Do the missions - hail starfleet to get them (Press J and the option should be on the bottom left).

You should not even leave the starting sector at level 3. You also cant get a new ship until level 11.

I uninstalled it on saturday,unless it changes drastically, I shant be bothering with it again, I dont think its going to have much more to offer outside of what has already been seen.
 
Im gonna give it a go. Im enjoying it enough to carry on. I for one like the fact that im a bit confused with everything. Means i have to devote the time to learn whats going on and gain new abilities etc.

I probably wont play the beta again i dont wanna spoil it too much, so i will see you all in the headstart (or maybe not all :))

Yes, I have heard that. Think I may end up getting an escort.

Have ordered a Logitech G13 - should arrive by Friday.

Also a heads up for tonight - there is an open beta even from 10pm until 2am our time. There are supposed to be "surprises" at some point also :D
 
End of Beta Event

They are getting the klingons to garther at Q`nos (or what ever its called). I think they may be opening PVP up. (not sure just a guess)

Ive got a g13. Theres a nice health display on the lcd screen when in space combat and ground combat :)

Im not sure if the g13 will recognise the game is installed and load a pre configured profile though. (i may be wrong there)

What sort of weapons loadout you running? I was thinking 3 beams 1 quantum / 2 beams 1 mine 1 quantum.

2 beam 2 torp, 2 beam 1 torp.

Played around with mines at commander level, with Eject warp plasma and was ok.. but prefer torps.. now if i could fit mines at front of ship would do so.. but in a big cruiser with only 3 aft slots, I find its essential to have a torp there because npc ships like to keep you facing away from them. Trying out a defiant class now :D

I mainly want it for two reasons - comfort, STO kills my hand and the joystick for ship control (should imagine the macros would be quite useful at higher levels also).

Let us know how the escort compares :)
 
Rave can you explain something to me? There is a skill for "heavy cruiser" and then there is "assault cruiser" do these skills stack like the previous "cruiser" skill? If not what is the point in sticking points in these skills :S

Just had a quick 15 minutes with the Escort, server just came down.. but even though I had my points mainly in Cruiser set up and not many escort boff's it still took ships down way faster. It's more fun to play but way easier to die.. as I did. In my cruiser i'm near invincible unless up against 5+ 3 level above ships. Not sure what i'm gonna play when it goes live though.
 
I was all set for cruiser but the escorts are just so damn fun :) they put out a lot of DPS in a short space of time, like you I can survive in my cruiser for ages against lots of enemies.

With limited/no death penalty may as well just go max DPS build surely?
 
Gonna have a think about it, whatever I choose i'm def going Tactical though. Grenade spam is fun on ground. :D

Just been looking at the forums while server down and on the dev bit they say beam fire at will and beam overload will be "getting some love soon". This could sway it for me as I didn't find either of them of any benefit in their current state.
