• daymig @ Jan 6th, 2013 3:44AM

• oxironheart @ Jan 4th, 2013 8:18AM

  ebrin i dont want to sound like a startrek online fanboy but this isnt wow this is effectively 2 mmos in one as well as much more defined then wow. yes lvling is very fast i can lvl a toon too 50 in a few days but thats just the beginning. and if you hadnt noticed there is going to be expansions you can already see the iconians will be coming shows bits and pieces in 7 or 8 episodes. lastly try lvling without buying your way through the whole damn thing.

• fox1616 @ Jan 3rd, 2013 2:26PM

  did both mission to get the Reman and Breen officers in one day for two of my Toons. cool

• mirrorterran @ Jan 3rd, 2013 9:36AM

  I wrote a huge post praising cryptic but it vanished in the ether...so nevermind

• cyjet @ Jan 3rd, 2013 9:04AM

  Yeah, bridge officers should be hot :) I like this one though, reman dude. The game is fine. There is a lot to do, of course. But it's already good. Keep up the good work!

• enabrin1 @ Jan 3rd, 2013 5:24AM

  Really? A redux of old missions to get a couple of feeble pieces of gear, and a couple of BOFFs that are as far away from cute (watch Robotech, ALL bridge crews should be female, and if not hot, then at least not repulsive) as you can possibly get. I've been playing a few months under the impression that it is a new game, and it wasn't until just recently that I learned that it's been in open release for a couple of years, first as a P2P, and now a F2P. Frankly I was shocked that the game has existed that long and has so very little content, especially when it comes to an 'end-game'. If I had to describe how you've presented the Star Trek franchise, it would be 'Uninspired'. There have been many successful MMOs which preceded STO, and it seems like you just took a brief look at how they were put together, rather than truly understanding what made them epic, captivating, and above all else, sheer fun to play. An MMO with a Warcraft look and feel doesn't make a game great. As they say, putting lipstick on a pig doesn't make it into a supermodel. I made it to the level 50 cap in an alarmingly brief amount of time, and when I did Terradome my first (and only) time, I thought, "AH! So here's where the REAL group instances start!" and as I'm a former Warcraft player, I know that I was guilty of expecting too much, but I just feel like Terradome WAS the endgame, the pale equivalent of Warcraft's Molten Core, Black Temple, or Icecrown Fortress. After that, there was nothing but dilithium farming and STF grinding for the MACO and Omega mark XII gear sets, which didn't take long at all to round up, and even then I was still thinking that it had all just been a primer, and at any moment I'd get a new set of missions from Starfleet Command, and the game would finally get challenging, and I'd get to really make some use out of all those purple bits of mark XII. But it never happened. I was looking so hard for a good 'end game' experience, I never realized that it was already 'game over'. Seriously guys, I'm not going to say I regret sinking as much money into STO as I have, because it was moderately entertaining until the point I realized I was at my maximum potential, and there wasn't an epic boss-fight to challenge me. I'm just wondering what's my motivation to keep me buying or farming Zen? I'm big on powerful gear. I'm not big on vanity pets and costume bits, which seems to be the only part of the STO galaxy left to explore. Sigh.

• getafix101

  Can't fully agree... there is mass amounts of different things to do in STO, maybe you should not have spent hundreds of dollars buying boosts for XP and followed the story through. Even after that there is still loads of seperate missions to tryout and team battles, ship combos and ground combo set ups that can be tried. From what i can see, ingame has mass things to do. I have been playing for about 2year and still haven't done everthing this game has to offer. The one thing that I aggree slightly with you is with your last line about vanity pets and cosume bits is low on the interest side for me aswell.

• scottaprice

  You make some very strong points, although I do not agree with everything you mention. The new STFs (HIVE) are quite challenging and as far as the frontier of end-game content, I would recommend that you consider PVP or working with the Foundry to provide some new, more challenging missions that fit your ideas of end-game content. You are TOTALLY CORRECT in the fact that leveling in this game is EXTREMELY TOO EASY. I leveled one character up doing 2 missions only and the rest of the XP came from DOFF Missions. I once made the suggestion in the forums feedback that an order of magnitude be taken off the XP rewards to throttle back the leveling, again making one feel like they have EARNED it. When I started at launch, it was much more difficult to level. My guess is that Cryptic changed it when the F2P Model debuted so that the masses would not lose interest too fast. While I do like the costume pieces (they help with immersion), do not care for the vanity pets. My motivation for continuing playing is that I love Star Trek and I love playing the game with my awesome Fleet. Several of us have even decided to replay regular missions on Elite just for fun, but this does not provide the most challenging aspect of say STFs or really well crafted Foundry Missions.

• qlark001 @ Jan 2nd, 2013 9:49PM

  As I was aske to leave a comment, being a good Federation citizen I will comply. The game is better than many comments would lead one to expect, especially if you're a long time Star Trek fan. Is there room for improvement? Yes. However, it is immersive enough as is for my taste, so thanks Crytic.

• docture1

  Yeah Buddy

• darkcrusaderblac @ Dec 12th, 2012 11:41AM

  I really hate myself right now my grafic card crashed and I cant play the game I always wanted to have a cane in the game that would have looked so awesome with my old character and his rank so hope to be fixed in time :(

• sirokk

  If you are using an Intel i3 or better CPU, there is a video chip built into the CPU, the quality is not good but playable for missions. If you plug your monitor into the motherboard it might work well enough to get you by until you can replace your video card.

• blake73 @ Dec 11th, 2012 5:44PM

  Not sure if it's been mentioned here or anywhere on the forums but the lobi in Cold Comfort is glitched. It's sitting too high on the bulkhead and can't be accessed.

• rogers1701 @ Dec 11th, 2012 3:52PM

  Thanks for giving players that missed these items the opportunity to snag them. Keep up the awesome work.

• valmorian @ Dec 10th, 2012 9:12AM

  I am kinda new to the game, and I see you need a damn high level for this and honestly I don't know what to do xd ye do missions and that stuff but its boring... ( I play alone ) so if there is someone who can explain the game to me or help me atleast a little bit further I would be very happy :) (sorry if this isn't a forum thingy but ye I am new so sorry if I already f*cked it up)

• asches1

  hi. relax, np. yea, lvling is a bit lonesome work. you do it mostly alone. for some missions, you can ask in chat "zone" if somebody wants to do the mission with you. if you are federation go to spacedock and ask when you are there. if you klingon, go to klingon homeworld and ask there. maybe there are some players who want to do it with you (they get a reward too) or just help you. if you cant find anybody, try asking if you could join a fleet (thats something like a guild if you know what i mean). in a fleet there are always some helpfull people who will help you advance and explain stuff to you. just keep playin'. you'll get the hang of it. try finding smby from the 111th fleet (fed or kdf side). you could join us for sure. good luck and cu in game (maybe) :D greets

• fox1616

  join a fleet and play with other fleet member your lvl. I for one enjoy playing sole missions-- but the more the better.

• teroknor2012 @ Dec 9th, 2012 1:42PM

  I've been waiting for this for a LONG time!! I will be playing this game like there's no tommorrow!

• lordrevan35 @ Dec 9th, 2012 12:26PM

  I missed some of these rewards last tim. So I am getting all of my characters these rewards now. SoI won't have to wait next time.

• jackice1 @ Dec 7th, 2012 9:40PM

  so becuse I have done this before I cant get lobi crystal again dang it, thats sucks

• soleta63 @ Dec 7th, 2012 5:26PM

  SSSOOOOO.... When playing the Romulan Feature episodes will I get any Romulan Reputation Marks. Not being sarcastic or anything, just wanted too know If I could replay these missions for Romulan Marks

• mrcaton1 @ Dec 7th, 2012 3:13PM

  Thanks from a new player. Looking forward to getting those Boffs. Question: I haven't finished all these missions once yet. Am I still eligible for the rewards? And can I use the "skip" feature to get to these before the time expires, then go back and play the others. Once S7 hit I stopped doing episodes to work on reputation . Thanks!

• machin3gun @ Dec 7th, 2012 2:08PM

  So how many of the series do we need to complete, to get the bridge officer, or do we need to complete all of them. just asking a question

• jasperger

  To claim the rewards, you just have to finish the last mission of each story. But I would advise playing them all to get the hidden lobi crystals and the accolades.

• getafix101

  there not all the last mission of each story .... just look for the correct name t the mission and do that one for each item.

• commanderpickard @ Dec 7th, 2012 1:43PM

  I have finished the Breen missions like they said and didn't recieve my Breen tactical officer.I never had one so there was no mistake from my part..!

• johnathanzadoc

  Do the Last Breen Mission and thats when you can choose what you get

• sharpie65

  did you do them during the Feature episode series? if not that would explain why you got no Breen officer

• eternal0solstice @ Dec 7th, 2012 1:23PM

  I hope that someday I could get a Romulan officer. (With gender being chosable) Because I hate having to go through such a delicate proceedure to try to recreate one as an Alien.

• captainfry420x @ Dec 7th, 2012 6:46AM

  All these rewards are excellent, anyone who doesn't have them should run these great episodes. I only wish I could put my Breen and Jem'Hadar officers in proper Starfleet uniforms.

• gindjurra

  Given that the Breen suit is basically a space suit that they die without, putting one in a Federation uniform wouldn't last very long...

• sharpie65

  you could probably put one OVER the EV suit, if the game would let you

• spitingcobra @ Dec 7th, 2012 2:48AM

  the rewards from my point are crap but i have most xii gear but i had that befor s7 came out so i re started other 1 and i finding it better to and a bit harder to get gear for it after s7 but also with the dill need to put up a bit 8k to easy to get 12 /15k would be better but that from my point.back to the rewards should but better stuff for ground fight or ship not crew

• emperormeko @ Dec 7th, 2012 2:17AM

  i say that if anything needs to be changed it has to be the items that are more begining to be puchased with dilithium. its not enough that we already got to put dilithium on starbase projects, but now we got to spend it on items for to combat the borg and to buy items from the romulin menu? come on guys. if you are gona do that you could at least put the dilithium count to a minimum of 20k for non payers. this 8 k limit is crap. i am sure that meny people agree with me. in my fleet i am spending everything i get in EC and in dilitium on my fleet. i dont got a chance 99% of the time to even spend it on myself.

• reaperwrighty @ Dec 7th, 2012 12:54AM

  Thank you
