Star Trek Online

Just FYI:

From a Dev on the official forums -
As Rekhan has stated, the lifetime option will be available for some time after launch. It will be for $299.99 and will not have those extra perks that are available now.

The current, special offer is for a lifetime subscription, at $239.99, and includes two additional character slots, as well as the ability to play as a liberated Borg captain.

Thanks,

BORG - is that the only way you can play them?
 
I've wasted a lot of points on my BOs as I keep changing abilities, wanted to try a few of them.

I'll be going cruiser or science vessel but for my T1 Cruiser build I will probably go :
Ensign Tactical :
​

  • Torpedo : High yield / Spread
Ensign Engineering :

  • Emergency power to shields
Ensign / Lieutenant Engineering :

  • Engineering Team
  • Reverse Shield Polarity
Ensign Science :

  • Tachyon Beam
Need to have a proper look at my science vessel setup. But feedback pulse, tractor beam, polarise hull and maybe mask energy signature will be the order of the day.

Currently, yes. Who knows what an expansion may hold!

Also, he's not a proper borg. He's a liberated borg; a member of Starfleet, like Seven of Nine.

i.e. your captain can be a Borg. Lots of people seem (understandably) confused. Probably won't use it (custom race all the way), but nice to have the option :)

West! :cool:

And on topic, I actually found mine on a mission, one of those drop containers. Although I cant really use it as it takes my fore beam slot. So I ended up with a quantum and photon torp at the front and a beam at the back, useless!
So had to go back to the default beam/photon at front :(

Engineering team is an ensign ability and buffs your resistance to damage for 15sec, increases hitpoints for 15sec and can repair disabled systems.
Reverse shield polarity converts incoming damage into shield hitpoints, very nice when under multiple attack. Both are engineering BO abilities.

Feedback pulse is a Lieutenant science ability, each time enemy weapons fire hits you a feedback pulse is created directly damaging the enemies hull, negates shields.

Also just curious, as you promote your BOs certain same abilities but a higher rank become available, so if you have an ensign engineer with engineering team I say at level 9 when you promote him and enter a ship with a lt. slot you can make him learn engineering team II which will be at like level 1 or 2 initially. You then have to make your engineer learn a different ensign skill so that you don't have numerous same abilities

Currently at level 16 with a cruiser and Escort and pretty decent gear. Love the escort as it can take a well armoured ship down quite fast, but has got hardly any defence at all. On the other hand the cruiser can sit there all day and not deplete its shields against 4-5 ships. Takes about 5 minutes of circling to kill anything though! Started up a kilngon and just pvp'ed, you level up very fast in pvp only done about 3 hours and got to level 11. Its quite fun too. Starting to understand the game a bit better now, at first I was bewildered, espeically with the BO's. Can't wait till the level cap is highered.
 
So no landing with a bop and explore or cruise planet side in a bop? Hm seems its not much of a mmo is it lol.

What about starfleet academy can you visit that and meet ppl in there doing there training? Presume there is a sfa for training etc. Also bars and places to walk about talk to ppl buy a drink and chill?
