship back :p


Going to take me about 3 hours to download, hopefully some of you are still on around 10ish.

Getting quite a lot of content too. The user generated content should be here soon. Haven't played for ages, but really enjoying the new content and ships. Hoping the UGC makes the game stand out from other MMOs.

Edit: Also, I have 5 referral keys if anyone want any.

Would like a referral if possible, Email in trust thanks :)
 
I've enjoyed it recently too, the Breen missions were really good! I enjoyed it thoroughly. Loved the medical bit of one of the missions. Not your usual ground combat spam :)

Email sent in trust :)

Around quite a lot at the moment, so if anyone need help or have any questions, don't hesitate to ask (one of the many advantages of joining the OcUK fleet - post your character@handle for an invite). Keep in mind the demo is VERY limited.
 
Finally downloaded the game and the patch. No idea what I am doing any more or where to go, plus I went up two ranks and got a lot of "stuff" as soon as I logged on. No idea what any of it was lol.

My Sovereign still looks great.
 
They should have scrapped ground based gameplay in STO and stuck with an all out space game with all the characteristics involving key Star Trek events, similar to Eve Online but not the same.

Agreed. Ground combat is my least favourite part - however, it is much more fun now that I have my Borg and Breen bridge officers :)

I havent yet played with the Breen Officer, is he any good? Is there another Borg Officer now? Or are you talking about the preorder bonus Borg?

Do you remember the Breen "ice/cone" power that would freeze/damage anything caught in its radius for a few seconds? Well he has that. I also gave him the weapon reward from the series. He is stronger than about 2-3 of the rest of my away team. The Borg BO is the one from the preorder - I never received it from Amazon because of their screw up, so recently used some of my free Cryptic points in the c-store. At least keeps ground combat a little interesting.

Reminder - I can invite to the OcUK fleet and have free demo referrals for anyone interested. Should be on this afternoon and late evening.
 
There is actually a 2nd recruitable Borg officer, but that is only awarded if you do an achievement in one of the final borg missions. The Breen officer is a good ground pounder, but not so good for space.

This weeks doobry, a subspace field modulator is a little nifty.

I've been playing for about a month now, and I'm seeing signs that it's getting better, and they have a roadmap planned for where they're going. The weekly missions are certainly a step in the right direct. And now you can swap Emblems to Marks of Honour/Exploration/Valour.

Anon-e-mouse@Anon-e-mouse for the fleet invite plz.

Welcome to the fleet :) - good to have a lifer in there! I am sure there were other lifers lurking around here somewhere...
 
Want to give this a try.... what is the story about the demo ? Is it worth the download and how long can one play for without comitting any monies ?
Also, is the 'Digital Deluxe' any better graphically ?

The digital deluxe isn't better graphically, just comes with more "special" items. But for an MMO the game looks great anyway (space combat much more over ground combat). The demo is very very short apparently - literally just the tutorial I think and one mission after. However, the game can be picked up for £15 in most places which comes with a month free play time. Pretty good value with the content that has been added now. If after that month you aren't enjoying it, nothing much lost. That, or wait for the game to come down in price more. However, if you DO want a demo key, email me in trust and I will pass one along to you.
 
CaptainRAVE is right about the demo. Was surprised how pointless and short it really was, but you can try it as it is the same as the game anyway, so is not a wasted download.
 
Nice to see some direction. dstahl has worked wonders wiith the game lately.
