Star Trek Online will be live this february. From some friends that are doing beta testing, they said its going to be really good. It will have the same combat keys like SWG and WOW, but the graphics are mind blowing. I plan to give it a try if anyone else would like to jump in it with me and try it..
well im in the open beta and i must say "WOW"....the game is totally different from what i expected...you do alot of space combat, but you also do ground...you can have an away team with you which can be either fellow players or npcs...you have to buy the npcs equipment though so they can go down with you....also you have to have them trained, different things they are trained in will aid you in space or on ground... also you have to buy the officers and promote them as you get promoted...makes a big difference.... once you reach LT 6, you can then create a another character that is klingon, not sure if it will be available though when release comes out....still cool...i have customized my own ship so my ship looks different from others...plus its amazing how the upgrades to a ship makes a difference in combat...its 2 characters per server so thats a plus.... its a long grind to level up, plus to make cash in the game...but hell im sure some farmers will come along and find a way....right now the game is limited to only seeing 10% till release, but hell i got so many missions i have to do, i cant believe i havent even reached the 10% mark....Every character can be detailed differently so noone will look alike...also random klingon attacks occur if your afk, so you cant go afk macroing in space....not only that, but certain items are so rare, it requires certain badges to obtain...right now thats disabled so i cant get any....creating a fleet ( or guild) for that matter requires on 5 people....it also has a fleet bank as well....anyone from the guild can donate and such forth...each ship is named whatever you want it named...the tutorial is great, teaches you alot before you actually get into the game...space is huge, can always find action....uniforms can be detailed on how you want to look, as well as ship like i said....and your away team npcs can be detailed on how you want them to look as well...there is alot of potential in this game i suggest you all give it a chance to see if this is the game for you....SOE has no rights on it, so makes it even better...the graphics are great, the controls are user friendly...i would like to see some whitefalcons out there with me on learning this game as well....there is no crafting in the game, so im not sure if that will change or not...but hell the looted items are not bad items...will keep you up to date as i learn more....
heya zallon, how can i forget a friendly face, my characters name is saco vandraken and fliken vandraken...send me a ingame mail with yours please...i would like to join up with you all if possible..
