Star Trek Online

Yep. Even if it sucked, I'd still play it, because the ship is all I've wanted since Star Trek Online was released. Now I have it and it's a solid ship.

Meh, it's ok as a tank. I've been flying a fleet Defiant of late. Still like my escorts.

Eh, I've flown a number of escorts and I always go back to cruisers.

i tend to use cruisers as escorts with mixed results

but i do love my ambassador the uss stella shield, not tried the t5 version yet so not sure on the differances

Section 31 is in this game too.

It's sad that it's taken three years from release to get there, but finally, this has become a decent game. For over a year there has been nothing to do outside of daily repeatable grinds for gear. Sure, it's great gear but there's nothing to really use it on. It just makes the daily grinds a little easier.

There's actually a lot to do now.

Elwood and chaos descending do you play, LOTRO. The game has a organic looking feel and it is free to play too. you can earn turbine points in game getting additional content for the lotro store. Bought some expansion packs and quest packs for it. It also has dx11 graphis plus hd textures.

I have played LoTRO, and I liked it for what it was, but I don't play MMOs anymore.

I was playing GW2 for a little bit, but even that got boring.

Actually, I hardly play video games at all anymore.

I love the fact that you can earn turbine points in game and the friendly player base.

Logging in for the first time in months. The Klinks now have their own 1-50 storyline and a third faction, the Romulans/Remans, are launching today.

I've left the game now. Got bored.

I just unlocked Shipyard Tier III in the fleet base on Sunday. The countdown timer is a full SEVEN FUCKING DAYS, at which time I will be gone on vacation. It will be another10 days or so before I finally get to buy a fleet Defiant.

But, while I was grinding that out, I had plenty of time to get my Omega and Romulan reputation up to Tier V, and accumulate enough diplomatic points to make full ambassador and unlock all of those transwarp locations.

And now for something completely different: A fungus wearing a hat shaped like a Starfleet Admiral.


Flying with the eagles in Wherever Bay. I guess they look more like parrots on Risa.

Still haven't bothered with any of that Risa crap. Too busy grinding for marks and dilithium.

It's fun fluff, mainly. I think the only play-relevant things are consumables that give small buffs and a ship that looks like it belongs on a lake somewhere. Oh, and I guess you can convert the local currency into latinum, just in case latinum ever becomes relevant.


Speaking of fluff, I now has a baby birdie!

What graphics settings you running? DO you play lotro at all nahtmmm? They got rid of microsoft framework1.1 for the lotro installer.

I'm on a laptop, so I run considerably less than the full graphics capability, as I'm sure you totally didn't notice. I can see textures on stuff and the anti-aliasing isn't distracting, which is about good enough for me.

No interest in playing LotRO, sorry.

It's a nice night for some getting down.

That salt vampire mission is the laggiest lag of a lag mission I've ever lagged.


Trying a crazy racing car color scheme for my 15%-off runabout.



Finally figured out what was going on with my Connie and Sovereign. It's not a bug, the fancy MACO/whatever stuff I have on them is what's wrecking their looks. That REALLY should be optional. I mean, it only soured me on the game for, like, half a year.

Wow, it's really changed since I last played.

You can turn off the visual effects by right clicking on the MACO stuff in your ship inventory and disabling the visuals.

Salt Vampire Mission? I don't recall that one.

But, yes, the game has changed a lot since many of you have played. The Romulan stuff is not only fun, but it's actually pretty well written. I was impressed with the quality of the Romulan faction.

I've found the largest component of this game is being involved with other people. The MMO part of the MMORPG. Back when I played mainly solo, only occasionally with other players, the game got old really quick. But, now I'm a part of a very active, and large, fleet with many scheduled events throughout the week and daily impromptu events. It's really turned the game around for me.

Shockingly, I'm just the opposite. Quite happy playing solo, or with one or two friends on the rare occasion any of them are online.

And I don't recall any salt vampire mission, either.

That's what I assumed they were going for with the M-113ish species that intermittently turns you into one of them. The up-close-and-personal views I got because of lag slowing me down seemed to involve sucky-style mouths.

(And I don't mean to sound spoiled, because apparently I am spoiled, but the wiki is about the second-most frustrating game wiki I've ever tried to use. Quite aside from the lack of links and organization, the Rommie stuff has been out for how long, and there are still red links for a bunch of their "episodes"?)

Yeah, I haven't dipped into it much, but they seem to be giving it some depth. KJ's been playing a Rommie and enjoying it.

I wouldn't go that far, but usually I prefer the solo facets of a game unless it's really all about the interaction. But this, the interaction is at least 40% of my enjoyment. I can't think of another such game where it's been that much.

Are you referring to the Elachi?


Also, I'm only a few days away from claiming the Risian Corvette (Escort) that I'll never use.

It's changed so much. I haven't played in about five months after two and half yeas' dedicated. Worth going back to?

Yes. If for nothing else, do it for the Romulan campaign.

There are also some new fleet action things.

No, Mine Trap.

Ooh, I even got the M-number right. Go me!

I'm enjoying the heck out of this game now.

Had a run around most of the outside of New Romulus. Seems pretty well designed.
