Not many of the folks in the STOTwitter channel seem to have joined a fleet the chat channel seems to do all the things a fleet likely would. I imagine it’s possible to build a ship that won’t fold up like the box it came in in Fed v Klingon space PvP, with the right modules earned through PvE.įleets (guilds) haven’t made a huge impression as of yet. Exploration missions earn you badges of exploration that you can spend on even better modules, allowing you to customize the abilities of your ship to an amazing degree. They differ chiefly in their rewards - patrol missions give a large chunk of experience and usually a weapon or module that is better than most in its class. Mixed in with the storyline missions are a host of very formulaic patrol and exploration missions. And the Dominion isn’t done with us, either. We meet all the exciting and powerful folks that Voyager stirred up on their way back to the Alpha Quadrant. We find out how the Romulans are planning to retake their empire. ![]() We do find out what caused the supernova that destroyed Romulus. The storyline missions are wonderfully written and greatly add to the Star Trek lore. I’ve been assured that it’s a LOT of fun, and I expect I’ll enjoy it. Just one last tier to go, and then I get to replay the game on the Klingon side. I really like the game, but it’s not been out a month and I’m this far in. I’m far enough through the game to take a look back. I am 60% through Star Trek Online without really trying all that hard. I wonder what the warranty is like on these… Oh yeah, I’ve been telling the crew I’m going to get a new wall-sized plasma TV for the rec area. Ramming speed just adds a little je ne sais quois - a little spice, perhaps - to the mix. The result: an express locomotive right down the throat of an enemy battleship. cruiser fits three) boosts the speed back up to normal and manage the power flow to the various subsystems, while tactical consoles improve key weapon performance. I boosted my weapon power up nearly to the max, with shields about normal, and speed and auxiliary systems slightly below normal. Without the proper settings and gear, a long range cruiser would just sit motionless in space, firing ineffectually at the enemies who would have no trouble doing whatever they liked with the ship. ![]() Earlier tiers could get away with ignoring power settings and using whatever consoles happened to come their way. In fact, ‘out of the box’, the long range cruiser is nearly helpless. As in EVE, you don’t really get an idea for the size of your ship without something to show its scale. That’s really where my Science abilities shine.Įventually, I got to the point where I just wanted to level, dammit, and see my new ship - the USS Manchester, seen above dwarfing the lesser ships near it. After I tired of hoping my ship’s explosion would miraculously take out the Klingon fleet, I focused on ground PvP, where the matches went about 50/50, Klingon vs Federation. Space PvP was frustrating Klingons would swarm and take out every Federation ship in seconds, so that was more or less pointless. I still do keep up with my science skills, which are a significant help in away missions and are game-changers in ground-based PvP, where I don’t have my bridge officers to do all the fun things.īefore I leveled into a new PvP tier, I spent a few hours having burny fun with the Klingon Empire. I find having the ability to tank and fire a substantial volley at enemies in space makes fights a lot shorter, and the game a lot more fun. All they had were the DS9 uniforms, but that’s fine. While I was at Deep Space 9 picking up necessary ship supplies, I picked up new uniforms for the crew. They really seem to enjoy it.Īs befits a captain, I traded in my Science officer blues for the red of Command. We leave those sorts of things to our holographic life forms. I made Captain in Star Trek Online tonight that’s level 31 if you’re all crass and number-using. ![]()
