I thought the episode was fantastic and I can't wait to see more. It was definitely slow, but made the anticipation and excitement to find out the inevitable even more palpable. I hope the rest of the season is equally slow and we get to see the build up of the disease unlike in The Walking Dead. I loved the hour long play time. Makes me wish the rest were that long.
It's nice to see what it was like when it was just starting to happen. It's obvious that the government is try to keep is trying to keep it under wraps. Specially when the doctor said he "wanted him down stairs in 60 seconds" or what not. And the fact that there wasn't any news about, ya know, people eating people! I wonder if we'll get to see the tipping point where they really can't keep it hidden anymore.
Nick was a hottie. I hope he doesn't die. I like that they went straight into anyone who dies automatically turns into a zombie since we already know that's true cause of The Walking Dead. Though, that'll give a lot away to those just coming to the franchise.
All in all, I loved it and I can't wait to see more (of Nick's abs).

Things I would try tinkering with:
Resolution: That is on the high-side, start by dropping down. Less rendered pixels to push will help.
Bloom: Try turning it off. For some reason Bloom can be a problem in general on Mac game clients.
Anisotropic Filtering: Drop it down
Reflections: depending on how they render them, you could try dropping that down. I'm guessing they don't use a simple reflection map, so that might help.
Max Lights per Object: Try dropping it to 4.
I would say the biggest things to change would be res, filtering and bloom and go from there.
Another option is the Boot Camp option. I normally wind up using Boot Camp for games, even when there is a Mac version via Steam. A lot of ports from DirectX are not well optimized for OpenGL. STO is definitely one I Boot Camp on my desktop, though I do run it MacOS on my laptop. Do not run STO in Parallels, I've gotten some games to perform adequately in it, but STO is not one of them.

Mission Update:
I have completely changed out the Ground map and I am updating the Dialogue. I am trying to create some interactive options, including for liberated borg.

I'm running on the Mac Client (not with steam, but the other client).

If you have any recommendations to increase the prettiness, without killing the performance, I'd appreciate it!

I'm normally quite tech savvy. But clueless when it comes to graphics

Oh God no.
Because of your love for it, we'll move forward with Season 2 :evil:
Cheers,

I was afraid of this the moment you applied.
Starting to wish you went with the sorority girl now, aintcha?

Are you running the Mac client or Win client through Boot Camp? What resolution are you running at in game?

Yeah it definitely had it's slow moments with him in hospital but it was all worth it for the last however long it was.
I really enjoyed the episode from start to finish and I thought the actor who played Nick (I think that was his name? good looking druggie) did really well. I felt for him so bad when he took them to see the lad he shot but he wasn't there. He really did seem like he has going to have a mental breakdown.
Really looking forward to next week.

So who managed to watch the first episode? What did you think?
I thought the first 20 or so minutes were a bit slow but it definitely picked up towards the end.
Any Predictions for the next 5 episodes??
:whistle: :P :whistle:

Colony Invasion is a walk in the park compared to any of these STFs. You don't even need to switch to ground traits to do it, so sign up with Calx when he's putting one together!

Thanks for the positive responses, you guys!
And please help spread the word about autofire! I didn't know it was that well-kept of a secret, but it is definitely less obvious that space autofire. If you guys didn't know about it then there are probably lots of fleeties out there who don't either.

Ground combat guide: Gear
--BOFFs--
The only places on ground that you can take bridge officers are episode missions, New Romulus, Kobali, and the Voth BZ. For the hardest ground content, they're not even present.
Boffs on ground are like incompetent versions of you. They spend time running around instead of shooting, they lay down mines and turrets and generators in far from ideal locations, and they don't any of the basic mechanics of ground combat like expose/exploit and flanking. So I wouldn't spend much on their gear since they aren't going to use it well. Give them stuff that you aren't using, mission rewards, or cheap mkXII blue or purple gear from the exchange.
But boffs aren't terrible at everything. Here are some things that they can do for you that might be useful.
1. Healing. Boffs can heal better than you can because the mechanics of healing others (stop firing, choose the ally, get close to them, cast the heal, start combat again) are cumbersome, but boffs are addicted to just spamming whatever skills you give them and they do it quickly. Vascular Regenerator, Medical Tricorder, and Nanite Health Monitor are all useful skills for boffs.
2. Spamming debuffs. Tricorder Scan (lowers enemy damage resistance, which greatly increases the damage of anyone shooting them) is always useful since you're always trying to shoot the enemies.
3. Spamming other stuff. Quantum Mortar is useful here because they have a long range and don't require a line of sight, but if you don't care about where stuff gets placed, then you can trust your boffs to lay it down as soon as combat starts.
4. Tank. I have a boff in a red TOS uniform with Draw Fire who is always the first to die wherever I take him.
