I was really disappointed with Star Trek to be honest. It had some good points, but certain things just annoyed the hell out of me. Ground combat was disgracefully bad (i know it's better now), and i hated the Sector Map/Travelling system. It just felt totally unnatural, and looked awful. I will give it another go though, as the space combat was enjoyable.

To be fair though, I just wanted Eve Online, with a better combat system, and ships from Star Trek.

Of the too big space franchise games(this and Star Wars Old Republic), I prefer this. I still think SWTOR is a great game, but it doesn't feel too Star Wars-ish, where as this is all Star Trek, through and through.

To use schematics in crafting you craft the one that matches the final item you wish to craft for example personal shield. The schematic is cheap to craft mats wise and when done appears in your inventory. You then need the other mats + schematic listed under the item you wise to craft. If some items on the list are in red it means you don't have enough of that mat.

Cheers. They could have made that a little easier to understand in the game text.

I've been playing for a couple of days now and am enjoying it. Decided to take a trip to Deep Space 9 today and won some Latinum by playing Dabo. It's a nice feature.

The Klingon content is pretty similar to the random Federation content. I haven't played too much with them, but there's a few storylines and mostly system exploration. It's slightly different to the Feds, but nothing major.

I have a Lvl 50 federation and lvl 30 klingon and still like the game alot.
if you play the episodes, its like a single player mmo with some very good storys. I understand when someone says the ground combat is bad. but its the smaller part of the game. and i have played the game without ever paying a cent. I have only converted in game currency to C points and spent that. and with only 2 very easy and quick missions, you will currently get about 6 C points per char per day. so it does add up fast. i average about 20 to 25 a day with two char. and i am not grinding C points. i could double that easy.

I am looking for an irish fleet, or people interested in starting one.

we need a mon of 5 people to currently create a fleet, there are a few other rules, but i think we should be ok. but they say that maybe after the season 6 update, they will reduce the 5 headcount requirement.
