So I bought the expansion a few minutes ago and decided I'd better try it out again. I think I may delete my current toons and start fresh. Current toons are only level 11's and a few 2 or 3's.

Can anyone suggest which faction to play? I have played both in the past but want to settle on one going forward.

Also what about classes? Is any one class better at leveling So-Lo? It seems since I will be such a noob in the game that I will be solo for some time.

This is a sad day! I, too, enjoyed much of what the site gay.com used to offer. I hadn't logged on in some time and was shocked to see that it was not what it used to be!

I loved the idea that I could go to other states and talk with people that just wanted to talk as if I were not in the state, and they were aware of this, the chat would indeed be based on no other premises but the conversation itself!

Gay.com helped me to come out, too. I didn't know anything and was able to meet with people who to this day are some of my best friends. I started using gay.com in the late 90's.

I also know how important the site was for people dealing with specific issues to discuss them with others in specific chat rooms.

I will miss gay.com and what it used to be and what it did for me.

Hmm hadn't noticed but then since becoming a multi-millionaire with my Consular by selling cartel market items... I guess money isn't an issue for me

The interplanetary transport fees were changed from being distance-based to level-based. Makes sense, I always thought it strange that travelling to another planet, in a spaceship, was way way way cheaper than catching a taxi on the ground to go from point to point.

One of the main reasons I'm getting it is for the 2 player aspect.

STO will be taking a back seat until I beat it and get most achievements. ;)

When Traull and I were in London this last October for the Star Trek con, they had an exhibit there, where they were showing a 15 minute gameplay trailer in 3D and it looked awesome! :D

It's very much a first person shooter kind of game, as opposed to an RPG from what I saw, but you and another player work in tandem, as Kirk and Spock to combat enemies and to solve puzzles, with both characters bringing unique abilities to the table.

I'll be buying it, but it'll very much be a game that I play casually on a console as a FPS, as opposed to something I play a little more seriously, like STO.

I think most people will probably enjoy it, if they also enjoy FPS style games :)

LMAO! Great commercial!

I've preordered it. I've only watched a youtube vid or 2. Hoping for the best because it does look good. Sadly, I thought the same thing w/ BL2. Like previously mentioned, not sure what they were going for with the Gorn.

It's so easy now tuvak. Kill some Tholians and pound away at the CE.
I did it today for the first time since the revamp.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy. ;)

Hey all,

I'm Robert or you can just me Fish/Fishy. Just joined recently along with my best mate, Cj. We game everyday, either on the pc or 360. How he puts up with me everyday, I'll never now. All I can say is, "He likes me, he really likes me." lol

I just turned 33 yesterday. Bleh...I've skipped my bday the past 2 yrs. now, so technically I guess that means I'm still 31. I should of started skipping it at 25. ;) Hmm, I had a kidney transplant. It will be 2 yrs on Oct. 18. Love my mom. Best gift ever. I don't mind talking about it or Dialysis. I'm on open book when it comes to that topic. I've dealt with kidney failure all my life. So ask away, pm, friend request - love to chat and make new friends. One of these days I'll find my way onto Vent.

I have a kitten named Sigyn. She's a right lil monster.

After being in Mattachine and realizing it was the wrong fleet for me in many ways, I left along with a few other members. We started a new fleet but that didn't turn out too well. So Cj and I left and made our own fleet. Basically what he said, "to get away from random invites and for storage."

i want to play with ozy!!!! and, i want to do the crystalline catastrophe event with him too. LOL.

this looks like it's going to be fun. i tried the original CE probably three times...and vowed never to waste my time again. but the reading shows that it was completely reworked. time will tell.

Welcome CJ, I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience in your old Fleet. I'm sure you'll find us a pretty friendly bunch with a collective penchant for hilarious shenanigans.

Having only rounded the big Three-Oh bend myself last September I can tell you it's not so bad.

I'd say you can definitely write it as that the fighters are manned by AI or even controlled remotely by personnel on the mother ship.

On Voyager, it was established that ships as advanced as the Prometheus class could be manned with only a few people thanks to advancements in computer AI. It seems likely that, more than 30 years later, Starfleet would have the ability to load shuttlecraft with non-sentient AI or control a large number of them from a starship.

Welcome! Man, what is it with the hot British people around here? It's enough to make a California boy consider giving up sunshine to head across the pond.

Also, I sympathize with the turning 30 thing. I'll be hitting the big 3-0 myself this August.

on my Jemmy Dreadnought when my attack ships decide to do ramming speed and ram an enemy ship, I see a text over them that says, setting auto pilot, preparing for emergency beamout. (or something of the sort)

So is that on the NPC chat tab or something? because I've never seen it on my Jemmy Dreadnought

I see it on mine often enough, it probably shows up on the NPC chat tab, yes. Otherwise you can see it in a NPC contact bubble above the Jem Hadar ship before she rams. Seeing that happen on the USS Royal Ascension is very fun!

It is NOTHING in the face of the USS McCandless. Nothing!

Yea i noticed that as well.

I will be doing this every day this week on all 4 characters i have generally between 8pm-midnight GMT (well BST now i suppose). Hopefully we can get some groups together.

Hey it's just like the old GIJoe cartoons where pilots would always bail out before their plane blows up ;)

ME ME! Pick Me!!!
