Yeah, that's one thing they need to change. I mean in WoW you don't really lose anything but at least you have to run back to your body and your durability takes a hit. In STO you just kind of respawn and all is well.

I think at the very least putting in that durability mechanic would do SOMETHING. Basically you'd have to put into a star base at a certain point for repair.

Yeah, I agree on that.  If nothing is holding you back from killing/get killed, then the game itself kinda becomes pointless....hmm

You do lose things. You lose crew and that reduces your stats until you can get back to port. Or maybe they regen over time, but there is most assuredly a loss. As for the bridge, it wasn't included because it wasn't needed. You command the ship from an third person perspective. Hails are handled via popup. There was no need for an actual bridge, but when you do get them, they are pretty much clubhouses.

You regen by itself and its VERY fast.

So can you walk into your own ship or is there only the bridge?

They are eventually going to add more.  Some of the things that they said they wanted to add was the Captains Ready Room and a place like 10 forward.

You can walk around the bridge.

Admiral Quinn is the guy from TNG who had the weird parasite inside him that Merrick/Queen was controlling.

I want to do the mission with the Guardian but I think I won't see it until towards the end of Level 10 (which I just made tonight).  I wish I could play this game more than just 1 1/2 hours per day....  Maybe this weekend will be a good gaming weekend (once I have woo'ed my wifey for Valentine's Day).

Same here, I just made level 10 and wish I had more play time!

[Blackride]

I am level 15 and you can easily do the Guardian mission and the Doosday one.

I just made it to Lt. Commander and got my new heavy cruiser ship!  Armed to the teeth, a bridge crew of six (4 on duty) and ready to rock!  Now if I can just get Quinn to give me the Guardian mish....

Quinn is the only one who has good missions currently imo. At least there is TONS of room to grow.

I made level 16 last night. If I see u on we can hook up.

[RickPeete]

I looked for ya Thursday night but no joy.

I finally got the Guardian mission tho!  Awesome set of missions!  And I made a ton of skillpoints.  It moved me to Lt Cmdr Grade 2 already!

[RickPeete]

One thing though...

Has any experienced their computers just 'turning themselves off' while in the game?  I have had two different computers just 'turn off' after zoning into a mission.  I have never seen this before.  The only thing I can think of is that tonight there was a new patch to the game which I loaded.

I am just curious if anyone had experienced this.  I am going to check the STO forums and see if anyone has posted about this.

Thankfully, I did not lose my place (or my progress) when I rebooted and returned to the game. Whew!

[Rico]

Rebooting your machines?  Huh?!  That really sounds like a possible graphics/heat issue.  Rick what type of hardware/graphics cards are you using?

[Blackride]

I had that issue when I had dynamic lighting turned on. It was heating up my card like crazy!
