It's definitely happening, and it's the first (inaugural) from this specific company. I'm thinking about going, but I despise NCL as a cruise line -- I'm going on my 21st cruise in October, and 2 of them have been on NCL, and they've been the worst. I spoke about my concerns with leadership from the company putting on the ST cruise while they were at STLV, and they assured me that I wouldn't run into the same issues (bad service, bad food, etc.) on this cruise, even though it's NCL.

Cheers,

Let's skip straight to the important stuff: What's the scoop on HoT engineers?! :woohoo:

Just a footnote: apparently there weren't many hold outs to issuing licenses. But even they have been made to get with the program.

Maybe I'm thinking like a teacher. I try to find as many texts as possible for my students that are free online so that they're not spending as much. Textbook prices are obscene.

I like it so far, but I wish there were more content. That being said, totally looking forward to the new expansion! My handle in-game is Arrhae. Feel free to add away!

Hey folks, I just started playing this game a few days ago with a friend. My handle in game is Colivia. I searched the groups and found one called Stonewall, is that folks from here?

I'm a Die-Hard & an Old Fogie! I'm sure I'll get it on sale at Amazon at some point.

I prefer the tactile experience of reading a hardcover book. :blink:

Just as a reminder to everybody, these codes are valid for a period of 60 days after the end of Gamescom so have nott expired yet.

Yeah, if you're just interested in recording what's on your screen when you play, then FRAPS is the best program to use. If you're wanting to use different camera angles and record a movie of your activities in STO, you can use the built in demorecord feature. Some examples of what demorecord can do, are some fleet event trailers that can be found in the first post in this thread under the event trailer heading:

Using FRAPS is as easy as hitting a button to record what you see on screen, while demorecord has a much steeper learning curve, but you can find tutorials on YouTube if you'd like to learn about it.

Good luck!

I would say if yuo find the escort a bit hectic you might want to try the tray 7 keybind if you havent already.
If your not sure what it is i can help you set it up in game sometime. It will help to automate alot of the functions of your ship by binding them to the spacebar key.

With regards to ships i would recommend going for a T6 ship as the space traits make them worthwhile.

How are you planning to buy the ship your getting?

I think you would love the Avenger (it's called the Battlecruiser in the ship requisition screen). It is a C-store ship though and costs 2500 Zen, that would be about 25 euro's, I guess the same in dollars. Or if you are willing to work hard for it and get the dilithium to convert it, it would currently cost about 570.000 dilithium (believe me, buying the zen is way cheaper - plus you get extra's on your first time of buying zen).
The Avenger is in my opinion a great ship and well worth the zen. It's been a while since I have flown it, so I can't remember the specifics exactly, but you can read about it here on the sto-wiki. I have always thought of it as excellent combination of an escort and a cruiser (and looks quite nice too!).

You will find us very good with giving suggestions. Best idea is to ask in the game chat channel or teamspeak, many factors make a difference.

so as a pretty new player, i know the game has been arround for years but ive not. so started with an engineer and have been using an advanced tactical ship (promethius without the multivector coolness) and while i like it, i do. it breaks really easily and that i dont love so much. so i know that crusers are mero sturdy but slower. thing is ships are sooooooo expensive. i get that if you hav ebeen playing for years 100k dilithium might be noething but its a lot to me.

so, is there any sort of recomended ships, good, easy to play with and dont require frantic button cliciking to be be awesome or just to survive?

i realise that i might be asking how long is a peice of string but i dont know enough about the game to know if i am.

FRAPS is pretty good at video recording your stuff too!

I'll send you some info in pm.

I have been hearing a lot about a Star Trek Cruise lately. I've also heard they have happened prior as well. I'd love to be on one of those cruises.

But, what confuses me is this says inaugural...so now idk why I've heard so many say it's happened prior as well. :\

It's clear to me this is for the diehards with money. Myself, I sometimes spend hours reading through Memory-Alpha--for free.

That means there is a built in recorder? I am having problems figuring it out but I will keep working on it. Thank You so much :)

I believe there is a native tool called Demo Record that lets you record within STO. I've never used it before but maybe give that a try?

This sounds kind of neat if it actually happens!
