To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Mmmm... I'm pretty sure that Goonswarm will have a presence in STO. Must be their fault 🙂

A ST goonsquad is ok because Star Wars has had a presence in MMO's for some time now and it will be nice to see how STO turns out. I want Cryptic to succeed because this will just fuel the space genre of games so the more success all of the developers have the more fun for us 🙂

Hope I get in the beta, I just didn't want to have to pre-order to get in.

Well went to bestbuy and picked up the pre-order box for $5 and i have my beta key. The 7.8GB client should be done downloading when I get home today so over the next few days I will give STO a spin and hopefully post some nice screenshots and give everyone my opinion. Is anyone else here in the beta that I could hook up with in the game?

Done last night I played about 30mins before Cryptic did some server patching 🙁

But I was able to at least make my character, which the character generation screen is very indepth and I spent like 40+ mins just tweaking my character looks. I went with creating my own race and didn't use the defaults. You will get to pick from 4 natural abilities if you create your own race if you choose other races modifiers are chosen for you and then you will be able to pick 1-2 more for a total of four.

I will be checking my directories tonight to see if the printscreen button is actually saving pics. And if so I will have a flood of them I will upload this weekend. I'll do my best to describe all areas and what I think about them. But also at Bestbuy you can still go in and buy the $5 pre-order box and there is no obligation to buy the full game 🙂

And for everyone use the torrent download MUCH quicker.

I was hoping to write a little something up this weekend. I have taken many screenshots and will try to display all aspects of the game that I could access or see and give my opinions on gameplay during the process. Patience, patience 🙂

I decided not to purchase STO and was going to wait to read up on some of the things I will talk about in my mini review of my beta experiences.

To bad this game wasn't free. Either initially or monthly, that would have been awesome. Im probably one of the few people that's a ST fan, that wont be playing this game for the simple fact, I refuse to pay monthly fees for the privilege of playing a game I own. They could have easily made this puppy free, and still made a crap load of money off it.. And gotten 10x's the playerbase, and beat out WoW.
