STO is an example of how online gaming SHOULD be done! The way Cryptic makes their cash is by making the player WANT to play and buy the extras because they are cool, not because they are needed, or won't be able to play a certain class of ship if you don't pay. Only the skins are not given to you when you move-up in rank, but you still get a choice of ships for free when you level up. The Only thing I have bad to say about the game is the MEGA SLOW leveling! Klingons level faster though!
@ginko27 yeah, I have 3 characters, 2 are VA and one is captain, I must admit i have played game less and less lately and still have 1500 cryptic points from before, I might go and play the game, this weekend sounds great.
I was worried about was that STO would have LOTS of things disabled that were included with the pay version, but that was not the case! As a matter of fact NOTHING was disabled and they are GIVING away two new classes of ships(1 per faction) and lowered some of their box prices! I also like the random secret boxes that give you a chance(1 in 800) of winning a powerfull Galor class ship, but you have to buy a c100 key to unlock the box. Normaly they give out items worth more than c100!
@beststartrek2 you need to register on startrekonline site, right its still pay to play but from next year it'l be free to play, or from December I am not sure.
