I'm not selecting any clothing though. I'm just trying to create a bog-standard Starfleet human, I'm clicking through without changing any parameters at all and still it gives 'Character Creation Failed'. I gave up on trying to create a decent looking 'Alien' character as after 30 mins of tweaking it throws up the same error and I have to start again, from scratch.

So I went back to using a cruiser as a bit of a test. I got blown up a couple of times, however I found that if I stop trying to play it like an escort, I can actually do quite well. I'm kind of fond of the Aceton Beam ability, which does definitely help to reduce the incoming damage. If I can just get over the fact that they steer horribly, I may get a cruiser at the next rank, too. :D

Once you get an RCS console with 30% (or more) you should be fine.

i love cruisers they are awesome.

I had this and it was due to the name I was trying to pick was taken, have you tried a new name?

RCS console? :confused:

I've got to say, the more I'm playing this cruiser, the better it gets. I'm just not keen on giving up my Defiant so easily. I should probably create a Tactical character to deal with this issue, but I was hoping that a Science one would be the one I play for a while. :p

Yea, they increase your turn rates.
 
To quote Alan Partridge, "Aha"!

It's finally allowed me to create a character now, only took three days or so. Still, she's only a basic Human Starfleet Tactical Officer as I was getting sick & tired of creating my own and then having it fail. At least I've finally got to play the game though.

Upper Admiral now (lvl 45).... soon have my cloaking defiant.... :D

I just reached upper admiral last night. I am now using the Sovereign class ship
(the enterprise E from first contact) instead of the defiant.
It feels like a much better ship ok its slower but it can take a decent amount of hits only problem is it cant use some of the weapons which I had on the defiant but no big deal.
I have a romulin shield so it gives of this cool luminous green.
Just started the Cardassion episodes as well
 
So, I'm only Lv5, but looking at what ships to aim for. I'm thinking the escort ones because my current favoured way of fighting is to get behind them and just stay there while blasting the other ship to bits. How valid a tactic is this?
 
Perfectly valid tactic for escort pilots in both PvE and PvP, slightly harder to pull off in PvE as most NPC ships don't really move very fast so you need your speed set as low as poss which makes turning a bit slower.
In PvP you'll just depress all the cruiser pilots since theres very little a crusier can do to get an escort off its tail without being specificaly setup for it.

I've been using it in PvE at the moment in my starting ship and its pretty great once I get in position, and I notice I get through ships far faster since then I only have one shield to get through.

And sounds good that it will work in PvP as well if needed! Just need to get an escort ship though... whatever level that needs.
 
Does anyone have a clue how to move the action bars around? I've just made Lt. Commander and purchased a decent little Escort, but due to the extra weapons load-out and extra crew-mate the action bars are no placed in a away that causes them to overlap each other. I've tried left-click and right-click (holding them down before trying to drag too) and I can't seem to drag the action bar at all.

Also, is it it possible to set a ship up with multiple load-outs and switch between them?

First new ship choice comes at lvl10, you can pick an Escort then.
