As far as I know the Rare particles are all bind on acquire, and they're completely random drops, unless they changed it recently.

Rare particles can be sold on the exchange (at least up to January when I last looked).

WrathOfAchilles - I will investigate your access rights sometime today.

- Should have access now

Just a reminder all, if you take something, put something equal or better back, or the eqv in cash.

We have had "raiders" before , although me and the other fleet admiral are pretty quick to catch people. Message us in game if any problems/or here.

Yes, while most stuff in there is junk we did have one player who took a load of endgame gear and put nothing back. Wasn't an OcUK member either, so got the boot.

What was the end of season reward?

CaptainRAVE · 19 Mar 2011 at 11:58

Anything much being added to the game?

The foundry is now on Public release.

However STO is struggling again to gain foothold and popularity.

They need to advertise it more.

CaptainRAVE · 11 Apr 2011 at 11:59

Will probably just wait for this one to become F2P now. Too many good games out there to justify an MMO sub atm

CaptainRAVE · 10 May 2011 at 19:30

You still playing this JGBR? Much changed recently? Shortly have the season 3 patch there didn't seem to be much going on with STO - and I found the Romulan story arc kind of boring...maybe I have just played this game too much!

See Atari are selling off Cryptic? So it's probably going to go into housekeeping-only mode until that's all sorted :

Not good for STO or CO - I reckon STO will be F2P in no time.

Star Trek Online £2.37 (Steam Daily Deal) - pretty excellent price considering how much they have added since release.

I had to do a quadruple take on the price just to be sure. Lol. Think I'll purchase and give it a 30 day trial run. I probably won't play it after that but at this price, you'd be silly not to lol

You really can't go wrong, even for just 30 days. Plus you can generally find 60 days for £10 if you decide you want more playtime after this.

Forget anything any of you read after release, a huge amount of content has been added since - more than enough for at least a months play.

So its worth getting it on steam? mite pick this up for my evenings gaming

Is £2.37 really a lot of money for anyone?

The fact is a lot has been added to the game now, easily enough to last you for a month...more so if you are only going to play in the evenings.

If you DO decide to sub after that, generally £10 can get you 60 days, so all in all a small investment now.

Even if you find you HATE the game, £2.37 isn't really all that much lost. Not considering how many people bought it for £30 on release, realised it was en empty game at the time and hated it

(has come a long way since then though).

Haven't played since around Christmas time. Think my sub ran out in March. Just ran out of things to do apart from the daily grind - didn't seem to be any new content coming out and I didn't like the Romulan season, so kind of gave up. Got my monies worth out of it though

CaptainRAVE · 28 May 2011 at 17:04

Have you added the additional Steam bonus codes into your STO account?

Just bought this, liked the beta even though ground combat was utter crap, will proberly downloaded it over night due to traffic management.
Where do ppl get the 60 day subs for £10 cant find them, only for £14 + and most of them are out of stock

G2Play often restock them.

CaptainRAVE · 28 May 2011 at 21:59

I only did a respec once, so have no idea sorry! May be able to help if you post a screenshot.

Looks like STO will be F2P in no time then. Probably the only way I would ever go back.

Perfect World is huge in Asia though, so excellent for Cryptic.

CaptainRAVE · 1 Jun 2011 at 15:23

No, it really doesn't make a difference -

Tactical - offensive abilities (best combined with escort ship)
Engineer - defensive (cruiser)
Science - buffs (science ship)

Any combination works though.

I usually make a custom alien captain and choose my own traits.

CaptainRAVE · 12 Jun 2011 at 17:38

Haven't played in ages. Apologies for those who have requested invites from me, I have been away. Other members can invite though.

Keeping a close eye on season 4.
