Is that a combo starship bridge / cargo bay or something? It’s huge! The captain should be equipped with binoculars so he/she/it can see that tiny little screen in front.
I want to say that bridge is comparable to Galactica, but there’s too much empty space. That’s not a starship bridge. That’s a bridge of a space station.
Is it me, or did the outer space graphics look sub par? Maybe I’m spoiled by EVE?
Totally. It looks more and more like it’ll just be WoW in space, except we’ll all be casting phaser spells at each other.
Very much so. What I’m trying to figure out is why at the first sign of Klingon ships. That Fed ship didn’t high tail it out of there.
Two words: Quantum-freakin-Torpedoes, OK? Kronos, Romulus, Orion, they can have all the space democracy they want. They can have a democracy cakewalk right through the middle of the Organian Senate and it won’t make a lick of difference, because we’ve got the torps, OK?
Captain Kirk’s not dead, he’s frozen! And when we find a cure for ‘falling off a mountain’, we’re gonna thaw out the Cap and he’s gonna be pretty pissed off. You know why? You ever take a cold sonic shower? Well, multiply that by 15 million times, that’s how pissed off James T. Kirk’s gonna be.
OH that explains it.
Star Trek Online’s Open Beta started today! Yay! I saw a @Ryeko pop up for a short time there Fass! Looked like you were still in the tutorial when I saw you. I was out doing my first mission at the time. Staying connected has been a pain so far, but that was to be expected. I imagine the character creation area and tutorial areas are being hit the hardest right now. It shares (user created) chat channels with Champions Online also, but the channel was very laggy in the tutorial area.
It’s a little rocky of a start, but it’s a good one I guess.
Here’s my first ship, a science vessel called the USS Beagle…
That Beagle is sharp! Reminds me of the Miranda-class (Reliant)
I’ve been able to download the open beta, load it and log in to create a character. And then they had to take it down to fix a patch. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to get in for a bit to see how the game runs.
Fingers crossed, mreno, and welcome aboard.
Thank you! I’m a newbie here. Started listening to the podcast in November and finally took the plunge to join the forums. I’m a newbie at those to.
If anyone is interested my Beta character is named Ada and my ship is the USS Glorious Dawn (nod to Carl Sagan there). I have no clue when I’ll be on tonight but when the game is up and running it would be great if the GWCers who are playing can group somehow. I’d like to meet more of the GWC community.
I’m guessing there’s going to be a few GWCers thereabouts…
abso-frakkin-lutely!
Oh, I just created a GWC chat channel in STO if anyone else is interested.
Well i’m dl the beta as we speak. If this is anything like other MMO’s we should be able to get some sort of group affiliation. Chuck I guess will run that unless Sean or Audra are bigger gamers.
I know I’ll be there. Think we can get Talos and Pike to join in also? This could be very interesting.
Hmm… do NOT give tribbles to your Away Team!!!
Sweet zombie Jesus I’m going to roleplay the hell out of this game like there’s no tomorrow.

sweeeet
As a general rule I am against rpg’s and mmo’s… But I am addicted to this game! Wrote a bio for my character and am online at work for 4 hours a day ( your tax dollars at work!).
