I have been debating this for a bit. I don't seem interested in the ground battles though, is there good progression if they are skipped. And I hope it's single server like eve-online

I just pre-ordered it, thinking the same thing. The ground battles on youtube seemed REALLY lame.

Managed to get on the closed beta last night, after a little bug from cryptic allowing Pre-order keys access :p

Played for just over 1 hour. My opinions:

Was quite impressed with the graphics, even though I am running a 8600GT I did have to fine tune some settings.

I rushed through the char creator, as I was unsure how long I would be able to play.

The controls where similar to WoW for ground combat, and for ship control wsad worked well. I loved the space combat, ground was so so but worked well in the environments and adds that little extra to the game that I think will work well.

UI seemed to function well, running @ 1024x768, I probably could up that but didn't want to risk losing access :p But the UI did not seem cramped.

I managed to finish the tutorial, but it was fast approaching 12am and I had to go to bed as I was up at 6am.

Basically, after this little go, it makes me even more anxious for Tuesday, where I can slow the gameplay down and really enjoy it.

Well I have to say I enjoy the game, it still has lots of issues that need fixing, but even since I first played last weekend they have changed HUD and there are now animated login screens and a bazillion more customisation options for you're character, they added bridges initially, only aesthetic for the moment, Klingons and now Klingon women (with clothes, for a while they were naked so couldn't be played) but there are issues and I am sure open beta will help pick up more bugs.

I am a bit 'eugh' about the ground combat in all honesty but it'll improve I am sure...I do however love the space combat and it does have SFC feel to it which I really like :)

So it does have it's issues for sure, and I like Raktael LOVE space combat but don't really care for ground combat. I can see the game getting really repetitive though. I mean right now its beta so you are working on accomplishments and seeing how fast you can level up and get that next big ship, or trying to unlock Klingon like the cool kids (although Klingon's still have a lot of bugs) but overall its a good game. Still don't think I will buy it as I want to wait on Star Wars over this one and don't want to purchase this and 6 months later star wars comes out and I have to quit.

Its funny about the open beta access guys getting in last night. The game kicked me, then I had an authentification error for a while, which come to find out the login servers were down not only for us but for Champions also, then they come back up and get flooded with open beta guys getting in. I mean I know its beta and you have issues, but just seems like some of these issues are something you would see in a F2P game and not from a AAA title.

I'm very excited for the release. I have been getting as much time in the beta as possible, and have been having a blast.

So was it an "Impulse" buy for you?

I'll go back to my corner now... But EB Games is screwing the dog on this one... I pre-ordered the CE in-store and I still haven't gotten my pre-order key...

Well I have spent time in the beta (closed) and expressed some of my views already, when/if you get into beta, remember you're still not playing a finished product and there are still bugs and thats why you're going in there!

I won't be playing much of beta because it will just be frustrating when I get to start the game for real lol.

I might see some of you tonight, message me: Raktael@Raktael will be my handle.

Oh I'm so going to be playing this either tonight or tomorrow once I get home. The open beta is up 24/7 so I can log in as soon as I get home tomorrow morning if that's the case, YAY. Maybe I can squirm my way out of going out today and play at 1 PM :D

yeah message me also in game if you need some help.

I will either be on nwb@smeltn or smeltn@smeltn in game.

For those of you who have not played yet. In order to message someone in game you must you the toon name they are playing on AND the @accountname at the end.. I absolutely HATE this, and I think it leaves way to much open for someone to steal your account since all they need to know is your password now, but hey, they wanted to be lazy and not put in some sort of block so 2 people can't have the same name and that's what you get.

hmm BTW did we have a character wipe for OB? I am just wondering if I have to start over tonight, or will I be able to fly to Earth dock and show off my Enterprise :)

because of the single server structure nature, im down with a Neowin Fleet

only issue is im still undecided on Klingon or Federation. iv seen the size of the High End Klingon

but my favorite StarTrek ships are the BOP's and Defiant

(Edit) here is a image i found, this isnt the one i found last night as it listed the loadouts and BO's of the klingon ships also, so this will be a placeholder untill i get home and check my browser history

(Edit2) i was wondering why there were 2 Constitutions listed, just realized 1 is Abrams 1 is TOS )

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta

      By Copernic · Posted

      BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

      DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
