Klingons only have 2 tier 2 ships, and both are fragile. There is no other way to fight the high numbers of Feds at the moment. Cloak and take out the stragglers. Eventually the feds turtle up together. Wash, Rinse, Repeat. Tier 3 will bring new things

I don't like space pvp matches, they take too long to be a viable means of xp and they bore me. If you think you have it bad, try playing klingon vs klingon. Those matches last forevers

Space matches seem fast pace on the Starfleet side, maybe because we are having to constantly fight off klingon's while you cloak and hide behind rocks. Problem is, we have to wait like 30 minutes or so, before we can even get in the match, since the Klingon's tend to do house matches most of the time, just for 5 minutes or so of pvp time.

I think cloaked hit and run is here to stay, especially since there will be better BOP, but it will be on a smaller level. When a shio comes out of cloak, its shields are down for a second...no big deal...but while u are in cloak the shields stay down. So when a science vessel spots a cloaker and people start shooting him -- he doesnt uncloak on auto, he has to do it manually -- so all those first shots do straight hull damage. Trust me, the matches will speed up once klingons get a big ship and fed science vessels get better cloak detection with more science slots

Yeah, I am hoping for some of those big non-cloaking cruisers to come into play. Klingon's will really start to dominate then, as when fed's go to attack that, they will decloak and get the feds.

I downloaded the BETA today and so far I'm enjoying it. I'm really more interested in this game because im a Star Trek fan, not so much because im a fan of MMORPG's but so far it seems pretty fun.

I particularly like the way "levelling" works and the way you can also assign skill points to Bridge Officers to also adds more depth to the game.

If I find myself still wanting more after BETA I think I'll end up buying this. On another note does anyone perhaps have a spare BETA key? I have a friend who could use one. Much appreciated if any one has.

The level system is evil, in the sense there is no way to refund points, and when you read how the skills work, then you will see how you have to specialise really early in either ground or space for best results.

edit: They removed the level cap, etc now. It will be interesting to see what has been missed.
