Been thinking of pre ordering this, although the videos of the ground based fighting / combat look pretty bad tbh...

Is there any advantage over which place you pre order the game from? I see that you get different things depending on where you buy it, don't know which is best.

I think until you get in the game and can see them all for there then based on the screenshots they dont always capture the best look. Also remember every ship is customisable so u can take away some of the parts u don't like.

sweet, did not know that.

I've watched pritty much all videos, even the unofficial ones. I think the graphics look good. They may not be brilliant, but neither is WOW and look at how many play that :)

The MMO genre has to appeal to as many people as possible, not everyone has the most up to date PC's .. in fact mine is about 4 years old :p and I still plan on playing STO for a long time :D

7 days till Open Beta, and I've just got 7 days free of WoW to kill the time :)

Yeah sorry, Our closed beta is today.

Congratulations Lieutenant!

Welcome to the last closed beta state of the game you will ever read!

We are so looking forward to the build this weekend, because this is our last play test before Open Beta begins on Tuesday, January 12 (10:00 a.m. Pacific, if you're being picky).

Of course, there will be changes made to Star Trek Online before and during Open Beta, so we really need as much info from you as possible. The more info we have, the better we can finalize these changes. (And yes, we?ve modified the grade-up FX so audio doesn?t play for everyone in the same zone as you! Win!)

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
