Star Trek Online

Still under wraps but if you head into the STO forums theirs some engineering reports on what's coming.

Im not sure its going to be that great but its kind of a house keeping/changing things for the better update then an more content update.
 
Subs ran out yesterday so trying to pickup a 60 day card but everywhere seems to be out of stock. I was going to hit Captain this weekend so I might have to bite the bullet. Seems expense when going direct compared to other MMO.

Where did those 30 days go. Great game.
 
Just a heads up, I expect Season 4 to be on-line by tonight.


INSIDER INFO: Season 4 and Season 5 will be cryptics last ditch attempt to turn STO around.
 
"To make the Game appeal to more subscribers via retention, to fufil current subscribers need and to be more competitive with current Space based MMO's"
 
Season 4 is a bit of a let down as far as new stuff goes. The ground combat, well i thought it was ok and they reworked it all but its nothing really new cept for the shooter mode which i duno if im gona use yet. So thats not a major new thing imo.

The pve/pvp que thing is nice i guess but im a loner so not really a major feature to me.

The borg are a nice thing to do which should have been from the start imo so i would call it a fix not a new feature or anything like the ground combat.

The only new thing i can see is the Doff system which im lookin forward to but if thats all that season 4 has to offer as something genuinely new and a new game play element then i think season 4 is a bit of a let down.

I had hoped to have the Doff system in at the launch of season 4 and a FE during launch but these are after the launch. Which makes season 4 even worse of a update imo.

I hope season 5 introduces new gameplay and replay elements instead of reworking/editing existing stuff. I hope to see in that season a few mini games i.e races. Some events that are a monthly or perhaps fortnightly thing which makes you keep playing them kinda things. New mini races i.e a new system on the system map which includes, a entry point for foundry missions, a ship for that race and a couple of cryptic missions. This game really needs to start adding minor races into the system to fill it up so its not just feds borg klingons roms and cardys.

Oh and what makes this insider info? "INSIDER INFO: Season 4 and Season 5 will be cryptics last ditch attempt to turn STO around. ". Kinda makes it sound like its from a dev or somit. Afaik its just someones comment and isnt really an "insiders" view of sto from the higher ups of the dev team or somit.

Very true. They keep saying they are adding to the team but really startrek deserves a very large team of 50+ imo not a crappy 15 - 20 man team which i think only gozer works on missions which by the amount we need really 1 man cant do it all and he is doing remastered ones and fixing STF's so nothing really new mission wise for ages from sto.
 
Just tried playing sto with season 4s ground combat update.

Launched the mission for p'jem the remastered one as it had ground combat.

Ok well the firing system is pure fail as im clicking like mad and half the time its not firing even tho the cool down is done.

Aiming is a bit impossible cos their too fast running all over the place and for some reason its hard to distinguish friend from foe when their all running about friend and foe.

When it works its ok but close range and there all over the place running attack blah blah its a bit of a nightmare especially when firing doesnt work.

The keybind seems to just remove itself. Sometimes b is the key somtimes nothing is the key and when i bound left+right mouse together to toggle it worked once then didnt, even b didnt work then i noticed checking key configs that nothing was bound. So entering and exiting the mode is buggy due to the key working or changing without u changing it urself.

Combats faster thats for sure tho im rear admiral upperhalf 6 doing a very early mission lol. So they did die rather easy.

Imo, its a buggy system and doesnt work properly. They need to slow the enemy down instead of having enemy run extremily fast. This might help aiming with shooter mode run better. The firing needs looking at.

The text is really blury with the new font. Lots of ppl dont like it during testing but they didnt remove it. What was wrong with the font/txt before i duno. My thinking is theirs so little in the update they try to update things that dont need updating like a font lol. Just so they can say their updating stuff.

I do like all the new texture detail, with a dx10 card the dx11 improvments seem to work. Zoom in real close on ur ship especially and u can see details that wernt there before.

Cant be 100% sure but i think the tribbles look better as my triolic one looked cool.

I hate the rearranged powers in space, im totally lost now when using it, i duno why tho half the reason is i probably forgot how to play a little bit as not played in ages but the power tray for crew is 2 levels now which i dont like as it messes up where i knew where they were and knew which order to click before battle, now i gotta click the top row for my tactical ones instead of on the left. :( Might get used to it but pff pees me off they change stuff that didnt need changing at all.

Loading screens are animated but kinda suck imo, their laggy they have the tricorder sound on em (unless that was a one off) i wasnt paying attention most of the time.

Also when replaying that remastered pjem mission, the shuttle flying in vulcan was really badly pathed. It was wonky as hell.

a lot of fail imo this season has been and some other aspects i.e remastered mission p'jem.
 
Told you so! its never simple with sto lol

ive struggled to find anything new to do etc,

muppet have left further enchancments to august and called it season 4, doing it all at once might have sold me

bugs all over the place

Shooter mode was buggy cos i had autofire setup still. Turned it off and was more responsive. Still hard to pick out ur targets tho when its all very close combat with klingons at least.

Umboma, nope not yet, probs next year tho.
