    Anyone fancy doing a fleet together to talk in, etc?

    I can turn on steam and you can contact me there if u want. I don't know how to make an account a friend, but I know if u invite someone and use their full name, i.e. SofondaCox@Colon_Burns, they become your friend and u can see them no matter what character they are on. I keep remaking my fed character to experiment with stuff, but I am mostly plaing on my lvl 11 klingon. Give me a holler if u need help, i can come over to fed np

    Hey Monk, you don't need to keep on clicking. Just right-click your power then left click on it once you targetted an enemy. Then it goes automatic firing.

    What's the klingon side like MRD?

    If I get this I see myself as being much more likely to play Klingons, regardless of the lack of PvE content.

    Klingons have practically np pve content outside of "kill x number of X". So the chance to loot weapons om the ground is nonexistent, however there is plenty of space pve in arenas.

    So how do u make money?

    By fighting in house vs house pvp ques, or by fighting klingon vs fed pvp ques. These matches last around 5 mins, and u get points, xp and money even if u lose. There are also a lot of missions tied in with winning and losing pvp. There are some pvpve ground missions, but they are currently broken, so it ends up u and your away team vs others and their away teams with no xp or rewards, but it is fun. The arena mayches that last 5 mins are just u and other humans. They can be unbalanced, the ques are not perfect, but like i said, u still get xp and money for losing. I went from level 7-14 doing ground battles in a few hours of play.

    There are multiple races to choose from, each with specific stats, some have unique abilities. Or you can create your own, from the same pool of traits available to feds. The skill trees are also identical.

    There are only 2 classes of ships to choose at tier 1 and 2. And so far no exchange, everything is bought from vendors with credits and honor, which has not been a problem so far. For example, a tier 2 pvp match gives u 2k credits, 100+ xp and 60 officer points FOR A LOSS. The ground pvp is much faster than the ship.

    The only real problem I have right now is nowhere to loot ground weapons. I don't mind buying them, but loots have random stats which can be good. These things will be added, just like the exchange. I am not sure if Fed PVP rewards for wins and losses is the same as Klingon, but even if it is, Klingon can pvp far more often because of house vs house battles. I have yet to wait more than 3 or 4 mins for a ground mattch.

    Also,you can access pvp que remotely and join remotely and continue your business. It will zome you out when your turn comes up and return you when u are done. You will lose mission progress on some missions, but you can always choose not to take the zone and continue on your way. I like to shop and explore while qued.

    Personally, I find it far more entertaining than doing the same storyline missions over and over.


    A few tips for ppl who may not know:

    You can access most people who gave u missions remotely, so u can cash in the mission and get another without flying home

    There is a command in toolbar to take u back to starbase, but it has a 30m timer.

    U can set a lot of space weapons to auto attack by right clicking on them, so you dnt have to spam click in space battles

    Everyone can rez in ground fights

    Your away team can use the same level equipment as you can

    Your bridge officers cannot use tier 2 luetenant skills on the ship if you don not have a LT. level station that lets them use a 1 & 2. You will still need to train these skills, but it takes management to decide who to equip and when.

    Bridge officer skills can be traded at the vendor, but u do not get the points invested back

    The skill trees are not linear. All tier two skills unlock, no matter if you have something in that tree, because if you look at them, they really arent trees at all. A lot of people think u need to max a skill to take the one on the right, and that is not the case. You cannot, however, bank skills to spend on more expensive skills later, because there is a set amount u have to spend to get next rank.

    Thats all I can think of right now

    Good and Bad news.

    Bad news is apparently the BETA server has reached full capacity, meaning many are having problems logging on as the sheer number of people playing is to much for the server to take.

    This could be viewed as good news however as it means an ample amount of people are wanting to at least try this game already.

    I am loving the PvP aspect, especially Space PvP.

    Also, Klingon's, stop cloaking and lurking. All you do is make all the feds crowd together, then you just get one shotted as soon as you go out of cloak.

    It is silly, the Klingon's keep just running around cloaking, so the feds just camp the spawns, and oneshotting them and we are winning all the games.
