the space combat reminds me of Nexus the Jupiter Incident kind of game play except for the lack of graphics and cool looking weaponry but i guess star trek has its own class of design. Although one question can we fit warp distruptors and webifiers ?? other wise they will just warp out right ?? Maybe we need warp bubble spamming ^^
Another great video, its not the best advice ever but still good, Even though i have a Rear Admiral, i still get some of the things wrong and these videos help.
Not to mention, that they talk about all this "strategy" when it really doesn't mean squat because if you DO blow up, who cares. You just magically respawn 15-20 seconds later.
I think it would be a lot better if the exploration of a ship wasn't limited to the bridge, you could go to your bridge when you're out of a fight and then take a turbolift to a certain floor, each ship would be different, and each of the three variations would have slightly different layouts that still melded together no matter how they are put together, also customising the general theme of the ship and being able to bring your friends inside your ship would be a huge plus to many people
I totally agree, it would be better if I could go to the engineering room and hammer on bunch of consoles to get the ship fixed. If I want Action I would play CS:S
But don't -tell- me what -I- believe is fun, nor how to have it. Alright? Thanks. I can manage that on my own.
And as cool as it is, do a better job of playing off how the heart pounding drama of boarding parties have been dropped to a very complex MISSILE EFFECT
I am a Trekie and have been playing this game for 2 weeks now . . . as an MMO . . it is good . . if you are a Trekie. . . it is brilliant. I love this game.
If done right this could be a great game for guilds. ships could be upgraded based on the guild size, and players could have their own quarters within the ship so whenever they log into the ship they can report for duty or just hang out in the observation room. I'll bet that most people logging into a star trek game are looking for the star trek experience of interacting with other players more then everyone pretending to be a captain of their own crappy ship.
Hmm. Star Trek Online, Star Wars: The Old republic, Stargate Online... with so many good options of sci-fi MMORPGs, it is strange that nobody has ever thought in doing a MMORPG based in series like Babylon 5 or Andromeda. I wonder why.
Most MMORPGs aren't that good as for a start but are modified along the road. The creators often save the best parts for later expantions as gamer raters often gives MMORPGs low ratings to start with seeing that they are unaware of how good a online game will actually get and won't risk looking unprofesional.
lol another thing umm they dont use shields to board a ship they teleport them in to the ship like in most show.they only use shuttle for covert op or they are fighting in an area that they cant use their teleporting device or the lost powers or the system was distroyed.
I hope for multiple players on one ship as well as that opens up chances for the real juicy bit: Players who defend your ship from boarding parties while the ship is in battle, their performance affecting how you are doing.
I did! Lol. It seemed weird the first time around but then I realized what it was. I hope to the almight ypowers that be that it wasn't a glitch. Saucer separation is a major ++ in my book. It would also be neat if they allowed your friends to be in your crew instead of a captain as well. Having people frantically fix your ship while under seige is amazing.
@Shaprika holy crap, I must say Im not a star trek fan, but the concept that you just put in my head is just AMAZING, I would love to see a game operate like that, have actual deck hands taking care of the ship while a "captain" commands the ships movement and tactics. It would it would require lots of teamwork, but I think that is just a awesome concept that should be added to some mmorpg.
Haha thanks. The only thing that I ever loved about ST was their ships. I swear I'd be the first person in line to test one out if they were real, haha. But yeah, teamwork! Who wouldn't want that? Though... I can see the issue if your ship can't leave the docks to to your pilot (friend) having an English test at school... haha.
That wouldnt be too much of a issue if your whole guild resided on the ship so as people logged in they could take on different responsibilities in the bridge. in any case the players could have different classes that could benefit away team missions which would benefit both the players and their ship with increased stats for both.
@Shaprika solution a bot can pilot ship if he is away or do a crew search and find a temp replacement who knows you might meet future members of your crew that way!
@Aurastormx I see Romulans, Klingons and Federation ships. if you thought this was going to be a scan this and that, along with lets see what we can do if we mix a trill weed with a Romulan tree sort of game, and have it as a finite exploration, then this game is not for you
ive been playing the open beta, besides the usual beta glitches (which is no suprise), once they clean this game up, im certain this game will run very nicely. i cant wait to explore more of this game tomorrow .
I'm not going to assume anything, Open Beta starts in 3 Days. So give it a try. That's the wonderful thing about Open Beta now a days. Let's you try a game before committing to buying it. As it is I'm a *wee* bit unsure of this game. It's features remind me WAAAAAY too much of "Pirates of the Burning Sea" mmo...which some of you may know was a flop. (A game where they have to condense 12 servers into 4 to keep player count per server high enough is not a good sign).
ah true but a lot of the problem with that and many other SOE MMOs (which hav a lot of potetial) are let down by a lack of interest in this case a bnighn concern as well its STAR TREK !!!! there will always be a solid fan base
Who cares how much like SFC it is. combat in SFC was fun and worked very well. if its not broke dont fix it. the appeal here i think is making the ship yours, upgrading it and your crew which is clearly much more detailed then SFC. and since i dont hear anyone offering any better ideas, quit your bitchin and just dont play the game.
@Niklotov YES! Thank you! Finally someone besides me has noticed that. When they got the game from Perpetual, Cryptic decided to rip ideas straight out of SFC for the game, rather than make it an immersive Trek experience that Perpetual had in mind. I'm betting the ground combat is just an mmo version of Elite Force with skills and random damage rolls. I'm very disappointed in this game.
@BoydofZINJ I've seen enough gameplay video of the starship combat, and played enough Dynaverse online for the SFC games to know where Cryptic got its inspiration from. I'm not saying it's entirely a bad thing (even Avatar was derivative), but it only serves to further enhance the rushed feeling of the product. Creative game design was clearly sacrificed for profit motive here. I understand a lot of developers do that with games all the time, but at least try to make it not so...well, obvious.
It is a bit different than SFC/SFB - it is more MMO based, not as complex. It is a MMO mixture. You have to remember, this is ultimately an MMO. Rare drops and smart player creations will mean your ship will do better than another ship. Likewise, there is tons of customization and your bridge officers are an extension of both you and yourship and customizeable.
They really shouldn't assume like that. I mean when he said, "You don't want to be banging on the computer trying to figure out things work". There's a reason in most ST conventions there's more ppl dressed as an engineer. Most of us fans ARE geeks who LIKE trying to figure out how it works. Now I like this game too, but I think most of us would WANT to do the behind the works scene even if at least sometimes. Since when are ST fans known for being trigger happy adrenaline junkies?
Yeah, completely agree, altough I've never been to any conventions :D Actually I can't imagine to do this during a fight, but there should be some quests or maybe they could include "power up" like stuff, which u can only start by pressing buttons on panels filled with techno blabla :D Or some serious injuries could be only repaired that way. And if u don't like it, there could be an option, to exclude these kind of part of the game, and auto repair everyting(which'd be a bit less succesful).
Your exactly right, there would be plenty of players (myself included) who would enjoy trying to repair damaged systems in the middle of a fire fight. Incidentally this would make having a good boarding party perfect as you could invade the other guilds ship and "stun" the players thus allowing your guild to capture the other ship for merit points or something.
Once all was said and done the losing side could start back out from dry dock or something. Either way guilds would be the way to go.
correction to u and havokkG1 they say u will be able to do this but not at release i dont know about walking around your ship when being attacked but they said that u might be a ble to play as boarding parties or at least go to your main points in your ship like engineering holodeck bridge etc ... but not at release.
the space combat reminds me of Nexus the Jupiter Incident kind of game play except for the lack of graphics and cool looking weaponry but i guess star trek has its own class of design. Although one question can we fit warp distruptors and webifiers ?? other wise they will just warp out right ?? Maybe we need warp bubble spamming ^^
