Star Trek Online

How are ship interiors working. Can you free roam in you ship? Looking at the stations. Sit in the captains chair and order "engage"? Does the ship travel when you visit your captains quarter?

Really tempted to come back to STO, but i played it at launch and it wasn't that great.

Has it changed much?

It has changed a lot. Too many things to list, but a number here have returned and are enjoying it. I too stopped playing shortly after lauch, but with all of the new content it has come a long way. There also seems to be a lot planned over the next few months e.g. implementation of user generated content, ground combat revamp, sector space revamp etc.

No, the ship interior is still instanced. However you can finally walk to most of the main locations on your ship.

Thanks for that.

I remember being in the "ocuk" guild back in launch and i remember you from there. So its nice to see a familiar face.

Is that guild still going and are invites still being given out?
 
Still going strong. A few members here are still around from release. A number have also returned since I started my sub again a month ago 0 all I have spoken to are enjoying the experience. We must have about 20-30 active members on there now (on at some time or another). We have also started up fleet events and have been teaming for dailies etc. It is worth checking out. If you want an invite just post your captain@accountname and one of us will add you.

I've done the CE Fleet Action (and got 1st place), it's knowing how to do it and getting enough people to achieve it.

There is now the Klingon Scout force daily fleet action too. Perhaps we will decide based on how many people turn up. Fleet PvP could be pretty cool too (thanks to JGBR for finding that one, didnt realise it existed).
 
Remember there is still not actually any way to ensure a fleet group can get into the same fleet action instance together.
 
Very true, but given that most fleet actions are empty these days (I guess people are doing the new episodes and "endgame content") I don't see it being a problem. As long as we are in the same team, it *should* put us in the same instance. If it doesn't, we can always manually move into the same one.
 
To the fleet,

In response to requests from fleet members, the events this weekends will involve a little PvP and a selection of fleet actions. - with some teaming for dailies afterwards

Saturday's meet at 2pm will be the PvP event - if you go to the PvP menu and select "Challenge" it is possible to setup PvP between fleet members! I suggest a meeting at Earth spacedock. Unfortunately, I will be unable to make this event.

Sunday's meet at 2pm will be the fleet action. Daily fleet actions seem to have been implemented (although some don't seem available everyday!). I am not sure if they can be shared, but I figure we can just get together and decide which fleet action to do. Most are usually empty these days, but with enough members I am sure we can do them! The great thing with the fleet actions (as Anon-E-Mouse pointed out) is that we can switch to the same instance as lower levelled members of the fleet. There should also be a good selection of rewards on offer and I will happily donate any good drops to lower levelled members.

See you all this weekend,
Fleet Admiral CaptainRAVE.

Edit: Anyone needing a referral key?

I'm considering buying this, its only 15 quid or so and you get 30 days free play. Is the game better now, I heard all sorts of bugs were around, there wasnt enough to do and the gameplay was a bit slow? Will I be able to play with you guys? If so, do I need to join a particular server? I could start this weekend, but will be some noob with a noob ship I guess, but it would be more fun if there are some others to team up with and do stuff :)

Only one server so no need to select the right one, you would be able to play with us depending on what you want to do (some things cant be done till later levels). Plus post your name up like CaptainRAVE has said in the last few pages and one of us will invite you to the fleet.

There is plenty to do if you are just starting now, the problem at release was lack of any end game content at all which is now improving and will be far better once you reach that point. Bugs are not that common either any more (wasn't that many at release).
 
I picked this up last night and have been bashing around a bit. I think my captains name is Vail@Carathas, but not sure on that one.
 
New sector space (on Tribble, coming with season 3) -


1 Stars grow and shrink as you approach and depart them
2 Warp startrails fly by
3 Space feels HUGE
4 Warp feels like warp with the moving star field
5 I like it when you hover your mouse over a system the pop up box comes up with a brief description
6 Love the toggle for the astrometrics view to normal space
 
Now that IS how sector space should have been from the beginning. That now could slowly pave the way for some form of control from the bridge during sector travel.
