Looks like they're still giving away beta keys here : http://www.mmogamer.com/01/14/2010/get-your-star-trek-online-beta-keys-here-500-keys

I just clicked it and a page appeared with this : SBOB19TAND7H98E4GAQAMKJCG (whoever uses that post to say you have so others don't waste time).

Nope, there will just be a patch to download for all of us.

Oh, will any key allow download through steam for hopeful speed?

No you have to buy it on Steam. Very glad I did as it maxed my connection

Everything seems to improved a fair bit, althoug it does seem that when the yanks are on it slows right down

Ouch, had the heating on high as it's snowing here again without realising the kinda temps this game is pushing GPU's to. 2 x monitor going into standby before i realised.

Yes, my old 4870X2 would turn the fan upto 100% to keep itself cool. Cryptics engine sure can generate some heat!

Aye it does, first time i've seen this card go over 90C. That being said i did go overboard with the heating, even my cheeks were starting to burn lol.

Is it just me that thinks the graphics are looking seriously dated?

mart981 · 14 Jan 2010 at 17:36

They're not upto the highest current standards, but I think the thing that makes them seem worse is the animation and gameplay, especially the ground combat which is a bit like Star Wars Galaxies. Complete with enemies going on mad dashes whilst firing weapons and the general clunky feel of movement.

Pyroblaze · 14 Jan 2010 at 17:38

I get the feeling they tried to give ground combat a little bit of a KOTOR feel, minus turn based. I'm surprised they didn't adapt what they knew from CoH and CO to ground combat more than they have, for all the faults both games have their combat fluent.
