I presume that its worth setting up a second account for a free account and just leaving the gold account perhaps

or

It says you have to convert char, adding a new char now to your account and just converting one to silver and leaving one as gold?

I will probably go for the first option - if I find I am REALLY enjoying it again I will convert my silver characters.

Same here. Also finding the whole experience a lot easier playing through with a tactical captain. Not sure if that's because it's been made easier since I played science, or because he just kicks a lot more ass

JGBR · 8 Sep 2011 at 10:05

Yeah so new accounts for free and another to keep current players !

im paid up monthly as of now....

Tactical captain is definitely the way to go.

I worked out very quickly in open beta that anything else took much longer to level. It is how I levelled my first toon so quickly on release. Of my levelling experience with all 3 types of captain, tactical was by far the most fun for me.

I actually have an Engineer in refit Defiant.. It gives the Defiant a lot more surviveability.

Downlaoded, its askin me for keys o>O and i dont seem to be able to find any kind of 7day trial?

It's pretty sad that you have to go tactical to level up quicker.

i wonder when they will go free to play?

Im still debating over lifetime/sub or second accounts etc etc

IF the lifetime goes cheap like lotro £75 vip type deal i might invest again, but sto never caught me from the beginning tbh

Doubt it will ever be that cheap - when Champions Online went F2P they had lifetime offers, but they were nowhere near as cheap

Didn't think there were 7 day trials? Then again, you can sometimes find the game for just a few quid, so keys aren't too expensive.

Has it went free to play yet?

SkeeterUK · 9 Sep 2011 at 14:32

I hope cryptic doesnt cave to all the ppl saying theirs no incentive for ppl who sub/lifers as the matrix is very nice for f2p players atm.

I doubt they will - they rarely cave to the community over there because Cryptic know how overdramatic they all are.

They will keep it very close to the Champions Online matrix, since it is working so well at the moment.

Tbh though, looking at the STO matrix, I can't see a huge incentive to sub. I guess they will make most of the money from the very overpriced C-store.

JGBR · 9 Sep 2011 at 16:21

So wait untill free to play comes just to see price of lifer

in the mean time, set up a second account or wait?

Not sure, i'll check later.

JGBR · 12 Sep 2011 at 12:19

I will be doing some STO house keeping and in the fleet over the next few days..

Scanned over the F2P model they are going with and it looks quite nice, might reinstall later this year... only thing that I really don't like is the respecs are not free.

Not too big of a deal, respecs aren't really essential anyway and the descriptions of what each skills does are a lot better now.
