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!

Hi everyone! How is it going today? Beautiful day out there! But I am staying in to play STO lol. I have a question about recording the game. I have tried a couple types of software to record my adventures in STO and all I am getting is a video of a black screen with sound. Is there a recording software package that works with Star Trek Online?

Thanks :cheer:

Hey folks,
So as a lot of you probably know already this past weekend (7th-10th) the first beta weekend event for Heart of Thorns was going on, and those of us who pre-purchased got to go in and have a run around a section of the map and try out all these juicy expansion things. I was just looking to see what any other guildies who were in the beta thought (seeing as the guild panel was unavailable), and if anybody who wasn't there has any questions about the new specialisations/the masteries/the map, anything, feel free to ask! I got to try out all the specialisations except reaper (ran out of character slots haha).
Let me know what you thought!

oh man GW1! I have it installed for the same reason, after those HoM achieves and the nostalgia trips! My in game name for that is Delivering Bow (I know, I know...). I was in there not too long ago going for all the mission bonus stuff but got stuff in crystal desert, so I'm all for a guild presence in the game haha!

is it a book...or an online manual?

looks like a 2 book set this time...but yeah, it is a bit pricey, considering we live in wiki world now.

Maybe someone should remind them...

I play the game alot on euw, but I do have an Na account for when euw inevitably breaks for half a day every now and again :p

Wow! I still have my old one, and was wondering if we'd ever see an update. Can't wait for this.

Cheers,

Anyone playing? I'm on the NA server, Summoner Name: CapnBranFlakes. Let's team up and rock the rift!

That is some amazing makeup work, Finka! Michael Westmore himself couldn't have done a better job.
