Star Trek Online

Mine seems to take ages to load up the character selection screen, then every time I try and join the server, I get the Map is full error :(. Looks like no gaming for me tonight heh.

Brilliant game so far. Buggy yes but immense fun! Loving the extra perks of steam version i.e trill race.

That's a Steam perk? I have that race and ordered from amazon.

I spoke too soon early, 2 minutes after mentioning no more disconnects i had one on a loading screen and still trying to get back in :p

At character creation, a player can select Trill as a race. This unlocks special exclusive traits that enhance the character’s abilities.
Note that the special abilities are the only exclusive aspect; players are still able to create Trills in the game. However, they will lack the Trill abilities.

managed to get a beta key from massivly. Currently downloading the beta at about 65% slowed waaaay down now though. its recieved 4gig and patched about 6 gig outta 10. Hopefully it will be finished some point tonight.

You mean you have two accounts or two characters? If the latter we need your accound name i.e. your @handle :)

As for the server full messages, the devs say they are working on it.
 
One of the main dislikes so far is the scale of everything, the intro ship corridoors and things, its like a freaking gigantic hallway. Its missing that "i'm on a ship so the corridoors are narrow which will make for awesome firefights" feeling you get in the shows. The ships in reality are relatively small and hallways are narrow because of limited space. Things like the transporter pad, it feels like you're a tiny child in a massive giants ship. I don't know, I really think a Voyager: Elite Force type feel to the ground/interior ship stuff would feel so much more authentic.

Also the very first bridge you go to, the room feels weird, the shapes wrong, the scale the stations are tiny things in a massive massive room and it also feels far to "square", large walls, square shapes where pretty much every single set ever in Startrek when it comes to bridges, ten forward, most of the locations they aren't really ever standard square rooms.

at first anyway it was just a race to finish a character before being disconnected, then disconnecting throughout the first part of the first mission. A hour or two later I tried again and got through more combat, space combat, another ground mission and then it failed to load back into the ship again. None of thats much of an issue, most likely massive server overloading going on. But the actual gameplay/feel seems completely wrong.

I'm also failing to see where people say it looks fantastic, it looks, average, a touch to cartoony feel which is unsurprising considering who makes it.

Its a shame a Rodenberry Jnr didn't just give it to the best dev's in the world, with 50million bucks and created it from the ground up on its own engine thats based more on space/sci-fi feel than, super hero based engine.

Guess I'll have to see how it feels further into the game in less laggy starter/intro missions. Far too many of the things I hated about CO are present though from first impressions which doesn't bode well, at least for me.
