If you have an account with fileplanet you can get into todays and this weekends closed beta by simply going to fileplanet and signing up. Access is instant once you go through the signup hoops though the client is about 10 gigs so it might take a while to actualy get online. Today will be my first real playtime with STO so I'll put in some impressions later today in this thread. Got some good hopes for this one based on their current forum feedback. Might even be a worthy successor to the late great earth and beyond if they can get the pve right. Also Klingons are the pvp race and will be included at launch though all the pve content is completely federation oriented like the rest of the game. Supposedly this will get changed with future free content expansions ala eve.

Oh thats just the normal gaming forum emo stuff. An example: There is a 70 page thread with all manner of broke as a joke whingers wanting it to be a free to play microtransaction only game with literal paragraphs in each poast just dripping with bile and all the stuff we here at eve-o are used to on a daily basis. The forums as a whole are filled to the brim with all the normal omg sto will die and never get any subscribers if you make us pay a sub for it or if you don't make x ship have y function.. blah blah blah. Just sticking to the dev comments and reasonable threads it looks like some good thought went into making the game and they are really pushing hard to make sure pvp is a viable option on launch. But like I said I'll have a much better understanding when the servers go live in another hour or so. As far as the goons I'm sure they will all be klingons camping the 'spawn' points in the pvp areas with the currently op cloaking bops.

Which is why I'm trying the beta all the way till release to see what its like. Mount and Blade looked like a steaming pile too from the outside but its one of the best games evah imho once I actually played it.

Actualy they look to be going fed. Reason being that most of the tear producing carebears are also going fed so they will have the likes of darth vader and william shatpants roaming around the pve areas

You get two character slots so one will be fed and one klingon. And yes I too will be pushing the mechanics to see how far greifing can go in the pve areas with a fed character. Eve has ruined me in that regard at least and why other mmo's I used to enjoy as a carebear diversion are no longer appealing to me.
edit: server is up! \o/

Open beta is in like a week or so and you can get in anytime with a fileplanet or steam account.
Also: The Very First Space Elf.
Character creation is zomg detailed or you can go with one of the six premade characters. Now to actually get in the game. \o/

From what i understand it is one server, but subdivided in "shards". That is the one thing i am still a bit worried about actually, the game has a lot of instancing. So a bit of both i guess.

Awww, all the free beta keys seem to be gone.
Shame, as that would be the only way I'd ever play that MMO.

The Trekkie in me says "try it out" but there is too much going on in RL to deal with a second MMO.

What does everyone have against fileplanet? A years sub was $9.99 and I get easy access to all the major betas for new games and a faster patching path for really large updates that kill the autopatch feature of alot of games.
Ok I ran out of time on the limited play beta a few days ago and didn't really get very far as I wasted most of the time in character creation making a zillion differnt aliens. But I did get a bit into the introductory missions and left off at the point the borg were invading a colony you just arrived at. Luckily the servers will be up this entire weekend on to early monday morning PST so I am going to reroll a more serious character and document the first few hours of play and then post it here.
My impression on the little bit I did play though is that it is going to be kinda like mass effect with the ground combat and such. You get your bridge crew as you go along and they can be leveled up and given abilities to help you out in the fights. Space fighting with your ship was similar to the star fleet command games with directional shields and the absolute priority of getting maximum weapon arcs to overlap whilst keeping your damaged sections out of the line of fire. All and all it was rather enjoyable with all the familiar trek sights and sounds even though this is pretty much the same type of riskless carebear mmo as all the others out there. So no worries for eve as I see this mainly draining the members from wow and its many clones.

May I just say I absolutely love how that one guy is just standing there stroking his chin. "hmmm, should I help fight off the Borg assault, or just let them assimilate me? Hmm..."

True, But there ship combat appears a lot better then just F key mashing.
Firing Arcs, Diffrent shild impact points, appears a bit more tactical then Eve.

What? I love my Domi being four big ****ing pixels on a screen against a station.
STO looks quite fun though, open beta is starting Tuesday? will have to try.
Combat looks fun and music is quite nice too.
