Borg should be playable... main reason I won't buy it now
Lifetime subscribers also receive:
- Playable liberated Borg species option in the character creator. Create your very own, customizable character, freshly freed from the Borg collective.
- Two additional character slots.
it'll cost $239.99 USD though. wonder if it's worth it :P (I wouldn't know, I never managed to get my mittens on a key) :(

I'm gonna keep my EVE Subscription (only ever had one account, it's enough for little old me)... but I have a life-time account with STO as well, so that's kind of...
ambivalent.

you can only have two weapons ports set to autofire. one fore, and one aft...
which can become a problem when you get into the bigger ships... having to hit spacebar every 2 seconds gets old, fast.
thankfully I found a bug.. which may or may not still be possible. right-click all your weapons really fast and they'll all get set to autofire. lag is a factor in getting this to work.
sad part is.. shooting more than two guns at once decreases your weapon energy. and the lower that energy is, the less damage your weapons do (my weapons normally did around 200-300 damage, when low on energy, they did around 20-30). so ... setting all weapons to autofire could ultimately be suicide. same can, and is, said for people who just mindlessly spam spacebar at all times.
also.. obviously NEVER set your photon torpedoes on autofire. people will point and laugh at you. (reason: they do next to zero damage to sheids. and when a shield goes down, they generally only stay truly down for about a second or two before they start regenerating.. just a little tiny bit of shields on the enemy's side where your torp hits basically nullifies it. so you want to time it yourself at all times).

yeah, I'm with you on that..
Giving the IP to cryptic was perhaps not the best decision. They're simply not equipped to handle an IP with such a huge fan-base.
City of Heroes/Villains has around 500,000 subscribers... and champions online just launched six or so months ago... http://mmodata.net/
the star trek community looms large.. and if it strikes, the subscriptions could well number in the millions (though prolly not as many as WoW, obviously).
the website, the forum, the mods, the GMs, and above all the game-server isn't equipped to handle that.

the IP-holders yanked it out of perpetual's hands... with right. one week you were supposed to command your own starship, next week we were all supposed to be apart of one big crew, then after that it was squadcombat...
they kept promising stuff, and changing their minds about what kind of a game they wanted... the IP-holders still had a choice though.. they chose poorly, in my arrogant opinion.

Originally by: Reiisha
There's nothing whatsoever in STO that would work in EVE. Nothing. STO is diametrically opposed to EVE in every way - The only thing they have in common is that they're both scifi. But that's a large part of why STO fails. Rather than CCP taking something from Cryptic, Cryptic should have taken something from CCP. As it stands now, EVE is much, much more like Star Trek than STO is.
I dunno.. I really like the *way* that space combat is done in STO, and wouldn't mind if it was implemented in EVE ;) it'd cause HELL to PvP... but PvE would be a lot more fun (at least for me).
firing arcs and having shields on each side of your ship makes for possibilities of some pretty slick strategic manoeuvres.
I'm not too keen on all the Bridge Officer powers and such that you get... mostly because my the time you hit Heavy Cruisers and equivalents.. you get far too many buttons to push and I'm running out of keyboard to use. 1-8 and F1-F8 are all used up... :P

Originally by: Danny3388 Yeh I do like the space combat some what I really wish you could fly your ship in a loop though instead of having a fixed max up and down angle. That really drives me crazy and limits space combat quite a bit.
they've said that they tried putting it in at the beginning but that it did weird things to the engine... and that when they've fixed that, they'll add it in again.

Originally by: M'ktakh And you believed Cryptic?
OTOH, do I have the permission to steal your sig for another forum?
... Ack! you're right of course. I see now the error of my ways (for I have several).
and yeah, sure. Thanks for asking first ;)
