Star Trek Online

Romulans are probably the dullest races in the st universe. Sometimes they were cool but generally their boring especially in sto.

Tho the FE have all more or less been fun so these new ones might be ok but generally since theirs not many main romulan characters from the shows to go on to take some characteristics from for romulans in sto, this makes romulan storys dull as their too generic.

Imo.

Still like the romy warbird tho, still a class ship tho a bit underpowered in sto.

Was the iconians something to do with romulans and their was going to be a plot line with that?

Not a great intro to the world of MMOs for me...
I only started this last weekend and I'm a bit disappointed to not even be able to get online tonight.

It crashed! That hasn't happened in ages. Haven't had a chance to do the mission yet.

JGBR · 5 Feb 2011 at 21:46

Ironically its not crashed with servers down in about a good 10months.

Ironically also its exactly a year since all the launch problems haha.

I'm sure its just a glitch of so many people doing one mission.

Glad I did it.

Its going to be a great series.

CaptainRAVE · 6 Feb 2011 at 11:33

I can only blame myself - I couldn't resist throwing a few Cryo grenades at people

Still haven't completed this mission, waiting for the gf to get off the Sims!

Its a great mission and hint at how good STO can become.

I do believe STO will get to being one of the biggest and best MMO's given half the chance, its lucky due to having a very commited fan base.

If you see me on say hello

I tried PvP precisely once, and that was the end of that

JGBR · 6 Feb 2011 at 12:57

Cryptic need to rebalance it i think

CaptainRAVE · 6 Feb 2011 at 12:59

Many people say that the Klingons are overpowered - don't believe this, they really aren't. The problem is the fact that most of their game IS PvP, whilst feds get to max level with really easy missions. They then get to PvP and think they can shoot at random, with their eyes closed and win. I gave up on PvP a long time ago, the feds just don't get it.

Edit: Oh JGBR

JGBR · 6 Feb 2011 at 13:07

Feds need to stick together and work as a real team in pvp i think.

That is exactly what the Klingons do. They concentrate on one target at a time. The feds just go off and do their own thing (and then get killed and post on the forums that the Klingons are OP) :rolleyes:

The problem is, everytime someone complains, Cryptic jump all over it and make the change. Someone complains again and they change it back. This is why Star Trek Online is progressing so slowly, most of the time we are just going in circles. For example, they are working on the cryo grenade griefing at the moment - it is frustrating, I just want the foundry on holodeck!

JGBR · 6 Feb 2011 at 13:13

u were being liberal with them yesterday LOL

CaptainRAVE · 6 Feb 2011 at 13:16

Oh that was hliarous yesterday. Everytime someone complained about getting cryo grenaded, everyone would turn around and do exactly that. Even my PC was slowing down

- it was even better when the guy was PMing me and I was just replying "wasn't me". It passed the time while waiting for the new mission anyway. Probably helped the server crash too. Apparently the login queues were back yesterday - haven't seen that much interest since release. Of course, they have probably assigned a lot of the server to Champions Online now that it is F2P.

JGBR · 6 Feb 2011 at 13:28

its all runing fine

im researching fleets today

CaptainRAVE · 6 Feb 2011 at 13:39

Thinking of finding a more active fleet?

JGBR · 6 Feb 2011 at 13:40

Well i just seem to play alone all the time and i guess id be intrested in role playing etc abit more and stuff

Have been talking to a few mates on their and everyones saying

theirs no "good" british fleet

CaptainRAVE · 6 Feb 2011 at 13:43

The problem with both Champions and Star Trek Online, is that the population is too low to give a good selection of groups/fleets. I have thought about it before, but most fleets are inactive. You could try a big one like Omega or 12th fleet. Any other is or soon will be empty. The problem is made worse by the fact that most of the game is solo play.
