Looking good. Plus Enterprise J is shiny. May have to look into the UGC if I have time. Make a chnage from X3 modding. Could be good fun creating suff.

Looks to me like they're prioritising pointless cosmetic stuff that they're going to try to flog in the c-store :mad:

Most everything on the c-store can be obtained in-game. I wish there was more news of a new playable race though.

Apart from 1 or 2 ships, Hopefully they wont carry on adding pay only ships.

They must have made a killing on the C-store. I have seen so many of these ships flying around.

badgeruk · 21 Oct 2010 at 18:59

Yep. At least we know who to blame if they carry on added game changing stuff for real money.

Ooo Talaxian Species

Im happy now

Thnx CaptainRAVE. Does the standard £15 edition from the rainforest river place come with 30 days free play too ?... it does not make it clear. Really want to try, the 30 days trial will clinch it, and if it is any good, a life sub for me...

Sleepery · 22 Oct 2010 at 08:57

Yep, you get 30 days free with the game.

CaptainRAVE · 22 Oct 2010 at 08:59

Yep, any retail purchase of the game will come with 30 days free. Once setup, lets us know your captainname@accountname and I can invite you to the OcUK fleet

. Delbert, would you mind emailing me in trust (button under this post) so that I can send you a referral key BEFORE you apply the retail key? I think I might get free stuff for doing this

Could be quite useful too:

Once your friend has purchased Star Trek Online, you’ll receive a brand new title – Courier – as well as an exclusive Holographic Tribble Pet! What’s more, you both can enjoy:

* A special power to instantly travel to your friend (first 30 days).
* A 5% Captain and Officer skill point bonus when you’re teamed up (first 15 days).
* A 5% damage bonus when you’re teamed up (first 15 days).

Is it actually useful free stuff? i thought it was just stuff from the cryptic store. I really cannot remember

Cryptic points - so nothing TOO amazing. But also the bonuses posted above - quite useful for teaming with new members. Although slipstream drive should get me there pretty quickly and I can transwarp to most starbases now.

krisab · 22 Oct 2010 at 11:47

Well i suppose getting some cryptic points is better than none

Im finally back on to STO after a busy week. My charcter is SniffBoo@krisab

Do i have to be online at a certain time to get the invite?

Nope, will invite you when I get on later. The invite will pop up when you log-in.

Edit: Invited

Holographic Tribble Pet is great. Did wonder where I got it from.

Cavallino · 22 Oct 2010 at 14:39

I was on Commander last I stopped playing. Does one still need to go to that Alpha whatsit place to make more "l33ter" equipment?

Don't think so. They have implemented a new system - I think you can craft now without going there, assuming you have all the stuff in your inventory. I still sell most of my anomolies - except the new rare ones (that you can't anyway).

Still enjoying the Breen dailies - the sector is really atmospehric!

Edit: Just invited some old Champions Online group friends to STO - they are a friendly bunch. Will hopefully help keep Full Impulse populated. I think we need another Fleet Admiral too - ideally a lifer. Any offers?

krisab · 22 Oct 2010 at 17:16

Thankyou for letting me join. Hopefully i will be ale to meet some of you tonight. I still need to finish of the weekly before tomorrows pops up.

Just out of interest how many lifers do we have here?

Anon-e-mouse · 22 Oct 2010 at 21:55

And how many lifer's are there?

You do still need to goto Memory Alpha to craft. Although you can find out what you need before you go there now. My main toon can craft anything.

IIRC referrals, get you a title, the holographic tribble, and if you get enough the Future Enterprise (also available on C-Store).. But that ship is not worth it in my opinion, it steers like a brick and has carp BO slots, and dodgy console slots.

It also looks horrible imo. Servers down
