Yeah selling random drops are good, you can buy things for the artifacts you scan in space and on missions at Memory Alpha. Also once the economy gets in order a bit you'll be able to sell stuff for good money on the Exchange (kind of like the auction house in WoW).

Give the game a few weeks and I'm sure the stability issues will go away. With regard to City of Villians, that game wasn't so much a new game as it was a big expansion to City of Heroes, so things went a lot smoother there (I was in that Beta as well). I know ti seems like I keep running to defend the devs and the game stability but I KNOW this game will be amazing, we just have to give it some time. It hasn't even officially launched yet.

Saturday afternoon they were down for at least 5 hours. This has been a mess of a launch for them unfortunately. They didn't even tell people they were having issues until 4-5 hours into it. I am not saying this is a bad game by any means, but the launch is nothing to write home about.

Now that you bring it up I remember it being down for that long.  I spent my time watching the people go at it in IRC so I guess I didn't really notice the time go by.  I didn't like how they didn't tell us anything was wrong, like you said, till like 4 hours into it.  They just kept saying the server is restarting.

But whatever they did to fix the problem it seemed to have worked.  I played all night Sunday and didn't get off today till about 6 am EST and didn't run into any more issues.  Granted most people were prob. already in bed by then.  :)

I am willing to give it time also but in the scheme of things this is a rough start. Maybe comparable to Lineage IIor Shadowbane.

I am still not sure how amazing the game is yet from a non-trek front, BUT from a Trek perspective it's cool. It will be interesting to see how the non trek crowd responds to a game with more space battles than away missions.

Ripley: [Laughing in disbelief] You're what? You're still collating? I find that hard to believe.

I am also willing to give it some time.  I want it to succeed.  But, I already feel the game was rushed to get it out while Trek was still kind of "hot."  I also am worried about the emphasis on space combat.  I really don't have a lot of interest in that aspect.  Again, "explore strange new worlds" should have been always in their minds.  I realize the premise is a war with the Klingons, but you can also have planet skirmishes too (which I'm sure they have).  We'll see together how it all works out.

...and exploration will be a big part of the game as it goes on. They have a system they've named "Genesis" which handles the creation of random systems and planets for exploration type systems. One cool mission you beam down to a planet covered in intense dust storms (kind of like on Ceti Alpha V). The exec producer has said that they've only just scratched the surface with the dynamic content generation system, Im excited to see how much further they go.

I agree that the exploration should be a big part of the game. The space battles are not going to keep me playing. It's cool but I like to explore new environments.

Well there seems to be an issue with the game over-heating video cards. I am having this issue and reading on the STO message boards it sounds like alot of people are. This seems to be happening after the last patch. So basically I can not do any ground mission becuase my FPS drops, heat goes up and the game crashes. Serenity NOW!

Really?  What type/model video cards is this happening with?

billybob476

Interesting, I know during beta ATI cards had some issues, I had to switch off dynamic shadows or something. Haven't played in the past day so not sure if there was a new patch.

Blackride

I have two 5870s and yes in Beta ATI did have some issues, but not this one.

Yeah, two 4850's here. First time in a long time I've been on ATI, I was an Nvidia guy for the longest time.

Rico

Well, maybe I'll be ok since I use an Nvidia 8800 GT.  I've always preferred their cards.

I really wish this was available for the Mac! I have Windows capability, but is has never worked properly on my machine.  :'(
