bump
Benjamin Evans
Not a big deal, honestly. The way the game is set up now with the C-Store is basically you have to pay out the nose for the good shit, or have to grind Dilithium for months just to afford one thing.
Joseph Gray
last bump
Aaron Gonzalez
Enjoy the carcass of once decent game i guess?
Fuck perfect world
Dominic Perry
will they reduce the amount of pay2win involved?
Hunter Kelly
If the C-Store is coming along with the rest of the game it'll be cancer Day 1.
Elijah Harris
>Akira-class
>a mere escort
This always bothered me. The Akira in the movie/show canon is a dedicated warship/aircraft carrier, and it's one of the largest Federation ship classes. In the games it's always a small relatively weak ship.
Also pisses me off that my favorite Federation ship class, the Nebula, is only available from the store.
Tyler Lewis
As a current player, I'm more hyped about the lighting and UI improvements that are coming with it than it actually being on consoles.
Especially considering the fact that they'll be on a seperate server so it means no improvement on queue times.
Still hyped as fuck for Agents of Yesterday though.

How the hell is this thing even still alive, holy shit

There's an endgame carrier version now

Would be nice of the Nebula wasn't C-store only though, I agree.

somehow it's actually been making money
TOS expansion in a few months
Ethan Scott
Star Trek fans
Asher Gray
I'm loving the look of the TOS era ships. They've really nailed that feel that the old TOS RPGs and databooks used to have with their original designs.
Hope the free versions look as good.
Gabriel Barnes
Good space combat.
Lots of dress up options for both characters and ships so people can play Space Barbie.
Star Trek actors reprising their roles pulling in more fans all the time.

And reusing aliens/plot-of-the-week to expand on the universe would probably be attractive to fans too.
Hunter Butler
Gorgeous 23rd century rendition of the NX refit
Matthew Garcia
STO was never decent.
Hunter Sullivan
Taking bets on when they backport the casualized console controls to the PC version.
Nathaniel Ortiz
How is this going to work with pleb console controllers?
Elijah Morris
>A combination of radial menus and streamlining of some HUD elements created a game that is easily understood, instantly accessible, and incredibly fun to play.

Xavier Roberts
I completely forgot this existed. I also get bored after playing for a few hours since I can never figure out how to do their equivalent of dungeons.
Justin Green
Can I have a cat waifu?
James Nguyen
Caitians are a playable species, yes!

Lucas Brown
Cool, can we fucking get Champions Online content patches now?
What about bringing that to Consoles like it was supposed to back in the day.
Bentley Green
Seatbelts, everyone!
Nicholas Bell
the only event ship I ever missed
John Brooks
just kill it and make a proper successor to CoH
Tyler Brown
Don't you have to play real money for the privilege, though?
Brody James
i guess they have to force themselves to like the game since there really isnt anything outside of the star trek movies and tv shows.
they just gotta klingon to what they got
Sebastian Sullivan
why do people still have consoles
Asher Lopez
$6, or if you grind ingame, about 26 days' grinding at current zen prices.
Asher Torres
About 3 years too late.
Blake Hernandez
600 Zen isn't too much to grind out once you get going.
If you just want a waifu though you can get cat officers without paying money/Zen.
Connor Nelson
What gun is this
Jaxson Lewis
Because games actually sell on consoles.
Blake Hall
I only play this game a few months a year in the summer to collect eggs on Rysa. I have many alts with inventories full of eggs.
Brayden Nelson
>current zen prices
Price has gone up like 10 dilithium per zen in the last day or two alone. Fucking expansions man.
Adrian Carter
Can I just be a human Captain with just female cats for my crew?
Xavier Fisher
I stopped playing this a little while after the Romulans came out. I think I got to rank 50 with my Federation guy and then got bored for some reason, I can't remember why.
Is it worth picking up again?
Juan Ross
This guy gets it.
Sebastian Murphy
Easily. You don't even need to pay money to get them, although you do need to wait until level 50 (level cap is 60).
There's been enough content released since then that you might as well, but you'll probably find it to be more of a grind than before.
Nathan Watson
>no wii u version
why doesn't nintendo get anything? fuck!
Zachary Gray
Tell me captain, can you play as a Cardassian?
Jonathan Thomas
no
Ryan Morales
The real question here is will I be able to transfer my existing account? I don't want to start from scratch.
Matthew Price
Not officially, but I made one with the character creator and it turned out perfect. I don't have any screens of him on my phone otherwise I'd post one.
Angel Ward
Can I have an Intrepid class ship?
Daniel Rivera
Star Trek is the dustiest fucking shit
Hunter Russell
I need help
Carson Price
Yes, but they suck to be honest.
Nolan Powell
Fuuuuck
Ian Scott
Yes, there's also two new refits
>plebs
3538 hours and counting
Blake King
Exactly what I did.
Evan Hughes
So for those who've played the game, can you have fun going completely F2P?
Or do you need to spend some dosh for the full experience?
Matthew Reyes
Yes, but unfortunately you'll get it fairly early in the leveling process and then outgrow it (I think you get the choice after level 10 or maybe 20).
Cameron Bennett
>3538 hours and counting
How? There isn't remotely enough content to warrant that kind of play time. Once you're up to date with the seasons and you've maxed out your character there isn't a whole lot to do except the p2p missions which get incredible tedious after a while.
Even at 504 I've done all that and maxed out my reputations.
Andrew Lopez
You could play the entire game without needing to spend any more, of course spending the money on a nice shinny new ship is awesome but your experience is not hindered at all if you don't spend anything.
Source = I went 350 hours before I paid for my first ship.
Xavier Ortiz
No, there's a Tier 6 version as as well.
Andrew Murphy
Maxxed out reputations on 5 toons so far, and working to max admiralty and doff schools on them all too. I'm one of those guys that needs one of each profession for each faction, so I've got a fed engineer, klingon engineer, romulan-fed engineer and romulan-kdf engineer maxxed so far. The other is my fed science.
Jayden Bailey
Maybe my experience is different because I've had the game since the day it launched and have played off and on for years, but after it went f2p I haven't spent a dime. The game very literally throws pay to open loot boxes with special ships and shit in them at you constantly though. I've never opened any but I have hundreds from the different events sitting around in case I ever decide to spend a few bucks on them.
Michael Campbell
You can buy cash shop currency using in-game currency, so as long as you don't mind the grind for the in-game currency, you can go 100% F2P and still get cash shop ships.
The exchange rate is a little fucked at the moment though, since said in-game currency became stupidly easy to obtain and everyone is buying up cash shop dosh for the upcoming expansion.
Even without doing that, the game is still fun and you can clear everything if you're willing to put in the time to gear up properly.
Nolan Evans
In order to do well completely F2P, you need to either grind the ever-living fuck out of the game so you can convert in-game currency to pay currency and buy what you want (current rate is 340 dilithium per zen, 8k/day per character dilithium limit which means a month to get one single endgame ship if you're grinding all four of your free character slots every day) or log on during one of the major events because they hand out free ships during those.
Carson Butler
You can still buy the t6 refit/retrofit/whateverfit and use the Intrepid skin though.

My crew are lesbians, I won't have it any other way.
Wyatt Wright
I personally never get sick of the ship combat, but yes there is a lot of repetition and grind in the structure of the game. At least ground combat is decent nowadays. It used to be awful back when it first came out and took years for them to change and fix it. In my opinion, it's the best MMO out there right now and a lot of the main quests are really fun and unique fitting the style and spirit of the show.
Adrian Butler
20% off certain cash shop boosts.

Dylan Russell
That's kinda cool actually.
I'd probably try it on PS4.
Jaxson Ortiz
Will it run like shit for no reason on console, too?
Angel Moore
>tfw you visit mirror Bajor for a good time and get raped by a changeling
Jaxson Price
>tfw no Mirror Universe Kira gf
Hunter Wright
Can you genocide Bajorans in this game?
Eli Taylor
Sadly no. You can only genocide the cool people like Jem'Hadar, you can't genocide any of the races that actually deserve to be like Bajorans, Talaxians and space zombies.
Noah Ross
Why would you want to? They're pretty based people, remind me of the Jewish people.
Christian Perry
Found Major Kira
Adrian Collins
No, but you can kill Admiral Leeta of the ISS Enterprise over and over again.
Jaxson Rodriguez
Is this good?

Mason Martin

Grayson Clark
It's pretty good, one of the rare f2p games that doesn't basically force you to pay money in order to actually enjoy the game. I'm just worried that the game will play like garbage with a controller.
Xavier Lewis

Brody Allen
>3500 hours
That's how much Trek I've watched since I started back in 2009.
Jose Price
Now that they're doing a TOS expansion, they should take some of Taldren's starship designs and bring them over to STO. Imagine cruising around in the behemoth Federation battleship or dedicated fighter carrier.
Jayden Ross

Caleb White
I'm not a Star Trek fan but I've always heard this game was great. What are some features? I was gonna play it on steam but nvm.
Austin Cruz
How does this game compare to eve online?
Lincoln Sanders
Why do people still have pcs?
Levi Cruz
They're not really similar at all. STO is more of a "theme park" MMO where you can instantly warp to where you need to be, and play in different instances.
Parker Williams
it doesn't
Logan Gonzalez
For anyone playing, how is Miranda/Soyuz class ships? They are my favorite.
Jeremiah Collins
>where you can instantly warp to where you need to be,
Ha, I wish.
Isaiah Morgan
Miranda-class is the starter ship for Federation characters. There are no higher tier versions yet, I'm afraid.
sto.gamepedia.com
Sebastian Garcia
Well... shit. Guess I'll pass then. They should add some kind of cloak thing that lets you cosmetically alter your ship to look like another class.
