Star Trek Online Gameplay Commentary - First Look HD

Can you command your ship from the bridge yet?

[ustrekkie92]

For a free MMO, I totally love playing it! I played back in the beta version and a free 30 day trial and I gotta say they have made some vast improvements. The starship selection and purchase menus are better, you can purchase shuttles, you have the option to chose any vessel regardless of your officer type, plus the customization of your ship and crew is a lot cheaper if you have energy credits. So if you messed up with your uniform you can change for less! Great Game!

In space combat the spacebar is your friend. It will fire all available energy weapons at your target. Ctrl+Space will fire all projectile weapons and Alt+Space will fire all weapons.

Chipz is not doing more first looks?

[123gaje]

star trek online have buffs?

[Cowinspace]

@123gaje Yes, the science class does buffing, debuffing and healing.

[123gaje]

and then you have got the crew (somehow you get them around leve 5 i guess). Each member has unique traits and skills and you need to manage tasks properly. For example you can't send peaceful guy for a military mission because he might fail, get himself or others injured or killed. I don't know if those guys develop themselves in the process. If you manage properly espionage missions you might get a higher espionage rank, but there are others, diplomatic, military, trade, science, development..

[smoku46]

to sum up the gameplay - RPG- you develop yourself and your crew. You choose between scientist, tactical or engineer. You have got accolades which are perks/traits mixed with achievements, you can choose your own unique traits, you distribute exp for ground fighting, science and engineering cathegories, and sometimes you unlock new attacks and moves (like in mass effect 1). Then you have got you main officers, you need to distribute exp for them also, sometimes you need to teach them etc.

[smoku46]

if you like complex games with man management space sim, shooter and rpg elements then this game is for you. It is really complex, has lots of statistics and it takes some time to get a hang of it. Forget about quick flashy shootout. You have different kind of missions, some of them are recon, some are diplomatic, some are trade supervision missions (of course with some shooting, but still with a lot of talking). It doesn't get boring, but its getting harder when you get lt commander

[9htsky]

so is this pay 2 win?

[KingTyger]

@9htsky he clearly said, that he checked the shop, and only brings more customization, for now. i wil ldownload, and i will play, i always wanted to command my own ship ^_^, so yea.

[8soundwave8]

Looks like what you find in an outhouse.

[younggeek1]

this game sucks

[numerocro]

i tryed this game and....omfg booring and stupid game like shit :( ...first you make account, then you take quests and thinking where are quests icons on map...O, just a second, there is no any quests icons on map . ???? I played game 1 day and delete....what a piece of crap. People pay this game before ??' 

[Terranova667]

@numerocro clearly you don't read what the quests tell you to do, they tell you what system to go to you then bring up the galaxy map click on the system you need to go and it auto takes you there pretty much like any MMO does, don't see what your problem is. 

[numerocro]

@Terranova667 i did read,and you dont have auto "path" ( you got only on main quests, little icon where you press and he fly alone to that position and that is realy crapy, not all quests got that )...but nvm, dont playing anymore, game is just to damn booring :)

[14elgenio]

this game is awesome to be free

[MrDeamos]

Omer is always taken... Magicman is never taken

[ClawedMagicman]

@MrDeamos I wish this were true in every game! Sadly I have had to revert to funky spellings of "Magicman" sometimes lol. However my friends, I will stick to my guns and never use xX(name)Xx! If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything I guess :)

-Magicman

[Pendragon1989]

Ok, so I've played several Mmo's.. And I cannot see a diff in this one, versus the hundreds that are already out there... except this one.. takes place in SPACE!! Big deal :/ Great job on the video though, I just expected more

[MrOne3ye]

i loved this game for 1 day now its boring..

[medown]

This game is absolute garbage

[SergioSource]

Really slow.... although I'd prefer to have pistol fights as well in BSG

[Nanbopally]

My question is, WHAT CHANGED to make the game better since launch? The game got bad ratings for poor ground combat, and clumsy interface. Tons of fans were disappointed. That is why it lost money and went to that POS publisher PWE. So... Did PWE fix the bad? Whats going on? LOL Showing noob intro's tells me nothing.

[TheHenrikbro]

lol, much bether to pay star wars the old republic

[garyyu112233]

Is this game free?

[ClawedMagicman]

@garyyu112233 Yep! Went F2P on Jan. 17th. There are options for subscription as well to open expanded features and other goodies.

-Magicman

[haloCE6]

@ClawedMagicman Those subscription things aren't like the things that tell you "You must have a gold account to enter this area" or stop you from getting quests, are they?

[ClawedMagicman]

@haloCE6 No. You can check out the Star Trek Online Features Matrix, but the difference between the F2P and the $14.99 subscription base are:

-limited guild creation in F2P version

-increases in character slots, inventory slots, and bridge officer slots in P2P

-limitations on amount of mail and world chat in F2P model

-in game voice chat has advertisement support in the F2P.

So far all content (besides some species and ship types) are unlimited in both F2P and P2P.

Thanks!

[MrDeamos]

@garyyu112233 HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEERP

[sammaritan12]

not last.

[KidR34p3r]

Can you guys tell us at the end of the First Looks what the rating is? Example: 7/10 stars

[ClawedMagicman]

@KidR34p3r Hi! First Looks are more of just an intro to get basic game information. To be fair and do a review would take more of a time investment. If you want review and opinon type information though you can check out our "Free-To-Play Cast" also on YouTube and iTunes where we express individual opinons on LOTS of things...including the actual games sometime! Thanks!
