I got in the Beta through File Planet, not sure why I even bothered as I am not an MMO guy at all, but something intrigued me. I am not a Trekker by any means (or Trekkie, whatever the non offensive term is) but I don't know, something is making me say check it out. And the fact it was just a matter of clicking on a link and getting in the Beta did not hurt. So we will see. Part of me is thinking give me key to someone who would really be into it, but part of me is thinking check it out.

Larry, I am not a trekkie either, and I used to not be a MMO'er myself really until WOW, but now I want to play them all the time lol.

I do like this game though, the space combat is awesome.. Although, one thing I must say is, I don't know how bad Champions Online is as far as stability and fixing issues and such, but this game is horribly bugged and problematic. I mean sure you can say its in beta, but tonight is OPEN beta, and the game releases in 2 1/2 weeks and we still have a TON of issues. I mean they can't even keep the servers up much less fix actual game play issues that have been in the game since we started Closed beta 2 months ago. Servers are down now for an emergency maint and 200meg patch, and will be down for 2 hours..

I guess I am just upset because after finding out that Star Wars isn't coming out till 2011, I was really going to put out the money to play this one until then, but I am REALLY reluctant now

Last night was frustrating but I expected it being the first day of open beta, but some issues arose that were abolsutely fine in closed and thats what it is all about.

I got through the tutorial without any problems in all honesty but then spent near on 2 hours trying to complete the Azura mission, i didn't mind in one way as it just reset the quest and I kept all the loot and experience ;) but when I finally made it through and moved on to the patrol missions...omg...couldnt get into zones and when I did even though I wasn't partied I was facing ships increased in power because the system assumed I was in a team...nightmare, and most of my fleet colleagues had the same issue but some had no problems at all which made it even more frustrating!

I'm hoping with the new patch and some work things will stabilize and I'll be able to get on and play and do some proper testing.

they had an emergency patch and maint. last night before I went to bed.. It was so bad, I was getting DC'ed every time I would use a teleporter or beam down to a planet, and then when you try to log in you would get a Map full error. Hopefully this will all be fixed soon.

My buddy is a little upset about the way the game handles instancing. Like for example, we don't know yet how many servers the game will have, or if it will only have 1. So when you log in and want to meet up with your friends or want to trade with someone, you have to ask them what instance they are actually in, or zone # and then go to that same one in order to see them.. Kinda weird for a AAA game. I personally think its a better system, so you don't have 5k people standing around in one area killing your fps and lagging you out, or especially where this game has collision as in if you walk up to another player you bump into them and stop.. So with that in play if there wasn't some sort of zones in play, you would never be able to talk to an NPC to do a quest if a million people are standing around him.

As someone that never could get into Eve, what do you prefer in that game that STO doesn't do?

I'm on the fence still. Parts are really fun but it does feel a bit rough around the edges. Even simple things like the 'Continue' button are annoying at best. I'm also fairly disappointed with flight and z-axis issues in general. Need more playtime tonight.

Is there a way to auto-fire based on your bar setting(phaser/torp/both)?

yes there is/will be 1 server with an unlimited number of instances. each instance from what i have seen looks at about 50 each so far from what i have seen ( grouped or ungrouped doesnt matter ).

the map error from what i read was patched last night, aparently the servers were not spawning new instances like it should

they had an .......some sort of zones in play, you would never be able to talk to an NPC to do a quest if a million people are standing around him.

Right Click the Weapon

literally i have my ship set to Fire at will, Auto fire ( indicated by a blue outline), it will fire at whatever thats inrange atm, even stuff im not targeting ( a target will override that ) Torps i dont think can be set to Auto fire, same with some other things

Okay I admit I am new to MMO's, but do they generally run so crappy? I have a GTX 285, no slouch of a card, but if I put the game to 1900 x 1080, it is barely playable, and even at lower resolutions it is all skippy and jumpy all over the place. When I launched it initially it defaulted to 1280, so is that really what I need to run it at?

oh wow I didn't about the auto fire.. That's awesome. I get so tired of spamming spacebar!!!

It's not just you. This game is a HORRIBLE resource hog... It kills my buddies and my machine and we both have some pretty nice gaming systems...

I run mine at 1680 and when I first zoned into the starting area it was choppy as hell, but once I got done with the noobie zone and actually got on my ship, the game started running smoothly..

It has a auto set graphics feature that works as you play.

MMOs will always have more overhead, thats why they will never look as good as a recent FPS. That said, it does chug quite a bit for the level of detail it puts out. Still beta though, hopefully it will get optimized. I still need to update to the latest CATs as well.

Thanks for the tip. So who has teh NeoFleet started?

As someone that never could get into Eve, what do you prefer in that game that STO doesn't do?

I really only wanted to play STO for the ship combat...The ships and weapons are extremely limited, doesn't seem to be much depth to anything, I hate having classes that determine my future abilities vs specialized players, most everyone just picks classes that will work best at killing other people... The game runs like ****, needs another 6 months of work imo, there isn't any polish whatsoever, seems like a half finished game. Everything is just very limited and simple, can't really see myself getting into it... STO reminds me of a very PvE based game, where eve is based more on pvp and player interactions, owning your own stations / structures, etc. Especially considering eve is one big world, not a whole bunch of instances, STO is somewhat of an rpg, but with a few online elements imo.

I think in time STO will get much better, but right now it's going through its infancy stages.

Okay thanks for the response. (Y)

And I should clarify, it is not like I never installed an MMO, I was actually in the WoW Beta somehow, I think back when I paid for Fileplanet, so it is not like I am compeltely foreign to them, and I do recall that being a little choppy, but with this game it was like a player takes a step, freezes, then 2 seconds later they are like 5 feet further.

I will keep on plugging on and see if it gets any better, but I am already at the point I feel like I should have given my Beta key away to someone who really would enjoy it. I did read your comment earlier about how you were never an MMO player and they eventually grew on you, but seriously I am just not an MMO person. I just know for one I cannot commit the time it takes to really get the most out of it, but even if I could I have always had a saying "if the game does not have an ending I do not play it." I personally like closure so I can move on to the next game. Also I had a friend lose a lot of years to Everquest, in a way it still has affected him to this very day, so I just also have something against them. :laugh:

i run a i7, 6GB DDR3 Tripple Chanel, 2x GTX 280 in SLI 1920x1080 max everything

choppy as crap on the ground, smooth as ever inspace ( except in the DeepSpace wave/wave/wave fight where 3 of the huge battlecrusers blew up in my face at once from everybody pounding on them, i droped about 25% hull damage from the blast alone )

My buddy is a little upset about the way the game handles instancing. Like for example, <snip>

This is the same way it's done in Aion, and TBH, I prefer it that way.

Far better than 50 people grinding/fishing/mining the same stuff you want and can't get it. Switch to another zone and bingo, off you go.

Never a hassle to find what zone others are in, and seconds to change it.

Too bad I can't even get into STO, just "map full"s me every time. Guess I won't be buying this one!

See I agree with you Raa. I actually like this way better as I said in my post earlier

As far as the map full problem, that was supposedly patched and fixed late last night, have you tried this evening?

yeah I just got the patch notes here

HOT ISSUES

* Map Is Full issue. There is a strain on auto-grouping such that many players across instances are trying to access the same mission at the same time. By the time your client connected to the instance, it was full (all mission maps are 5 man) and it would kick you out to pick another map screen. Trouble was you'd pick one and then that one would be full too. We have put in a hopeful fix for this. If you do see the list of maps - select a map with the least number of players on it, or turn off open grouping in the social menu.

* Server load is causing some map transfers to fail to load all character data ending up with ships on ground maps or characters in space. Logging out and back in should fix this.

    • 7 Days: Killing uBlock Origin bypasses, Euro Office faces fire, and will AI replace you?

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      7 Days: Killing uBlock Origin bypasses, Euro Office faces fire, and will AI replace you? by Aditya Tiwari 7 Days is a weekly roundup of picks of what's been happening in the world of technology - written with a dash of humor, a hint of exasperation, and an endless supply of (black) coffee. This week's highlights include WWDC 2026 announcements, updates on child safety, and Meta's use of data from outside businesses to optimize your feed. Let's get started. You can check out the recent issues of the 7 Days weekly roundup. Killing uBlock Origin bypasses The hottest news of the week was about Google Chrome effectively ending most uBlock Origin workarounds (a free, open-source ad blocker extension) by permanently dropping MV2 extensions and their bypasses. Chrome is transitioning towards newer MV3 extensions. A recent discussion thread highlighted how the latest and upcoming versions of the most popular browser are expected to be its final releases with support for MV2 extensions. Genuinely European? Euro-Office faces fire The recently launched cloud-based office suite, Euro-Office, is facing criticism at home. The LibreOffice developer wrote an open letter criticizing Euro-Office for its marketing claim that it's the "first open-source office suite developed in Europe," since the honor has belonged to OpenOffice since 2001. The Document Foundation has called out Euro-Office, arguing that it can't consider "itself genuinely European" as long as it keeps pushing Microsoft defaults on users, adding that "it has to speak ODF as its mother tongue." Will AI replace you? Image: Tara Winstead via Pexels Microsoft's AI boss, Mustafa Suleyman, said in an interview earlier this year that AI would replace office workers within 12 to 18 months. Joining the ranks of top executives who have softened their stance on AI replacing humans, Suleyman recently walked back his earlier remarks and now says that AI will automate tasks, not replace entire white-collar jobs. He defended his earlier comments by arguing that they referred only to individual actions people perform at their desks. Louis Rossmann wants to sue Samsung Image: Louis Rossmann Tech repair entrepreneur and right-to-repair activist Louis Rossmann contacted Samsung support over a failed 4TB Samsung 990 Pro NVMe SSD. After back-and-forth communication, Samsung offered a $330 refund instead of a replacement, but Rossmann found that the SSD was readily available for new buyers at a higher price. He has issued a formal 60-day notice and intends to file a suit in Texas small claims court, as Samsung's actions reflect a failure to honor its warranty obligations. Samsung reached out to Neowin to clarify its updated stance that customers in such situations will receive a refund equal to the product's current market price. Child safety or mass surveillance? Image: Jonathan Borba via Pexels Signal accused the UK government of using child safety and device-level explicit content ban as a cover for mass surveillance. Calling the plan "dystopian," Signal warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy. The messaging platform believes that the government should keep children "safe" and "protected," but it should do so through social services and education. Fears of social media regulation Image via DepositPhotos.com More governments across the globe are tightening their grip on social media and bringing stricter regulations in the name of child safety. Bluesky COO, Rose Wang, warned that social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups and that heavy regulatory compliance costs favor deep-pocketed tech giants while locking out new entrants. Our Features Image: Pexels Our coffee-powered team publishes a platter of editorials, opinion posts, and guides. Here's what they got for the week: UK **** blockers are a looming privacy disaster, we must be able to see the source code This week in software news Image: Proton Catch up on some of the latest software news updates that arrived throughout the week: Dark clouds over PC makers: Building on our report from last month, Dell officially acknowledged that its own remediation software was causing BSOD issues and unexpected system restarts. HP is also facing equally frustrating issues involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates on Windows 11. Controversial icon: Spotify finally removed the disco ball icon from its app and replaced it with the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. While some people don't like the new design, the retro, three-dimensional look has generated a following of its own. Even other brands are coming up with their versions of the disco logo. NVIDIA fixes stuff: A new hotfix driver 610.52 fixes various issues related to monitors and displays, noting that G-SYNC-related frame pacing troubles should now be resolved on Ada Lovelace GPUs. The feedback thread also points out that the hotfix patches a BSOD issue. FIFA World Cup tracker: Opera is redesigning its Android browser with a built-in football tracker for the upcoming World Cup in the US. The new homepage is now "more immersive" with easier access to common browser features. Command line for Proton: The Swiss technology company has launched a command line version of the Proton Drive, which you can use to manage your encrypted files directly from a terminal across all major platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. This week in hardware news Image: Thermaltake Catch up on some of the latest software news updates that arrived throughout the week: Intel and AMD PCs in one case: Thermaltake's CAPO X dual-system chassis brings you the best of both worlds by supporting two microATX (mATX) motherboards and up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. If you want ideas, maybe you can use one as your main PC and another as an AI agent. Google Tensor production: While TSMC will remain the lead producer, the search giant is reportedly in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production of its next-generation Tensor AI chips. The upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Lethal fake phone chargers: UK-based consumer rights organization Which? has warned that "potentially lethal knock-off chargers" are still being sold on online marketplaces, including Amazon and eBay, despite the dangers of such chargers having been exposed. This week in Google News Image: Google Catch up on some of the latest Google news updates that arrived throughout the week: Sliding into DMs: You might remember that YouTube had a direct messaging feature back in the day. It's now rolling out a revamped direct messaging inbox that lets you share Shorts, videos, and live streams and have conversations about them. New in NotebookLM: The AI-powered note-taking app got some new agentic capabilities and more advanced reasoning, thanks to support for Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity. NotebookLM can now generate outputs in more formats, making it easier to start new projects with less information. This week in Apple News Image: Apple Catch up on some of the latest Apple news updates that arrived throughout the week: WWDC 2026: This week was all about Apple's annual developer conference, where the iPhone-maker finally unveiled an upgraded Siri AI and a platter of new Apple Intelligence features. Siri AI now has a cross-platform app, which is supported on select models of iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro. What's different about WWDC: I wrote a detailed feature this week discussing how Apple changed the WWDC keynote this year, blurring the lines between its operating systems. Apple didn't have dedicated segments for its operating systems this year and didn't even publish the official press releases. Liquid Glass slider (finally): It's that time of the year when Apple previews fresh updates for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, and other platforms. A new transparency slider for Liquid Glass is coming to iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 Golden Gate. Is your device supported?: If you're wondering whether your Apple device supports the new developer beta builds, you can check the respective compatibility lists for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and watchOS 27. Siri AI not coming to Europe: Yes, that's true due to complications related to the Digital Markets Act (DMA). While Apple penned a blog post to tell its side of the story, a European Commission spokesperson told Neowin that the DMA does not prohibit Apple from launching its services in the EU; the company is simply required to comply with the law. New child safety features: Apple announced a trove of new safety features for kids, including a simpler setup experience for parents, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time UI. Parents can now visit a new website to find answers to common questions around child safety features. More cloud power: Apple's Private Cloud Compute cloud infrastructure will now run beyond its own data centers for the first time. It's working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. This week in Meta news Catch up on the latest Meta news updates that arrived throughout the week: Data from outside: Meta is rolling out a new update globally to personalize your AI responses and primary feeds using data from outside businesses. It already targets ads based on shopping activity, but the latest development enables it to personalize other "parts of your experience." There is a toggle in the Settings to disable activity from other businesses; however, it won't prevent companies from sending your data to Meta. Level playing field: The European Commission has ordered the social media giant to restore access to WhatsApp for third-party AI chatbots, including ChatGPT and Copilot. Meta previously blocked rival AI chatbots from operating on WhatsApp, prompting the Commission to launch an antitrust investigation. Spying on users: On the flip side, WhatsApp accused the Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of targeted "spear phishing" attacks against its users, which were thwarted by WhatsApp's security teams. Reorder profile grid: Adding some customization for the profile grid feature, Instagram now lets you rearrange posts in your profile without deleting and reuploading content. Go to your profile and long-press any thumbnail to find the "Reorder grid" option. This week in AI news Catch up on the latest artificial intelligence news updates that arrived throughout the week: Claude RAM hogger: Windows users are getting infuriated by Claude Desktop's hidden 1.8GB Hyper-V VM bug, which spins up if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once. It shows a Vmmem process in Task Manager, indicating 0% CPU usage but 1.8GB of RAM usage. Claude Fable 5: The new state-of-the-art AI model from Anthropic beats OpenAI's ChatGPT-5.5 in multiple AI benchmarks. Claude Fable 5 sits above the Opus models and outperforms most other generally available models across knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and more. However, the model was abruptly suspended after receiving an export control directive from the US government. Stack Overflow for AI agents: The popular Q&A platform has launched Stack Overflow for Agents in beta, which AI agents can use to share, find, and reuse coding knowledge. It explained that AI agents operate in isolation, creating an Ephemeral Intelligence Gap, and valuable tokens are wasted on something another agent has already solved. Upgrading Codex: OpenAI is buying a company called Ona, which makes secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. The ChatGPT-maker aims to make Codex agents run for days without being tied to a local machine or an active session. It also announced a new developer mode in Chrome. This week in open-source news Catch up on some of the latest open-source and Linux updates that arrived throughout the week: Linux 7.1 rc7: Linux Torvalds dropped an optimized rc7 with crucial fixes for AMD and laptop hardware. He said that a stable version of Linux 7.1 could arrive next week, adding that the latest RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases. Alpine Linux 3.24: The latest Alpine Linux release added support for COSMIC Desktop, Linux 6.18, IPv6 installer support, automatic serial console configuration for headless setups, and major package updates and removals. This week in Microsoft News Microsoft had to shut down more than 70 GitHub repos after they were compromised by malware, Teams is getting a controversial tracking feature that users may hate, and the company explained why the new update makes PowerToys faster. You can check out Taras's freshly baked Microsoft Weekly roundup to catch up on all the interesting stories this week. This week in gaming The latest issue of Pulasthi's Weekend PC Game Deals curates several exciting games on sale this week. On the Epic Games Store, the new titles on display for grabs include Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. NVIDIA GeForce NOW's summer sale lowered the prices of both the Performance and Ultimate membership options for a limited time period. Meanwhile, the Xbox Free Play Days brought Undead Labs' post-apocalyptic title State of Decay 2, as well as two Team17-published titles. That said, here are some more stories from the gaming world: Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming Playground drops 30 minutes of Fable gameplay, shows off life sim and morality system Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer From the review corner This week, Taras got his hands on the DuRoBo Krono portable e-ink reader, which comes with a $279 price tag. It's a smartphone-sized device with a rotating dial, sitting somewhere between premium and cheap in terms of build quality. Speaking of the pros, the physical controls are cool, the smart dial is useful, the battery life is good, and Android 15 has no-nonsense software. On the flip side, the device lacks software customization, the built-in AI needs improvement, the smart dial is a bit wobbly, and there is no ambient light sensor. EA Sports UFC 6 EA Sports UFC 6 does a better job at onboarding new players than most fighting games, according to Pulasthi's detailed review. The game comes with rewarding combat systems, top-notch animation, impressive impact physics, and visible damage on fighters. However, the menus lag a lot, grappling isn't very fun, and the flow state feels a little misplaced. More price drops! We got you covered with some hot tech deals all week. For some reason, if you missed out on a great discount, here is a summary of some recent deals that are still alive: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC ICE 16G - $649.99 (13% off) 1TB Samsung T7 Portable SSD - $189.98 (31% off) AirPods Pro 3 - $179 ($50 off) Edifier R1280Ts Powered Bookshelf Speakers - $129.99 (24% off) To view all of our recent deals, click here.

      Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.
